  1. Just Old men and kids Sigh, 8000 British - dead.
  2. I could take all of you on and not even break a sweat!
  3. Acctually I was talking about WWII, how they all presumed Operation Market Garden was going to be a success, and thus allow armour across the Rhine and into Germany, ending the war by Christmas.
  4. The only thing the Sith were mainly focusing on was the Enclave, the people talk about how the Sith also terrorised the people and how Dantooine got pretty much ruined, but they rebuilt everything, except the Enclave. I dont see how things such as rain or fog would be the after effect of bombing, yet alone furtherly depict what has happened when already there has been massive changes in Dantooine and they are enough.
  5. Yeah, but its not easy. Near to the end you can use force powers which gives you the upper advantage. You just need to choose your weapons right and try to do best with what you have. Just try and use the most appropriate moves, and focus on one at a time and just try and ignore the other, despite how hard it is lol. Just be persistant, and watch what moves you do.
  6. Ah yes, it will be all over by Christmas, now where have I heard that before. Then it was about an extra 6 or so months.
  7. Kath hounds seemed much more of a challenge, in K1 Dantooine there seemed much more places to explore and walk around too, I got lost especially when I had to find them Mandalorian Raiders, I never seemed to find the last one, untill I started from the top and swept my way down. But there was much more to explore which is what I liked, and a lot of quests. You could go to the Sandral and Matale estates, the Star Map area, the Enclave, the tainted grove. K2 Dantooine seemed to lack this, most places were cut purposely by debris, like the way to the Star Map. There wasnt much to see or do either, it was mainly the Enclave ruins, Salvagers, Mercs and Khoonda.
  8. Sif say bloke.
  9. Yeah, in K1 everyone was out to get you not saying it wasnt like that in K2 but it seemed where ever you went there was something big you had to face, the Krayt Dragon for another example.
  10. Considering that speaking and talking is the same thing, and yes I believe he does talk. Oh and your sig being to big... as well.
  11. I just passed it as the Franks, IMO they are the strongest. One of their weakest backbone troops are Axe Heerbann, and it only gets better from there, from there it goes to Sword Heerbann, and finally Fransisca Heerbann, its good because you have decent support and back up infantry, just spam swordsmen and fransisca because they match the Cominstes (sp) and Auxillia Pallinta (sp, lol) I believe Romans lack the infantry units, all they had in their cities were Peasants, come on, I conquered Rome with Swordsmen and Axemen, Rome only had peasants and a couple of Cominstes. The Vandals just annoyed me, and they were on my list to choose from at the beginning due to their heavy infantry and cavalry. I just dont like the idea of hordes in Barbarian Invasion because its almost impossible to defeat them, well automatically. Personally I just prefer normal Rome, there is much more variety and when I asked my friend if they Greeks were in it, and he said no I almost refused to play the game
  12. Lol, These are not the droids you are looking for... Move along.
  13. Not saying that it was a bad game, but if it lost the Lego element, it would make a serious decent game.
  14. The phalanx did include shields (heavy round shields) not just long spears. Likewise the Romans also used spears and round shields at points in their history. The romans altered their tactics and equipment over time-the most 'common' visual image of a roman soldier with a long rectangular shield and a throwing spear comes from the later periods, long after the Spartians were gone. My guess is that the Roman fasination for the Spartains probably stems from having their backsides kicked by them in battle. The Romans didn't win every battle against the Greeks, I think the Spartains were one of the hardest of the greek city states to subjue. Plus the Romans had a general interest in Greek culture and history that wasn't just confined to the Spartains-Athens was also held in high regard, but for different reasons. Acctually, the Romans with the large square shields were first, it was about 200BC that the Romans had been using it, and around 300AD they had changed their design to a rounder smaller shield, an oblong shape. Ps. I am currently playing Barbarian Invasion, sigh... The Romans dont really have any good units whatsoever and therefore I have been trying to play as a sustainable Barbarian race, many arent the best are you get raided by hordes or just lack the infantry, so I am going quite well at the moment with the Franks and declared war on the Romans, I am on the doorstep of Rome itself with all the neighboring settlements owned by yours truely. Pps. Xard can you give me a link, this mod sounds interesting
  15. Hehe, I had to do a 7km run today, and I sucked! Well, I kinda deserved the pain after not doing any excercise for about 2 weeks.
  16. That's what I thought. Since the Romans did evolve off the Spartan form of warfare (not to mention improve the phalanx and hop-like warfare in general) I always thought that the Mandalorians were like the next step in evolution, leading them to be what they are today. I just saw more Roman characteristics in the Mandalorians than simply a specific profession society. When Mandalore gives his little speech and such, you can see the "camera" panning over the various other jobs. They have technicians, etc. I just see them as Romans, IMO. But I just like reading this thread. It's very interesting. QFE Anyways, the Romans had completely different formations to the phalanx, considering that the Romans lacked in spears in the early years and were based on cohorts consisting of swords and javelin based combat. The Phalanx was spears and only spears with the first 3-4 rows of men with their spears out horizontially, and the next row just higher.. and so on so it formed like a porcupine. Anyways to think off the top of my head one of the Roman formations without acctually researching it, because its late and I cbf, the Testudo was nothing like the Phalanx. Considering that the Spartans played their role about 500-200 years before the Romans, and the Romans were believed to been decendants from those at ancient Troy, not Sparta. Everyone now is like ZOMG SPARTANS I WANA 6 PACK AND PWN SOME PERSIANS COS I SAW 300! LAWL!!11one Edit: Anyways, Mustipicon? (I certainly do hope I spelt his name right, or ill be put to shame) pwns you all with his ancient history knowledge, ah yes good old Rome Total War ps. I got a leet Spartan skin mod so they dont just have those lousy red robes
  17. LoL, sif battlefront is the best, that was an attempt for LucasArts to get the 10-13 year olds into Star Wars, recently acheiving the 5-9 bracket with LEGO STAR WARZ ZOMG LOL!!! But pretty much, battlefront was like OH PEWPEWPEW LAZ0RZXX!!111 NO WAII
  18. Hehe Back on topic, with the new p33nage Vista, I think it will open a new gateway, it already has, Halo 2 is coming out for computer so if they had any intent of making KotOR3 it would definately come out on the 360 first, and computer would certainly be able to keep up
  19. Whoever said that the Romans evolved off the Spartans are wrong And seriously, some of you people need to learn your history...
  20. Legolas doesnt get cookies, I doubt they even had cookies in Middle-Earth, I think you are mistaken by Elvish bread.
  21. I didnt mind the time it took to become a jedi in outcast, because in the end it was worth it. In academy there isnt really a chance for you to use your other weapons because lightsaber pretty much owns everything, and with the moves you have its practically over powered. Despite the one level were your lightsaber was taken from you and you have to fight your way with the E-11 blaster, it still wasnt set up as good as Outcast's FPS and blaster combat.
  22. What is it with internets and Sadomasochism? But at least you don't have a warped view on gender roles. So that's ok, I guess. Rofl. Well, I certainly dont want to take a venture into these morning woods spoken about.
