Through the Constitution the People grant very specific and limited powers to the government. This is contrary to all (I believe) other governments up to this time which assumed ALL powers were vested in the rulers who then granted specific powers to the people. An incredible concept if you think about it, and an epic paradigm shift. Magna Carta worked along similar lines, but was less explicit about it. Any government that acknowledges any rights of citizens as a fundamental matter shares something similar, but of course the people being the source of the law was mostly unorecedented. Bits of it here and there, but not rarely so explicitly. Link to post Share on other sites

Garbad 10,517 Author Share Posted November 9, 2015 Bottom was trying to look more like actual roman armor. Top was just lack of anything better. Plus the bottom guy is both pale and a beefcake. Link to post Share on other sites
zombiemachine 2 Share Posted November 9, 2015 You could try darkening the bottom guy's armor too, but because his knees are exposed they will contrast even more than they already do. Link to post Share on other sites
PanzerZak 72 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Hi Garbad, unfortunately mister Stannis Baratheon changed his mind, he does not want to become king anymore Who do you think is best fit now for ruling Westeros? In my opinion Grand maestor Pycelle would be the best candidate. Link to post Share on other sites

So let's see: Porne - all retards. way to dick over spanish culture Tyrell - shitters all. olenna is a grossly inflated bit char being propped up as a major player for pc reasons, will get shat on soon enuf Greyjoy - literally inbred retards. Stark - so let's see...we have a wild toddler, a cripple, a murderer, and an amazon who thinks getting raped is empowering. Eh, I guess I vote for the toddler. Lannister - There are no other men like me, only me. Get fucked all others, including the runt. Frey - Winter is Coming. Although Black Walder is kind of pimp, i hope he gets skullfucked last. Arryn - zzzz. However, Dance with me Now so they get some respect. Baratheon - still rowing. He's our only hope. :/ So....I guess that leaves dany.

PanzerZak 72 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Two weeks ago I hadn't watched a single game of thrones-episode, since then I binge watched all of them. To be honest Stannis disappointed me. Losing all battles he partakes in, suicide marching into Bolton stronghold, having a woman advising him. I don't think he really died though, why make a special Stannis-melody for Stannis-scenes otherwise. I hope he dumps the red woman and comes back strongly! Matt, Ramsay is not a nice guy.

Nagamzor 33 Share Posted November 10, 2015 On 10/23/2015 2:44:24, Garbad said: So let's talk rome total war: divide et impera. I'm currently playing a H/VH rome runthru as Julli. Rome is the only true faction because its auxillia system are far better than anyone else, plus legionaries are pretty much stronker. Terms of the deal are 6 legions, max with 1 fleet in support. All agents and other fleets/legions are just used to tone down imperium and make money. I've figured out the optimum layout for all 2/3/4 region setups. Marturia is my economic stronkhold; it produces like 30k profit a turn. Everywhere else just makes food, faster research, and enough taxes to support themselves. All excess resources are funneled into fud so I can make my regional troop production centers as pimp as possible. My first 3 starter legions are rome/greek hybrids. Using italy (specialized in heavy infantry and engineers) and magna grecia (specialized in cav/archer), I supply 3x legions with: 5x thes cav, 1x cata, 1x general, 6x legionary, 5x vet legion, 2x cretian archer. This is effectively invincible, fast to replace, and can trump literally anyone. Everything else is flavor. I usually send them into battle one core legion and one assist legion for support. Other centers are: Thrace - First off, dacian horses are overrated. They are fast, but meh quality. But everything else owns. Rhompers smash fuckers. With like 59 attack, 70 charge, and 40 weapon damage, they insta rout people on flanks. They have zero armor, but that's cool because the legions can tank for them all day long. Horse archers are nasty too -- 42 shots per fucking minute at 30 damage a shot -- I usually thin the field and get some horses behidn people and just plain murder them in the back. Why bother with alexandrian tactics when you can volley people in seconds? They do die easily tho. The thracian petlasts are also not to be underestimated -- very high damage, good rof, good range, and in melee they are average quality spearmen, capable of defending themselves against cav or holding a key point. Again, like all thracians, they die easily. But with romans fixing and thracians flanking, its just plain murder. They even have the 3rd highest swordsman style infantry, in case you want filler on the cheap. Thrace is not so stronk alone, but murder in tandem with a legion. Gaul - Poor quality archers, fun war dogs, mediocreish heavy infantry...but quite stronk medium cavs. The best thing here is they are fast and hit hard, better for clearing out archers and one big hit from behind. They have no staying power. Mostly meat for when I need men to die. Germany - Germany has the 2nd best heavy infantry (good dmg, but less def than rome), the best archers in the game, high defense heavy cavs, and acceptable support. They are the best rounded force, suitable for working alone. Working with an imperial legion, they are best to fill what rome can't (archers/skirmishers/horse). Iberia - Play poorly against rome/greece/germanic heavy infantry, but do very well against the skirmisher shitters of africa and the desert. Baelaric slingers are deadly on flanks and have infinite ammo, iberian cav is almost as good as gaulic and has javcav variants (too risky, imo), and medium infantry with high offense. Good for high speed attacks and range, which you want down south. Persia - godlike shock cav, good archers, and nothing else. Shock cav are a bit too slow for my taste tho. Africa is shitters, greece is inferior, brits are inferior, and I don't yet control the middle east. They are inferior anyhow. Pretty much thrace = germany > gaul/iberia/persia > shitters.
