battle, but not snowy

snowy battle

a tiny greek army attacks my infinitely superior force of macedonians. to be fair, macedonians were no more than barbarians: a thracian people who had a knack for beeing able to kill a lot of people really fast. unlike those that the romans called barbarians, who were civil in their own way and had a highly developed honor system. they were simply called barbarians because they lack the roman luxury and unity. the romans, however, were less united than we like to think. beside numerous civil wars, the empire was split and divided several times in its later years. in its final form, the holy roman empire, the rulers and populants were not romans, but those that the romans had decreed to be barbarians centuries earlier: the germans. those that the romans never conquered inherited it all. the full name of the holy roman empire is: Heiliges Römisches Reich deutscher Nation. the new "empire" wasn't really an empire; hundreds of mostly independent city-states, principalities and baronies still existed in the empire as a legacy of the loosely-united germanic tribes of earlier years. it was still rather barbarian. by the way, the etymology of the word "barbarian": in its heyday of around 450 BC, greece was a great center of commerce. traders came from all over europe and the middle east to exchange their wares. whenever the greeks heard non-greeks speaking in their native tongue, it seemed to the greeks that they simply went: var var var var. they began to call one who did not speak greek a "varvaros" (βάρβαρος). the romans took this and, being who they were, changed the "β"s to "b"s and the "ο" to a "u", hence: barbarus. this was used for anyone outside the roman sphere of influence.

anyway, the greeks shouldn't have attacked my big macedonian army.

could have been better, but i really lost most of those guys from like two units. don't rely completely on gallic swordsmen!

burn, rome!

if you can say "burn, rome" in latin, email me at ificouldwalkthatwayster@gmail.com . it"s probably like "roma igneo" or something. that's a total guess.

a few thousand dead ptolemaic egyptians. i don't care... *sniff sniff* whyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!

tons of death. by the way: the greek word for death is thanatos. this was a battle i had where my army consisted of seven units of hypaspistai against several allied armies with a diverse mix of light, medium, and heavy infantry. no cavalry and no ranged units.
