Graphics files for Stefan Härtel's Alexander the Great scenario

[Stefan Härtel]

I'm not too sure about whether it was reintroduced in India. I'm sure Arrian mentions something about this, but I haven't read his work entirely. What I know for sure is that the sarissas were dropped in Central Asia, because they were too much of an obstacle in mountain warfare.
When the Macedonians returned to more familiar terrain, they probably reintroduced the sarissa.

That would certainly make sense. I'll dig out my copy of Arrian for a little bed-time reading, I think!

Weaponry details aside, it certainly is a major aesthetic improvement for the scenario!

[Varwnos]

It looks very nice although a bit too tot-like? (or is it just me? possibly)

Gagliaudo: its Paligennesis, two 'symphona' dont go together when they are in different words synthesising into one. It is also Paligennesia

hm, a question to Stefan (i am sure he will know, with all those persian scenarios!)

Which persian king ordered his servant to remind him everyday of the Athenians? I thought it was Cyros (Cyrus) but i am not sure. The original phrase (in greek at least) was "Memnesthai tois Athenaiois" ("Remember the Athenians"). I once wrote a short story using that situation as a symbol for phychological things

That's a truth

It was Dareios I. According to Herodotos, he ordered this because the Athenians supported the Milesians in the Ionian Revolt.

All: I noticed that there's a spelling error in the events.txt (it's not vital, but annoying). Rename "Baktra" into "Bactra".

@varwnos:
hey, Hellen, right, but what do you think about PALIGGENESIS... ??? May it go ?
Stefan will answer better, i try: Dareios I.
If this isn't right one, Xerses I.
D or X, I'm sure.

Bye all you!

[Stefan Härtel]

Beat ya to it

[Varwnos]

It cannot be Paliggenesis either, a double Gamma makes a "g" sound, as in "garden".
But i am sure that your greek are far better than my infinitesimal latin
Ego certe lavoro hic et lavoro in meipso!

[Gagliaudo]

@varwnos:
I don't think so, I've really difficult with greek, hope my former prof won't know my degeneration
I really thought double gamma had the sound of 'ng', in ancient greek. But, repeating, YOU are the HELLEN...
I'm just a poor "Hesperian" guy...

@stefan:
I wrote anything I hadn't to write ?
I apologize, the question was for you...

[Varwnos]

I cannot say for sure if in ancient greek double gamma had an ng sound, since we didnt learn a lot of ancient greek, only in two years in late highschool, and at the time i didnt play much attention, but it sounds strange (who knows though)

Anyway i was wrong about the rule of the two symphona, for example Pangaia (Pangea) has n + g. But Palingennesia just doesn't sound right (perhaps a cypriot would call it that though, they are in the habbit of filling everything with n's)

Aren't you Italian? i prefer to think that greeks and italians aren't that different, una facia una racia? (certainly i misspelled that) Besides, what brings people together isn't race, but character, and interests

fairline: Sorry for not noticing this before, but the Advanced Phalanx units should have a sword instead of a sarissa (lance). I included that unit mainly because of the reformation of the Phalanges during the Central Asian campaign, and the most important aspect was the removal of the sarissa.

Here's a new zip with the advanced phalanx unit minus the sarissa and a thracian peltast as the Mak mercenary unit:

Stefan, I was trying to DL 'Artaxerxes' from your site (another of my favourites lost in the pc blow-up) and the link is dead. Is the version at the Spanish site the latest one?

EDIT: typo

[curtsibling]

Everyone should own this masterwork!

[fairline]

EDIT : pressed the wrong bleeding button. Doh!

[Stefan Härtel]

Yes, the version on the Spanish site is the latest one. I'd love to see it with new great graphics
