I'd be honored (though I'd be more honored if I got any playtesting comments) and yes, I knew that...I had a DL here called Moroteuthis, which is a different squid genus.

They're coming, GS. I think it's very good so far.

Check your private messages, GS.

Alexander The Younger has been released! It can be found at www.geocities.com/giantsquid1_1999/SquidGames/Alexii.zip (note that you have to actually type this in...Geocities doesn't like you linking directly to files). Thanks to Tecumseh for playtesting, even if I was too lazy to take most of his advice.

Great work, GS... one of the gmost beautifull alternative histories even told!!!

A pretty hint for you... Around in that era, chinese states still used leather stirrups, so they can not use such big shields and armoured horses for cavalry. And Yamato warriors were a bit different from samurai - more similar to chinese warriors, with large blade helberds.

Apart from that, light green!!! Good job, really!

Too bad to learn about Geocities policies... i really wanted to put a link to your scen on my site...

Yamato? Explain. All the research I did into Japan for that said that nothing of any interest was actually happening there. If you have some information on an actual Japanese culture at that time, please email it to me or something so that I can correct it if I ever make another version. Thanks for the kind words.

I'm working on a "Seiwa Genji" scenario, so as i usually do i started with reading books on books about japanese history... around this period, II-I century BC, the Yayoi culture evolved into the Kofun culture ( Kofun means Kurgan, russian word for "hill-grave" ), showing eastern asian nomadic tribes' influences. These nomadic tribes settled in Kyushu, Shikoku and southern Honshu islands, creating hundreds and hundreds of small chiefdoms on uji-"clan" basis, such as Izumo, Ise and, of course, Yamato. Japanese emperors are direct descendents of Yamato rulers, that unified Japan in IV century AC.

GSquid,

My understanding of Alexander's Reign is that he never conquered the Spartans. Anything useful that you could do with this tidbit?
