I can help with the stats, but it might take until this weekend. The units are going to need some era tweeking, as well.

Support Apolyton, buy GURPS/ Alpha Centauri

Off the top of my head, here's some basics on what factions have what:
Byzantium is rich and technolgically advanced, and has a small standing army of elite soldiers. Their Cataphracts are medium-armour cavalry and are excellent. The fortifications at Constantinople (modern-day Instantbul) are the best in the world.
The Ostrogoths and Visigoths are famous for their hordes of light cavalry. Lots of troops, little to no fortifications.
The Huns are at this point no longer a nomadic people, they've got a lot of subject peoples who won't be on horseback. Still, their cavalry archers are excellent.
The Britons were later famous for their archery, but I don't know if they've gotten that down yet.
Persia is fairly rich, with a standing army heavily devoted to cavalry and chariots. They are still using war elephants at this time.
The North African Tribes are nomadic raiders, riding camels almost as much as horses.
That's all I know off the top of my head.
One distinct change I want to make from the Hellenistic NES is archers. There were no archers at all in that.

You know how to use an ftp client, right?

I can give you access to some webspace for uploading the stuff, and then you can just link to it directly.

Yay for danicing stuff! Anyway, I was wondering if the map might be able to include names of countries? I can figure out Persia, Byzantium, and some of the others, but most of the little stuff is beyond me. Maybe we could have at least a few cities, too.

What about local place names, though? I don't think we want to run this of latitude and longitude. How will I tell you where to move my armies to?

You'll have to take that up with Nuclear Master. I expect descriptive geographical and place names will work, e.g. "Extreme Eastern Lugdunensis IV" or "Around modern day Bruges". If I find an ancient map with more names, I'll link/post it.

Many thanks pave.

Should we try to mark major geographical features on the map? I think mountain ranges might be good to list.

Mountain ranges would be good, but it may be too complicated.

yeah. Mountain ranges haven't changed in the last 1500 years. No need to be on this map. Anyway, still working on the units, collecting information on nations at the same time. Once that is done the stats should go quickly. Look for the stats on Sunday.

That's the figure I saw talked about earlier. That's an ok timeframe by me, I can usually do more but there are times I'm really busy. Maybe twice a week? It's mostly the mod's stress level I'm worrying about.

Once a week is fine for me. I can agree with Tass's proposal, too. I'm just worried if somebody (like me) is busy at the time or "forgets" NESsing, how long we're going to wait for orders?

EDIT: I see ciders already asked it. I should really learn to type faster.

You can either have in-depth, interesting, meaningful updates that occur once a week, or boring basic updates every three-four days.
