How do the Legions look from behind? Support Apolyton buy from Amazon

From what I've been able to see I miss the neckprotecting scale panzer shown in the attached image.
Am I wrong? Have you seen it in other pics?

something like that. I'm quite sure that it isn’t in as this is something quite newly discovered . I just tried to get all those whining about historically accuracy feel what they are doing. (This makes nothing for the gameplay)

WAIT A SECOND!@!!!@

Did Roman Legions even use scale armor (probably at some point, but we never really see them portrayed with it)? Why are you showing us a pic of what is obviously a medieval soldier for comparison with a Legionnaire?

Roman auxiliaries (such as cavalry) do wear scale armour. But if you are looking for authentic, Firaxis' representation isn't it.

LOL @ Gramphos

First time i saw this, i suspected it was a satire, but didnt really understand what it was a satire of. Then i went to the Civ3-Civilizations forum, where they are talking about a bowmen not holding the bow accurately
Crazy people, i tells you

That is because that is newly discovered. And it's indeed a Legionnaire (compare the shield with the one of the units in Civ3)

Just look at The Smilies Page for different smilies to use.

Use the text behind the message, and add it like this:

And while were off-topic, your avatar doesnt look like a lion!!

Thanks skanky. There's some cool smilies at that site.

I know that the elephant doesn't look much like a lion (and it's not fluffy either) but there aren't any lions in the avatar section and I like elphants



I just love these smilies

No, that honor would probably go to the Finally! thread. Six pages of spam, resulting in one person getting a 1-week ban and 100% PCR, with more to come.
