[kierun]

Already planning on it.

These Romans are crazy! *Taps head*

Awesome.

Need a hand?

Hum... a CKesque image of a bald, black bearded Lusitan, would fit me great I support of this thread!

You could theoretically mod Rome: Total War to have the village of indomitable Gauls. You'd probably want to make a map of just Gaul in order to make the province containing the village as small as possible. One-man units could represent the major characters (with Vitalstatistix and his shield bearers being just about the only exception), and they could all be given extremely high stats and mass, so they end up pushing the Romans back a lot. A powerful charge, for example by an elephant, is capable of sending men flying in RTW already, so that could be included.

I think it'd be fun

That would be awesomely fun, atleast to me!

More French nationalist propaganda grabbing a delusional victory from the jaws of overwhelming defeat! I for one will be playing the romans to crush such ludicrous claims!

Veni, Vedi, Vici!

You can try some "celtic hairstyle" like this vaccean raider:

Hey can we get some basic rome avatars? - just a few for now - like the roman flag

Uh -- what exactly was the "Roman flag"? This was before the era of the nation-state, mind you.

They'd have to have a ton load of hitpoints though, otherwise they'd just be felled instantly.

The legionary banner?

Would be fun to Obelix storming into an army of Romans and win!

How about a golden sickle?[/IMG]

Throw in a golden hammer and I'll agree...

Personally though I just want a CK avatar. Well not so much since I hit 3,000 posts but it would still be nice.

 

[Tangent]

The legionary banner?

Which legionary banner? There were many.

Honestly, there is no fixed symbol for the Roman state. There are objects that we associate with Rome, such as the imperial eagle and the fasces and the SPQR text, but no actual official flag or banner.

 

[jelay14]

The legionary banner?

Legionary banners aren't state flags. For instance - what if the legion in question is fighting against forces of the Roman Senate? Or another legion?

And as Tangent said, there were as many legionary banners as there were legions - the legionary banner, and the standard to which it was affixed, was what marked one legion from another.
