All--thank you for your comments. Of intrest, you might want to watch a show on the National Geographic channel sunday night, called "Hannibal". It looks very good, high production value documentary of his march over the alps and invasion of Italy. The show's website is where I lifted the picture of Hannibal at the desk from, theres a few more as well.
Katapraktoi--Thanks! Yes, I'm playing as Rome, but sometimes I do have to switch around to get a good screenshot due to fog of war and such. Im trying to showcase Molleby's mod with this AAR. Don't worry, my loyalties lie with the Republic
Stynlan-- Historically Hannibal's army wasnt that large at this point in the story, but who minds a little dramatic flare? I believe he's given that many troops at the start of the RU scenario because of all the attrition he gains marching through the alps to italy. I enjoyed the music, myself.
Semi-Lobster, Machieavellian, and Katapraktoi-- I can't say for sure since I didn't do the mod, but there was a discussion about it in the RU thread. They either represent ballistae and other torision siege weapons, or elephants. Molleby could answer better.
Coz1 and Mett--Its hard finding good sources on Hannibal as a man. You can be sure I'll be portraying him more, how can you have a story that co-stars one of history's greatest commanders and not?
The only facts I have on him from the sources are his commanding presence, the lions, his vow against Rome, and his name means "beloved of Baal". And, you'll see what happens to him at Saguntum...
if any of you know the history of it, don't spoil it for anyone else.
