Eh... 'The spear of Achilles'?
Not really Roman.

[Org]

Well...Roman Mythology is basically Greek mythology with different names.
And think about it: Some aspects are the same, such as Heracles, the gods(with different names), etc etc.

[woose1]

Yes, I suppose so. We could do that, or have some sort of god involvement from their respective favors. Some things could be used to gain favor of gods, then you get a bonus from said god (Aka; Killing 5 emperors in a row without losing one of yours gets you a bonus from Mars)

[Org]

Like +2 Strength?

[woose1]

Yeah, although killing 5 emperors in a row is a tough thing to do, so maybe a little higher than that.

[Org]

Hm...

What does Inaluct think of using some greek stuff?
And woose's idea?

[inaluct]

The idea about god favor sounds good.

If we use Greek stuff, let's use Romanized names, and try to limit it anyway.

[woose1]

Aight, let me look up 'Roman Heroes'.
EDIT: Here's a few:
Dido's crown=+1 to stamina/power
Hercules's sword=+3 to strength
Horatii's Spears=+2 to speed/+1 to stength

[Org]

On thing then.
The Gladius needs to be +1 to strength.
And it should be a club for Heracles.
He almost never uses a sword, If I remember correctly.

And how about the Armour of Ajax?
It was supposedly "amazing".

[Wiles]

I think it would add some flavour to have some non-romans (but only people who were closely involved with the romans). Perhaps make them like an event kind of card - For example you could have a Cleopatra card that seduces one of your opponent's emperors to your side.

[Servant Corps]

Yes, I forgot Zoroastrianism, but that was a religion based in Persia, and thus, not part of a Roman Empire. Sorry for that.

Also:


I'll go back and revise Mehmed II. My drawing came out (a little) better than I expected.

[inaluct]

The god card is a .jpg with artifact, overpowered, and not very interesting. I think that we should have something like what woose proposed, where a certain accomplishment gets you a bonus, instead of having god cards.

Also, no Cleopatra. No fat chicks.

[Servant Corps]

Okay. Gotcha.

EDIT: Altough I don't know what sort of bonuses "God" and "Imperial Cult" can give out. And I don't want people to memorize what bonuses each 'god' would give out, hence why I thought god cards, but meh.

[woose1]

It would be simple; we would have some basic bread-and-butter gods, like Mars; god of war and strife (Strength), Venus; god of fertility and well-being (Stanima), Jupiter; The suprem-o god (Power), and Minerva,; god of wisdom (Speed).

EDIT: Here's some Roman heroes for you guys to look at:

I disagree.
Mercury should be speed.
