Posting to watch and ocasionally suggest something.

I however feel the title is alittile bit odd..
This may be the real world version of a barbarian, but still.. did they even have peasants?  ???
I guess I should do some research on this?

In antiquity, Barbarians were mostly everybody save the Romans and Greek (Except if you asked the Greek, who though even the Roman were barbarians). Which doesn't mean 4/5th of the world was busy fighting in a fur thong.

I guess it depends on what your definition of peasant is. It's a lot less complex than "You are a Scytho-Sarmatian Steppe Semi-Nomadic Tribesman".


PS. I'll have to decide the rest tomorrow. I'm thinking of some kind of super interactive commanding battle mini-game type thing for down the road.

You belt out a truly rousing speech:

Quote from: Sheb on July 12, 2011, 08:07:17 am
"He's not a Roman. He's just an unlucky warrior that was taken from his friends and family and sent to guard the Empire's borders by Roman scum. His place is not at our feet waiting for a worthless death, but at our side, armed and fighting the Roman that he so despise.

The Romans' armies are the strongest, the best equipped and the largest in this world and the next. Even if we spent the rest of our life hacking and stabbing, we couldn't kill them all. Only by causing their armies to crumble, their legionaries to desert and their auxiliaries to revolt can we hope to kill the Roman Beast.

My loyalty lies with you my Lord, and your orders are my Law. But I think your interests are better served by letting this man live and fight for you than by killing him. However, I am a mere peasant, and if you still wish this man to die despite my advice, I shall happily kill him for your Lordship."

You think you see a tear roll down the Saitae's cheek. He reaches his hand out to the groveling prisoner and pulls him up. He replies:

"You may secure the prisoners' freedom only if you survive the upcoming assault. I trust you will lead them to glory or death..."

+30 prisoners to your party.

Yeah, nothing else to do.

"Thank you my lord, I shall not deceive you."

Assemble the prisoners somewhere and ask them who speak Scythian. Try to break them into 3 groups of different ethnicities, while making sure each group got leaders that can understand you and communicate (maybe with subleaders) with all of his men.

Also check what equipment is available.

And what will we pay with? We're a peasant, and armor is really expensive.

(...another interesting game!)

Maybe we could get some leather armor, something cheap but better than nothing.
If we are successful we'll loot some roman armor.

This is part of why the Romans were so successsful. They equipped their soldiers after the Marian reforms. Almost every other nations' soldiers had to find equipment themselves.

I'd hate to say it, but there is always the option of selling some of the prisoners into slavery.
