In this game when your city is invaded you can just call commoners to arms and they throw rocks at the enemy how historically accurate it is?
100%

Well Pyrrhus of Epirus was killed by an old woman with a roof tile
>>1390570
Fairly accurate
they wouldn't just chuck rocks though
>>1390570
They were the psiloi (this englobed all throwers, bowmen, javelinmen etc), and it was actually a thing. Only the poorest would go with only rocks tough.
>that game
I was not ready for those feels Anon
Pretty accurate if you had an ancient socialist economy like in the game.

Based. All those Sierra games were based as fuck.
My fav was Caesar 3.
Forever bitter that you can buy all of Sierra's city building games on GOG but this one.
>>1390570
a hurled rock is pretty deadly bro,

That is how the British were expulsed when they invaded Buenos Aires twice in 1806-1807
Local militia made of neighbours + neighbours shooting, throwing bricks, stones, boiling water and boling oil from rooftops.

It was also very common during the Napoleonic occupation of Spain.

To my understanding that gave the Roman legionnaires no end of trouble when they finally did manage to break into Carthage in the 3rd Punic war

Are Christians being eaten by lions at the...Circus?
>>1393159
No, it's a stadium, two guys are wrestling
>>1393159
It's gladiators fighting animals at the stadium
>>1393172
They are Greek athletes.
>>1393187
I associate it with circus maximus and bread and circuses
>>1393187
Game refers to it as Stadium you fucking retard.
>>1391462
this.
i have all the others on disc and on GOG versions, but i just want to build my comfy chinese cities.
>>1393187
>That's definitely a circus
R-r-r-retard alert
Have you ever seen such solid buildings? Archimedes would be proud!

The vendor is a such a doric.
>>1393246
Back and forth, back and forth, I'm beginning to feel like Sisyphus!

>buying games
>>1391592
pirates be mad

You have to buy the retooled versions from GOG to play the games reliably on anything past Windows XP
>>1393259
Worthless clod! I'll tear you apart limb from limb!
>>1393378
I like Dionysus's good side better. The satyr delivery is boss
Has anybody seen my spear? How can I be a spear carrier without my spear?
>>1393220
Oh hey I still have the disc for that game. Don't know if it'll work on this computer I have though. The only part I didn't like about this game was the military aspect.
Is it just me,or did the peddler sound Jewish?
>>1393391
Military is always stupid in sierra games, I always thought emperor did a pretty good job of it relative to the others
>Sierra never did a Mesopotamian or Arabic city-builder
Fug.
Pretty accurate. IIRC French peasants would go on roofs and throw things such as rocks and tiles at English chevauchées in the HYW. This was common practice from peasants in many wars and conflicts.
What happened to the new city builder game?
I think it has been years since I last heard of it, must have been canned
