Hey! Where's my land? I asked for E5 at last, two or three pages ago. Can I have it. It's a nice piece of land with mountains to the North-West and a different sea on the North and the South coasts. I'd like my people to be involved in ore-mining and alchemy. I would have some Dwarves in the mountains, some Elves too but they're very elusive, and some orcs causing constant trouble just outside a large wooden area. A Dragon has been known to dwell in the mountains, but maybe it's just a legend...
@WoT: got my PM??
About cannons, I agree they should be very rare. Or maybe no movable units, just heavy ones to protect ships and castles. Yet, I think catapults and balistas are easy to make, providing there's enough wood and time, so there should be a lot more than cannons.
I can't see why the Romans would not join when the Egyptians do. After all, the Egyptian Civilisation collapsed before the Roman, so what? They use the same kind of weapons after all.
