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?

Well Pyrrhus of Epirus was killed by an old woman with a roof tile

Fairly accurate

they wouldn't just chuck rocks though

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 user

Pretty accurate if you had an ancient socialist economy like in the game.

>Zeus
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.

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?

No, it's a stadium, two guys are wrestling

It's gladiators fighting animals at the stadium

No
Have you even played the game? You can't train gladiators. The three cultural branches are philosophy, drama and athletes. If you build a stadium, you can be eligible to host the Olympics, and that is what is happening there

They are Greek athletes.

That's definitely a circus.
Oh wait, you guys don't even know what a circus is and immediately associates the word with Ringling Brothers and clowns, right?

I associate it with circus maximus and bread and circuses

Game refers to it as Stadium you fucking retard.

this.

i have all the others on disc and on GOG versions, but i just want to build my comfy chinese cities.

>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.

Back and forth, back and forth, I'm beginning to feel like Sisyphus!

>buying games

pirates be mad

I learned from this game that hemp is the most important crop in Ancient China.

You have to buy the retooled versions from GOG to play the games reliably on anything past Windows XP

Worthless clod! I'll tear you apart limb from limb!

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?

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?

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
