    Glad to hear all the excitement! I can't wait for you to try it out!

    It has been very difficult to get this in, both with technical difficulties and with getting it prioritized, and the setbacks have been pretty frustrating for our team. Adding player armor and adding to the Greek aesthetic are both pretty close to my heart, personally. Anyway, the breastplate looks good and works well in the test environment, and everything looks smooth for release at the end of this month. We're so close now!

    And hoplite greaves are totally in the backlog... Don't know when they'll make it in, though.
     
  8. Hmmmm might have to head back soon :)

    -Bemo-
     
  9. hmm just a harness will at least take a good portion of the attacks in greece as chest seems to be hit most out of all

    Any info on if armor plates will work on it?
     
  10. Sweet, I can run around shouting "this is sparta" :)
     
  11. ...Sweet, I can run around shouting "this is sparta"
    Sparta was a city-state of Greece, and was the principal enemy in the Peloponnesian war.... would be like calling someone in Oklahoma a Texan... yes its close but not quite..
    ...Oh ya know...yada,yada... in my new Trojan breastplate....
    ok.... now Florida is Texas too....but may be saved since this is time travel... what era does this model represent? has Nero burnt Rome yet?
    ...Hoplite greaves are totally in the backlog..
    Wow! a greek item! sounds good..... a "Hoplon" is the name of the type of shield that this particular Phalanx would have never been without, and is what hoplite was derived from... <homer simpson> mmm Shield's alllllghhhaaahggmunchmunch....

    still waiting for a viable Greece.... I have yet to go, and will hold off until its finished properly

    hehe, i love this webite, only 3 people use it / day, but i get a good chuckle out of many of the posts 8)
     
  12. Keep up the cool unique items. They will make NI a step above the other planets in class. :)

    Sweet! I wonder if you all could contract in Hans Zimmer (composer of Gladiator movie sound track) to--you know--generate some thematic battle music when approaching/fighting Greek monsters?

    Maximus: "At my signal, unleash hell."

    edit: yes, yes I know. Gladiator is set during Roman times. Still I think the music is awesome.
