Lionheart, concerning my tip about archers on your last campaign video and your request in the video on the location for recruiting archers I did some research. You can recruit basic archers the Apulia and Campania province: Greek Archers at Campania so the province were you just conquered Capua. Further you can recruit Ipagyan Archers at the Apulia province in the south East. However, when you prefer the best. You should conquer Sardinia, The Balaria province in the North provides you with Sardi bowmen who are buffed with some minor stats and have additional traits/skills as snipe, guerrilla deployment, resistence to fatigue and stalk. Goodluck and keep on the good work!

''Daphne and Apollo: one loves, one runs'' One of the most impressive literary works in the Latin language is the Metamorphoses, a work about -- you guessed it -- metamorphoses. The Roman poet Ovidius, often shortened to Ovid, wrote this long poem as a kind of guide to Graeco-Roman mythology. Many a myth, from the creation of the Lands to the apotheosis of Rome's king, Romulus, came by in this sizeable piece. Today, I will talk about the tragic tale of Daphne and Apollo. Whereas most of us will have heard of Apollo, the sun-god, god of music and god of the lyre, almost no-one seems to know Daphne. With good reason, mind you. Daphne was no major mythological figure: she was a river-nymph. One sunny day, Apollo was having an argument with a certain Roman god. It was a little fellow, pretty fat for his size, but he had a vaguely familiar feeling: as if everybody knew him, although he did not always speak to everyone the same way. His name was Cupido, the son of Venus, the personification of earthly Love. I like to stress the ''earthly'' part since ''sexual'' love is often represented by the Roman goddess Venus, whose Greek counterpart is Afrodite. So, Apollo argued that he was the greatest bowman of all, for hé killed this giant snake-monster, the Python. Cupid responded, according to Ovid: ''Your bow hits everything, Apollo; but my bow shall hit you!'' With that, Cupid flew away and sat down on a mountaintop. From there, he took two arrows. One was beautiful and ''created love'', whereas the other was made from lead and ''made one flee'', flee from love itself. Cupid would indeed fire his bow and fire his arrows and fire without forgiveness. The arrow that created love hit Apollo, the sun-god. The arrow that made one refrain from love hit the lovely nymph Daphne. Apollo, having seen Daphne now, was mad for her, desired her in every possible way and would have no-one but her. Daphne, having seen Apollo coming towards her desirously, ran and flew and speeded off. Apollo, however, gave chase. And so the loved ran and the lover chased for a time. Every time Apollo would shout stuff like: ''Slowly, Daphne, slowly! Do not trouble yourself or let yourself be hurt by thorns in this wood!'' Daphne, on the other hand, had only one choice, dictated by Cupid's arrow: run. Eventually, Daphne could no longer sustain herself; her feet were exhausted and her heart aced for rest and water. Daphne's father was a river god, a minor but powerful one. Daphne cried out: ''Father, give me perpetual virginity!'' I paraphrase: ''Do not give me to any man, like the goddess Diana received the gift of never marrying from Jupiter!'' And so, father obliged. He used his own power to grant Daphne's wish: but he warned: ''It shall, however, not be as you hope.'' Still, Daphne persisted. And so, eventually, Daphne's legs began to harden, her fingers began to run out, her neck became stiff. Daphne was undergoing a metamorphosis. She would not be Apollo's in wedding, but she would not live peacefully either. Daphne transformed into a laurel-tree. Apollo, struck by grieve, hugged the lifeless tree endlessly. Apollo would not give up his love, he did not marry and he made the laurel-tree and her child, the laurel, his sacred tree and item. It is for this reason that sportsmen around the world are to this day, upon victory, crowned with a laurel, for Apollo, god of the Olympian and Pythian games, decreed the laurel to be his, his until the end, his one and only love, Daphne. Til next time! [Who can spot the chiasmus' structure in the text and title?]

[@rehanfernando1027]

why aren't u using ur general unit more? they are ur best unit. U probably don't use them cause u think they might die but that barely happens as long u have more than 25% of the unit.

[@Menemey]

[@dadolj99]

@@Menemey yeah i knoe sbout space bar but i can see just my archers range not enemy archers range.

[@Menemey]

oh my bad mate, i was sure it showed all the range indicators. I haven't played in a while i might be mistaken. are you using battle realism mode? perhaps that interferes with it?

[@dignityrevolution]

[@ToBeLovedBeLoveble]

and all that gold* lost on Histonium on upgrades. and no one cares. Edit. my...screaming why you moving your army forward when they went in ! where are you looking! pfff. that's what you get for not paying attention.

[@lionheartx10]

As you can tell I'm hardly 100% when I recorded this so I'm not able to focus as much as I normally would, plus often what viewers forget is that when you're recording and commentating you often miss things that you, the viewer can see. Hindsight is a wonderful thing for a viewer, not that useful for a commentator that's already recorded lol.

[@ToBeLovedBeLoveble]

True. Okay I forgive you :P lol . Get well soon and take care of your health! You hear me? I got a cold last year in October and still cough today. I think i got cursed..

[@lionheartx10]

Alexandru Bud thank you! ;) hope your cough goes soon too!
