Lol, yea it is a copy-paste.  I'm sure at some point I'll type some sort of RP history for us, just wanted something in there for now.  Thanks for all the well-wishes, and we're actually break-offs from the Kingdom of Jerusalem.  No hard feelings there either.

I actually did try a build similar to this earlier today, just without the 1h.  Bring two javelins, throw one, then use the other as a spear with the board.  Didn't do horrible, and I think with a week or so I could get pretty good with it.

Thats an option too, i guess around 100 wpf in polearm? The stab on the lance(javs have nice stab but theyre terribly shit on the sideswings, afaik correct me if im wrong! i like the lances for their decent side/overgead attacks, to fend off shield breakers. :D) should be quite fast. :)
And ofcourse its major fun throwing those nukes around.  8-)

80 polearm, 122 throwing.  80 seems to be enough.  The stab on the lance is killer too.

As long as you're an NA player, click on the "Joining Imperium Romanum" spoiler and follow the instructions :D

If you don't meet all the requirements, message me anyway telling me what you don't meet. 

Also, you can join the TS and maybe someone will be in there.

Must be said: Vae Victus is what the GAULIC chieftan Brennus said to the Romans whilst messing their shit up.

From wikipedia:
(in order to get their city back from the invaders) "...The Romans agreed to pay one thousand pounds weight of gold. According to Livy, during a dispute over the weights used to measure the gold (the Gauls had brought their own, heavier-than-standard) Brennus threw his sword onto the scales and uttered the famous words "Vae victis!", which translates to "Woe to the vanquished!".

...Basically the first "Deal with it" in known history.

Just reppin' my barbarian bros idols of old.

Good luck with the clan though! Yours will be a charming shield-wall. If only Warband's engine would let you do this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Testudo_formation

Imo on your 21/15 build, I'd take 5 shield skill instead of three. 2 if is pretty pointless and the extra 2 shield skill will improve the speed of your shield especially if you're using a board shield which is already slow.

then you would need to sacrifice either the only 2 IF you have, leaving you even more vurlnerable(allright you have a big ass shield but its still nice to take that extra hit) or you would have to sacrifice ath, which I advice against doing so ;), cause if you'd sec your wm you'd have a lack of wpf to accomodate both melee and throwing together. 3 shield board shield is actually pretty durable, i played it as 30/9 heavy hoplite(sultan erens build) and its durable and it destroys with ashwood and war spear.

I tend to agree.  I have found that when you use the lances, the sword and shield actually become more of a "secondary weapon."  And if timed correctly, the board shield isn't that slow.  I do plan to try the 5 shield tho in a STF at some point.

Welcome to our newest recruit, by the way, MrTea!

This sounds awesome.  Really looking forward to strat battles with this theme - see red roman helmets used for once.  Kind of sad that the only bows that match this theme are the bottom 2 bows as they had weak archery, though you could argue their eastern mercenaries near the end of the western roman empire had nomad/horn bows.  Lots of stones could act as the slingers.  Plenty of javelins/throwing spears and some of the really short stabbing 1-handers with heavy board shields.  Just make sure to recruit a lot of strength thrower/shielders and you can pummel your opponents roman style.  Good luck to you guys.

Thanks man.  The Romans did have horn bows for at least part of their era, as well as having composite bows with one limb shorter than the other (similar to the Yumi)

UPDATE

We are in the process of transferring Ismirala from the Frisians to us, and we have joined TAMDA.

I know it'll be daunting, but once you feel secure, don't be afraid to FIGHT in strat!

You don't get swag points for trading, you know! Really, I just want to see an army that uses throwing weapons heavily. There are wardarts in ismirala for throwing on a budget, too!

I plan to.

UPDATE:

I have decided to wave the requirement to be past the first generation if you are a shielder!  We desperately need more of you guys to make ourselves more effective on the battlefield.  So everyone help me out and tell any decent shielder you see that Imperium Romanum is recruiting!  :D

I believe that the wardarts even fit the Roman Plumbata from the later end of Rome too! (though plumbata are thrown underhand I'm pretty sure...)

As a side note: how do you manage upkeep while having those two throwing lances?

Actually stay fairly even. I may have lost 3-4k from repairs total after around 5 levels (25-30). We do, however, get quite lucky and often roll x5's.

A little late but:

I completely agree with this as having 5 shield skill boosts your shield damage bonus by 16%, lets you pick up better shields if yours breaks, and makes you faster with your shield. The 2 IF on the other hand only gives you 4 health (something you basically don't even notice).

I've used a STF to test out both.  Right now on my main I have 5 shield and 0 IF.  The issue with the board isn't the damage, it's the speed.  The 5 shield helps some with that, but not a whole lot.  The IF does enable you to perhaps take another hit.  It's basically personal preferance, though I think most would choose the faster shield.
