Hi,

I can offer advice regarding historical accuracy. I am a finishing year Archaeology PhD student at the University of Cambridge (UK), specialising on the European Iron Age, meaning 800BC to 100AD. I am currently also doing part of the teaching related to it at the university. Hence I can provide very precise details about settlements (how the buildings should look like) but especially about equipment (particularly the warrior one). Furthermore I can provide details about the military tactics used by some populations. I have advanced knowledge about Dacians, Celts, Scordiski, Thracians, Moesi, Tribali. I am also quite knowledgeable regarding the Helenic area, Romans, partly Germans, Bretons and much more (mostly everything around in the Iron Age). Finally, I have a very good knowledge of the events of the Iron Age, which can be used in the implementation of the different campaigns/scenarios of the game.
I would like to help since I am a fan of RTS games, especially those set in the Iron Age and Antiquity. I have also some knowledge of programming (since I did some programming before going for Archaeology), but I doubt that I could be of any help in this respect.
Unfortunately time is a bit of an issue for me as I am quite swamped with my work. However, I am willing to get involved as much as I can (a couple of hours per week should be manageable).
Let me know if you are interested in my help and want me to apply.

It's nice to have a knowledgeable person around to hep with the history aspect, I'm looking forward to seeing your contributions in the future.

Hi Catalin! Thanks so much for your kind offer, we can definitely put your expertise to good use!

Please stick around the forums. You are very welcome to participate in any and all discussions.

We could probably use some help on the Celtic tech tree. Interested?

The guy who designed the current Celt tech tree turned out to be a fraud, so I'm not sure what's accurate and what's not.

Hi,

I would be interested in your offer but I would also propose several other things if you agree with them. Perhaps we can arrange some kind of meeting over the net (skype?) to settle things. I would probably need to work closely with Jeru in order to get the optimum results. I would be able to do tomorrow (Sunday) afternoon (UK time). Let me know.

Best to just jump onto our IRC channel or arrange a time on the IRC channel. It has a good logging system and multiple team members can chime in as well.

Allright, well, let me know when you or other members who I should be chatting with are usually on-line and I will try to make one of those times on the IRC channel.
