Talk:Ancient warfare

Age of Empires 1 and potential plagiarism

I recall that the "chariots" section and the first paragraph of the "Egypt" section had also been present, word for word, in the computer game Age of Empires 1, which was quite popular in its time. As Age of Empires 1 precedes Wikipedia, I have to ask whether this article plagiarizes it or whether they both originate from the same source. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Anvilsmith (talk • contribs) 13:37, 12 August 2012 (UTC)

"Ancient"

The definition of "ancient", which refers to the fall of Rome, seems suitable only for the Mediterranean. How would you define ancient with regard to China, for instance? Burschik 06:42, 28 Sep 2004 (UTC)

In fact, I believe that the Ancient period even in the Mediterranean is significantly earlier than Rome, which if I recall correctly belongs in the Classical, Post-Classical or Hellenic periods. However, in common usage beyond the textbook definition "ancient" is used to refer to anything before 600-700 AD and the start of the Dark Ages. Zrut (talk) 06:13, 18 December 2013 (UTC)

• Need a section on Archers & Skirmishers — various bows, javelins/pilum, & slings. RJH 18:10, 12 Oct 2004 (UTC)

• might want to avoid sounding like recounting units from various gaming systems (& yes I know some are based on actual historical army divisions) --ZayZayEM 02:57, 13 Oct 2004 (UTC)
