You put the jewel thing in the staff thing, put it in the slot and and wait for the sun. Wait - you're not a nazi are you?

He also got the Fascists to horrible 'finish' renaissance buildings.

That is incredible.
JdSvard
You need more pylons

240 seems small I would think like maybe 800
Amblydoper
Yea, its 1:250. Pesto: http://www.aviewoncities.com/rome/museodellaciviltaromana.htm
Amblydoper
I think 240 might be accurate... looking at the door in the background for scale, since we have no banana.
mistersaIvage
The staff must be the correct height. Or else you'll get the wrong location for the Ark of the Covenant

Wheres the towers u have to jump off of to discover the map?
PietroAretino
A) That game was in Florence, not Rome.
FourCatsAndSevenMemesAgo

As a scale war-gaming enthusiast...I have the hugest boner right now...
Mikjall
What kind of games would those be *he asked, intensely curious*
SC0URG3
I mainly play Kings of War, Warhammer (fantasy & 40K), Warmachine, Necromunda, Mordeheim, and some others, mainly 28mm scale. However...
SC0URG3
There's also 6mm scale historical war-gaming, which would work nicely on this display board. Google it and you'll get the idea :D

Was it built in a day?
Keibrina
Nah, it was built in a night.
darksideofthetracks
Did he ever give a particular reason why?
rocketman89
This was just how they did things before CAD. Shit, it's still done now because it's awesome art.
GandalfsLawyer
Recreating the Roman Empire was a big part of Musolinis schtik. Turn the Mediterranean into an Italian lake
darksideofthetracks
I haven't really up much on mussolini... the more I like
Leeloothedog
howd that work out for him?

Was this 3D Printed, or did someone actually have the mental capability to assemble that, building by building?
PietroAretino
Analog, son.
imaginedear
Pretty sure Mussolini didn't have a 3D
baronridiculous
Mussolini died in 1945. Is it your impression they had 3D printing in 1945?

................................. I'll show myself out.
ThisSiteUsedtobeCool
You handled that with grace. I like your style.
COOL69GUY420ZONE
I thought it would be bigger
rocketman89
240 times bigger?
COOL69GUY420ZONE
That sounds about right.
RocketSprocket
Nigel gave me a drawing that said 18 inches. Now, whether or not he knows the difference between feet and inches is not my problem.
IsItMeOrDoesItSmellLikeUpdogInHere
What is this? A city for ants??
AttorneyAtBirdLaw
Well it's good to know that if only I were here 2 hours earlier I would have had top comment.
TheUSSRegularity
How can you expect someone to live in a city that they can't even fit through the front gates

Ants don't live in cities, they live in farms!
wadapApp
It's civilized ants.
ArtOzz
Well maybe its time they organized and formed cohensive communities and rebelled against the bourgeoisie.
BrotherofTheNightsWatch
And whose going to lead them? You?!
ArtOzz
Nooo, should be one of their own, wouldnt be right, a human leading the ants, we have treaties with their leaders.
