Publius joined TotalWarCenter.net on March 12, 2006. He is presently an Administrator for TotalWarCenter.net, functioning primarily as the CA Liaison and Total War Community Administrator alongside good friend and fellow admin, Halie Satanus. He also enjoys long walks on the beach and romantic candle-lit dinners. Read on if you like what you see...

Early Times

Having first come to TWC, Publius' initial interests were in one thing - Rome: Total War. Playing it near non stop for about three months, he had gradually begun modifying his own version of the game, mainly adding units and altering statistics. The first unit he ever successfully coded into a game was a Myrmidon unit, and oh what exciting times those were! Asking for advice (and occasionally giving it) Publius soon came to love the thriving mod community present on TWC.

Publius has also arrived just about the time when the Picture of the Week (previously the Picture of the Day) was being rejuvenated under the guidance of then junior moderator Lusted. Publius took a keen interest in the competition, and working on developing his then meager image editing skills, managed to win multiple times. As his abilities improved, Publius contacted Agraes, leader of Arthurian Total War, about the possibility of working with the Arthurian Team. Agraes, a warm hearted individual and soon to be good friend, kindly took him on. It was to mark the beginning of a career in modding that continues to this day.
