Elikes

Elikes are the cross between a jackle and a elite {halo 2}. They were created by N11 from halo 3, otherwise know in Halo 3 Xbox 360 live xcrazysevx. They are as strong as a elite and as fast and sharpeyed as a jackle.

Roman Inventions
Roman Inventions

Concrete (cement). Although the Roman style of architecture was taken from the Greeks, the Greeks built their buildings and roads using cut stone. This is a LOT slower than mixing up a batch of concrete, which allowed the Romans to build huge cities and all the infrastructure required in mass quantities, including mass-produced buildings and roads. So now you have large cities possible and roads to connect them for trade and commerce in a huge empire. The reason why Christianity spread so quickly compared to earlier religions was the ability to spread the teachings using the Roman roads and infrastructure.

Of course, Roman buildings didn't last as well as the stone buildings of the Greeks even though they are newer.

The modern road. Why? It allowed for easier access to places and within cities/towns etc. The road also allowed the roman army to have better access to various places because they didn't have to battle with rough terrain, just a flat road. As a result they could cover more distance in a shorter amount of time. They allowed for better access to foreign traders and even Roman traders. Think of all the things we use roads for today and that’s how it revolutionized the built environment. An aqueduct is a water supply or navigable channel (conduit) constructed to convey water. In modern engineering, the term is used for any system of pipes, ditches, canals, tunnels, and other structures used for this purpose. In a more restricted use, aqueduct (occasionally water bridge) applies to any bridge or viaduct that transports water —instead of a path, road or railway —across a gap. Large navigable aqueducts are used as transport links for boats or ships. Aqueducts must span a crossing at the same level as the watercourses on each side. (Alternative solutions involving a change of water level are a water pump or siphon for water transport, or a boat lift, pound lock, or canal inclined plane for boat movement.) The word is derived from the Latin aqua ("water") and ducere ("to lead").

Although particularly associated with the Romans, aqueducts were devised much earlier in the Near East and Indian subcontinent, where peoples such as the Egyptians and Harappans built sophisticated irrigation systems. Roman-style aqueducts were used as early as the 7th century BC, when the Assyrians built a 50 mile (80 km) long limestone aqueduct, 30 feet (10 m) high and 900 feet (300 m) wide, to carry water across a valley to their capital city, Nineveh. In the new world, when the Aztec capital of Tenochtitlán was discovered in the middle of the second millennium, it was watered by two aqueducts. Roman aqueducts were built in all parts of the Roman Empire, from Germany to Africa, and especially in the city of Rome, where they totalled over 260 miles (416 km). The aqueducts supplied water to large cities across the empire, and set a standard of engineering that was not surpassed for more than a thousand years. Navigable aqueducts are bridge structures which carry canals over other rivers, valleys or railways or roads. They are primarily distinguished by their size, carrying a larger cross-section of water than most water-supply aqueducts. Although Roman aqueducts were sometimes used for transport, aqueducts were not generally used until the 17th century when the problems of summit level canals had been solved and the modern canal system started to appear. Early aqueducts such as the three on the Canal du Midi (1683) were stone or brick arches, the longest span being 18.3 m on the Cesse Aqueduct (1686). However the weight of the construction to support the trough with the clay or other lining to make it waterproof made these structures clumsy and it was not until 1796 that the first large cast iron aqueduct was built at Longdon-on-Tern by Thomas Telford on the Shrewsbury Canal. It has a total length of 57 m with 3 intermediate piers. The Romans are generally famous for their advanced engineering accomplishments, although some of their own inventions were improvements on older ideas, concepts and inventions. Technology for bringing running water into cities was developed in the east, but transformed by the Romans into a technology inconceivable in Greece. The architecture used in Rome was strongly influenced by Greek and Etruscan sources. Roads were common at that time, but the Romans improved their design and perfected the construction to the extent that many of their roads are still in use today. Their accomplishments surpassed most other civilizations of the time, and many of their structures have withstood the test of time to inspire others, especially during the Renaissance. Moreover, their contributions were described in some detail by authors such as Vitruvius, Frontinus and Pliny the Elder, so there is a printed record of their many inventions and achievements. Roman bridges were among the first large and lasting bridges built.They were built with stone and had the arch as its basic structure. Most utilized concrete as well. Built in 142 BC, the Pons Aemilius, later named Ponte Rotto (broken bridge) is the oldest Roman stone bridge in Rome, Italy. The biggest Roman bridge was Trajan's bridge over the lower Danube, constructed by Apollodorus of Damascus, which remained for over a millennium the longest bridge to have been built both in terms of overall and span length. They were most of the time at least 18 meters above the body of water.
