Rome Total War: Barbarian Invasion Expansion Pack
Fafnir replied to Favonius Cornelius's topic in Circensis
I have it, though i must admit that im rather disappointed. I found RTR v6.1 a much funner experience than BI Vanilla. But the mods that will come of this game will be fantastic, atleast. -
Certainly the Turks would have eventually conquered the Byzantines, even without the victory. But yes, I believe it did lead to a domino effect of bad events.

A utopian society located on a man-made moon orbiting a planet full of rare minerals to trade with you silly Earthlings.

Okay, that was just weird. Welcome to the forums Emperor Goblinus

If it's true, then it's reasonable. Officers always get treated better than grunts, even today.

Alexanders Strategic Blunder?
Fafnir replied to Segestan's topic in Gloria Exercitus - 'Glory of the Army'
I have to agree that it would be rather pointless to expand west at the time. Other than Italy, the rest of the west was all "barbaric" and wouldnt be able to be easily subdued. Remember if the Persian empire fell in the East he could easily take over, but with the barbarians he would have to take them out tribe by tribe. Besides, what's the point of taking barbarian lands? They dont have treasure like the Easterners did. -
Thanks guys. Had my party all Saturday night (surprised the cops didnt come) and spent my birthday sick. Atleast I can drive now.
-
Wait, how can you call that a true fact, have you seen what life would be like today without the medieval period? It's more of an opinion than a fact. And i think you were looking for the Dark Ages, the Medieval period actually had some technological advancements...

Lol no, you just remind me of him. I dont know why you do, but you're an awesome guy so far. I didnt mean to be insulting in the least.
-
Maybe if you gave them 500 years without any major conflicts. It just doesn't seem possible that they could have found and harnessed electricity that quickly.

Vespasian. Must have been all of my pro-military answers, lol. It *is* what got me interested in the Roman Empire in the first place.
-
Lol Moonlapse, I actually find the first sig pretty cool. Yeah, Zeke, I remember those days. I still come on this site pretty frequently but I just dont have enough time to post all that much. Its still good to read all what people have to say though. By the way, Tobias oddly reminds me of Spartocus before he went crazy... Except Tobias is much more knowledgeable.

Deny people their basic freedoms, duh! Or become an administrator and make your own title because of your unlimited power, whatever.
-
Okay, thanks you three for the answer. I wasnt sure myself because i was pretty much absent while you guys changed up the forums.
-
Yeah, i think making a giant palace for himself in the ashes of the city after the fire is evidence enough. He probably set the fire IMO, or had something to do with it, but its not like we'll ever know for sure.
-
Im not sure where to post this... But im just asking if anyone knows what the difference is between the groups Citizens and Members on the forums. Preferably if an Admin knows.
-
What?! I didn't know _that_ much damage was done! I thought it was just another hurricane...
-
Err... Thanks Valens, must have missed it.
-
Yeah, Pontus took over the Crimea pretty late. Does anyone know how the kingdom actually was created, and when? I think RTW said Pontus was created when Alexander's empire fell apart into the separate kingdoms. Then some guy took advantage of the chaos and created the kingdom of Pontus. But its bad to rely on a video game for facts.

It's already taking you guys over! Yes, let's all pray to Google. It is our master now.
-
Google is taking over everything. I already have a gmail account (It is so exclusive! I only have 40,000 invites left!) and they made a new Google Talk chat program which may be able to rival the big three soon. So sure, why not. Its going to turn into the Wal Mart of the internet in a few years anyways.

Though this Bikini Girls thing is interesting...
-
Probably not. Most of the nicknames given to historic people dont make sense. (Ivar the Boneless ) Were the Danes actually all that powerful during this time period? I figured they just had immediate victories because this was the Viking era. (Vikings were always striking fear in their opponent and forcing them to surrender/be massacred) This Alfred character still seems like he would have been a wonderful king for this war-like era in history. EDIT: Did you write all that yourself L?

Tenochitlian. If the stories about the city were true (which they probably werent) it would definately be the most beautiful city. It was on the middle of a lake, had floating gardens, and had vast riches. Too bad it was beseiged and destroyed so quickly. Spaniards do some things wrong.
