  1. 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.

  2. Hey, if there wasn't the Medevil Age, humanity would be colonizing the space by now. ( It's a true fact)

     

    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...

  3. Lol Moonlapse, I actually find the first sig pretty cool. :P

     

    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. :)

  4. 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.

  5. 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. ;)

  6. 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.

  7. What do you think of AElfred?does he deserve the title "Great"?

     

    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?
