It's not an eastern egg. Check Artemidoros 2.69.

You learn something every day with the EB team... But the first line was simply so funny I could not take it serious!
I am getting a good piece of cheese now and seeing if we will survive 2012...:clown::clown:

Ah, ehm, yeah. The trait description is rather hilarious, the trait itself... less so.

Eating cheese turns you into a surrender monkey, duh.

Fluvius always blitzes, you know that. To each their own style. Seems he is intent on a new record for Romani, last one was 192 BC, should be breakable with this situation.
Wonder what the team member had smoked though:clown:

Well in europe we have two "cheese-nations": Switzerland an Netherlands. In both there is a loophole in the legislation for thc-based substances...
Nah, don't want to spread rumors.
But I'd welcome more of these unconvetional traits in EBII!

Umm well I am not after a speed record, this is how I enjoy the game. This is the same campaign I showed finished half a year ago. I was just cleaning up my picture folder and came accross this and just had to ask.~D
If I was after the speed record I wouldnt even reach 200BC. But come on, I am not after speed, I roleplay; FMs have a personal life, accomplsish in politics and hate other FMS, I just cant enjoy streams of full stacks. So when a faction attacks me out of the blue, they die.
But this thread is about the trait not my conquering, for that go comment on the pictures in the album on my profile and comment on my strategies there or whatever, this is about a cheesy Seleucid....~D

Almost as good as the Abokasee trait.
Almost as good as the Abokasee trait.
That's cruel and you know it, not telling us what that particular trait is,
ziegenpeter
10-22-2009, 21:41
you can search for it. It gives -3 Infl. and then there is Abokasix -3 Infl. again, but I afair, they are even higher levels of another bad trait.
If you don't know what Abokasee is, I will be cruel aswell and don't tell you because I think you've been around the .org for a while and if you don't know about the mythical of Abkasee, you probably don't belong here... :evilgrin::evilgrin::evilgrin::evilgrin::evilgrin::evilgrin::evilgrin::evilgrin::evilgrin::evilgrin: :evilgrin::evilgrin::evilgrin::evilgrin::evilgrin::evilgrin::evilgrin::evilgrin::evilgrin::evilgrin: :evilgrin::evilgrin:

Abokasee is the fourth level of Aponenoemenos (- Nonsensical)

απονενοημένος does not mean nonsensical.
The "cheese oracle" trait was coded in by no other than one of our greatest members, Teleklos Archelaou. It was an actual way for the oracles back then to make predictions about the future.
Anything for a buck if you ask me. Ancient Oracles are difficult to understand until you realize this. They'd go the extra mile to get your money. (And then hide it somewhere, for it to be discovered in the future-by Archaeologists).

Not unlike modern oracles, then. Astrology-hotlines are big business nowadays.

What does it mean, then? "Nonsensical" is just what I found for it in export_VnVs.txt

I've seen a lot of "divination" tachniques that make me wonder if the "inventors" were on something.
this particular means of telling the future (an impossibility when using "divination") convinces me that its "inventor" was almost certainly on LSD.

No LSD back then. I know it must be difficult to comprehend in this day and age, but there are people who never used drugs and never will.

What are you talking about? That people do more drugs nowaday than in earlier days? Sounds very speculative to me.
Plus, they definetly had hallucinogenic drugs.
lol, Speculations, speculations... Amerindians did use extensivly hallucinogen drugs back then... why not them? I remember i've read in the genialisimus (yeah, word of mine!!!) book ''celtic history and dictionnary'' from Venceslas Kruta, that the keltic did used drugs, both for hallucinations (that's their phones to call the gods...) and to ''feel no pain'', so they could run naked in front of even the mighty roman legions! though at the end, it didn't worked as they wished!
well guys : :backtotopic:

there was LSD back then, or a similar chimical. its found in Urgot*, a fungus that affects crops. eat the crop, and you get a free trip:clown:
of course it was an accidental high, but the point is they had access to LSD or similar drugs:clown:
besides, there were plenty of drugs back then; as one example, Opium was HUGE in the classical world iirc. the plant that they used for it came from cyprus, and was exported to the various parts of the known world as early as the bronze age.
and besides, even if LSD and Opium weren't in Use, people still drank:clown:
now back to topic.
*did I misspell that?

Urgot*
You did misspell it. It's Ergot (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ergot).
Well, considering that a lot of drugs were, in the beginning of their use, medical drugs (cocaine in the XIX century, opioids in early chinese dinasties, etc), I can't stop from thinking in how many other experiments with different substances happened during these times ...
Cheers :horn:

Doesn't anyone read the loading screen quotes?
Scythians take cannabis seed and throw it on red-hot stones where it sends up billows of smoke. The Scythians howl with joy in these vapor-baths, which serve them instead of bathing, for they never wash their bodies with water.

Just how clean do people get from a vapor bath?
-Praetor-
10-30-2009, 16:28
I don't know, ask the finns.
And smoke from Cannabis seeds is hardly vapour. :P
well, I don't know if it takes off the dirt of the body, but it certainly takes off the problems of the mind... for a time!!! :laugh4:

I've always felt like all saunas do is make you more sweaty than you were before, they feel great, but in terms of cleanliness, I don't know... I guess sweat does exfoliate?
On the topic of cheese, how does one get this trait? I'm assuming it's linked to the capture of antiquity's greatest cheese-producing regions.... but not.
It's a good one for the addition of epithets with the M2TW base of EB2. I can see it now: "Androsthenes Persikos The Cheese Lover and conqueror" :laugh4:
