"Upon using the mod, you agree to read more history."
:laugh4:
For some reason this struck me a funny when I went to install v1.1. Not that I have any choice in the matter as EB is one big history lesson in itself. :2thumbsup:
P.S. I know this is rather trivial but I couldn't help it...
Aye, that got quite a bit of a chuckle from my part as well. I've read quite a lot of history since getting EB four months ago though. Past four months have expanded my knowledge of the classical era a millionfold.
"Upon installing the mod you agree the creators hold no responsibility for bankruptcy due to spending all your disposable income on history books" would have been a more apt licence.

Indeed, I've used EB as a way to find sources for papers...some of you may remember a thread a while back under a former name where I asked about the Sophists sent to India:-)
I never read that stuff.
Heh.
"Yeah, yeah, sure. Blah blah blah"
Which was almost as long as the license agreement :laugh4:.Quote:

Sorry. :embarassed:
Don't use EB as a source, it's all baseless conjecture from what I hear!Quote:

Naw, but You guys had those great strabo quotes-and since I was working on a paper about trade during this exact time period...playing an EB game was a great way to procrastinate while not procrastinating.
Thanks guys. You saved my butt in that Hellenistic Kingdoms History class. This balloon is for everybody who worked on EB. Ever.
:balloon2:
What the hell is "Getai"?
I know, crazy modders. Don't they know Rome was divided into three parts at the start of the game?Quote:

aye,the modders were idiotic not to include the camel cataphracts and head hurlers :(
LOL, you should have a 'Professor/Teamer/Educational Instructor" section on your site with lesson plans.
Its not as crazy as it sounds. I knew a guy who's history teacher whored a computer lab for a few weeks and had his students play Civilization in groups to learn some weird combination of history and diplomacy. Of course he taught as they were playing as well. He probably got fired like all the innovative teachers though.
Haha, yea that had me laughing. When I installed EB it was after a day of trying to find a good video file converter that didnt have some hidden clause about buying the thing in the license agreement (Im not cheap.... ... I don't have a credit card, on principle!).
