You know you play too much EB when you watch a battle movie and declare that the losing side could have easily won the battle had you been in command.
You know you play too much EB when you constantly press F5 in the EB forum page to see if anyone is talking about EB.
Definitely so. I often find myself doing the same!Quote:

Well I definitely know when you've seen a lot of EB: when you think, "surely, we've had at least 3 of those threads before?"
When you wait to couch your lance before you pass a car on the highway.
Or when you use a pillow as a hoplon and a broom as a sarissa.(on your sister)

When you catalogue everything from city status to FM in you'r notebook(guilty) wehehe

You know you play too much EB when you get in a fight you scream MOLON LABE! before the first punch is thrown.

:clown:
When you start talking about Indo-Baktria when your Global History teacher discusses British attempts to control the Khyber Pass.
when you correct people who say persia to say pahlava, and call them Dahae and Parni instead of pahlavans!
when you know how to say all the celtic names
ans say out of nowhere "deu-te-roi pha-lan-gi-tai" an pantodapoi.
when you try to use the thing that hold the curtain as a spear
and try to use anything as a sword xD
You think your son is sharp/charismatic/vigorous and wonder which garrison commander you will marry your daughter off to.
if you don't leave the house with less than 2 people to cover the flanks..
if you never "attack" your girlfriend from the rear, because you don't want to make her rout across the red line you draw around your bed...
If whenever you see a scrawny dude at the pub, you wonder if you have the gear, money, and a spare horse to recruit him into a unit of Prodromoi.
When you begin walking, you exclaim "Taxeis".
While hiking/ walkin' around in the woods/ park your kid plays at, you scout out all the good ambush spots.
You know you play too much EB when you revive threads which had been previously locked.
I am guilty of the signa ferte part.
Also, you play too much (if that is possible) EB when you actually remember the names of units and settlements!
At least if that language has nothing in common with yours.. I don't find it very hard to remember the Sweboz' unit names.
When, as you start a fight, you scream "Rabo!"
When you want to charge through the streets while mounted on an armored Armenian horse and wielding a kontos.
When you refuse to admit the fact that there is anything such as playing "too much" EB (guilty).
