Yeah I remember when I was out to dinner with my family, at some point I ended up mentioning Makedonia and I received nothing but blank stares...It's weird how I just assume that they (and everyone around me) know about ancient history...but I'm always disappointed :shame:
So thats why I'm here on these forums :clown:

Re: What you say to your girlfred, wife, mother, when you are going to play EB:)
yup
here you'll find understanding ears everywhere.
People here do not feel calling the psys when you mention "that's where my flanking move payed off and I managed to drive off the first stack just in time to meet the second..." (or anything among those lines)
Also, you don't have to live such dialogue:
"hey, what's are those midgets on the screen ? It's so cute."
"They're not midgets, they're legionnairs, and they're not cute, they're bad asses. I trained them the hard way, and they've been with me since I departed from Rome.
... er, just playing a game, forget about it..."

Re: What you say to your girlfred, wife, mother, when you are going to play EB:)
I don't have to make any excuses, my mum encourages me to play EB instead of my other games cuz it's the only one that doesn't distract my brother when he's studying due to a complete lack of interest, and my girlfriend? Let's just say my girlfriend has a Makedonia campaign in progress at the moment. ^_^
I feel like such a fortunate guy.

Re: What you say to your girlfred, wife, mother, when you are going to play EB:)
Ive shown the game to my fiance she just looks at the monitor with a puzzled face:inquisitive: telling me"why do you have all those horses running around?" i told her im trying to flank my enemy she asks "what is a flank?" so i told her to stand by the bed and I came from the side and knocked her on the bed. I said that my dear is a flank :laugh4:

You can get them only after "Nano reform" are triggered ,which one of its conditions is "The year should be at least 2100 AD". And they are indeed expensive but worth the coast :wink: unfortunately it is not in FAQ !

Re: What you say to your girlfred, wife, mother, when you are going to play EB:)
Well, I believe it's about time someone placed this in the faqs :p Yesterday I had a friend of mine come over and I was playing EB the first thing she said was was "How cute! Horsies!!!!" And I went "Cute?!? They are Pahlavan Grivpânvar the meanest, manlier cavalry around they just crushed a Seleucid army in no time!" th wich she answered "Nevertheless, they're still cute." So, now I'm the guy who likes to play with cute horsies... Of course I went to frenzy and threw her out the door the very next minute (j/k).
Cheers...

mAIOR! Hop on to MSN, like... Now?
Seriously, need to talk to you, don't worry I won't bite :clown:

Re: What you say to your girlfred, wife, mother, when you are going to play EB:)
My parents seem to deliberately ignore everything I do at my computer, though I think I'm happy for that. It's annoying when someone tries to be friendly and asks what I'm doing, only to leave before I finish my sentence. All my family hate video games. It seems they've made up their mind that it's a bad thing. Every time I ask "can I borrow your credit card, so I can buy something online?", and they ask me what it is, they het those gloomy faces.
I'm not sure what they'll say if they ever see the gesatae, though..

I need to find myself one of those girlfriends... My ex mentioned EB as a reason... The worse part I believe was all I could think was "who cares?"
Heh, in that case it was probably for the best for both of you...

I've seen that story before, though with some slight adjustments. Someone in my clan posted it on our forums. Hilarious.:laugh4:
I really got into and PC games after I left home, so my mother poses very little annoyance these days. And when my GF is over, she takes priority over everything. Including EB. :shame:

Re: What you say to your girlfred, wife, mother, when you are going to play EB:)
Me wife understand that I have urges to destruct things and occupy my creative strategical mind, therefore she doesn't' mind me playing at all.
After all better playing EB, then drinking and smashing people's faces.

Brother, is that you?

Re: What you say to your girlfred, wife, mother, when you are going to play EB:)
When I'm good :
I say : listen, I made dinner, washed the dishes and the TV is showing craps tonight. What about going to bed early?
And if she say : oh, I got such a headache tonight ! I say, please take a rest, I'll let you alone for a while...:juggle2:
When I'm less good :
You'd better let me play my stupdi game, cause I have to crush something tonight, better the Roman Empire then you :whip:
-
Re: What you say to your girlfred, wife, mother, when you are going to play EB:)
Well lucky you, you have only your girlfriend. I have my wife that whenever I sit down to play EB she always goes berserk about the waist of time, and my two elder kids either want to play the internet or Prince of Persia. I was thinking to get another pc, and shoot my wife.:hmg::wall:
Cheers

The first idea sounds good but I wouldn't think about the second, or you won't play EB for a very long time :laugh4:

You are officially the luckiest EB player alive. I think i speak for most of us here when i say GOD DAMN YOU, and go stick your sarissa where the sun doesn't shine!
Just envy.
Anyway, I've managed to keep EB(and RTR) away from girlfriend for 9 months. Luckily i don't live with her so she hasn't learnt my dirty little secret.

Re: What you say to your girlfred, wife, mother, when you are going to play EB:)
The Persian Cataphract, your situation is closest to mine playing EB all hours of the night. This while my GF is trying to convince me to "come to bed" and I say 15 minutes. Which really means 4 hours.
Basically it works like this, when she has something to do she thinks me playing the computer is a dream. When she is bored then she becomes my nightmare and EB becomes her nightmare as well but it becomes my savior.

Re: What you say to your girlfred, wife, mother, when you are going to play EB:)
The person who made this thread spelt girlfriend wrong.

Re: What you say to your girlfred, wife, mother, when you are going to play EB:)
I am in between gf at this time but I would probably tell my next one if asked why do I play. I have dreamed of being Caesar ever since I read "The Gallic War and Other Commentaries" by Julius Caesar when I was a young boy.:viking:

Haha, this is my tactic too.
Also, if I give up the right to the TV control, she's hapy enough watching Exteme Make Over or Big Brother or whatever it is girlfriends watch when they're not subjected to watching football.
I also send her shopping.

Thankfully she has her own money! I couldn't afford to keep her otherwise.

Re: What you say to your girlfred, wife, mother, when you are going to play EB:)
lol, I can't believe the stories I'm reading here. Some of you seriously have to consider upgrading to GirlFriend 2.0!
Edit: Having said that, I'm still running GF 1.0 without any compatibility issues with EB. But I've already said that... ;)

Re: What you say to your girlfred, wife, mother, when you are going to play EB:)

Re: What you say to your girlfred, wife, mother, when you are going to play EB:)
When I grab myself a new GF I think I'll try the caveman aproach...
Me wants to play EB! You can sit there and shut up or I crush big Mamoth bone in your head and drag you to cave!! Uha!!!
Cheers...

OR you can.... multitask with your wife and EB. :yes:
Give some thoughts on how you could "position" this scenario to happen. There are a few ways.

*bow* I don't use the sarissa, my weapon of choice is the framea. It's more versatile, agile, and has the effect as the sarissa though lighter. ^_^

Re: What you say to your girlfred, wife, mother, when you are going to play EB:)
*waves framea threateningly at pezhetairoi*
Anyway, in the spirit of the question, I'm fine with him playing EB, really, plus the history lessons on the side. They're fascinating. In moderation. <_< And I can sort of tell when he's playing, which is fine too, because that means I can off and play either EB or (currently) other games.. :beam:
Oh dear, I need to change my sig, it's been a while. Edit: Sig change'd.
