Hail New Members! (Introduction) v.IV

"Greetings, Salutations and copious amounts of Salaam to all at the Org.

A little about me then. Apart from the obvious RTW interest, I am fascinated by Classical Civilisations and suffice to say apart from football (the beautiful game), this takes up most of my time. I adore travelling to ancient sites of civilisations, battles and sites of archaelogical interest. This weekend, I am planning to go with a group of friends to small town in Hertfordshire county, England called Wheathampstead. Just south of it are very good preserved remnants of a Belgic Oppidum and on the balance of probabilities it is where Cassivellaunus holed himself up in a fort pending the arrival of Julius Caesar to the northern most point of his second expedition to Britannia. (Then again, most of you here will know that.) Will be most interesting and very much looking forward to it. I am not very much into the MTW game aspect as it is a different time frame from my preferred area of history.

I have been mainly using the Org for some of the research/history threads along with the AAR ones which have been quite good. I have enjoyed the Interactive Histories section and would also echo other member comments specifically about the Interactive Histories by Kraxis. I enjoyed immensley your I/H on Antiochus. Shame it was so brief and that he met a quick and trajic end. Tried to make a short post in the I/H Warriors Ambition but had no luck possibly due to my serf like status in the Org.

I have chosen my handle PersianFire as I am currently reading Persian Fire by Tom Holland regarding the rise of Persian Empire and the Greek States specifically Sparta and leading to the Battle of Thermopylae. Hlfway through it and a decent enough book.

Anyway, there appears to be a lot of decent, intelligent and very knowledgeable people here and I look forward to conversing/meeting you soon."

Welcome Vici AND PersianFire ~:wave:

And that better be American Football :beam:

Welcome to the .Org PersianFire ~:wave:

Salaam to you too, Persian Fire. Hawooh.

سلام ترا آتش پارسی - Selām to you, Persian Fire ~:)

I suppose you'd enjoy EB pretty much, given your keen interest on history and archaeology. ~;)

"Thank you to the preceeding 5 posts for extending me a warm welcome.

TruePraetorian there is only one game referred to as the beautiful game and it is not gridiron football. I do follow it at times, but it amazes me the amount of people you need in the team. I have just about got my head around alot of the maneovers and it always makes me laugh when the sports commentators refer to the built-like-a-brick-shithouse defense as athletes. Apart from being fat and attempting to sack/crush the oppostion they do litle else. Good game but against proper football, no contest.

Mouzafphaerre I have to admit that at this time apart from playing RTR 6.0 or Gold (I think), I have not played any other. EB, I have looked into it in quite detail and will be playing it once I get some time as it looks fantastic judging from screenshots and AAR's. Also, very much looking forward to RTR 7.0 as well."

Make sure you give EB lots of download time. Well worth the wait though. :ave:

ALL HAIL ANDRES KING OF THE MAFIAZ!!! :)-|-<

Lil bump for this thread.

I'm new - well duh! - been obsessing over the TW series since the awesomness that was STW moved onto Europe - Rome & Medieval and am now awaiting my turn as leader of the British Empire in ETW.

Hello.

I am a Maxwell - not The Maxwell, we haven't had one of those for awhile, but perhaps someday...

I just picked up M2TW last week and am enthralled with it. I wanted to join to see if I could get some help with some hardware issues I seem to have, so thanks for allowing me to join and I hope to see you around the M2TW areas.

Thanks.

Welcome Maxwell, Parallel Pain and AngarakaS ~:wave:

If you are having technical problems with M2:TW, feel free to post them in the Apothecary.

~:)
