Hurst Nordfink has the right idea. What fun/cool/useful and not so useful things did everyone get for X-Mas?
Me. I got a few cool things...
Best one... "Justinian's Flea: Plague, empire, and the birth of Europe"
Second best ... a wonderful bottle of Port.
and - oh yeah - black socks.:san_cool:
My presents:
The Arab-Israeli Wars by Chaim Herzog
Volume 1 of the Penguin Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, from Trajan to Gratian/Valentinian II
Volume 1 Part 1 of the Cambridge Ancient History: Prolegomena and Prehistory
Theodore Ayrault Dodge's Hannibal
Lovely stuff, but only because I told the relatives exactly what I wanted for gifts. Otherwise I might've gotten random tshirts and socks.
I got the second season of ROMA and some more gifts and money!
Cheers...
a new video card and more RAM.... and a dead AAR........
Hello fellow EB’ers!
I just wanted to pop into the pub, chug down a pint of ale, or two, say hi, and most importantly congratulate the developers on a great mod. I have been a lurker on here for a while, because I have been looking up vital info *spoilers* for my ongoing Romani Campaign, and enjoying some of the great humor on here. I am currently at 179 BC and starting to get fatigued by the duration of this campaign but I am having a great time.
~:cheers:
Good to see 'ya Caesar, welcome to the Tavern. :ave:
Thanks Admetos. Nice to see you also.
:2thumbsup:
Does anyone know of whom the Roman Commander was responsible in instituting decimation among the ranks? What year was it, also?
Is there a Roman trait that reflects this in the game? :idea2:
Hey Pezhetairoi,
Tell me more about Dodge's "Hannibal" book, if you would be so kind.
thanks.
According to the oft maligned source, Wikipedia, the earliest documented decimation was in 471BC during Romes war with the Volsci.Quote:

Now, buy a drink or get out! :laugh4:
The Aedui have been crushed beneath my heels.
The Romans are my allies
My lands stretch from Lemonum to Mediolanium to the mouth of the Rhine and my eastern border has been fortified against the Sweboz.
This was a very merry Succulosmass for the Avernii.
Happy New Year's everybody!!!
Thats what I like to hear :beam:. :smash:Quote:

Before you start being too nice to me I should probably mention that when the galations rebelled against Pontos and joined my faction I destroyed everything possible in the city, disbanded the units, set taxes to maximum, and then delighted in my now brimming treasury.:2thumbsup:
:furious3: Get out! Now! :whip:

It's a narrative cum analysis of Hannibal's entire career and campaign against the Romans, from Saguntum to Nola to Zama, in the Punic War. It's made from the military point of view, so there are detailed maps, topographical analyses that have been gone over in person by the author in his travels, and the fixing of several battlesites' locations.Quote:

I'm now at the crossing of the Alps and the chapters so far are very well-written.
But you must expect the language of early-1900s acadaemia, very formal and cultured, with some bombastic words.
Yes, Arverni rock! :D
Happy New Year to all EB players
Come again?!Quote:
It's a narrative cum analysis

I agree. When I was in Amsterdam in September, the barman at the hotel we were stopping at kept giving us Jagermeister. I've sickened myself on it!
Damn it!
That guy isn't doing much good for the reputation of our Great Tiny Nation!
Nah, he was cool. It would've been better if he was handing out something nicer. But at least it was free!
