I do, for one. I enjoy sipping some hot tea or Greek coffee while playing EB. Never alcohol, though. Sometimes I eat stuff too, but I try to avoid it as it's quite messy. :smash:Quote:

When I don't play EB I pretty much do everything you expected from a student. I like party, films, art and most of all music.:egypt:
I was about to say it's nice to have another engineer, but seeing as your gonna change, I shall be alone once more. I've noticed a lot of people who play are students. Or are the students just trying to do anything to avoid doing their work while most others feel threatened by the average age of about 19-21!:idea2:Quote:

the people I think play EB are gaming or/and historical fans I think that the hard-core gaming fans would need a interest in history for them to stay around for more than 3 months
ages 14 - 40 there will be old one's but I think it a very small percent but 16 - 40 for the majority
Almost nineteen, a preacher's kid from the US of A. A lifelong military history fan, I got into the TW series with Medieval, bought Rome. Played Rome until nauseated with the inaccuracies, then downloaded EB 1.0.
21 NorthWest London
Child of Northern Irish Communists. One Catholic the other Anglican (great family parties :laugh4:)
Always been a Humanties geek i guess the parents raised me on social issues politics and history.
Left Derry at 7 but go there quite regularly. When work calls me. I love Britain and Ireland. Therefore Casse are my favs followed by the other Celtic factions.
I once Killed a Crow. pissed in a small kids drink(i was also small) and beat up a bloke till he was blind in one eye. He was a thug and i was defending myself.
I also once saved a woman from getting raped.
I guess that balances it out a wee bit.
meh ... what's the point... who needs to eat when you can play EB :jester:Quote:

Really enjoy a good book, recently been reading Jared Diamonds works on society and Harry Turtledove's alternate history novels. Got into TW series through my cousin introducing me to MTW. Bought RTW but was disappointed. I enjoy games that break genera standards; SimCity, The Sims, Portal, Spore, Mirror's Edge. Stumbled across the EB forums here in the summer of 2005, downloaded .72 in January 2006 and been addicted ever since. And that is the story of how I found EB.
Is you father orange, or green? ;)Quote:

Try to play EB 3 days without eat anything...:idea2:
It's maybe weird, but for me, the EB music works great as appetizers...:smitten:
cheers for everyone creating the EB music... :grin::grin::grin: maybe you can get some donations, playing these eat-inducing music in restaurants...:idea2:

25 yo Bulgarian. Ibrahim, 10 friends is a lot. I have half as much and I am a very happy man. There are lots of people I can drink a beer with, but very few I call friends. Why aren't Greek guys praising ouzo? I love that drink, it is excellent for a hot summer evening.Crystallized of course. And here is a recepy: take a melon, inject it with ouzo, freeze it and than enjoy? Anyway I drink anything. In my university years I even drank homemade vodka. I am surprised I am still alive.
I study political science.
Ouzo is pretty good, yes.
I just realised that I had been lurking for a really long time, even after creating an account. been lurking here since..........sometime early last year, but only created an account a few weeks ago.
i'm a 15 year old from Singapore (I think I'm the only one from that region), came across EB when I was searching for a RTW mod that had a map that wasn't cut off at Persia.
I'm particularly interested in History, oh everyone here is, but I got interested in history after I got RTW.
I simply can't start playing EB without having a cup of coffee to drink.Quote:

Hey that's our way of colonisation XD If Empires Total war had a simmilar Government system as EB Germans would build a brewery instead of Provisorial Military Government^^
Ze goffernment isst in ze brauerai :germany:. LOL Its a great way to throw off people who want to overthrow the "colonial oppressors" :idea:, after all, who would look for the military governor inside the brewery (except a German, of course).:wiseguy:
The reason simply is I started playing some years ago, but time goes on and so now I'm a student ;)Quote:

Actually, Ouzo is not very good for your health. That's basically because it turns white when mixed with water, which isn't good. On the other hand, I do sometimes drink Souma, which is the Parian equivalent of Tsipouro. Tsipouro closely resembles Ouzo in smell and taste, with some differences, mainly regional ones. Raki is also a good drink here in Crete. But Ouzo... Nah. Just for guys with no knowledge who have seen Zorbas the Greek or visited Greece in some goat village once in their lives:laugh4:

We have rakiya here, which is good, but the variety is broad. It coukd be made of rape, apricot or plumps. And what alcohol IS good for your health? Wine of course, but not in the quantities that make it fun. Don't drink often and you should be ok. Cheers ~:cheers:Quote:
