    My dad is an American history teacher, which helped my general interest in history. Then in 7th grade I got Age of Empires 2, which got me interested in Medieval history, which simply led to me learning as much as I could about European history. And I discovered that i liked ancient history is much more than Medieval history.

    I'm not particularly interested in the period, just the game.

    My area of professional study is military history with particular emphasis on the 19th Century.

    Well, apart from EB my interest in the period is somewhat limited.

    I'm an avid reader of historical novels (which sometimes contains some influences from fantasy or from myth), my studies have NOTHING to do with history (I'm studying biology), so ancient history is no more than an hobby for me.

    However, I'm curious, so I prefer to learn something playing a game that is actually historically accurate rather than vanilla RTW

    So, EB rocks!
