"by downloading this game you agree to read more history"
that is absolutly hilarious! awesome mod guys!

And I've stuck to that agreement.

You have to read more history if you want to keep up with half the people on this forum! The EB EULA is for your own good.

And indeed Good sirs, you play can't play EB without reading more history because the mod constantly assaults the player with a veritable abundance of the stuff, unless the player is just plain blinkard and lazy.

Indeed, I can't help but read history books, currently I'm working my way through a bit of Livy which I actually find an enjoyable read, but a lot of people have told me it's very suspect and to be taken with a pinch of salt. I'd recommend it as a read.

You can never ever keep up with The Persian Cataphract! All hail!

Only reason Livy isn't reliable is because of his nationalism. He omits certain things to spare the Romans from shame like when Hiero sends troops to the Romans in the form of slingers, Livy omits the fact that the Romans requested the troops because it's a shameful act. He does write a very entertaining narrative though. I've read all of his surviving work and loved it, and one can assume it's mostly true because he had access to the Roman archives. At any rate, it sucks that most of his work hasn't come down to us. :(

EB made me come back to one of my long lost loves - reading Osprey books. They're the perfect companion to EB imho.
