Thank you all for your interest!

In the name of the true Basileus ton Basileon, I truthfully wish you spread Hellenism anew and put even Megas Alexandros' conquests to shame!

I made the map just with Paint, and the EB 1.0 plain map. Yes, Hellenism will be spread, I swear...

You sound sarcastic. Are you disappointed? Thx for the balloon...

How can anyone sound someway over the internet?

**Centurio Nixalsverdrus** · 09-03-2008, 02:38

Uff. How can anybody be the Sowiet premierminister or whatever, when the Sowietunion doesn't exist any more?

If you have a microphone and a voice chat program, certainly

Yes, of course that's what they told you, Comrade Nixalsverdrich.

Boy, when you say that it reminds me of that one episode of the Simpson's where the Soviet Union starts popping out everywhere on the press of a button by a diplomat in the U.N.

(Hell, even Lenin came back from the grave

No, actually I didn't

I'm sorry if I gave you such an impression, but the thing is, I have never seen that map before on the EB site (blanc page when clicking on it)! I downloaded it now, though

I'd say the king would surely choose his younger son Antiochos over a bastard. But he could not have done that before Antiochos' glorious victory because only then would the army accept him over the more experienced and influental Euphamios. But there would certainly be hard feelings. Sure, Euphamios is unselfish, but the agony of an unthankful father could make him bitter. And there is nothing more dangerous to a newly elected heir than a embittered half-brother with a lot of military fame and good connections to the army and the court. Beware the ides of september!
Do not put him in charge of Egypt, since that is a very rich region. Put him in command on the eastern border where he will be busy fighting nomads, Seleukids and rebellious Easterners. A man's mind constantly occupied with fighting won't have the time to scheme.

This is of course all just roleplay since there are no real rebellions in the RTW engine (unfortunately). Man, how cool would that be if there would be civil wars like in good ol' MTW. *nostalgia time*

**Maion Maroneios** · 09-04-2008, 20:11

Well, you can roleplay civil wars and even stimulate them, but it requires some time. I, for one, will try and roleplay my own little civil war soon and will surely make an appropriate topic. One thing that bothers me though, are the internal names of the Makedonian FM's, as it seems that I cannot teleport any of them by just adding their names to the cheats. Also, when I want to add units, it always says that the unit is not regognised, even though I type in the exact unit name (for example, ''hellenistic infantry spartiates hoplitai''). I know this is not the appropriate topic, but maybe someone could clear this out for me? I would be immensely grateful to him.

I think it's "hellenistic infantry spartiateshoplitai" without the space between spartiates and hoplitai. Did you remember the hyphens? When you type in >?create_unit<, perhaps it gives you the exact syntax?

I really share your thoughts on this topic! Do you think I should charge him with the upcoming conquest of Italy? Or perhaps government of the Crimea, where I have to prepare for the Sarmatae who will try to reconquer it?
