    You know you play too much EB when you watch a battle movie and declare that the losing side could have easily won the battle had you been in command.

    You're kidding, right?! We were just reading the Three Theban Plays in Classical Literature!
    Our teacher has a habit of correcting our pronounciations as well.

    "Did you just say Cray-on? It's Cree-on. Did you just say O-edipus? It's Ed-ipus. Did you just say Thee-bees? It's Theebes. Did you just say Anti-gone? It's Antigonee."

    You get the idea.

    [AN-TEE-GOH-NAY] is more like it, but you're really only able to pronounce it if you know a Centum language outside of the Germanic family.

    I couldn't help laughing when a classmate said "Argonian" (It's 'Argive', and my teacher knew that as well). There are two Hellenic (ok, Greek) people in my English class (one was actually born in Hellas - ok, Greece), but they speak Modern Greek, which is like Modern English to Middle English (not earlier, as there were no Norman/French loanwords at that point)

    Another funny thing is the stupid upsilon translation - it's like a german u (with two dots over it, as in uber), but the Romans made 'y' for the purpose of translating Y (Greek Upsilon), but they couldn't pronounce the letter, and y evolved to its modern use, the /j/ sounds (like in German 'Jungen'). Ah, stupid Latinization problems.

    ...when u are asking questions and modding factions in the game. Even though u don't have time to play it, and the campaign you are playing now has no involvement what so ever in the modding you are making.

    (I am adding Gaesatae back to the provinces where they used to be for the Aedui and Arverni in 1.0, and my current campaign is with Backtria! And I haven't played EB in 4 days.)

Your annoying attitude, bad grammar, illogical arguments, false beliefs and pathetic attempts at humour have driven me and many other nice people from this forum. You should feel ashamed. Report here at once to recieve your punishment. Scumbag.

    You know you play too much when real life is a pause from EB.
    Paper is deadly in the hands of a skilled player, but Rock is clearly OP.
    Signed, Scissors.

    That's so wrong, Rock is working as intended but everyone knows Scissors is WAY too good.
    Signed, Paper.

    Wow, neither of you have a clue about the game. Scissors is fine but Paper is extremely imbalanced and needs nerfing asap!
    Signed, Rock.

    You know you play too much EB when you constantly press F5 in the EB forum page to see if anyone is talking about EB.

    Definitely so. I often find myself doing the same!

    Anyway: You know you have played EB too much once they can correctly pronounce all of the native names of the EB units.
