Very well done, Mithridates. I don't want to spoil anything our guys have been working on, but I don't think you'll be much disappointed.

I demand the EB team stop portioning out these sort of comments on a regular basis. Simply visiting this forum has become a serious health risk to me, as there is always an acute risk a comment such as the above one will cause me to fall from chair.
If this continues and my health continue to detoriate I will be left with no option but to sue the EB team for causing me grave physical damage.

Lawsuit.

I'd say 50,000 dollars...at least.

Yeah great plan! Sue the EB team!! As we all know, EB II only take that long to finish because the EB team is so busy counting the vast stockpiles of cash they earned with EB I. Squeeze 'em, they got it big time!!

Great essay, Mithridates! I enjoyed reading it very much.

He's being facetious ;) EB is all-volunteer.

In fact, if you add donations and subtract server costs, we're actually in the red. Although we've been helped out by lots of generous folk.

EDIT: Oh, and great essay M6E!

EB comes with the expressed warning that we accept no liability, nor can be held responsible for any damage resulting from using the product. Obviously, comments about all that exciting new work, of which you can bet that quite a few EB members are enjoying the awesomeness, are all part of the game.

After all, it was the diversified and fractional nature of Greece, which in many ways enabled the Romans to get a foothold in the area.

This and the "Hellenic alliance" of Doson in 224 BCE is the two driving factors of KH development.
Excellent essay. Very well documented and I tend to agree on all but for a minor mistake at "Isopoliteia" at the beginning. In the end though, you hit the nail in the head.

Excellent work, btw.

Thanks, K.

Appreciation from a Greek-History-Giant (GHG

), such as yourself is, of course, very welcome!

BTW, might I ask how the definition of "Iopoliteia" and its implementation really should be? The description in the book I read was "fuzzy", to say the least.
