    Default One thousand and one (and more!) ways to kill a Roman.

    Roman haters RISE UP!

    There is something appealing, something appauling, something what I must say to you all, WE HATE ROMAIOI, DEATH TO THE ROMANI, SCORGE THEM ALL!

    BUT.

    Downright killing them is an act of the barbaroi. We are civillized sons of Hellas and Makedonia! We kill romans WITH STYLE (and delight).

    Brothers, let us begin our multitude of suggestions of killing those Italiote Barbaroi. =]

    But why do you hate them? Because they conquered your pet favourite faction in antiquity and took a few slaves?

    I'll bet your pet favourite faction was conquering and causing misery and slavery and committing attrocities way before Rome was ever more than just the city itself, just not on quite a grand scale as those cunning (and superior) fellows from Italy.

    I have a bad feeling about this.

    All factions are loved by someone and hated by someone else. I know there are many "Roman-Haters" around here, but now it's getting out of control. I don't love them too, but you're starting a hounding here, that's just pathetic.

    If this stupid thread is not going to be closed I will create a "One thousand and one ways to kill a Greek / Celt / Parthian ....." etc.

    Nothing personal against you, maybe like me, you also have a bad day today

    Wrong, at least according to the "Which faction do you hate the most?" poll Bactria and Hayasdan are being loved by all of us. ^^

    Someone, please, lock this thread.

    (< neither hates nor likes the romans or any other people. They're just a faction to play or an enemy to defeat, yes, even my favorite faction, the Pahlava)

    The first round of the tournament has started. Who's going to prevail?

    Gladius or Sarissa, Scutum or Aspis?

    I know there's a joke in here but a lot of people aren't getting it which just makes it uncomfortable for the most of us.

    So, boys... let's take this outside
    To settle the deal between Romans and Greeks once and for all... both Italy and Greece are in deep s*** at the moment. Do you really think who had the biggest spear in antiquity makes any difference?

    I personally has no hatred for Romans....

    But the best way to kill them is play Epeiros, and lead the Phyrrhos Akikades for conquering them.......

    OR....

    Try to teleport some stack of Seleucid/Ptolemaid army right into the countryside their beloved Rome..... I once do that when I play Baktria.... to keep the AS in peace with me.... but end up as the Seleucid conquer Italy and drive the Romans into Extinction...

    I apologize.


    Although perhaps you should have named the thread "One thousand and one [...] to kill the Romans" to avoid misunderstandings.

    I don't have anything against romans, but sence this is a 100 and 1 ways to kill a roman:

    we can kill them all Arab style: herd them into a river valley and drown them all! (just like Khalid Ibn al-waleed did at yarmouk)
