EB Demotivators

[Aemilius Paulus]

bah! I've fought worse. I fought the IBFD savaran using lakhmids, and won!

How?? The ~200/100/50 men a unit Savaran, or Sassanid cataphracts???

in IJ 3, the new version actually. thus, I'm reffering to the clibinarii (grivpanvar) that the sassanids used. they are absolute murder on everybody-even legionaries will be mauled by them, and they are the best infantry in the middle east, save the deylamites..

Ibrahim, who's that Sassinid prince that had a post in the Tang Court again?

[Rahwana]

A truely demotivating face

[Maeran]

This has been a funny thread. I've had this shot for a while now, but not known what to do with it.

Though it should have been a Roman Officer

No, because the Romans did not go into the steppes only to get mauled by the nomads repeatedly. That was the Makedonians and the Greeks which were constantly bloodied by the Skythians. Romans had their Parthians, but they were no longer nomads but a settled kingdom. And Mesopotamia is not a steppe. It is inaccurate to depict Romans in such a manner. The Romans, as inferior they were intellectually to the Greeks, apparently had more sense than to invade the nomads. Says something about the people, n'est-ce pas?

Nice one Maeran!!!

[Mikhail Mengsk]

Hellenos tried to invade Scythia? I didn't remember that.

Of course. Greeks and Makedonians regularly fought the Skythians, and even invaded them. Alexander sent a 45,000 man army, about the same he conquered the Persian Empire with, and it was utterly annihilated. It simply disappeared.

[MarcusAureliusAntoninus]

Please don't start the Rome vs. Greece fight again.

[Aemilius Paulus]

Please don't start the Rome vs. Greece fight again.

*points the finger at Vasily, who first started it*

I don't actually recall. I actually only bother with the sassanids up to the battle of nahavand, and after shapur II took to the throne. I don;t really care about the dynasty's survivors once they got their rears royally handed to them, first by Heraclius, then the Arabs.

that said, I'm not anti persian-those people were awesome

[K-Dogs]

HAS ANYONE REALLY BEEN FAR EVEN AS DECIDED TO USE EVEN GO WANT TO DO LOOK MORE LIKE?

At least you use your own jokes and don't copypasta old memes

[K-Dogs]

<3 anagrams

[Ibrahim]

<3 anagrams

I don't get this'n

[A Very Super Market]

"Bum rape our boar, ra" is an anagram for "Europa Barbarorum"

I haven't bothered to check it though, because it isn't too funny, or coherent of one.

[Prussian to the Iron]

i did a quick check; i think it works. not that funny though.

[Maeran]

Not for the boar, certainly.

[Prussian to the Iron]

did he say it was a heterosexual boar?


sorry, i had to take it :P

[Skullheadhq]

Don't get this thread locked with your stories about heterosexual boars
Meh, my demotivator with my comparisation Duke Nukem - EBII got deleted once, guess it was too demotivating

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

I like that one alot, it is simply so true - here have a baloon:

Alexander sent a 45,000 man army, about the same he conquered the Persian Empire with, and it was utterly annihilated. It simply disappeared.

Well that happens to all who attempt to invade the Steppes.

Really, just think about it - many great empires had made similar attempts:

- The persians under Darius the great - they simply couldn't force the Scythians to do battle and were grinded down slowly until they retreated.

- The greek and Makedonian campaigns - never got further then the Krim.


The romans may not have invaded the steppe but the Steppe peoples raided them several times (Goths, Huns etc.)
Strangely Alexandros had managed to defeat an army of Scythian Horsemen with his Makedonas at the river Jaxartes - unfortunatealy we don't know how he did it

[Watchman]

OTOH the Pontics apparently handed the nomads around the Crimea a beating at the behest of the local Greek colonies. Dunno what kind of army they did it with though, but one would assume cavalry and missile troops featured heavily in it.

[Atraphoenix]

not a bad one though just a low labour...

[Aemilius Paulus]

*runs and hides from the impending storm*

[TheStranger]

Great!

[antisocialmunky]

That's a good one lol. Most of the AARs die like 2-3 pages in, its true.

[Prussian to the Iron]

thats hilarious, especially how you worded it!
