    I don't get it is there some inside joke going on around this forum about the Romani? Many posts all over the forum say how the author hates Romani and can't wait to destroy them or is disappointed because they do not get a chance to fight them in their current campaign.
    Am I missing something here? Am I the only one who doesn't start campaigns with animosity towards certain factions?

    Some people at this forum actually hate Romans, some do it as an inside joke. For some reason there is a lot of Romani bashing around here. When I was new to forums, it really annoyed me, but after some time I got used to it, also some of the "haters" actually were playing a Romani campaign in the meanwhile, as it was an inside joke between people, not actual hate.

    Edit: I can predict some of the posts following will include some of these things:
    - Rome (or "Barbaropolis") must burn
    - All hail Makedonia
    - Some way to torture or kill romans
    - A creepy person telling how he burns Rome and then a bulge starts forming in his pants.
    - Something in the context above....

    Strange, I never read one like that before or am I missing something?

    It is all rather a kind of "all forum joke" by most.

    Backt to topic: does anyone find the lusotanni boring? I mean even if you manage to unite all of Iberia you can hardly go outside of it succesfully...

    No wonder. The hellenes form the fanatic core of the romaioktonoi - although there are many joking ones among them aswell.
