    Regards to destroying other cultures and backstabbing treaties, that's a human thing, not Roman
    But them Romaioi did it the more (and became an empire...), hence they are the True-Barbaroi.

    I don't hate romaioi- barbaroi. As a matter of fact, i read a lot about them and i have respect for their "will to power". Anyway i kill them... tons and tons of them... i'm a Carthaginian for gods sake!




    Down to your knees, Romans!

    Ck Ck Ck.... so you ask about Romaioktonoi? well, it was really just for fun, and we are more "alternative hisroty fan" in the world when the Romaioi didn't conquer the world.

    Well, next semester I was no longer the admin of our bloved inorganic lab network, so I will try to promote you as the next admin, so we can still play multiplayers, giving our crappy internet connection, to mention that TW multiplayers eat up most bandwidth. I'm affraid if the next admin is not game lovers, he will delete most of my games.

    Welcome to the forums Sonic!

    Well as many have said so far this whole Romani-Killing/Hating started as a Joke between Satalexton and Maion. At first I also found it strange, but when I got things clear I joined.

    The Romaioktonoi are not just Hellenes but are of many cultures, (the Hellenes are just the most prominent/leading Members). Among the Romaioktonoi I myself represent the Nomads above all even if I am a Hellene fan (thats why I am in the Makedonia group aswell).

    I for one never liked the fact that I have to spare and "baby-sitt" the Romani if I'm playing as any faction whoes reforms are tied to the MOT (march of time) and also have to tolerate them building a Huge city in Italy (I like to make sure all cities in my realm are of my factions culture). I don't claim that the romani were the inventors of deciete, betrayel, and brutality. There "wish for power and will to fight for it" is something I find worth to take as an example for policy in EB and/or any TW game.

    And as many have stated already, some prominent members of the group are writing AARs (very good ones by the way) and also write nice poems (to see those join the group).

    As much as I know we haven't derailed any thread so far. Also most of us are lovers of many forms of alternative History and we also wish to show that the past could have been different. Pluss most of us find this "Romani centeredness/overjudgement" a bit too much.
