    Fluvius always blitzes, you know that. To each their own style. Seems he is intent on a new record for Romani, last one was 192 BC, should be breakable with this situation.

    Wonder what the team member had smoked though

    Umm well I am not after a speed record, this is how I enjoy the game. This is the same campaign I showed finished half a year ago. I was just cleaning up my picture folder and came accross this and just had to ask.

    If I was after the speed record I wouldnt even reach 200BC. But come on, I am not after speed, I roleplay; FMs have a personal life, accomplsish in politics and hate other FMS, I just cant enjoy streams of full stacks. So when a faction attacks me out of the blue, they die.

    But this thread is about the trait not my conquering, for that go comment on the pictures in the album on my profile and comment on my strategies there or whatever, this is about a cheesy Seleucid....

    you can search for it. It gives -3 Infl. and then there is Abokasix -3 Infl. again, but I afair, they are even higher levels of another bad trait.
    If you don't know what Abokasee is, I will be cruel aswell and don't tell you because I think you've been around the .org for a while and if you don't know about the mythical of Abkasee, you probably don't belong here...

    Abokasee is the fourth level of Aponenoemenos (- Nonsensical)

    απονενοημένος does not mean nonsensical.

    The "cheese oracle" trait was coded in by no other than one of our greatest members, Teleklos Archelaou. It was an actual way for the oracles back then to make predictions about the future.

    Anything for a buck if you ask me. Ancient Oracles are difficult to understand until you realize this. They'd go the extra mile to get your money. (And then hide it somewhere, for it to be discovered in the future-by Archaeologists).

    Not unlike modern oracles, then. Astrology-hotlines are big business nowadays.

    I've seen a lot of "divination" tachniques that make me wonder if the "inventors" were on something.

    this particular means of telling the future (an impossibility when using "divination") convinces me that its "inventor" was almost certainly on LSD.

    No LSD back then. I know it must be difficult to comprehend in this day and age, but there are people who never used drugs and never will.

    What are you talking about? That people do more drugs nowaday than in earlier days? Sounds very speculative to me.

    Plus, they definetly had hallucinogenic drugs.

    lol, Speculations, speculations... Amerindians did use extensivly hallucinogen drugs back then... why not them? I remember i've read in the genialisimus (yeah, word of mine!!!) book ''celtic history and dictionnary'' from Venceslas Kruta, that the keltic did used drugs, both for hallucinations (that's their phones to call the gods...) and to ''feel no pain'', so they could run naked in front of even the mighty roman legions! though at the end, it didn't worked as they wished!

    well guys : :backtotopic:

    there was LSD back then, or a similar chimical. its found in Urgot*, a fungus that affects crops. eat the crop, and you get a free trip

    of course it was an accidental high, but the point is they had access to LSD or similar drugs

    besides, there were plenty of drugs back then; as one example, Opium was HUGE in the classical world iirc. the plant that they used for it came from cyprus, and was exported to the various parts of the known world as early as the bronze age.

    and besides, even if LSD and Opium weren't in Use, people still drank

    now back to topic.

    *did I misspell that?

    Cool Re: Who made this great trait?

    Well, considering that a lot of drugs were, in the beginning of their use, medical drugs (cocaine in the XIX century, opioids in early chinese dinasties, etc), I can't stop from thinking in how many other experiments with different substances happened during these times ...

    Cheers
