    Default An Irish protest

    Possibly wasting my time with this one but as it is Saint Patricks day I would like to protest against the decision to reduce EBII Ireland to a single province centred on Tara.

    I would like to protest on the grounds that traditionally Ireland was divided into two regions during this period. Secondally the archaeology at Emain Macha/Navan is far more substantial than at Tara Hill. I know the team will not change their minds about Ireland but considering that there has been a longstanding difference between Northern and Southern Ireland (and im talking about a long long standing difference going back to the Mesolithic not just 1920) the decision to treat the island as a single culturally homogenous zone is innaccurate.

    I just wanted to voice my thoughts.

    Errr...did you even read the Pritanoi preview?

    1. Navan Fort is the capital of the region.
    2. Ireland is not one province, the south and west are part of the Eremos province.

    Well, while I don't really care how many regions they use to represent Ireland (due to its isolated position and lack of playable faction), I really doubt that representing part of it with Eremos, an unconquerable region, will satisfy this guy. :)

    Saint Patrick, in all his holiness, knows that Ireland should be one province.

    Like Brennus said be careful about making such comments, there are a lot of people with very strong feelings on the issue.

    So Ireland the land of heroes is not unified ? Just curious.

    Any subject should be and will be discussed. We live in a Democracy (or is the Netherlands the only country where you can do such things ? I am sure not) with freedom of speech even though it will rise some eyebrows.
    Medieval times are over! And on top of that its was an Irishman who started this topic.

    But what if the Romans decided to have look over there would all the Irish people stand United ?

    I think you are looking for a hidden meaning that isn't there. I was only only referring to EB.
