    But CA had planned in advance on a counter for this unit and introduced the screaming woman. Apparently these history geeks spend countless hours in the books and when flashed boobies from these screamin woman are stunned just long enough for these fictitious units to destroy these anti-fantasy spellcasters.


    And what ya gonna do when your in the gamelobby and run across this ..... WOOT WOOOT I just got RTW, these Egyptians just look so cool I have to try them out WWWOOOOOOOOT WWWOOOOOOOOOOT. Alright who wants a 1 on 1 game with me. The game starts and you have 20 units of anti-fantasy spell catsers and to your surprise you see 20 full units of legionaires barreling down at you.

    I would be an anti-whiner juggernaught of destruction and no mercy. I mock people who take themselves too seriously with my l33t haxx0r skillz. Baiting them into a battle they can never win, namely with teh l33t talk. Grammar wars are the most pointless and weakest way to attack someone online. People who nitpick grammar generally don't have enough intelligence to pick up on something else, and in the act of attacking someones grammar make grammar errors themselves thus they fall into the old black, kettle and all that.

    I came to the realization a very long time ago, that because someone uses the now common abreviations or net slang does not make them less intelligent than you are. Moreso the whole speaking clearly ettiquete is total rubbish for wannabe snobs. I've run into people infinitly more intelligent than anyone on these forums that type online like "doot ur so sux lolzerz", meanwhile they are working on a theoretical physics phd at MIT or something else way over my head.

    So please, stop living in your glass house mocking people you know absolutely nothing about. This forum is populated by a bunch of people giving each other reach arounds with their "properly done ole chap hohoho, you sure showed them, quite right quite right!". Reminds me of the deep south, you know deliverance and all that. It's unfortunate, I used to actually enjoy reading these forums back in the day, no wonder the place is stagnating, its an old boys club where the "smurtest" guys on the block run off anyone who doesnt conform to their style. The sad thing is, the most intelligent people i've had the pleasure of reading are all on the .com.

    So I say, bring on the British Cataphract Woad Camel Raiding Head Hurlers. If CA throws a few more units like that in, this extremely small, overly vocal and hugely whiney crowd might pack up and leave. That'd be a good thing for everyone involved.

    Wow. Did Oaty strike a nerve?

    Im afraid i have to i have to side with the historical accuracy people here, if your trying to make a SIMULATION of battles in Roman times you have to have the correct units involved or its not a true simulation and therfore it is claming to be somthing its not.

    Im not saying these units will make the game bad, they will just take away some of the atmosphere and realisim of the game.

    In order to counter the increased threat from the Historical nitpicker CA have retaliated with the Flaming Fanboy Unit!

    These childish units are devastating to the anti-fantasy units, proclaiming flaming pigs and other fantasy units to be gospel and any argument against them to be heresy, these fanatical teenagers tire out the historical units in ceaseless flaming and personal attacks until both units fatigue is exausted and they withdraw.

    Strong argument.

    These annoying and rather disliked units are specialized in agreeing with any descision made by CA. They tend to be ignored by all but people involved in the marketing of games.

    Stage two, we say something may be about to happen, but we should do nothing about it.
    Stage three, we say that maybe we should do something about it, but there's nothing we can do.
    Stage four, we say maybe there was something we could have done, but it's too late now.

    Every one just needs a big group hug... here.
    In keeping with that topic, there's a new unit. Yes, the dreaded Hippie Hugger!
    This unit can be devesating to enemy moral. With waist lenght hair, long robes and or tye dye clothing, this unit goes around hugging and flashing peace signs to all units. Enemies will suffer a huge moral penalty, since after getting hugged they no longer want to fight. However, your own units may end up not wanting to fight either.

    These units strike fear into all units. While some support one camp or another, they attack all units without mercy, including the Historical Nitpickers. However, they are doubley effective against Annoying n00bs and Flaming Fanboys who curse at people without cause.

    Significant Other
    To some this is the most powerful and feared unit that can be encountered. Capable of destroying time and entire worlds, many leaders know that end of their rule is near when the Significant Other is sighted or heard approaching.

    Vicious verbal attack
    Seduction ability
    Sometimes allied with the equally feared Mother In Law

    Sorry A.Saturnus. I guess I didn't want to state the obvious.
