lol, don't bring the silly TWC debate here.
Google is in now way a good mean to find accurate, historical informations.

The fact you don't find something on google doesn't mean this thing is fake

[cunctator]

I don`t think you will find reconstructed ancient names written in latin letters in the internet. Why not trust the EB team if they have some ancient language experts?

[Mongoose]

just because something does not come up on google does not mean it's false

I'm not mad...i just like using larger letters


EDIT: woops, some one beat me to it...

[The Wizard]

The internet is a good source now? Maybe for your average book report you need to deliver tomorrow, while you haven't ever heard of the book before you looked in your agenda...

But for historical information? Specific historical information such as is needed for a mod for a game mostly concerned with military matters? Ancient texts and art? Etymology and anthropology on ancient peoples and languages?

No. The internet is a good source for your average school history project, such as "Alexander the Great did this and then did that and this is why" (even the last part being doubtful), but not for the historical accuracy we're looking for.

Now, littlegannon, I'd like to see your sources. We cannot take you seriously if you do not present them.

Oh crap. I just entered my grandma's name into google, and there were no hits. I better call her right now and tell her she doesn't exist. And anyone who says she does, well i think u just want to mess around with me adn you are teh liars.

When one EB member was corned by reporters on the third story floor of a building he jumped screaming out of a window to his death"

Those disgusting reporters will do anything for a story.

Alternatively, for a quick search, you can go out and ask randomly to anyone you see in the street:

- "Tsorim! What do you think? Answer!"

-"Huh?"


-"Are you insulting me?"


-"Ok, I'm out at 7"


-"No, thanks, I got one yet"


-"Besides, a quick search on Google just gave us this:"


- "Demonstrated: Tsorim does not exist! TV says so!"


Long live the mass media access to culture...

[Big_John]

i think gannon is just kidding.


i hope anyway....

[Mongoose]

Or should we say "Gannoix"?

EDIT: cornered was what i meant! i think i'll leave it...

[ENSAIS]

Sorry guys,
I finally am gonna break the seal for this one. I would humbly like to applaud Dux Corvanus' last post. Truly fun stuff.

The "man on the street" routine takes the cake.

"Ma'am, what do you think of ancient proto-Germanic languages?"
"Huh? Is it fattening?"

ANyway, I felt like adding my defacation to the collective pile. Thanks again.

You have to remove the vowels as Punic script has none.

Hey, and it's googled too! Whad'ya know, it's *real*......

Everyone knows that if it's not on Google it never happened!

[Lord Tomyris Reloaded]

the game before was very true to history other than parthia

Yeh, I mean- everyone knows the green Romans employed secret-service ninjas, Egyptian chariots were kings (or pharoahs, as you will) of the road c.270 BC, a good ole British clean-out involved chucking their collected heads* onto some other poor sod's turf, and about 50% of most armies were composed of dogs and women (though often it was hard to tell which was which- then again the same could be said of the men and the pigs- though only one was used in Greek barbeques of the period. I think.).

*Which apparantly held the soul of the person decapitated. Whoever owned the head would own the soul, and thus earn a slave in both this life and the next. Ah, let's be lenient and give those slaves to our enemies instead, eh?

Gannon,
I hate to break it to you, but unless your name is Bob gannon, or Jeff gannon, then you dont excist. Im very sorry for you, but your not real...

Not to talk about... (gasp) ..."Spanish bull warriors"... (gulp)...

[jerby]

[Mongoose]

Also, the celts called themselves barbarians and spoke english...

[jerby]

and Greeks have a texan accent...

Damn...

Chuck Norris in "Walker Spartan Ranger", wouldn't that be cool?

Greek commander: Ya'll attack that fort, you hear?
Greek soldier: Thats a good plan, i tell you what.

[Sarcasm]

The sad part is that I would watch that show.

I second this statement.

[Ianofsmeg16]

I've never posted on this thread before, but i've been reading it and....
**takes on an accent like will smith** DAMN... made me laugh out loud, and is it just me or has somebody got there facts wrong, would you take your sling into the middle of the parthian desert and wear some pink speckled trousers?...hmmmmm well, saying that i'm going to see a link form google saying "antique pink speckled parthian trousers found, scientists puzzeld"

And thats (as you americans would say) my two cents
btw no offence if i insulted anybody, just thought i'd go with the crowd

[General_Sun]

Those are real mate. :D

[Ranika]

God how I hate 'headhurlers'. Yeah, that's accurate. I spend the first ten years of my career as a soldier killing my tribe's enemies, narrowly avoiding death, probably having been grievously injured at least a few times, and all the while I collected the heads of my enemies that I strived to kill, nearly dying, myself, in the process. Yeah, really realistic that I'll just chuck a religious object and war trophy at my enemy. I've apparently collected so many heads, I just don't think I'll need that many slaves in the afterlife, so I'll try and share. Bleeding hell that's stupid.

That is the same "exact" thing I was thinking when I first saw the "head hurlers"

[Mongoose]

How about "suicide head hurlers"? They pull their own head off and have a friend chuck it at the enemy!

[Jebus]

Hush, don't give Al Quaeda any ideas!

A similar idea to my gaesatae eunuchs. A rain of bloody phalluses are sure to break the most sturdy formation of brave men...

"What's that? Aaaagh! It's stuck on my shield, take it out, take it out, yuck! Yikes!" "It's fallen on my face...!!! (sound of vomit)"
