    okay, i know that's how a classical latin speaker would pronounce the "ce" in macedon, but i guess i'm just wondering, how do greeks refer to the region? and what about thrace? i guess a roman would pronounce it "trakay" (with a rolled "r") with it current spelling, but what about the greek pronunciation - and not necessarily as we spell it today?

    Greek today is quite a bit different from ancient greek (while 'b' is infact pronounced 'v' now it was pronounced as our 'b' back then), so there are parts that we simply don't know how they pronounced. I'm not sure if Thrace is part of that, but since the romans took more than just a lot from the greeks in terms of regional names (among others) I think it is safe to say that the roman name is fitting enough. And since greek has a 'ch' letter a 'k' letter and an 's' letter it is safe to guess that if the romans even just copied the written greek name for Thrace it would sound right.

    I actually think that while the guys are ok, they are just a bit too dorky for my liking. Particulary nusbacher. While his commentary and his analysis is good. The running amok bit at the end with a (cannot remember the people that use them in casinos) stick really gets my goat.

    Still I love the show, even though I cringe a lot. What would be better is if Nusbacher and other tacticians or Generals were playing each other. Now that would be interesting.

    It is amazing that this games engine can give so much entertainment.
