    Here it is in full:This is the actual radio conversation of a US plane with Canadian authorities off the coast of Newfoundland in October 1995. Radio conversation released by the chief of naval operations, 10-10-95.

    CANADIANS: Please divert your course 15 degrees to the south to avoid a collision.

    AMERICANS: Recommend you divert your course 15 degrees to the north to avoid a collision.

    CANADIANS: Negative. You will have to divert your course 15 degrees to the south to avoid a collision.

    AMERICANS: This is the captain of a US Navy ship. I say again, divert YOUR course.

    CANADIANS: No, I say again, you divert YOUR course.

    AMERICANS: This is the Aircraft Carrier US LINCOLN, the second largest ship in the United States Atlantic Fleet. We are accompanied with three Destroyers, three Cruisers and numerous support vessels. I DEMAND that you change your course 15 degrees north. I say again, that's one-five degrees north, or counter-measures will be undertaken to ensure the safety of this plane.

    CANADIANS: This is a lighthouse. Your call.

    Couldn't they destroy the lighthouse anyway? Just fire a missile at it or something?

    The militia cavalry saved me a few times in the early game, two units of htem working together can really devestate the AI. Thrace has a difficult run in the first part of the game (Pontus, Scythia, Dacia, Macedon, The Greek Cities and the Brutii all can attack you within five turns), but if you can tech up their later forces are pretty brutal. Phalanxes plus heavy shock troops = bad for just about anyone.

    The Canadian/American story is actually a myth. Check Snopes.

    It's funny, though.

    My favourite elite unit is my general. Ride to glory! I know you all are immortals, it just takes time for resurruction.

    Though I would really, REALLY like if I would have a general's bodyguard unit as a group of elephants...

    Imagine: AN ARMY OF (GENERALS) RECHARGABLE ARMORED ELEPHANTS!

    A unit dsnt have to be elite because of its stats it can also be elite if you use it right
