    It’s how you treat people, that makes you an honourable person.
    Not how many battles you win.
    The glory of your victories will soon be forgotten.
    But the kindness and respect you show for others, will not.
    So is there really any honour in Total War games?
    No.
    But there is in some of it’s players…

    Constantinople was the biggest crossroad in medieval times.... It was a cultural, religios and economic centre.... That's why the Turks wanted it so much... And also, the Silk Road was passing through Constantinople....
    Ja mata, TosaInu. You will forever be remembered.

    Been to:

    Swords Made of Letters - 1938. The war is looming in France - and Alexandre Reythier does not have much time left to protect his country. A novel set before the war.

    A Painted Shield of Honour - 1313. Templar Knights in France are in grave danger. Can they be saved?

    The route that reaches Constantinople actually ends there Then, the trading fleets of the Mediterranean transport the goods further West and South, etc.

    You can consider the Levant as the crossroads of the ancient world pre-Rome also, being the place where Egyptian, Greek (and all the other Aegean-ers), and Mesopotamian-Persian cultures meet - and home to the seafaring Phoenicians.
