unconciously

This is the first time I've seen a misspelled word in a CF post.

After the hundreds of thousands of words I've put in TW products, the fingers are getting tired. And hey! I'm only getting sleep in three or four hour chunks at the moment, thanks to my very young son!

Ouch... I knew there was a catch somewhere! Good luck raising your new addition to the family. I am confident in that he will make an excellent faction heir!

And to everyone reading this thread and / or trying to carry out a serious discussion, I'm deeply sorry about myself leading the thread off-topic.

Have mercy on my soul please!

Wow, can you tell us the traits of your son? I mean besides Blabbermouth (a trait that is inherited from the father).

Now, can you explain why the nails used to pin Jesus' left hand are bad for unrest? Is the left hand cursed or something (damnation, I'm lefthanded)?

Aha. I've remembered now. Originally there were proper relics and relics that were being passed off as genuine. Also at one point we separated out unrest into three religious flavours, so that it was possible to increase Christian order at the same time as really upsetting the Zoroastrians. These distinctions and detail, however, definitely began to look far too complicated and fiddly and were therefore dropped from the final version. Be thankful for this, as trying to manage three lots of unrest was not fun, it was painful.

That does sound... ehm rather problematic, so I'm quite thankful with all the problems I faced with unrest early on.

So the lefthanded nails are false relics? Damn... I just seem to get them all the time. Unfair that I get the single false relic all the time. I mean there are 6 other true relics but no, I have to get the bad one.

Yes, that is a supersition. But it's not cursed it's just the devil hand. As Lucifer was the left hand of god and Gabriel was the right.

Personally I think the "Made in Sarmatia" stamped on the side of the nail should have been a dead give away that it was a False Relic.

Son of a gun. EB has a few of these in development since the spring that we thought would be a neat new thing to bring to the game. I specialize in Pausanias, and he mentions some relics like the spear of Achilles and the temple it was located in as well as some other ones. That sort of thing. But the 3rd century BC is not littered with very many of them, so we had only gotten some greek ones.

Well, it seems quite appropriate for the BI period too. Good thinking guys.

Glad folks are enjoying them.
