    Good boy.

    I'm sending you a PM now.
    Ja mata, TosaInu. You will forever be remembered.

    Proud

    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?

    I'm happy with the grammar in this description, but should I call Parthian "Pahlava" instead? Is there a more appropriate name for Great Wall of China and Caspian Sea?

    {land1_roman} Varkana Drubustih
    {land1_roman_desc}
    The Hyrkanian Defensive Wall\n\nThe Parthian Dynasty built this monumental construction over earlier Acheamenid defense works to protect Parthia from the invasions of the northern nomad tribes. It is one of the most outstanding and gigantic architectural monuments in history, second only to the Great Wall of China as the largest defensive wall in the world. The wall begins at the Caspian coast, circles to the north of Gonbade Kâvous, continues northwest, and vanishes behind the Piškamar Mountains. It is 100 miles long and roughly 20 to 30 feet wide. Forty fortresses were spaced at intervals of 6 to 30 miles so any one fort could provide assistance to another in times of need.\n\nSTRATEGY: Population growth bonus: -0.5 (Sauromatae and Yuèzhi)

    Good question. Let me post that in the Pahlava Thread to see if someone there wants to take a crack at a better version.

    It would be nice if someone would write a guide listing the names of places and people in the proper ancient languages.

    I went to Washington D.C. and saw all the museums and monuments and memorials. Didn't see many hills or any beaches, but I had a good time.
