You think it is disrespectful if someone does not complement you by saying "You are the best unit your faction has to offer."
You go out on the street and offer people map information in exchange for an alliance against those filthy Julii."
After you tell your neighbors they are making to much noise you offer them a written treaty that declares a ceasefire. In small print it says: Accpet or we will attack.

Lol, Agreed. Although the one about "seige battles" was also rather amusing.

U look at a picket fence and think/shout: "Lower your spears, phalanx formation!"

When crossing a bridge you look nervously around for any onagers on the other side.

... you wish your car could do what elephants can do to your army while in a traffic jam.

You make fun of the resident school genius for missing a Mediterranean geography question on a test.

This happened to me... I made so much fun of a person who said Crete was east of Athens...

...you flunk a Roman History test when you mention Rome's 1337 Praetorian and Legionary Cavalry.

...you flunk a Roman History test when you mention the Scipii and Brutii families.

...you flunk a Roman History test when you mention how even three whole stacks of Wardogs couldn't stop British Head Hurler's from slaughtering Roman Arcani during the great Battle of Londinium in 227 BCE.

...you flunk a Roman History test when you don't study, reminding yourself that if it goes bad, you can just reload and the teacher won't give the test and instead return to his home for a nap.

...you can accurately describe, draw, and spell "lorica segmentata" - but you still can't pronounce it correctly.

...you watch Gladiator and wonder why the Germans aren't using Nightraiders and Gothic Cavalry.

...you watch Troy and bitch about how the Trojan's Eastern Infantry didn't rout faster.

...you watch Alexander. Period.

...you've tried making pointless (from a gameplay persepective) historical battles with the editor, just for the hell of it - like Thermopylae.

...you create an entirely new skeleton and animations just so Screeching Women can have their boobs jiggle.

...you get arrested after yelling out "I WANT TO SEE BLOOD! I WANT TO BATHE IN THEIR BLOOD! I WANT TO BATHE IN THEIR BLOOD FOR A WEEK! NOW, KILL THEM ALL!"

during your little brother/sister's soccer/baseball/curling game.

And lastly...

...you think the British are annoying, Germany is composed of bloodthirsty maniacs, France is pathetically weak, Spain is divided between crazy barbarians and cocky snob's and don't really care, Russia is full of BS, Africa is too much trouble for its worth, the Arab countries are full of people who dress funny and have weird names, and Egypt needs to be crushed quickly before they take Jerusalem.

you dream of the damn battle map and the march up to the actual fight. I always do this after an 18 hour RTW or VI binge session.

I dunno about anyone else, but my map of Europe is about 2000 years old - if someone tells me they come from X Italian city, for instance, I ask them what the Roman name was...
