[Evil_Maniac From Mars]

You close your eyes and see little phalanxes.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

This actually happened to me.

[InsaneApache]

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

[The Wizard]

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

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

or you use a monster truck and go through cars during a trafic jam.

[Glaucus]

...you wonder how many kids you need to have before you can build an imperial palace.

[UltraWar]

You revive this great topic!

[Avicenna]

When you start making posts in the 'Evil CA' thread concerning LotR and RTW.

[UltraWar]

You plan to take your country through Civil War

[Patriarch of Constantinople]

[Patriarch of Constantinople]

[Craterus]

... when you buy a dog and tell it to charge your sister

That reminds me.

I tried to make some cats act as a cavalry unit.

[Cowhead418]

When you walk down the hallways of your high school and evaluate each male you see as a potential soldier for your army...

[The Spartan (Returns)]

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...

[The Spartan (Returns)]

time for me to contribute: you listen to RTW music (which im doing right now)
you only download Vercengetorix's IDX extraxtor just to listen to RTW music (not modding)

[Comrade Alexeo]

...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.

[Divinus Arma]

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.

[Somebody Else]

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...

[The Spartan (Returns)]

I watched Gladiator and Troy. But not Alexander

[Drisos]

When you feel a sudden despise towards people like this (I don't know the english name):

When you suddenly rather invite people to your place instead of visiting them.

When you try to use pause when your life is chaotic for a moment.

When you walk down the street you feel the need to blow it up in order to minimalize the rest some 'badguys' come out of their house to attack you.

gah..

[The Spartan (Returns)]

you wanted Italy to win in the World Cup.
youre addicted to BI if you wanted France to win the world cup. (gauls,franks)
you told Italy to form a testudo when Zidane headbutted one of the players.
you fell a sense of power when you hear the word Rome or say the word Rome.

[macsen rufus]

[The Spartan (Returns)]

you want to read historical Roman fiction books. such as the Emperor series.

[Avicenna]

Surely you want a triarii phalanx TS?

...when you wonder why Hungary has managed to stay independent after being surrounded, landlocked and having less-than-easy-to-defend borders. (if they stopped expanding at that major river at the edge of the Roman empire it could be fortified )
...when you think that the French should have fortified their whole borders to discourage an attack in WWII.
...when you think Hitler should have just plonked his army onto a U-Boat and unload it on the other side of the French border in one turn.
...when you do not understand why the Europeans are leaving so many rebel city-states untouched.

[The Spartan (Returns)]

we can always play EB for that.

[Goalie]

When you have the cost of every Roman unit and the cost of each upgrade memorized and you spend half the time while not playing the game experimenting mentally what a good 15k or 12.5k army would be.
