    HA and then these silly historians say the huns were primitive raiders, shows what they know. Something to think about, they never found cable in hun tombs, to me this is clear evidence that they had wireless internet as well.

    Yep, those BBC folks really can kick you right in the balls with their dummed-down nonsense sometimes. I was watching a program about Barbarians a couple of weeks ago where they collectively termed all gothic peoples as "germans".

    Genghis: Subudai, you there?
    Subudai: Yes, master!
    Genghis: Hey, check the 4G technology released in Japan. We need to invade it.
    Subudai: Yes sir! I shall prepare the ships right now.
    Genghis: Don't forget the new Mongolia M1000 with a 10 megapixel camera, so the world will see our military power.
    Ja mata, TosaInu. You will forever be remembered.

    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 wouldn't have used phones. I would have bribed my toughest enemies and showered those loyal to me with many prostitutes. Just like I'll be doing with my princesses in Medeival Total War: 2. (Women, please take no offense, this is sarcasm. Very hard to be sarcastic when writing)

    I have no witty comment to that but the Mongols could get a message from Korea to Poland in about 6 days. Compared to the rest of the world at that time, they practically invented internet.

    But did they use this message relay service to transport pictures of naked women drawn on parchment? "These Poles have an insatiable desire for hot Korean women. Order up more horse relay posts, we must keep the populace tame!"
