EB has always strived to set the table well, if you will, and let the players decide where to go from there. We give each faction a historical starting point and capabilities, and incent them to expand in ways that reflect their peoples' goals, but do not and will not force them to act historically. If everything were exactly the same I would find that very boring.

We feel we have the most historically accurate mod, but do not begrudge others their choices. We welcome civil discourse on the subject; this thread is not that. If you must introduce the RTW modding version of "My daddy can beat up your daddy" childishness I suggest doing it where people might care about it (the dead post graveyard?). Please do not do so here, we don't tolerate mod-bashing contests.

Please allow me to pass along a life lesson that may assist you when you are older: It is never a good idea to attempt to justify one's own mistakes by pointing out the real or perceived mistakes of others. It only drops your own credibility and makes you look bad.

(Note to self: Never have children.)
