If you grab a knife from your kitchen drawer, wear your mother's jewelry around your neck and arms, put a pot on your head, and then proceed to sprint across the neighborhood in your birthday suit screaming "Basbh basbh basbh!!" to anyone nearby.........
.........
........Not that I've ever done that...

...You instinctively reach for your javelin when you see elephants at the zoo.

...You realize that you actually have a javelin on you.

Seriously, it seems like every unit and his grandma has Javelins in EB.

Thinking that Indo-Norse would be more badass than the Baktrians and then going on and drawing there units .

If you think "no, just another turn" instead of "no, just another five minutes of sleep" when you wake up in the morning, not yet awake and still dreaming of moving around your stacks in the mountainous north.

If you think of strategies for securing the Balkans while you take a walk in the city.

If you can tell what Doryphoroi Pontikoi are, or the difference between a Thureos and an Aspis.

Or you instinctively move your hand towards you and to the right when you finish something. The elephant thing was a joke but I have done this on several occasions.

Why not? It's was an affordable weapon, and what's against taking a shot at an enemy before he's in swordrange? If you are lucky, you can kill him outright or at least disable his shield. At worst, you can answer his javelins, because if he brought them and you have not, you'll either have to charge through the barrage or hide behind your shield and hope they don't have brought spare ones.

...if you hear a voice in your head constantly saying "Thureophoroi" over and over again as you try to perfect your pronouciation of it.

...you have installed the modesty patch to test the affects on campaign and battle AI
...when you scan large amounts of text, your eyes naturally search for the Foot, and you subconsciously regard the text around it as insightful, meaningful and worth reading
...whenever your brain sits idle, you hear phrases like "create a small but successful empire" and "rebuild the west flank (of the Rhein fortifications)"

**grudzio** · 10-08-2007, 22:26

... when you play another game and try to activate EB Campaign Script.

I have developed a nasty habit of muttering "what to do about the Greeks?" when my mind is elsewhere. I really must stop it before anyone hears.

You're an EB nerd if you insist on a Triumph. Or offer a prayer to Zeus.

I still say it wrong....

For some reason, even though I know Thwerafera is wrong, it's still how I say it in my head.

I will get it right eventually....

.. when you get great marks in geography and history (fantastic

)

..when you start judging foreigners with EB units. (hey your from pontus? Your Generals cavarly is a joke.)
(Hey your from France? Is there lots of Gaestatae in Paris?)

..when you start giving real life person traits
(Mr Bob are Sharp Chrismatic and Vigrous. But he has evil mother in law.)
