    Default You know your an EB nerd if...

    Seeing as so many people seem to be putting life on hold for the new release of EB. i think it is an appropriate time to make a list of the nerdiest things you have done pertaining to EB, maybe if we get some good ones ill make a pole and we can crown the nerdiest nerd of us all!

    Mine:
    I have EB music on my iTunes and i even made an album art for it which can be found here . just save that to the desktop go to iTunes, highligh all your EB songs, right click then go to Get info and click on the album art empty space and find the picture you downloaded! wahlla! nerdy iTunes!

    ...If you actually panic and believe the jokes posted by the EB team about them 'cutting down' the unit roster in 1.0, and then proceed to go into self-imposed mourning

    Oh! And if you start to actually learn how people insulted one another in ancient languages (Big thanks to all the people who contributed to that thread!)

    It's fairly common, and quite romantic if done right:

    ...you already have your EB 1.0 clean install ready, just to remove that extra 10 minutes of copying.
    ...thinking about it some more, you guess you probably would just use your original clean install without copying it at all if EB 1.0 was out and you had forgotten to copy.

    You won't believe me, but I click the exterminate button just to hear that sound. Of course shouting the above lines whenever I win.

    You an EB, when instead of relaxing and waiting for sleep to come, you consider the impact your Romani attack on Spain from Africa is going to have (long one, happened to me. Bloody Cartage!)

    ...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.

    Default AW: You know your an EB nerd if...

    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.
