You know your an EB nerd if...

[pezhetairoi]

...you keep a turn-by-turn detailed record of all actions fought, all casualty numbers per battle, all units recruited and building constructed, and have an A3-sized pencil hand-drawn EB 1.0 province map on your bedroom wall with your current empire shaded in on it and updated every day. And you refuse to refer to historical units by anything other than their native-language names, even with people who only know the english versions.

...I do all that, by the way. Many's the look of utter confusion I've gotten when I talk about 'hoplitai' and 'phalangitai' and 'gaeroas' and 'principes'. Priceless.

[Cyclops]

...Priceless.

Yes, extraordinarii.

[[EB]Demulon]

...you acknowledge that, although you many not be charismatic or vigorous, four years in a center of high learning will likely give you positive traits for the future.

...you grow a beard and long hair to resemble your Celtic ancestors.

[PigLatin]

...you can't watch TV with your RTW hating girlfriend without keeping a pen and paper handy to scribble out notes of army composition and strategy.

It's amazing I still get layed!
