Is that true that the EB team dislike Romans ?

[Reno Melitensis]

Hannibal was a great commander, but as was said on him, " He knew how to win a battle, but not how to win a war". To finish off the romans he needed to besiege and capture Rome, and that would have been a long struggle, knowing that the romans had a policy of no peace terms without total victory. Even if the Poeni would have send more aid to Hannibal, Rome's former allies would still not trust him and maybe with time would ally with Rome again, to kick the foreign invader out of Italia. Rome was choosen by the almighty God to earn its place in history, and history is written by the victor, hate him or love him.

Roma Victoria.
Long live the Emperor

Cheers.

You haven't heard of Hasdrubal & his defeat at Metaurus?

[TWFanatic]

Why hate? They didn't do anything to you.

Well, they actually did...modern society in most parts of the world would be far, far different had the Romans not conquered to the extent they did. Arguably for the worse. I think many people here are "joking" when they say they hate the Romans, simply because they wish other factions were more popular (and other reasons I don't understand).

How do you define "for the worse" when there is no possible way of thinking the alternatives or indeed of defining "good" in history?

Don't mind him - he's probably Italian

For the worse, as far as I can tell means "less like my own society."

[CaesarAugustus]

There's no real way of telling if a different society would be "worse", but I must agree that I definently love this Roman Western society we live in today... I cannot imagine how different a Carthaginian, (un-Romanized) Hellenistic, or *shudder* Celtic-dominated world would evolve into a modern society.

What do you mean by "a modern society" and why could this not have been achieved otherwise than through Roman domination?

[Philippus Flavius Homovallumus]

I've heard some people saying that is that right uh ?

No.

DO NOT post crap like that outside the backroom. You may find you offend people.

[Reno Melitensis]

No.

It was not my intention to harm anyone, if someone has been offended, I am very sorry. But can you tell me what have I written that can offend people, after all this is a post about who hate Romans, and who dont.

Cheers.

Why Chosen paticularly?

[Charge]

Why Chosen paticularly?

Because I can't see anything in that post that can OFFEND anybody here...

'cept those who think Hannibal the best, or Romans - scum.
--> in this cases PVC's post says :

"Do you hate romans?"
-"NO"

"Romans the best!"
- "I hate romans!" (or somebody here hate them)

stupid, isn't?

[Pharnakes]

Well, yes it is, but I still don't see what it has to do with ancient chiness/Koreans.

Don't bring your theological views into historical debates. It's bad form and it has the potential to spark a vicious flame war in very short order.

I dont think that EB team dislike Romans. I downloaded EB 1.0 a few weeks ago and playing as Roman im having lot of fun, i even can say that i ve never had so much fun in total war games as with EB.

Judging by the phallic thread, a mod should jump out at any moment now, delete all posts with "dutch" in it, and lock the topic

Well, next time you make a statement like you did use "the Almighty Jupiter" rather than "the Almighty God" since it's more likely to be taken as a bit of roleplay and less likely to irk the more sensitive of posters.
