forgetting any voicemods?

Just to add my worthless two cents:

Nothing has any intrinsic value, nothing. When it comes to something as subjective as "what we find interesting" finding any justification is totally pointless, we simply have to accept the fact that we have different opinions and can't do anything about it. And even if one viewpoint is supported by the majority it makes no difference because reality simply isn't consensus. The cultural collective in which we live in influences these values and might even define them to a certain point, but it's important that we dont't become solipsistic and actually believe them to be true.

So just stop this pety debate that amounts to intellectual masturbation at best, no nation is more worthy of representation than another, the best choice is to choose factions where their culture can be expressed accurately, and Armenia fills that criterion.

Feel free to flame if you find this post annoying.

I see you are trying to stay neutral here and to say that this is all pointless. Which is all fine with me, but then at the very end, you start praising the greatness of Armenia. So I hardly call you neutral and your post was fine until you contradicted yourself at the end.

Umm...

At least in my opinion that doesn't amount to praise really. Try replacing Armenia with Rome.

Equally true isn't it?

Yes, but remember you said Armenia, not Rome originally. If you want to avoid mistakes like this just say both next time I guess.

Well, I said that factions that could be historically accurately portrayed should be present, Rome should be a no-brainer on that one and since people were talking about the insignificance of Armenia I thought that I'd have to mention it separately in order to get the message through. Apparently yeah I'll have to mention everything in the future in order to prevent people from going on with their arguments.
