    e: remember to say how you got into rome total war and why you chose EB!
    I'm just an average fulān (palestinian/ american one) out to have a historical experiance really. I started playing RTW partly out of interest in hellenistic warfare (i had already learned of AS, and wanted to experiance ruling a giant empire), but mainly beacuse of two things:

    1-the laptop I write on has enough memory(100GB+), so I figured i'd get a fitting game.
    2-It get's off thinking about someone I knew in highschool (the sig says it all)

    I started playing age 17, after I graduated highschool. and I installed the game on June 27, 2007 (8 o'clock), the day I got my laptop. I first had EB in september of 2007 (EB o.81), got 1.0 on october 12(1 o'clock in the afternoon), 1.1 by april 13 (4 in the afternoon), and 1.2 was downloaded just yesterday (two thirty in the afternoon).*

    as to why I got EB, that's a very funny story; you see, I had pretty quickly got mad at CA for the arcani, head hurlers, and yes, backwarded gauls. So, looking for a proper historical mod to do all factions justice, I went ahead and saw if the game could be modded. I found out it could, and that there was already an RTR mod out there. after getting the patches and installing it properly, I watched in horror as the game CTD'd while loading itself up. I later found that there was an unusual bug peculiar to the computer, which rendered any RTW 1.2 useless. So I went searching again for a more user friendly mod**, and found me this one. the rest is history.

    and you know what's funny: I hate smilies, yet I find them necessary for some reason

    *I have the unusual ability of remembering key dates, so I know when all was done. yes, all this is out of memory.

    **this is not an anti RTR story. that's just what happened.

    EDIT: I'm going into paleontology-screw what my parents say..
