    Exclamation Alkibiades Returns!

    Following the example of a couple of previous other members posting their historical figures, I present to you Alkibiades:


    A shame he is in the wrong time. And place. Or the faction for that matter. Then again, he was always a rebel at heart. I just hope his Lesbos expedition does not turn out like his Sicilian one !! It is also a shame he only has 3 stars. So guys, should I do my best to bribe him, or should I see what he does to the Maks? That Makedonian fleet has a fullstack in it BTW.

    Ehm... That's cenrtainly not the Alkibiades of the Peloponnesian Wars, Aemilius. I think you got things a little mixed up...

    I thought the point of this thread was to find EB characters that have names of real historical characters...maybe I was wrong and AP does think he's the real deal...

    That would suggest it is a different one. Names were not limited to one person, after all, and Iphikrates apparently was one of the more common Greek names.

    Italians do it better! Chi dice donna dice guai. Abbi donna di te minore, se vuoi essere signore. Donne e buoi dei paesi tuoi. Fiume, grondaia e donna parlatora mandano l'uomo di casa fuora.
    And my personal favorite: "Non rimuovere il confine antico fissato dai tuoi padri". In english: "Do not remove the anchent border placed by your fathers". It looses something in the translation......

    Let me guess, He hired a bunch of Gaesatae Spartiatai and went about kicking, Pontus, Hayasdan, and Pahlava into giant holes?

    I remember bribing that Alkibiades dude in my Epeiros campaign. He went on to govern Byzantion for at least 20 years before dying of old age. He was really boring, not at all like his historical namesake. I never could get him to marry and have kids though...

    Get a nice victory with him so he becomes man of the hour and then develop him further!!

    I also had twice Caius Iulius Caesar with my Romani Campaign. I had three important families in my country, the Licinius Lucullus, the Papirius Carbo and the Iulius Caesar!

    It actually was Quintus Iulius Caesar who conquered the most and became one of my best generals, I was glad to find out his son Caius took after his father and was Sharp,Ch.Vig. He led my elite uberarmy, sadly, I advanced so fast, when it finally reached the border (came all the way from Roma), I already won the campaign...

    I actually had two Iulius Caesar families, but the other less known one was just a family to govern my cities...

    Also I could adopt one, which sadly was already dead when I adopted him.

    I've had a Diodorus Soter recently marry into the royal family as AS, hopefully he'll give me a few well named sons!
