I just want to say...

Oh please, would you stop that? There are some peapole who don't want to hear you praising the hellenes while abusing all others. It is not funny!

While I think that could have been expressed more politely, I tend to agree with the sentiment. The consistent arrogance of the Philhellenes is really just annoying. All the cultures in EB are both very interesting and valid, and while I imagine the Philhellenes are trying to be funny, all they're doing is being inflammatory.

When you think about it, it's actually rather funny to hear the partisans of the Makedonioi calling others barbaroi, given the fact that, until Philip conquered the Greek states, they were considered by many greeks to be barbaroi themselves. -M

don't bother... It may be easier to teach a wall how to walk... they will just start talking about why macedonia is the best even more

=D finally somebody is catching on, almost. I'll give a balloon if somebody starts a barbaroi counterpart. Celtic Punk was close heh.

As for Vilkku... Come on barbaroi, test the phalanx of hellas and make our day! >=D

p.s. Macilrille, play a slow, role-played Makedonian campaign. March up to Barbaropolis, burn it. Reclaim the Arche of Alexandros, then crush teh Kardonechoi(sp).... And you'll be Hailing Makedonia before long =D

Testing the Phalanx is one of my favorite things to do as the Getai. It's just a little too rigid for my play style, and too easy to exploit the AI's frequent headless charge into their poised tips.

Historical facts are the best remedy against a few delusionals

I've played both against the phalanx and using the phalanx. They're nice, but I'll take my Legiones any day. -M

YEEESSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!

Another thread ran over by the Hellene-lovers! Of course, every thread that even mentions the word roman or hellene deserves to be overspammed by the same and same pointless $#@! over and over again....

This really tires me people... You already have your own social group so now start a thread with a nice polite Hellene-Roman discussion instead of hijacking other threads....
