    Fighting isn't about winning, it's about depriving your enemy of all options except to lose.

    Wel, at least their family tree is one of the clearest ones I've ever seen.
    And don't you just hate when you have to scroll horizontally? No such thing necessary here.

    My encyclopedia says: Ptolemy XV Caesar.
    Full name Ptolemy Philopator Philometor Caesar.
    Nicknamed: Caesarion.

    Also the part around Cleopatra Selene and descendants is a bit nasty

    A miracle that Cleopatra (the most known one), turned out to be such a beautiful woman as told. Were there a lot of cases about deformed or slightly handicapped Ptolemies known?

    Thanks for sharing the picture!

    I was about to say, "Hmm, I'm liking Hayasdan's expansion", before I realized that those blue spots were the Black and Caspian Seas. *sigh* Not very smart to think after a soccer game.

    Sweboz own!!! Oh yeah, and ptolies can just tramble in sight of such warriors! mouhahahahahaha!!!

    Behold the riturn of Duguntz on the battlefield... in october!

    From a scientific point of view, incsetial children (between bro's ans sister, as shown in that falily tree... wich really deserve it's name as... FAMILY tree!!!) start to show physic defect after only 10 or more generations... that's mean that when the first of that great line decided that his sister was cute enough to sleep with, it COULD take up to even 15 generation before we could actually physicly see it by defects on body AND mental... The problem of it... is that even if the grand grand grand grand grand pa' slept with a family member, and was the only one, the cromosome defect could strike like 100 years later, even if the rest took wife (or husband) in the good order, that is, with someone NOT from the family. so even a ''normal'' children could be deformated because his grand grand grand father slept with somebody he souldn't have!Hmmm... complicated even for me... still, it's only a matter of cells and chromosomes...

    still, even if it takes, in general, couples of generations before deformations can be seens, don't sleep with your sister... it's awkward!

    Cheers everybody!
