How about if we move the trash talk here so we don't clutter up the "Collection of Links and DARs" thread?

Yes. You need to say, "We surrender."Originally posted by Theseus
Look, all you Romans out there can mess with us Greeks (uh, he-elloooo, founders of just about everything your civilization is based upon, except maybe highways and traffic jams), but just come out and admit it...
You are Hades. The Devil. Satan. Beelzebub.
Need I say more?
It's not what you Greeks are founders of that counts, but rather how well you use it and how well you can defend it.
In any case, your claim is a bit exaggerated. Consider Rome's aqueducts and colosseums, and the fact that it was under Roman, not Greek rule that monotheistic religous belief became widespread.
And then there's the little fact that in our game, it was Rome, not Greece, that poneered the development of philosophy and a code of laws. -
Never mind the post that was originally here.Last edited by nbarclay; July 31, 2004, 12:17.Comment

/me is rightly chastised for trash talking in the wrong thread.The greatest delight for man is to inflict defeat on his enemies, to drive them before him, to see those dear to them with their faces bathed in tears, to bestride their horses, to crush in his arms their daughters and wives.

Of course you do remember what happened with the Greeks (among other nations) in real life. The Romans had a certain Borg-like quality to them:
Prepare to be assimilated. You will exist to service us. Resistance is futile.Comment

(that certainly seems to be Nathan's modus operandi in this game... watching the score turn-to-turn is daunting!)The greatest delight for man is to inflict defeat on his enemies, to drive them before him, to see those dear to them with their faces bathed in tears, to bestride their horses, to crush in his arms their daughters and wives.

It occurs to me... we Greeks should be getting a little encouragement from the ownership.
