Pack Rat

They arent afraid of using ships to transport troops tho the greatest threat still comes over the land due the fact navy's are attacked every step they make unless you have a huge fleet capable of withstanding other fleets you may stand a change. The threat over sea isnt that huge cause most fleets just dont reach your territory. Most fo them are sunk or defeated by other hostile fleets.

1. Do know one thing... Once you invade Rome and destroy the Senate the Scipii and Brutii will break their alliances and declare war on you. They arent unbeatable for sure but this delays everything. Cause they will throw everything they have at you, your cities will have to withstand one siege after an another. And dont think it will be over by just capturing Italy. Basicly if you have Rome, the first thing you should do then is whipe out the other Roman families and this takes a lot of time cause both possess a military force beyond your belief. 2. You get acces to other civilisations by either destroying them ( tho do know this doesnt always work ) or finish the game with one civilisation. After this civilisation you get acces to other civs ( but not all)

Netch armor Ebony Longsword Auriel's bow with whatever arrows I can find. That's about it actually... Life of a ranger is easy ^_^

I never really played Medieval or Shogun tho I was looking forward to Rome: Total War for months, even years. It's just a marvelous game, the board-game overvieuw may be kinda dull to most people but the battles are magnificent. Imagine two massive armies op over 1000 units strong battering into each other, the view after the battle is quiete intense. Only remark I make is the fact that the Roman Empire is made too powerfull.If you play with any of the other races you sooner or later get to deal with the Romans and the chance of the Roman Empire being destroyed early in the game is extremely low, never encountered it tbh. Magnificent game in short ^_^ , good for intense playing the first month and good for filling up those bored gaps afterwards. It defenitly made it too one of my must-have list.

Basicly, Mafia is one of the best games I have ever played in the 8 years I own a computer, the intense sphere, the great story line just make it a must-have game. Only negative thing I have to add about Mafia is the fact that the game is just way too short, great game nonetheless. Anway I'm glad to hear that Mafia 2 is in production ^_^

Any of those freaks in overrun dunmer strongholds...

Aleksei sighs after getting the first snowball in the face. He is getting nervous, a wet face in this cold cannot be good for any man's health. He removes the remaining snow, seeying the local fool falling in front of him. Aleksei is concerned something may have happend to the character, only to get smacked in the face by a second snowball. He slowly moves his hand over his face out of anger, removing any snow once more. He throws the snow away by moving his arm away as fast as possible, leaving an irritated face behind. He grabs the hilt of the sword, removes it from it's sheath, lets the sword turn gracefully in his hand and plants the blade in the snow just beside his attackers face whom now at his turn was less interested in throwing snowballs at Aleksei. Aleksei kneels down and looks into the characters eyes. Say, you dont happen to know where I might find a cottage or cage for all I care where I may hide for the cold? You see, I dont like to be sick. I have commanded fleets, killed thousands of Cultists, traitors and escaped exploding planets so the last thing I want right now is to get sick He stands up again and removes the sword from the snow and puts it safely away in it's sheath again. Then he offers his hand to the character to pull him up... A helping hand, you may say.

Male character: Common brown robe ( the monk look-a-like one) Ebony longsword Dwarven halberd Ariels bow and steel arrows basicly Sometimes I wear netch armor instead of the robe. Kinda depends Female character: Netch armor or Adamantium armor with exquisite or extravagant skirt ( dont remember which one) ebony long

I think it's the car that does the trick... Or maybe the way he says 'shaken, not stirred'

I'm sorry I did not wish to be offensive or anything nor was I referring to the American people. When I speak about political business I always refer towards the government cause afterall they are the ones responsible for every move the country makes. I hardly see the local grocery mobilising the army cause his oil prices are too high or any other thing. For example if I say to my friends I hate the United States. Does that mean I hate the American people, the American products? No, I also watch American movies, I also watch American shows but I dont hate them, do I, well maybe some... I do mean then I hate the politics the American government uses towards the rest of the world. So once more, please do not interpretate this as an assault on anyone with American nationality on this forum. At the moment I hate my country because our facist party is about 1 inch away of being elected but I dont hate my mother and father then for being Belgian? Or my neighbour. All I'm saying when it comes down to politics I never refer to the people. And if a nations people has to pay for the mistakes it government made, I'm sorry, but that's the real world.

Aleksei, or Nickolajev, removes any snow which is still stuck on his face with one move of his hand. He grabs the hilt of his blade and looks around how this strange character which 'attacked' him tries to break the world record fastrunning in hope to escape any counter-move he might make. As he see how the man runs he pulls up one eyebrown. 'Funny...', he mumples. He decides not to pay much more attention to what seems to be the local fool or child in that matter and heads on to the north. He hopes to find any cottage soon cause the cold is freezing his little toe and he begins to worry he might catch a cold... He had a strange feeling not soon after, as if someone or something entered the realm, someone familiar... 'Hmm, at least someone is alive...', he thinks while continuing his road to something.

Any country can see an armor division standing into the open... You dont need the newest american satelite or any other poo for that... What do you expect 1. You have no right to be there at all 2. You've given golden promises to the people of Iraq and you didnt kept any and not much has changed since before the Americans came. Oh yes, the oil fields changed to American compagny's. Hey, you f***** up now you're going to pay the price.

Hardly... The Americans have a strong advantage when it comes down to technology and arsenal but their main force is one of the worst trained. Technology can give you a very strong advantage, that is as long as you dont meet guerilla-based armies... (Vietnam, Cuba, Korea ) Actually I think it workedpretty much in irak... Dont underestimate China nor Russia. The few money Russia has, goes basicly to the army. The russians still produce some of the most advanced weapons and warcrafts in the world. China on the other has an army of a size beyond your belief, but lacks technology, for now that is. 1. We dont have one yet and probably wont have one very soon cause we dont need one yet, unless Bush gets offended once too much by any comment coming from Europe. 2. The UN-forces exists mainly out of European forces

Since when is Canada not a country? :blink: <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Aint that a 'merde'...

Hey we had our time, U.S. had their time, now let's see how the Chinese will do
