A Strategy Unfolds

Eumenes had been sorry to see Peithon's troops go. If he had gotten word of their treachery, he would've attacked them, but they had left in the middle of the night, without him...

Eumenes had finished writing his letter to his wife. Most of his letters were short, but this one was long. There...

Background:


Though peace ruled in the empire, it seems those days are now over. With the enthronement of Alexander...

Eumenes writes a letter to the Pontic cities, to the tyrants and assemblies alike.



A somewhat different letter is written to the Persian Pharnaces and Datames.




OOC: Quick question,...

Eumenes calls a war council to lay out the plan to the other commanders.

''Hail, friends. Ariarathes had decided to withdraw to Pontus to gather more forces, leaving his cities in Cappadocia...

As Eumenes crosses the border with the royal army, he sends a messenger to Ariarathes.

Do you think the US had death squads roaming the streets and killed/terrorized Shia and Sunni civilians on purpose? The Coalition does have the high ground, certainly compared to its enemies....

US forces did not kill 1 million people. The majority of estimates think around 100,000-200,000 civilians died from the violence. Excess deaths fluctuate, from very low to very high. Furthermore,...

sure

I used to have patch 1.51 with my steam RTW Gold version. Now I have 1.51. Where can I find a patch for 1.51? I want to play MP with my friends.

The Scottish nationalists were so confident. I guess this was a case of the silent majority like Gordon Brown said.

Yeah it got shot down near Donetsk.

He had a Russian source that said an AN-26 was downed, but it didn't say where they got that information from. I assume it did come from the separatists, seeing as I would find it unlikely for...

Something out of 2001 isn't really relevant. And I asked you a while back, but you didn't see it, did the article you gave make any mention of whether their source was solely the rebels or there were...

Alright, thanks Heathen Hammer. Can you read in the article whether the information is based on what the rebels said or independant investigators have confirmed that an AN-26 was shot down?

That's because he believed an AN-26 was the plane they shot down instead of the MH17, I think. Could you give a source for an AN-26 being shot down today? Can't find anyway.

Alright, but I'm a bit confused here. Why can't the place of contact have been near Kiev and it have been shot down near Donetsk? Or am I misunderstanding you here?

Well, there's a picture circulating around of a rebel leader saying on twitter he shot down a plane, which he believed to be an AN-26, just before it got reported that a civilian plane was shot down....

Hey Pavlik.

Well, :wub:, planes still flew over Afghanistan and Iraq during the wars there. I suspect it's just not common procedure to shoot down planes at that height.

Good to see interest in this time period. I played a few Diadochi Alliances games myself back in the day. :D

Yeah it's all the fault of the Gypsies. Just like those lazy black people. :thumbsdow
Now that may sound a bit hyperbolic but it doesn't really sound that different, in my opinion.

Anyway,...

I like the new Daario. Old one was also good, but this one is alright. Thenns are meh, though.

Nah, democracy is alright. Extrapolating on the other hand is a bit meh.

No.

Who said I hadn't gotten bored of Total War in general too?

EU4 is boring to a certain extent. It's all conquering, so if you played EU III for some time it'll get boring quickly. Also the AI cheats if I recall correctly.

Nixon!

Russia.

Also, if you fight for the Germans on the Eastern Front and get captured instead of dying you get to rot until 1953 in Siberia.

You're right, Germany wasn't responsible. Alone.

Serbia, Austria-Hungary and Germany were all responsible. Serbia for not stopping the assassins when they could've done so, Germany for giving a...

Exactly. But you know, right-wing populists.. :doh:

What, German debt? In case you didn't mean that, ignore what's next.

German debt was manageable, so says Wikipedia, citing some historians, at least.

Jesus, Mohammed, Marx.

hold on, will edit in the morning
