I think that video is a fairly epic example of someone 'not getting it' - He doesn't read anything, assumes the text is all ripped from Wiki etc... Oh well, each to their own!

Man, I feel so inferior now that i've watched those clips...

Roma - I've seen it a few times previously and yes its very funny. Tends to be one of those shows me and my mates will watch now and...

Well, she is certainly not a 'tier 4' probation officer. Indeed, she is still a 'Probabation Service Officer' (the ones who supposedly only supervise 'low level' offenders) as despite doing the role...

Firstly just want to say what a good thread - lots of well written, well constructed posts. You all make some extremely good points.

I just wanted to to weigh in with a little example from my life...

Yep, totally agree. There is a lot of modern and historical evidence strongly suggesting that Homosexuality is entirely something one chooses and that the threat of imprisonment or worse works really...

Kaziel, firstly your units are beautiful, my favourite Romans by far at the moment. Just wanted to throw my tuppence in on the old Socii - according to Polybius, the alae were equipped in the same...

Well, I actually care enough to have logged in to post!

There is not a chance that I will be buying this 'expansion' on release. I won't totally rule out ever getting it, several months down the...

For blood to show on the ground you need to ensure that ground texture quality is set to 'Extreme'.

Although, as implied by the other replies, even then it wont last more than a second or two...

Whilst the title of the documentary may be a tad 'sensationalist', the use of the word 'Holocaust' is not in itself a problem. There is a difference betwen THE Holocaust and A Holocaust.

Man, I wonder why they didn't try this with R2?...

Of course, we could just accept that this exact topic has been discussed to death dozens and dozens of times on these forums over the years since R1 came out and that I never seen any sort of a...

This is some really, really nice work - one of the things ive personally felt we really needed. Love the artwork as well, the icons look spot on. Looking forward to this.

When you first launch the game from Steam, select mod manager from the launcher. You just need to tick the ones you want it to use.

I'm just going to quickly jump in and say that if you want your units to hold formation without using one of the preset ones, you need to group them with ctrl-g rather than just g. This locks their...

I'm going to have to disagree with this list of Saxon units i'm afraid.

Firstly, the Saxon 'army' changed and evolved a great deal during the time frame of this mod - mostly due to the constant...

Sadly for those hoping for some sort of public spectacle, and happily for Saddam; an efficient, well oiled, pretty-much-as-humane-as-killing-someone-can-be and totally private system of execution is...

Unfortunately it's going to take a hell of a lot more time to add in Asia all the way to Japan than to add in a small area of the Eastern coast of the Americas.

Caen is a no-go zone for everyone in my current England game - an inquisitor has been sat there for god knows how long now, and he religiously (pun intended) burns every family member, priest,...

There should be - just wait until the camera zooms in on your general.

I still have some faith in the British justice system - the law states that a retrial can only go ahead in double-jeopardy cases when there is 'new and compelling evidence', so it won't be a case of...

Up until 1984, the prescribed method of execution for the U.S military was hanging, with the last military execution taking place in 1961 when U.S. Army Private John A. Bennett was hanged for...

To be fair - those are actually really good :thumbsup2

And obviously as in the wild, when a large animal starts showing signs of illness the other, smaller animals get ready to swoop in - much as the 'lesser' European powers (England/Britain, The...

The Astra (be it the Opel, Holden or Vauxhall badge on it, depending where you live) is an excellent car, with a pretty long history in Europe. Although the old versions tended to be a bit tacky and...

The landowners themselves paid the hard, cold cash - the people in the lower stratas of society would be working the land etc - they paid their due in the form of labour.

Tax in Anglo-Saxon and later medieval England was based upon land owned. The entire country was divided into 'Shires' obviously (it still is). On a smaller level, the country was divided into units...

$9000 is roughly (when converted into £ Sterling) what I paid for my first car, a 1.2 Vauxhall Corsa. Slow, but cheap to run and cheap to insure which is pretty much all you really want for a first...

Of course not. The point being made with the case of the man with his sword is to notice what he was charged with - carrying a deadly weapon. He had a sword with him - that's a breach of the law. He...

'Twould seem this is a far better use of my valuable money than some of the other more dubious things i've been known to blow it on. Been quite warm recently i've noticed...

A decent grounding in the history of Rome can be found there. It's not a bad site at all for a more casual reader interested in the broader picture.

The sadly ironic thing about the Gunpowder Plot is that far from make Catholicism the main religion in England again, it's failure worsened the conditions for Catholics - all those wild stories about...

Technically, it's not even bound ceremonially with Britain any more - it's bound in personal union with an elderly lady who happens also to be Queen of the U.K and Queen of Australia etc

He states his source in the post - it's near the bottom:

Just remember the golden rule of history - don't judge it according to modern standards of decency and fairness.

Responding to any recruiting poster for pretty much any of the major combatants in WW1 would give you a decent chance of dying in some equally useless campaign to move the General's drinks cabinet 10...

Dying does seem to have a nasty habit of ending political careers early :wink:

Kitchener wasn't born a lord - he was granted his various titles in recognition of years of loyal and above all successful service to the crown. He was a very, very popular man at the time who won...
