Totally off topic, but most of Alexander's siege expertise was shown before he fully conquered the Persian Empire and started incorporating their army into his, when he had a tiny force manpower wise...
To call England a tiny impoverished outpost shows how little you know of Medieval England, it was probably the most politically advanced country in Western Europe at the time (probably the most in...
For anyone interested in the Heather theory, the book is also a great read even if your not well immersed in the period of late Roman History, dealing with a great swathe of the period including...
Try reading a History of Byzantium by Lord John Julius Norwich (an eminent Byzantine and Venetian historian), before claiming it's unfounded, most of the ideas put forth in this thread are contained...
Manzikert is hideously overrated, the main killing blow to the Empire was the Fourth Crusade, until that point various attempts to regain Anatolia had met with various success, and by the time of the...
England will win the world cup again when we actually employ a decent manager, just look at who we've had recently:
Keegan
Sven Goran Eriksson (best of the recent managers)
Steve McLaren
The...
The West Indies was definantly the region of cash colonies for the British Empire at this time, the Empire was raking in the cash from the sugar, rum and other assorted products that the islands were...
1. Since when has the populace of a 19th century nation influenced it's governmental policies in regards to foreign policy ? Your thinking too much in terms of 20th century terms here.
2. It's not...
Plus the integration of masses of Persian soldiers and practices, as part of Alexander's policies of 'fusion', which the bigotted Macedonian-Greeks saw as disgraceful due to the Persians being...
Actually thats a commonly made mistake, which ironically was made by the colonials themselves, the Proclaimation act of 1763 never forbade settlement west of the Applachians, it merely placed a hold...
And why their not even a customer for the F-35, because clearly the German Air Force is better than the RAF.
And enough about the French having a larger navy than Britain, it may do in terms of...

I'm sure many of you guys here at TWC are fans of the 19th century and creation of the great European Empires that occured during this period,...
Thirteen times if you want to be picky :P Although saying thirteen invasions is being very picky as it's classifying every time American forces crossed the border, and the assaults ranged from proper...
Last time I checked Italy didn't have a strong communist party in the late '20s and early '30s either, I'd hardly say that was a prerequiste for Facism rising in a country.
I've recently started playing in an Rpg, where I've taken the nation of Safavid Persia (set in 1600 under Shah Abbas), now being a follower of European History (primarily British and Russian) I've...
A few years, make that 35 years earlier (1777-1812), and you were expanding even during that time, constantly pushing westwards into Indian territory and new states were sprining up in very short...
Why would you want Canada ? Well the Americans have always been an expansionist people, they believed the entire North American continent to be their own, and having British colonies just north of...
Quite obviously Romania teaches incredibly bad history, 1812-15 was not a British invasion that went wrong. The United States declared war on Britain, and INVADED Canada no less than 13 times over...
Off topic here (sorry guys), but Matt is that you ? back from where-ever you dissapeared to ?
The Seven Year's War, this was essentially the 18th century equivalent to a World War.
That is essentially every major power of the time all participating in one massive war, also in a pseudo...
Cyprus is very European, they are part of the EU, have a long history with European nations, their culture is European, their ethnicity is European.
I just need to think back to the Empire and think that no one will likely have an empire that large again, given today's politics, and thats one thing we do have over the Americans :p
Surrounded by the European and Japanese empires.... :rolleyes erm sure, thats why you have thousands of miles of water between the USA and all other empires and land borders with only Mexico and...
America did have a colonial empire of sorts, firstly they annexed Hawaii (not to be become a state until 1950) which was formerly an independent nation under British protection (thus the British flag...
Because that kind of spirit just evaporates when we win a war :rolleyes just like it did after we defeated Napoleon after standing alone, we really weren't the same after that were we. :rolleyes ...
Quite a few, when you think that from 1940-41, we were the only opponents of Hitler in Europe, and our capital was being mercilessly and relentlessly bombed night in night out. And we still didn't...
Oh god where do I start. One as I clearly stated this is in 1980, and China was no were near her present power, all it's army was, was a massive conscripted rabble, I even made a point of saying this...
At this time, it wasn't. The Argentine Military and Chinese military were at a roughly equal strength, they were no way near the China of present day. Also the idea of Hong Kong being a specially...
It was a roughly 60/40 split in favour of remaining British subjects, many of the wealthy Chinese were scared of what Communism would bring, they had grown wealthy of British democracy and free trade...
As everyone knows, the island of Hong Kong and the surrounding lands (New Territories) British colonies for roughly 150 year were handed over to the Chinese in 1997. During the British rule Hong Kong...

hmmm.. To me that look like a Spanish Conquistador's helmet of circa 1500. The style looks right for it.
I got the cities and ports added after my previous n00bish error and then tried to run my campaign. Now I get the error message:
So I looked at this file and this is what I got,

Thanks your for help. I had added a settlement, yet hadn't disabled draw mode, thats what I was doing wrong. Many thanks :)
hmmm, I'm having a strange problem with the editor. I can run it fine, I did all the necessary and I get it to work fine however when it comes to adding new cities and ports to a newly created...
You need to create a new folder say for example "New campaign" and then copy all the files from the base and Imperial files into that folder. Then open that folder up with the map editor and it...
I didn't introduce myself either actually, lol
Although there is not much point now, but I'll give it a shot:
I'm 16 years old, live in England, very English, as Hicks or any other guys I've...
