    Who is the contributer historian(s) in need of rep?

    Thorolf was thus armed. Then Thorolf became so furious that he cast his shield on his back, and, grasping his halberd with both hands, bounded forward dealing cut and thrust on either side. Men sprang away from him both ways, but he slew many. Thus he cleared the way forward to earl Hring's standard, and then nothing could stop him. He slew the man who bore the earl's standard, and cut down the standard-pole. After that he lunged with his halberd at the earl's breast, driving it right through mail and body, so that it came out at the shoulders; and he lifted him up on the halberd over his head, and planted the butt-end in the ground. There on the weapon the earl breathed out his life in sight of all, both friends and foes. [...] 53, Egil's Saga
    I must tell you here of some amusing tricks the Comte d'Eu played on us. I had made a sort of house for myself in which my knights and I used to eat, sitting so as to get the light from the door, which, as it happened, faced the Comte d'Eu's quarters. The count, who was a very ingenious fellow, had rigged up a miniature ballistic machine with which he could throw stones into my tent. He would watch us as we were having our meal, adjust his machine to suit the length of our table, and then let fly at us, breaking our pots and glasses.

    Another glorious preview. Looks like playing as the Sultanate of Rum will be very interesting and engaging (the info Hross provided us).

    I'm very excited for the preview of Iran now.

    The main researcher for the region we last previewed (Anatolia) is Giorgios, with additional research by me and the mapping by Resurrection.

    Mappers, if you were here I would kiss you. Yet another amazing preview. The graphics seems to have been pushed to the very limit. Good job!
    I must give my appreciation to the historians as well. A great read! Keep it up!

    Oh my, now I'm even more excited. I've got nerdchills all over.

    Great Preview.
    Does the Reserve bank practice a form of modern slavery??
    DEBT is the weapon used to conquer and enslave societies, and INTEREST is its prime ammunition.
    People have to work to pay off debt. as interest is compounded, people have to work harder to meet the debt payment over and above other payments. This keep the wage-dependent "SLAVE" in line, powering an empire that only benefits the elite at the top of the pyramid.

    PHYSICAL SLAVERY requires people to be housed and fed. ECONOMIC SLAVERY requires people to feed and house themselves.it is one of the most ingenious scams for social manipulation ever created, and at its core, it is an invisible war against the population.
