    Default Macedonian Icon

    I was just wondering why the macedonians are using the Lambda as their icon while the gcs are using a thunderbolt?
    "So there I am, in Sri Lanka, formerly Ceylon, at about 3 o'clock in the morning, looking for one thousand brown M&Ms to fill a brandy glass, or Ozzy wouldn't go on stage that night. So, Jeff Beck pops his head 'round the door, and mentions there's a little sweets shop on the edge of town. So - we go. And - it's closed. So there's me, and Keith Moon, and David Crosby, breaking into that little sweets shop, eh. Well, instead of a guard dog, they've got this bloody great big Bengal tiger. I managed to take out the tiger with a can of mace, but the shopowner and his son... that's a different story altogether. I had to beat them to death with their own shoes. Nasty business, really. But, sure enough, I got the M&Ms, and Ozzy went on stage and did a great show."

    Coz CA made the game that way originally, even though its a Southern greek emblem (Sparta, etc.). Its just a technicality they overlooked, nothing major really.

    Greece wasn't one country, they were city states. One symbol for a united Greece at the time is a bit confusing.

    I have a theory. I think some joker at CA thought the Lambda symbol looked like an "A" (for "Alexander").

    I think it's funny now.
