    Default You know you have played too much RTW when...

    There's one in the M2TW forum, so I thought there should be one here.
    So, I'll start off:

    You know you have been playing too much RTW when:
    You call France Gaul. (This actually happened once to me)
    You call Turkey Anatolia or Asia Minor.
    You call Spain Iberia.
    You call Tunis Carthage.
    You call Bulgaria Thrace
    You call Albania Epirus
    You call the bits of Croatia, Bosnia & Herzegovina, and Montenegro that are on the coast of of the Adriatic Sea Illyria.
    Meh.

    when you see a battle scene in a movie and theyre in their starting deployments you automaticaly think in your head about strategies and flanking manouvers and how they could be countered and how you could counter the counter... :p

    and yea i have called france gaul on many occasions in geography with everyone giving me that "lolwut?" look

    You can play out a whole campaign in your head by working out your starting units, the position and units of the enemy and how you'll go about conquering. And then you play it and it's exactly the same.

    You can work out a timetable for victory with contingency plans.
    Also you use the same tactics Hannibal did in Paintball "Okay guys lets form a half moon with the center bent out then center will drop back and we will encircle them"

    You begin calling Britain "Britannia," and you start to loose sleep over the virtual provinces you lost on your last campaign.

    You try practicing sword techniques in just a loincloth to see if your cut out to be a Naked Fanatic

    I was once an Angel of Total War Heaven, but gave up my wings for a life on the sea of battle.
