Re: On This day...Battle of tannenburg
Also known as the battle of Grunwald fought on 15 July 1410.
I believe he wanted some1 to give the date although i may be wrong.
I am the shadow, and the smoke in your eyes I am the ghost, that hides in the night.
We shall go on to the end, we shall fight in France,
we shall fight on the seas and oceans,
we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our Island, whatever the cost may be,
we shall fight on the beaches,
we shall fight on the landing grounds,
we shall fight in the fields and in the streets,
we shall fight in the hills;
we shall never surrender.
" The dark is generous.
Its first gift is concealment: our true faces lie in the dark beneath our skins, our true hearts remain shadowed deeper still. But the greatest concealment lies not in protecting our secret truths, but in hiding from the truths of others.
The dark protects us from what we dare not know.
Its second gift is comforting illusion: the ease of gentle dreams in night’s embrace, the beauty that imagination brings to what would repel in the day’s harsh light. But the greatest of its comforts is the illusion that dark is temporary: that every night brings a new day. Because it’s the day that is temporary.
Day is the illusion.
Its third gift is the light itself: as days are defined by the nights that divide them, as stars are defined by the infinite black through which they wheel, the dark embraces the light, and brings it forth from the center of its own self.
With each victory of the light, it is the dark that wins.
The dark is generous, and it is patient.
It is the dark that seeds cruelty into justice, that drips contempt into compassion, that poisons love with grains of doubt.
The dark can be patient, because the slightest drop of rain will cause those seeds to sprout.
The rain will come, and the seeds will sprout, for the dark is the soil in which they grow, and it is the clouds above them, and it waits behind the star that gives them light.
The dark’s patience is infinite.
Eventually, even stars burn out.
The dark is generous, and it is patient, and it always wins.
It always wins because it is everywhere.
It is in the wood that burns in your hearth, and in the kettle on the fire; it is under your chair and under your table and under the sheets on your bed. Walk in the midday sun, and the dark is with you, attached to the soles of your feet.
The brightest light casts the darkest shadow.
The dark is generous and it is patient and it always wins – but in the heart of its strength lies its weakness: one lone candle is enough to hold it back.
Love is more than a candle.
Love can ignite the stars."
Alpha and Omega the beginning and the end.
You began the war.
I am going to end it!

Re: On This day...Battle of tannenburg
I got it of of some other thread posted here actually, it's in the time period of m2tw so I felt like sayin it
Centenarius
Re: On This day...Battle of tannenburg
Isn't it one of the Historical Battles ?
I felt like the Historic Battles feature in m2tw was a bit lacklustre -- what's it, like 5 battles plus the Tutorial (Hastings?)
IT would be totally Awesome if C.A. reintroduced more Historic Battles / Historic Campaigns as found in the original mtw...That is to say, where you had to fight a series of battles as based on Historical Record -- each one having its description of events etc -- like those Original MTW battles some were HARD.. really HARD , beatable but you had to give them quite a go b4 attaining victory...

Agincourt is the best in M2TW. Seige of Sparta was also pretty fun in Rome.

Also on this day (well, not this day anymore... 15 july) Jerusalem was taken by the first crusaders, the church of the holy sepulcher (with their awesome canons) was consecrated, the concordat of 1801 was signed, Napoleon surrendered to the british, Versace was killed, first Boeing flight, Rembrandt was born, Chekhov died and a lot of other stuff also happened
Quite an eventful date actually
Point being?
