    Lesbian rebels aren't gay. There is an Island in Greece called Lesbos.

    I might be wrong but I remember if you wait more in deployment part before starting battle your units start to do those things

    I know about the coughing, the sniffing, the sneezing etc. but farting !?
    Înfrânt nu eşti atunci când sângeri,
    nici ochii când în lacrimi ţi-s.
    Adevăratele înfrângeri,
    sunt renunţările la vis.

    Lesbians are from Lesbos, even the word itself was based on Lesbos, and the ancient greek female poet, Sapphos. Alas the word has never had any meaning about female homosexuality before the nineteenth century.

    Yes, no doubt about it.

    I think "Lesbian rebels" in RTW was an easter egg. This is because the Lesbian rebels are based in the settlement Pergamum rather than Lesbos (which is an island that was off the coast of Pergamum). If Lesbos had its own settlement, then Lesbian rebels would be proper, but having Lesbian rebels in pergamum appears to be an artistic stretch. If they were accurate, rebels in Pergamum would not have been named "Lesbian rebels," since Pergamum (Pergamon) was quite a significant city itself and more historically significant than Lesbos.

    I've just reinstalled Med2, and as I was playing I remembered an Easter Egg: A few years ago, I was having a long session [I started at 10am and didn't finish until 4am], at 3am-ish a voice came over the speakers saying "It's getting rather late, sire" or something very similar. Sorry for the necro post, but it seems that people are ignorant of this Easter Egg, it maybe the only one in the game...

    Are you sure you didn't have Stronghold on in the background, or are mistaking MTW2 for that game? I remember Stronghold occasionally asking if you were getting tired or suggesting you go get a snack.

    I have never played Stronghold.

    I remember that in Stronghold, it was a cool feature!

    Time for a snack, m'lord?
    It sounds like there's something similar in Medieval II, maybe it only triggers after being in the game a very long time - you mentioned playing from 10 am to 4 am.
