    Icon14 What are the important quotes you want to see in the game?

    Title, mine are:

    A popular anecdote regarding the array of the two armies is that Antiochus supposedly asked Hannibal whether his vast and well-armed formation would be enough for the Roman Republic, to which Hannibal tartly replied, "quite enough for the Romans, however greedy they are.

    Carthago delenda est

    Felicior augusto,melior Traiano

    At that time they say that the Emperor Honorius in Ravenna received the message from one of the eunuchs, evidently a keeper of the poultry, that Rome had perished. And he cried out and said, 'And yet it has just eaten from my hands!' For he had a very large weathervane, Rome by name; and the eunuch comprehending his words said that it was the city of Rome which had perished at the hands of Alaric, and the emperor with a sigh of relief answered quickly: 'But I thought that my fowl Rome had perished.' So great, they say, was the folly with which this emperor was possessed." Procopius, The Vandalic War

    I'd like to see a few 300 quotes in there, only to see the uproar that it would cause on here

    In all seriousness:

    "I love the name of honor, more than I fear death"

    "Nobody is more miserable than the person who wills everything and can do nothing"

    "Adversity has the effect of eliciting talents, which in prosperous circumstances would have lain dormant"

    Like all three of those quotes and all have some relevance to aspects of a campaign too

    There are so many quotes from the original RTW, it will provide a nice continuation in a way to have them.

    "Only the dead have seen the end of the war" for example.

    Space reserved for more quotes.

    With key Greek city-states in submission, Philip turned to Sparta; he sent them a message, "You are advised to submit without further delay, for if I bring my army into your land, I will destroy your farms, slay your people, and raze your city." Their laconic reply: "If". Philip and Alexander would both leave them alone.

    I really want just one since it describes my game-play. The rest can be a surprise.
