Why exactly is being descended from a loser civilization that may have sacrificed children something that would give blacks moral and self-respect?  I would think the fact black ancestors lived in relative peace, bothering nobody, in Africa for thousands of years before Arab and European douchebags ruined it would be more points in that area.
Doubtful. Human beings don't work that way.
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Nothing seems to be loading for me, at least as far as the thread is concerned.  There is a link to " 20 of the Hottest Daughters in Sports," which is where I'm going now.

Man, I can't buy a new game now.  I'm still bloated on the Steam Sale.

Didn`t play much, I have mixed feelings. I think my major trouble is my 15-16 inch laptop screen is just too small for the campaign map`s scale. :P

So I haven`t made up my mind yet. The faction system definitely seems like a good idea, but just like in EU Rome, right now it means I am getting messages about people I have no idea about. Haven`t done the tutorial though. :P

I like the provinces. Which reminds me, Rockpapershotgun seems to be dropping the ball more and more recently. I mean, yes, they may very well end up being right for being disappointed, but you have one of the guys there QQing because he started as some Celts and he didn`t have much to do at start, and that the game made the world map into a "series of nodes". Well, duh, how this is any different from previous TW titles? And the province system makes it easier to manage the shitload of cities, and also to keep in mind how you specialize them in relation to each other.

I posted a response to that.  Now you can all laugh at my ignorance and correct me.

Good post Raz; better than the original poster deserved.

I have it. I like it so far. Started as Egypt. Currently being raped by the Seleucids and their many numerous satrapies (clients). Have lost Jerusalem and Petra.

It would be nice if rps spent more time reviewing the game and less on navel gazing.

I agree that the quality of RPS has seriously dropped over the past few months. I keep checking them mostly for news on interesting indie titles.

I think I'll wait until development for the title is over, then get the whole shabang. Surely they won't add another expansionpack with Brian blessed voicing the conquests of Alexander again.

I'd buy a game with Brian Blessed attacking the War Rocket Ajax.
