Everyone thought the world was flat at one point too. well......well you should. Regardless of what the shining knights of 'freedom' will try to install in people, it's ultimately a flawed system, much like any other form of governing.

So? it's (well past now) new years here. Just because the majority of this forum lives west of GMT doesn't deny the existence of the Eastern times.

It is here.

Well your timezone certainly sucks now, doesn't it? It's nearing half-twelve here.

Merry New Year everyone. sooooo, 2011, good stuff.

Drat, I've fallen pretty far, I used to be like 4th or something around that.

I did once, it's incredibly boring, he just sniffed around for a few minuets, walked a few meters, starting smelling things again............

I recommend soft-modding it, you can do a lot of other things as well as playing burnt and different region games. most of the tutorials here are easy to follow: http://www.wiihacks.com/recommended-faqs-guides-tutorials-only/

The Roman empire held back the "barbarian tribes" for hundreds of years before their fall, which stemmed from the huge amount of internal problems the Empire was facing. The Germanic tribes had a (comparatively) small part. Regardless, they both had hugely successful armies revolving around discipline.

they'll do nicely ;) I recommend you don't hire Josh though.

Roman Empire, not Roman Republic The British Empire was pretty much undisputed as the strongest country in the world during colonial times, what are you talking about?

Discipline wins wars, look at the Romans and the British

fine, take this bag of gold. You'll find your payment as well as enough money for at least another month of service in the Imperial Army. I need extra troops for this pointless war against Zeon. Just in case anyone has any confusion, our core army are highly disciplined regiments, not this Eastern/Samurai nonsense.

I'm sure mr. guillotine would have something to say about that. also, all of you should buy Mount and Blade while it's on sale: http://store.steampowered.com/app/48700/ We could even have proper empire battles (that would be the greatest thing ever) if more than me and ferret have it

I really depends on what kind of cake and what kind of π, overall I'd say cake though.

argue as much as you want, your still part of the Empire. Why ever not? I agree Oujays was fun, but that really can't be said anymore. In other news: The Australian dollar is now worth more than the US dollar :D. MARVEL AT OUR SUPERIOR CURRENCY!

Oujays was and is very 'eh', it got immensely boring long before I left. The thread turning into a "LOOK AT MY SPRITES YAY!" "LOOK AT ME DO BORING RUBBISH ON MY COMPUTER LIVE, YAY!" may have had a fair amount to do with it.

Proto, your continued loyalty to the Imperium shall be rewarded, you will be promoted to Marshal, as well as given several Fiefs. I have a spirited warhorse though, do you know how lucky I was to get this horse? Thats the tactic I usually use, but it's not much good when there are 120 of them. TO ANY CARTOGRAPHERS: As Emperor it would be quite useful indeed to know what my empire (as well as the surrounding lands) look like. Any design will do, be as creative as you like, the best show of cartography will be given one fief of their choosing (other than major cities or castles of course)
