Battle for an Army

[Blitzmorder]

So i just watched Troy and was inspired by the 1vs1 idea.

Heres the deal, if you could pick one freep/creep to go up against any opposing freep/creep, for a keep or something like that, who would it be?

Also what battle would you like to see between 2 people on opposing sides?

[Vbhomunah]

Demkoa vs Sauron

My money is on Dem x1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000

[lionoil]

Id pay 10g to see Leon vs Vyxe 1v1.
But knowing that would never happen, seeing them or other Raid leader 1v1 on CM would be interesting seeing the out-come of the moors map.

IMO leaders should be able to fight all battles as well as there own, and without zerging/relying on numbers to win the day...but then again, usa is unreal..and illy is royal hay-priade-loyalist memeber =}

[Zalexia]

i think leon is op.;P not sure on vyxie though. havent seen him play personally. it would be fun to watch . i second that.

The greeks didn't win. Aeneas escapes, (The Aeneid), eventually ends up in the Tiber River area, makes a truce with the Latins, founds the Roman People by cross breeding...

So who really wins the Trojan War if the united Romans end up wiping out, enslaving, and winning wars against the still divided city states of Greece?

Sorry for the buzzkill. Rome>Greece.

-Tyrannicus.

So... let's say your enemies sent you a giant cake and had someone hiding inside who slipped out after you were done getting drunk for the night.

They then loot, & pillage your home while enslaving your entire family and all your friends.

They burn your house from under you.

You escape your burning house by the seat of your pants and run through the sewers to safety. You move west.

But you say you really actually win becaaaaaaause... 1,000 or so years after the you were thrown out of your own house, some " cross-bred " ancestors fought and won your battles. Got it.

Meanwhile the land to the east develops a form of democracy, philosophy, expands mathematics, builds monuments, writes poetry and literature, builds trade routes to almost the entire known world...

and shields the rest of europe from megalomaniacal despots from the far east long enough that the rest of europe can grow some muscles and stand on its own 2 feet. ( and then does it again from AD332 - 1450ish btw ).

You're welcome


How about you not mention the word " win", say that both civilizations made huge contributions to the western world and leave it at that.

Just because the Greeks made a damn good cake doesn't mean that the Romans didn't steal it, put their name on it, and then eat it all by themselves. The whole point of the Aeneid is that because of the defeat that Troy suffers at the hands of the Greeks, the Trojans are forged into something stronger, as evidenced by the fact that the Romans come back and whip the **** out of the Greeks.

True enough, but the Romans took it much, much further. Enterprise and ambition FTW.

Might I remind you that the Byzantine Empire was in fact the Eastern ROMAN Empire ruled out of Byzantium. While Greek speaking because of the region, the form of rule and structure of the Empire was Roman. I don't know if you can necessarily take credit for that...

Thugg never ceases complaining. It almost soothes the mind to see him griping. Almost as if confirmation the world is still spinning.

Just returned after a while; sorry for the necro, but... can't let any randoms rewrite history :-)

Something stronger, 500 miles away and conquering a fragmented people 700 - 900 years later. Yeah, they showed em, gg.

Yup. Roads, bridges, coliseums, bread, circuses, bloody spectacles, torture and execution of Christians, incest, vomitoriums, etc etc etc. Enterprise and Ambition.
And they *still* couldn't get their statues to stand straight up without a prop.

The part you left out or didn't know is that the capital was moved from Rome ( because of its then geographical irrelevance ) to the most strategic point in the Western / near-Eastern world, straddling Europe and Asia. And yes, I'll allow that the Romans invented bureaucracy. :-D

I would almost resubscribe to this game to hang out in Freep Vent with you. Remember the days of yesteryore, when we would compete for the collective animosity of anyone daring enough to listen our Vent conversations?

Ravellion - "I want to say something dirty about those school-children."
Illy - "Oh look at them, frolicking in the mud..."
Ravellion - "I'll bring them a bottle of purell."
Random Freep - "You're both going to Hell."

How ya been, Rav?
