The official video game thread.

Yes, it's just a game, not a historical document. I doubt the creators wanted to get everything 100% historically correct.

Well Armenia was under Parthian control many times, We often fought on the Parthian side against the Romans, then often on the Roman side against the Parthians. So historically speaking there may have been such simliarities. However yes I agree w/ you the game is programmed to pretty much Armenia being the same as Parthia. This could be the result of laziness for making new units, or it could be also for game balance. Even more units may change the game and cause them to have to tweek w/ other factions in return. I'm just saying it's cool that we atleast get to play as them, It's fun using my imagination. So far I own all of south Turkey, Armenia, and the Lebanon area, and some of what useto be Parthia. I also have an alliance w/ Scythia directly to the north, and the Greek cities to the far west, so I'm pretty much cleaning out the middle east of infidels.

lol thats tight, i start my campaign attacking a neighbor, i never thought of trying to get some cash first. And I don't think you have allieances, just trade rights. Alliances aren't formed so easily.

I play with Julii but in early game I wanted to make an aliance with armenia . SO I sent my diplomate from Rome to Armenia..took me 20 or so turns and he got too old and died near azerbedjian

lol that's happened to about 3 of us so far I think.

Regarding Half Life 2

I just beat it, that's right BEAT IT.
The ending? Ah, I can't say, I'll admit that the whole game was good though.

I hope the third one comes out tomarrow or I'm gonna be pissed.
