    Of course, thats must be why it was the cradle of western civilisation and has had a stanglehold international shipping for centuries.

    Same could be said about Italy.

    Rome was once one of the most sophisticated and most powerful civilisations.

    Now look what has become of Italy. The lire was worth jack sjit before the took upon the Euro and still up till this day the country is plagued by heavy corruption.

    Not just any old anal sex! 

    They pioneered the institutionalized buggering of young boys!!

     

     

    But but, they told us they were 18!!!

    That was Turkey if i'm not mistaken.

     

    I'm Greek and nationality has nothing to do with a bunch of unorganised and unprofessional "developers". ;)

     



     

    My mistake!  What ARE they teaching kids in schools nowadays?

    The Byzantines predate the Greeks?  Or are you saying they were there all at the same time?  I'm just going to assume you are an idiot, regardless of where you hail from.  Dimmit sounds a whole lot like dimwit, aptly so.

    Its always the same they act all hard and rough, but as soon as the buggering starts its out with the squeaky voice 'heeelp help...I'm only 13' who hasn't been there?!

    Italian way would be to deliver it half finished way over budget  and very buggy.
    The german way would be a bugfree game with few feautures but working.
     

     

    what about the swedish way dude??

    xD



     

    Oh, that's easy, go check Entropia universe - that is the swedish way is:

    - Make a game that is a game IF you pay shitloads of money for ammunition OR if you spend ages collecting sweat?!  for other players for zillions of years to be able to buy some ammunition to go play for 10 minutes.

    Yes, I'm swedish :)

    The guy pwned himself by assuming that the Byzantine empire and Ancient Greece were the same thing. Then he made a pun about Americans. Since the Byzantine empire and Ancient Greece are not the same thing, that constitutes a "self pwn".

    That's an ugly generalization. What does nationality have to do with this? It's a documented logical fallacy to attack the qualities or motives of your opponent rather than his ideas. (Argumentum ad hominem) And Byzantium was founded in 667 BC, making the Byzantine Empire 2,675 years old.

    The ultimate solution to every problem: more space marines.

  • OBK1OBK1 Member Posts: 637

    Eh, wasn't the Byzantine empire what was essentially left of the roman empire (eastern half)? With its power centre in Constantinople (modern day Istanbul)? But yes mostly populated by, or at least run by, greeks (since greeks then populated modern Turkey). Later they were destroyed by the Ottoman empire.

    An entire different thing to the early greek civilizations, but I suppose you could use the Byzantine empire as a showcase of greeks being able to be a powerful civilization this side of year 0.

    It's not shitloads of money for 10 minutes of play, unless you are generally very innefficient at managing your PEDs.  It's F2P with micro-transactions; you get what you pay for, and you CHOOSE what you pay.  Not to mention you can cash out when you're done...

    Yes, true I suppose. But if you want to play it like an ordinary MMO and mostly hunt chances are you will have to cough up more than the usual 15 dollars a month. But the cash out idea is pretty neat.

    Ancient greece->Hellenestic Greece->Roman Greece->Byzantine Greece->Ottoman Greece->Modern Greece. The http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byzantine is a continuation of greek civilization. Not only that but it was the greatest power in europe for 9 out of the 11 centuries the eastern empire lasted.So no I didn't self pwn myself. You on the other hand make sure the next time you open your mouth , it connects with the eampty void you keep between your ears.

    Base team are norwegians and some greek and some other countrys and i think it has nothing to do with greece its just that there a small team launch a game for first time in there live with no help from some big company support them.

    In that way give them some slack.
