I am here to have fun, and learn as much as I can. Playing and memorizing games of interest helps me to increase my knowledge. I have coincidentally met and made some good friends while I have been here. Recently I have been hosting The Gaming Emporium group, give it a try.

I mean, the way history is taught in my area, Europe has never been more advanced than tribal states, with tiny villages. I would wonder how the 1,000,000 who lived in Rome (in any one generation) during the time of the Empire would feel about that.

But anyway, Nice to know you are interested in Incans, and particularly the Greeks, and that I am not the only History fanatic in the world.

Oops, to continue, I hear too much about how un-intelligent and un-civilized, and worthless, and probably even evil, the ancient European civilizations were, and how they could not possibly be compared against other civilizations from around the world without showing them up to be worthless dungheaps.

Yea, the Ancient Incans were an advanced society, but I see way to many people comparing them in a favorable light against the Romans. Everything the Incans did, the Romans did as well, (build good roads through mountains that are still in use, build bridges that are still in use, build cities, etc.) And oftentimes, the Romans did better. The Romans built the Aquaducts, which I have never heard of Incans making, and the Colosseum. And, to top it off, the Romans did it 1000 years ahead of the Incans, making their feat far more impresive.

So, did you know that your Foxes game is one of my fav.s? It rates only behind my "Hard LotR Quiz game", Niklas' Ferrari Series, and Paulfunl's two Marx Brothers games, putting it in the top 7. Great game, definitely 5 stars, and a nod.

Well, I lenjoy history quite a bit, Especially Ancient history. Of the People I know, I know more about Egyptian history from the time of the Pharoahs than most know American history from the 1700-1800's. My fav. History is European from about 1000 B.C. to 1500 A.D., after which I think of History as being in the "Modern" time period. I must say, People think I have a unique outlook on time.

Hey, Nice to see you. I am now on the same page of scores as you are. Only One other Pro ahead of me. But hopefully not for long. In case you were not aware, the Lord of the Rings group has a new tournament going on. You should try it out.

I'm featuring your Foxes game in the early November tournament at Slaaty's Slipstream.

Hey, could you look up the game random, and rate it @ 1 star? it is a very poor game. Don't play it, as the odds of getting %100 on it are only 1:3125. Just rate it, please.
