Until you realize that the Pyramids were built wherever they had universal suffrage. Then you realize that the Mids were built in Egypt, and democracy flourished in Greece. So, you reason that Athens must have conquered Egypt to become a democracy. Unfortunately, your history teacher fails to see it your way. So you call him Monty.

Not since BtS they don't. The Phalanx now replaces the Axeman.

Alexander was obviously running Vanilla or Warlords (probably Warlords as he was a Great General).

232. You consider armies to be expendable and unlimited, since they could be easily replaced.

[Commodore Nate]
