I'm surprised that swordsmen are mentioned here. They have a hard time if there are axemen defending a city.

The maceman! Is anyone surprised?

28. Before you can build the pyramids, you have to go to your local shop and buy the stones!

1972. The seventies are the second largest group, but I find very few posts of them!
