Epic Art & Desktops

yeah, noen of those pictures had anything in common. sort of random
 
That's what I was thinking, too, but the scene is more suggestive of LotR (Helm's Deep) than WoT.

Might be so, but their look is mighty similar to that on one of the book covers.

but for sure it`s EPIC
 
Guess the Country

The portrait on the right was a give-away (as if the uniforms weren't). ;)
 
I honestly haven't the foggiest who those people are, but for some reason Congress of Vienna screams out at me
 
For that matter, the person immediately beneath the portrait in question. Come on.
 
A double-headed eagle was on the coat of arms of Austria as well, if I am not mistaken. I think it was somewhat different, though.
 
have to admit that I wasn't really sure what it was until i spotted nikolai :p
 
If it isn't yet clear, I very much approve of people being thrown off bridges. ;)



The only way I ever played through the entire game was by auto-resolving the smaller and less important battles, and only fighting out the really big and/or interesting ones. The game that I had referenced before had me as England take over most of Western Europe and then live out in leisure for a long time, randomly assassinating rulers and putting down German rebellions, until suddenly I noticed that despite my best efforts Egypt had reached well into the Balkans, not to mention its total control over the Middle East. I sent my king and a large army as crusaders and despite initial success the king eventually died in battle and the army was subsequently broken, leading to a civil war. By the time I dealt with it, the Egyptians had pushed me out of North Africa and were invading Europe. Sadly, I don't recall the exact details of the war, but I do remember that Spain in particular was devastated by invasions, counter-invasions and my scorched earth tactics (as it became apparent I could not hold on to any of it for long), and there was a really huge battle in southern France against the Egyptian 9-star heir. We sort of won the war in the end, but my empire was severely weakened and could not really land any kind of decisive defeat on the Egyptians outside of Western Europe, partly because there was a new round of rebellions due to me mobilising all garrisons during the war and raising the taxes so as to support and increase my armies after the civil war. It was pretty intense and, for another thing, late in game. The new and "improved" Total Wars tend to be both more tedious and less challenging at this point, but it wasn't a problem here. Conquering Europe in the first place was pretty fun too; France was pretty easy, but Germany and Spain put up much more of a fight when their time came. In retrospect, though, it probably would've been better to leave Spain alive.



This is indeed a huge Josef Stalin. He is here to fight Martians. On that note, where the hell is JosefStalinator?

I live, but only barely. The real world preoccupies me, as well as aiding my comrade Stalin in the fight against martians.
