I dunno if this is also OT or not, but I think Vlad`s nickname in english would be "the Impaler" cos of those pikes `n stuff. Which brings me back to another ancient game, the Legacy of Kain: Blood Omen, the intro movie has a scene with the anti-vampire crusade, and it shows a bunch of vampires been impaled on pikes by Seraphim vampire hunters. I`m starting to sound like grandpa Simpson over here..

Hey neighbour
I remember Legacy of Kain (didn't play the first Blood Omen though) - the one with raziel ... impaling vamps is cool . Did anyone make any units form this game Raziel or Kain .

Okay now a little closer to the topic : sorry i can't work on a good city list with Mirc 'cause i got exams - and there is a high chance i will fail at least one

Back the the "Transylvania is a region not a city" discussion, how do you explain the Zulu capital being Zimbabwe, when Zimbabwe is a whole COUNTRY?

Thats easy: It is also wrong! If someone tells me the sky is green, why should I spread the word it 'is green' if I know its blue?

I another aspect: The Zulu Kingdom's Capital should be called Bulawayo (while it is however not even a Zulu city, yet was situated in conquered lands of the Qwabe). Apart from the (very brief) Shaka intermezzo "Zulu" is not even to be considered a state, as Zulu is a civilization, and showed no further development into statedom. Wallachia and Transylvania however have long been sovereign pricipalities under a true formal government, with state insitutions in place and foreign relations, with other states. Their capitals are institutionalized and easily identifiable.

I looked into it and there was a city called Zimbabwe, in Zimbabwe

 

[LMR]

Guess i should've researched too, eh?

 

[Kyriakos]

You should raise research in the bar After i discovered Philosophy i got a free "discovery of whether there was a city called Zimbabwe" advance. It enabled "post reply on vlad tepes thread" improvement. It costed 10 shields, and 1 cigarette (smoked while looking at the zimbabwe history sites)

 

[LMR]

i would, but my economy is pretty shaky. i've just researched "caffeine enhancements", which revealed some new resources: coffee, tea and Coke!

I've come in Belgrade 3 times before this! Once 2 years ago and 2 times this autumn.

I'll be playing on .... I don't find the papers right now... I will look better and tell you.... I'm sure that I will play at the Russki Dom (is it correct with double s?) during the Guitar Art Festival (Febrary, 7-12). Also if I win a prize (I took second 2 years ago, and the guy who took the first prize is in the other category now... so I'm expecting a lot) I will also play at the Winner's Concert that will be probably on the 11th or 12th.
Also I'll take a look on the site http://www.gaf.co.yu . Some very useful informations might be there.

I think its Ruski Dom, serbs and croats aren`t really fond of the "double letter" thingy Feb 7-12... I can`t make it... I was hoping it would be at the same time I have a double day off (Belgrade ain`t exactly in da hood ), its kinda rare, but it happens

Good luck!

I thought that the war between Croatia and Serbia was over!

...um...you lost me on that one..

Yeah, I don't understand too.

Croatia has no border with Romania.
If it had annexed part of a country which has a border with Romania, it could

Really, dont make me explain my usefull tm posts; it ruins their character

LoL that's an excavation site nowadays (tho, respect)

"Zimbabwe, ruined city, Zimbabwe

(zmbäb´w) (KEY) [Bantu,= stone houses], ruined city, SE Zimbabwe, near Fort Victoria. It was discovered by European explorers c.1870, and some believed it the biblical Ophir, where King Solomon had his mines. From 1890 to 1900 some 100,000 gold mining claims were staked out there, but all proved barren. Modern archaeological evidence has shown that Zimbabwe was first occupied by the earliest Iron Age people in the 3d cent. It was abandoned sometime thereafter until it was reoccupied in the late 9th cent. or early 10th cent. The remaining ruins include a massive wall, constructed in the 11th cent., a strong fortress, nearby dwellings, and an elliptically shaped enclosure, commonly called the Temple. The buildings were once richly decorated with stone carvings and gold and copper ornaments. Archaeologists believe that the city was constructed by a local African culture with little outside influence. 1
See G. Caton-Thompson, The Zimbabwe Culture (1970)."
