retro V said:For all I know, Gazundheit is Deustch for Dragonlance. But I thought german composite nouns were, like, 50+ letters long.
Draconian said:Gesundheit is german for "bless you" or whatever your say in english after someone sneezes. Apparently they use the german word in America too.
The german word for dragonlance would be Drachenlanze.
And I knew only 9 of them. But at least I knew Tyrion, now that's a great character (I wonder who will kill him and when) But it would probably have been better to add Tywin Lannister instead, he's not even half as cool as Tyrion but he's much more like a great leader. Oh the red wedding...
And if Davos Seaworth got really killed i'm going to burn some booksI'm still hoping that they just killed someone else to cheat Ceresei. And speaking of her, add her at the bottom of the list

It's also interesting to see this list and realize that I have NEVER finished a game of FFH. I'm usually beating up on the AI and/or trying out new paths/stategies and never make it past around turn 300 or so.

On A song of Ice and Fire... (Which has Tyrion in it)
Read this. THis is a gritty book. It takes your assumptions about fantasy and chucks them out the nearest window.
Good guys aren't always good, bad guys aren't always bad, you learn to root for the a**hole. You pity the pretty, you yearn for blood and vengence more than honor or nobility, and lastly but not least, he (the writer) kills the characters you love with wonton disregard to your feelings. It's great.
For Informational purposes. ASoI&F (A song of Ice and Fire) is:
*A setting of Low Magic (Magic is VERY rare, VERY powerful, and VERY mysterious)
*A Setting resembling Medival Europe's Dark Ages (not golden shinining renesiance)
*Creates a very personlized feeling, the events of the world affect the characters more than vica versa - though it IS very dynamic.
*Currently 4 books in length of the series, scheduled (assumed) to be 7 total upon completion.
*Story Revolves around multiple characters at very different places at any given "moment" though time is not calculated normally. Chapters are not always done chronologically, and there are no chapter titles, each chapter title is a Name, that Name is the current character whos experiances you partake in - overlaping happens alot.
*You WILL throw the book across the room at one point if you read it.
*It will make you angry.
*It will make you sad.
*It will make you slaver for more.

I think perpentach would love Ceresei. She should be low/middle. But honestly, if were going to have a character from that series be represented, the best leader of all of them is prolly Deanerys. I mean, slave-freer, city sacker, dragon queen, and rightful queen of westeros? Its hard to beat her for legitimacy and coolness.
Corlindale said:Daenerys was actually the ASoIaF character I first suggested for the list, but we ended up deciding on Tyrion. There's no doubt they're both great leaders in their own right.
Corlindale said:I second this in the most powerful way anything can be seconded. Read A Song of Ice and Fire, now!
I knew most people on the list, though some only by reputation.
