OK I have had enough of this BS. First of all it is NOT Balck's screen shot.
This is the original. He copied it too.

Secondly, He is not the only person that has a copy of the game, ( and it is Spartan NOT spartan/troy MISTER PERFECTION

) yes I have a copy too
So here's some advice for Mr. know it all. Before you go blowing your horn and sticking you nose where it isn't needed or wanted, I suggest you make sure you KNOW what your talking about and WHO you are talking to.
Yes I have spartan, AND all civ games including ALpha, Pirates, Colonize, Rev etc, All AoE, Aok, All TW, ALL Europa, ALL cossacks and many many more. Some you may not even have heard of. I have been playing strategy games since before you were born.
I am also a member of many Forums, not just this one. You might want to keep that in mind. People that live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.
For someone that is SUPPOSE to be a University professor and world traveler, you seem to have neither the wisdom nor the temperament to handle either of these very well. I suggest you find a nice sunny hillside, sit down, have a little cheese, drink a little wine, catch a few rays. It's a beautiful day. Don't spoil it and don't waist it.
Have a nice day . . . punk.
