    Just wanted to know what you guys think about the Greco-Persian Wars. I personally think it was a moment of triumph for the Greeks.

    BUT, the question is: What if Persia won?

    Then the Romans would have had a tough adversary with a large base on mainland Europe later on...

    Persia provoked the wars by asking for land.

    Life wouldn't be as we know it

    So you are saying the Athenians provoked the war by putting cities on Turkish peninsula?

    Wow, really? So I shouldn't tell a newcomer when they're breaking the rules? I should just let them keep breaking them without knowing?

    I certainly didn't say it in a mean way. Certainly nothing to warrant someone telling me to give him a break. Also FYI we're required to warn about it in the thread.

    Not so much, but Athens did fund and support the Ionian rebels and use their peril as leverage for a war against Persia

    I didn't mean you said it mean, but you said it like you were a robot. Add a please or thanks in advance or smileyface. :D

    I don't want things to be arbitrarily nice, get it done and that's it.

    But this is why people do not like the mods, they are generally unemotional.

    People don't like us because we do our jobs, I've seen people smile at me while doing nothing and it annoys me to no end.
