<@AppocoAway> I wondered if the old WP would have been named as switzerland instead of NoS <@AppocoAway> I want to see what alliances are linked to the UK <@AppocoAway> it's actually harder than I thought to link alliances to countries :( <@jesterina> err <@jesterina> WP wouldn't be switzerland <@jesterina> they were allied with the nazis <@jesterina> (Fury) <@jesterina> but then they changed <@jesterina> I'd say italy if the italian military wasn't so useless :p <@AppocoAway> what? it has a military history? <@AppocoAway> they sort of peaked with the roman empire <@AppocoAway> I guess they were in WEET <@AppocoAway> what about Eclipse and Elysium? <@jesterina> Eclipse would be England ;\ <@AppocoAway> lol <@jesterina> huge empire, completely dominant <@jesterina> because they had a huge, completely dominating grip on the game <@jesterina> and then in rounddn 10 <@jesterina> that makes elysium America, I guess <@jesterina> who took all the English slaves and turned them into assets <@jesterina> or something <@AppocoAway> lol <@AppocoAway> "World History in terms of Planetarion" <@jesterina> yeah <@jesterina> the metaphors don't really hold very long .... and then Rob joins in! .... <@Rob`afk> goddamnit <@Rob`afk> i'm going to have to reply to that post <@Rob`afk> legion were clearly the roman empire <@Rob`afk> i suppose concordium was alexander's greece <@Rob`afk> blue tuba the persians? <@Rob`afk> hmm <@Rob`afk> legion was the western roman empire, fury the eastern roman empire <@Rob`afk> xanadu were the various tribes (goths/vandals/franks/et al) <@Rob`afk> so r2 is probably the foundation of the empire <@Rob`afk> r3 the empire under Trajan <@Rob`afk> r4 Diocletian (when there were four emperors \o/) <@Rob`afk> r5 Constantine (religious strife related to the Gods galaxies \o/) <@Rob`afk> right, i need to kill myself <@Rob`afk> brb <@Rob`afk> hmm <@Rob`afk> so r6 was the fall of the western empire i guess <@Rob`afk> although r7 doesn't fit :( <@Rob`afk> we'll ignore r7 <@Rob`afk> r6 the various small tribes overran the western empire, that fits nicely enough with FoS and Xeta <@Rob`afk> skip r6 <@Rob`afk> *r7 <@Rob`afk> r8, titans/ldk can be the goths/vandals/etc., the western roman empire is gone <@Rob`afk> r9 eclipse is the byzantine empire under justinian \o/ * Rob`afk claims the role of Belisarius, and definitely not Narses * Rob`afk ponders <@Rob`afk> r9.5/r10 is the decline of the byzantine empire <@Rob`afk> elysium are the turks! <@Rob`afk> r11 <@Rob`afk> hmm <@Rob`afk> 1up is the holy roman empire i guess <@Rob`afk> Sid is the Pope \o/ <@Rob`afk> nfi about r12, didn't play it <@Rob`afk> r13, eXilition have to be the turks (or the ottoman empire as it is by then) <@Rob`afk> 1up is still the holy roman empire <@Rob`afk> ND can be spain or something <@Rob`afk> angels can be france <@Rob`afk> i think there's a decent case for ascendancy being england, but i would say that :( <@Rob`afk> or perhaps holland <@Rob`afk> which means that the rise of XP-whoring is the protestant reformation <@Rob`afk> dum de dum * Rob`afk idles in shame <@Rob`afk> <@Rob`afk> xanadu were the various tribes (goths/vandals/franks/et al) <@Rob`afk> that actually fits really well, given the analogy between dual membership in r3 and the way the romans gave citizenship to people from the frontier tribes <@Rob`afk> :( <@Rob`afk> then eventually they defeated the empire :( <@Rob`afk> actually ascendancy could be the mongols <@Rob`afk> i think i prefer that, and JBG will be pleased
