Not sure anyone's mentioned this, but Hannibal actually met Scipio in person while part of Antiochus' court. The two of them had a bit of a back and forth verbal swordfight. Scipio asked Hannibal who he thought the best General in history was, probably intending to break his balls a little. Hannibal replied Alexander, which Scipio agreed, before putting himself second. Scipio was incredulous - probably had his ego wounded a bit, and responded by asking where he would place himself if he actually won at Zama. Hannibal replied he would then have placed himself above even Alexander.

Back when Rome 2 was released, I bought it as a gift on Steam and sent to my friend and told him to hold it for me. If I finished x number of specific projects I wanted to complete, he was to gift it back to me as a reward.

wasn't around during your Rome 2 days, but im looking fwd to seeing what you can do

Suddenly I hear that ol theme song from Welcome Back ,Carter show. welcome backk!!!!!

Selulcids are fascinating from a a Biblical perspective.Alexander who is shown to come onto the world scene in the book of Daniel .and then Antiochus Epiphanes would take over the the Jewish Temple and dedicate it to Zeus.basically the first type and shadow of the Abomination of Desolation to come later.eventually Pergamon would be known as the "seat of satan" acoording to the book of the Revelation.interestingly there was a giant statue of Zeus there..amazing history !!! looking forward to R2 campaign..

Oh man, I was so hyped when voting this campaign. But then, I totally forgot about it (life issue's) and today I found it! Great first episode, love the premise! Eager to catch up with the campaign.
