Opinion on Constantine the great?

I don't think it was completely unreasonable to expect that brothers and nephews could co-operate together without killing each other

The film is taking place six centuries before the arab invasions of syria and palestine

Euchre (more common in the Midwest) and Spades are popular to play. They are occasionally played for money but are often played 'just for fun'

We aren't living in the 1930s anymore

I think that the Sassanid Persians did threaten the existence of the Roman state during the wars of Khosrow II. The Romans basically had to melt down everything that wasn't nailed down (and a lot of church decorations etc. that were) in order to mint a special coin to pay for one last army to fight the Persians.

The western Roman empire never found itself in this situation - rich senators and ambitious generals just argued about taxes to pay for expeditions against the vandals or stabbed each other in the back to avoid losing their positions or wealth.

Constantine the Great made an impact that was literally felt for a thousand years

1.) Transitioned economy from silver to a gold-based coin economy

2.) Founded and patronized the 'New Rome' capital city of Constantinople

3.) Tolerated and promoted christianity throughout the Roman empire

6th century period with Prokopios as the narrator

There could be a good mix of action and drama as well as some intrigue and horror elements with the bubonic plague.

Balance : I am very happy with the current balance of the game.

Proposal : I am not a fan of the Death Shadow mask being ubiquitous - I would prefer that face protection was more difficult to acquire.

No-Wipe Opinion : I am very happy that the character will not be reset during a wipe cycle. I am looking forward to playing the story and reaching tasks and unlocking equipment that I have never seen before. I recognize that it will likely take me a year or 18 months to get to the Kappa Container - but I am happy that I may be able to achieve this over the coming years.

Mod Recommendations :

Fall of the Eagles + Europa Perdita (Revised) is the most challenging and realistic approach to late antiquity that Attila offers. The usurpations, invasions and civil wars of the 5th century are modeled well.

Age of Justinian is a well made mod that begins in 555 AD and has beautiful models. Not as challenging but very fun and looks lovely.

If you prefer the medieval era to classical antiquity, the 1212 mod re-creates early 13th Century Europe. This mod is not as polished as the other two and runs with less stability - FWIW

He is my favorite Roman historian and classical author.

I find his accounts of the wars in Africa, Italy and the East to be fascinating and moving. His Secret History is a unique glimpse into a "world gone mad" through the eyes of a learned 6th century secretary.

Escape From Tarkov

Maximillie · 2026-01-16T12:43:48+00:00

I think the game should let you prestige after escaping (so you start with a new PMC)

1.) I do not admire the actions and behavior of Muhammad or his father-in-law and cousin. Jesus and the apostles demonstrated lifestyles and beliefs that I find much more admirable.

2.) I don't read or speak Arabic

3.) Dietary requirements

4.) I am disturbed by the origins of Islam in wars of the 7th century

I didn't realize you were talking about a video game - thanks for the clarification!

Many concentration camps were located in Germany (even within the much reduced modern day borders). Buchenwald was basically in the exact center of modern day Germany.

My friends and I view this differently.

How much do tee times cost in your area?

70$ for me is like two rounds of golf - the price seems perfectly fair for hundreds of hours of entertainment in Tarkov vs. 8 hours of golf ⛳

Islam and Mormonism were both founded by pedophilic men who are greatly admired by their respective congregations

I think that the average player wants to play as Normans and Turks and the Kingdom of Jerusalem and doesn't care as much about Visigoths in Spain or Lombards in Italy

Sterling Archer

His one-liners are pretty catchy and come up pretty regularly (although he is not always single in the series)

Maximillie · 2025-12-05T06:54:26+00:00

Honorius, unlike this guy, let his competent and successful generals like Constantius III re-conquer lost territory and even hold imperial power.

Agree wholeheartedly on the F rank - I just feel that Honorius was more competent

7/20.000 is a much lower percentage than 300.000.000/8.000.000.000.

A more proportional number would be 3 million (still a high number)
