Oh - one minor bit of trivia. The subject headers from the second half of the game came from the soundtrack to the movie Gladiator. Just for those of you who keep track of these types of things..

Cheers,

And so, in the end, we all end up dancing to the slow beats of the snake charmer dude... The flying carpets zoom over-head as Persia cruises to a 19-center solo victory. Carthaginians everywhere barely look up at the news, busy as they are at turning their swords into plow-shares. And in the northern provinces, Rome ekes out a narrow survival by slipping into the quiet hills of Vindobona.

A big congratulations to Mike for the solo, and a hearty thank you to all of you players for chasing this one all the way to the end. I've always had a soft spot for the Ancient Med variant, and I seriously enjoyed seeing this one play itself out.

EOGs are, of course, always welcome.

Cheers, my fellow Ancient Mediterranean Warriors. =)
