I'd rather play Total War, Empires.
Me, too. The one thing I hate about playing France is that it is a catholic country and I have to spread that shit around. At least with Rome Total War I would always sack and burn Jerusalem and exterminate the population just for the hell of it.
In reviewing in this thread I came across this bit of "wisdom" from our batshit crazy OPer.
Quote:Alter2Ego Wrote: You do understand why the word "and" is used after the semi-colon in verse 6; don't you? The word "and" is used when separating independent clauses. A mere comma could have been used to separate the two statements listed above. But the translator went further by using a semi-colon, which is the strongest indication of an independent clause.
Apparently this shithead does not understand that ancient Greek was written a) in all capitals,
b) without spacing between words
c) without punctuation, and
d) with the use of certain abbreviations.
A demonstration on a 4th century text from the Codex Sinaiticus of some of her holy horseshit is contained on this site.

So, when you start whining about commas and semi-colons understand that you are elevating the translator to the status of "holy" author because none of that shit appeared in the original and is merely a human interpretation designed to make it easier for fools like Alter to read.
