What kind of stupid diatribe is this?

First I don't need a state that would succeed for centuries. A century in
G2 would be 800 turns. That would take 15 years of real life playing time.
Don't think it is going to happen.

What is wrong with the warriors like Attila the Hun? Why can't I play like
a warrior faction? I want to run around and conquer factions, not build up
some boring society or state.

And whats that crap about Western christianity? This has no comparison in
G2.

It's my $2.50. I'll play like I want to. Don't be telling anyone else how
to play.
