LB some background info from a guy that once read a book:

Caesar was playing D-Day Dice with his mate Titus Labienus. After a bad roll Caesar tried to pick up the dices again, when his general's strong arm hold him back, saying: 'Alea jacta est, you lousy prick'

Caesar reacted this way:

i can almost guarantee i have 'live' sex Bismark, what you do with dead/undead things is entirely up to you  :P

on a side note, i guess 2 guys have tried to have a bit of banter with you as part of the 'fun' atmosphere here - fine, you dont want to play, maybe just a polite moment of silence instead of a snarky comment about someone you dont know eh?  ::)

I thought Bizzies' comeback was pretty funny.

Chill out, it was a joke.  :(

fair dos - apologies

I am often amazed at how much appreciation and knowledge you Europeans have for history. My history books indicated that it was during a dull period during the siege of Alesia that Caesar was playing D&D. He had a first level wizard and cast magic missile. When he rolled a 1 for damage and asked the DM if he could roll again he was told alea jacta est.

LB, Julius was one of the luckiest generals in history.  His outrageous risks should have done him in many times.
Not to mention his habit of sleeping with every woman within reach.  (A known Groghead weakness.)
Some translations of Alea Iacta Est run to earthier translations of an inveterate gambler.  Mostly along the lines of "Throw the dice high."
Remember that on the eve of Pharsalus, the decisive battle of the war with Pompey, Julie spent the night visiting his soldiers around their campfires.
To settle their nerves he told dirty jokes about what they would do to Pompey.
As a visual aid, he carried a cucumber and illustrated the desired action using both hands.

Good news. This game uses the old AGEOD engine, not the PoN one.

Umm.. it's one and the same.

Although, as previously mentioned, it won't be covering the whole world and it's economy & colonization during the industrial revolution as PrON did.   ;)
