I learned that americans seriously underestimate the power of korea (northen) since korea doesn't have a bonus (in default map settings) and korea actualy a has a huge military power (who are all practical slaves to the korean leader) especialy for its size

I learned there's a place in Greenland with 2 consecutive Q's in its name. That's pretty uniqque.

There's also a pretty nifty palindrome on the other side of Greenland.

I hear Boston is lovely and has some terrific sports teams.

I also hear Bostonians are lovely people.

Well so let's talk about a random Bostonian. Hmm, for instance, Brad Marchant... ^^

For his true home, you have to head north of the border.

But he seems like a hard working young adult to me.

I
But Sacco, yandle and thachuck, to name just a few seem nice enough to me.

Borque Neely and Orr are also some nice folks!

You know none besides us will know what in good name where talking about.

And bostonbruins.

I didn't see that post with him.

I'll give you Edgar Poe and BostonBruins (the WL player, not the thugs on skates).

But that's all ! ;o)

Ha.

I love seeing my cause carried from another Bostonian, I presume. Even more a Dr. Seuss character.

But mian there's some excellent people from Boston. Look into brook farm utopia. We have spme great authors, scientists and engineers.

Horton set up a 1v1. Be interesting to chat with another local. Your one of the few I've come across.

Mian, it's Marchand.

And ironic that you give Boston Poe when during his lifetime he loathed the city due to its cadre of famous authors.

Flypurplehamster, yes, I am. Are you the Flypurplehamster from serious discussion?

As for supposed bullshit facts, I've learned there is a highway in Karelia (Northwestern Russia) and none in Oulu/Eastern Finland, because it's faster to go through Karelia if you want to reach Lapland from Southern Finland.

I learned to entire layout of Europe, and it just helped me pass my exam.

I've learned there is a Montana in Bulgaria too.

I've also learned that if the Roman Empire had ever lost even a single key territory, it would not have been able to build as many legions as it did.

I've also learned the problems of supplying your armies and keeping the soldiers healthy enough to fight have been very much exaggerated in historical accounts. Armies are only ever destroyed as a result of fighting after all.

And that whole thing about Britannia ruling the waves... Please. What waves? They aren't important. You just have lines crossing them here and there. Only land areas matter.

:)

I learned that it’s impossible to cross the Straits of Hormuz.

Also, Siberia is the most important place ever.

@Darkruler2005: I most certainly am.

In Poland big map, Katowice - Powiat Bedzinski (Slaskie) connection is missing.

E88, kind of a random thread to be posting that in..

there should be a complatians forum

when you are making a map, you can assign number of armies per turn up to 2147483647.

I have learned that Crete is right next to Alaska! Who knew? (Big thanks to Chaos, BTW)
