Why don't you two go to war over "who is the New Rome?" or over "what side of the soft boiled egg should we crack?"

Or better yet, take them out, plop them on the table, and measure!

It's symantics, for God's sake! I say, anyone that wants to call themself the New Rome can call themselves the New Rome! It's up to the rest of the world if they acknowledge it!

OOC: We were actually discussing RL history and not in-game history. In this game anything goes but in real life the fate of the entire universe depends on the resolution of these issues.

Hmmm, good idea. Maybe I should declare Wales as New Rome.

Which would give me good reason to take back old Roman lands... :gnarkgnark:

Telo, I was saying we will build better ships, not that we have. Venice could come in and take Morea right now, but it'd probably be swept aside by Turkish invaders.

You couldn't hope to take Constantinople now, though. Over one hundred thousand Turks with cannons, fleets, and all were already repelled in a recent attempt (1448?). It was only the purchase of those monster Bombards that got the Turks through in 1453.

You greatly underestimate my capabilities. :gnarkgnark:
