    This week:

    Played the Helen Of Troy campaign in Empire Earth.

    Watched a documentary on the excavations of the site believed to have been Troy.

    Watched the old 1956 Helen of Troy movie. (Very good troop and seige tower scenes even if the actual hand to hand combat was lame).

    Go Homer!

    I feel like flaming people. Instead I'm listening to light and fluffy music to try and push back the urges.

    Troy has been found some 80 years before(if I'm not mistaken). It was a real city and the 10-years-siege was real too.

    Yes, Troy (Ilion) was a real city. The war was a real one. Around the same time there was also a big struggle on the Crete. Plus, it's placed in time shortly before the downfall on Mycenaean culture and establishing of the modern Sparta. One layer of Troy was destroyed at that time by fire and probably some fighting. Everything is set in the right course of events. I mean, if you put aside the Greek gods, the Helena & Paris thing etc. Oh well, just why wouldn't a prince of Ilion seduce a wife of a Spartan king, anyway. I guess it would be a good reason for a war, as a serious affront to royal honour, therefore offence to the gods the king served together with his country, et voila! We have a good reason to get rid of the wretched Troyans blocking the sea way to Pont. And we need the damned copper (not oil) :rolleyes:

    Jaguar, I think the answer to your question is no.
    No you would not be still hungry and I'm pretty sure there would be no calories either.

    I think i'll disappear from the boards for a while... anyone needing to know why knows why, and the duration is around a week.

    So, see you later. Try not to make a new RB when i'm not in the first poster race. (Yea, right)
