  1. That's actually my favorite part of the lore Skyrim introduced. The ancient Nords were actually very Egyptian.
  2. They were light skinned. Colonel you wusn't Persians and shiet Dosen't matter though. The Persian Empires have always been meh to me. Eh, kinda interesting in there relationships to the Greece but pretty bland otherwise.
  3. No. Just no...they look like there wearing fucking pajamas. Fuck Colonel's right i'll take my ninjas thank you.
  4. Hard after watching something like Rome though Rome was so good they had to cancel it...
  5. You can still appreciate Spartacus as a good trashy show Though man oh man are some of the costumes awful...
  6. Nope! Emile mentions the Saber Pilot thing in game, and Halsey mentions him massacring entire militia groups by himself in one of the trailers.
  7. They we're 3's (besides Jorge), they did what they made to do, die to buy time.
  8. He went with Halsey to castle base, but disappeared before Blue Team arrived to extract her. After that he become a recruiter (and second in command) of the new SPARTAN branch.
  9. Yep him and Buckie have a drink in Noble Six's honor in the novella.
  10. We know a little. Basically he was a pilot in the Saber Program, and was an assassin who used to wipe out entire Innie groups from existence single handed. Crazy good assassin.
  11. A majority of the forces within Quebec City we're Militiamen, so French Canadians or English settlers. Who we're on the British side. Since the fight was part of the revolutionary war it counted as a British Victory, but it was Canadians repelling foreign invaders from their soil.
  12. Oh now your trying to argue that! "Guys it-it wasn't the Canadians that kicked our asses!" It was the British! It was the British guys!" Its quite pathetic.
  13. Soldiers and militia is a different matter. Those we're the civilian collaborators. The main reason General Montcalm or whatever wanted to go there was to pave for a greater invasion of Canada. His death, and the mass route of his force ended it. "The city's garrison, a motley assortment of regular troops and militia led by Quebec's provincial governor, General Guy Carleton," It wasn't just British Regulars. Better the devil you know. And please, the Americans continued the trend of British exploitation on there own very, very well. Manifest destiny ring a bell?
  14. Oh 757 Canadians helped the Americans what a massive number. You lost why we won. End of story.
  15. "On May 22, even before the Americans had been completely driven from the province, Carleton ordered a survey to identify the Canadians who had helped the American expedition in and around Quebec City. François Baby, Gabriel-Elzéar Taschereau, and Jenkin Williams travelled the province and counted the Canadians who actively provided such help; they determined that 757 had done so.[49] Carleton was somewhat lenient with minor offenders, and even freed a number of more serious offenders on the promise of good behaviour; however, once the Americans had been driven from the province, measures against supporters of the American cause became harsher, with forced labour to repair American destruction of infrastructure during the army's retreat being a frequent punishment.[60] These measures had the effect of minimizing the public expression of support for the Americans for the rest of the war.[61]
  16. "The Battle of Quebec (French: Bataille de Québec) was fought on December 31, 1775, between American Continental Army forces and the British defenders of Quebec City early in the American Revolutionary War. The battle was the first major defeat of the war for the Americans, and it came with heavy losses. General Richard Montgomery was killed, Benedict Arnold was wounded, and Daniel Morgan and more than 400 men were taken prisoner. The city's garrison, a motley assortment of regular troops and militia led by Quebec's provincial governor, General Guy Carleton, suffered a small number of casualties." They came to "liberate" the Canadian Colonies, but I guess it could have been to cut off their main focus from allies. And whilst there was a small amount of Canadians who wanted to join the revolutionaries, a large majority either wanted to stay out of it, or sided with the British. Alot of American Loyalists ended up here after the war.
  17. That's not how the Canadians saw it. They thought the Americans we're there to take away their way of life (Canadians Colonial laws and systems we're a weird mix between British and French)
  18. British Regulars heavily supported by Canadian irregulars, (it's the Canadians who hid inside and waited for the Rebel troops to pass them before unleashing salvo after salvo of musket fire) I don't want to seem like a dick, but culturally, its treated like a big deal here. Sorry if I came across as rude
  19. It stopped any incursions from Americans into Canada during the rest of the Revolutionary War, had thousands of troops during the actual siege, and resulted in an important American general (one close to Georgie Boy) getting killed. It was a major victory. But whatever helps you sleep at night Colonel..
  20. "Hey guys wanna join the States?" "No we like it here with the Brits" "Well you have too. We aint giving you a choice. This is freedom!" *Attacks a colony that wanted to have nothing to do with the war, gets there asses kicked and there general killed. Runs back home* You guys like to pretend Canadians are pussies or whatever, but every time you've attacked us we've driven you back.
  21. Battle of Quebec was the biggest disaster for the Americans in the entire war Nah it's because you were so deadset on spreading your ideas of freedom, you didn't expect people to fight back. Which happened. Happened again in the War of 1812. Every American invasion against Canadian soil has ended with you guys going home
  22. We already are in Empire Nah kicking your asses in the Battle of Quebec certainly was.
  23. A bad joke. I dont think there was an all woman African unit of warriors during the time peroid, yet Creative Assembly seems to be trying to draw to a certain crowd. I was confused, I just looked at their armor, and it seemed like they we're Greeks or Macedonians, but yeah they seem to be light Africans
