  1. "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]
  2. "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.
  3. 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)
  4. 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
  5. 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..
  6. "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.
  7. 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
  8. We already are in Empire Nah kicking your asses in the Battle of Quebec certainly was.
  9. 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
  10. Oh god... Well it seems like those Strong, independent African woman (serving in an all woman, elite Archer unit) are showing those racist, white boyz a think or too. That Elephant obviously has white privilege so he deserves to die too!
  11. I dont even know who this DLC is supposed to appeal too. They could have added fucking India (that would be the shit) or done an overhaul of the Persian factions...but nope they gave us some African tribes nobody gives a fuck about. Man, the Empire of the Sands DLC was way cooler...we got fucking African Hyenas, Cool Units with alot of new assests And some of the more unique factions in the entire game that added alot of flavor to an area that was sorely needed it. These ones seem...like they had alot less effort put into them. That's why I think they did it for the Black Panther fans...
  12. Eh there wearing Lionskins and fighting a spearwall of seemingly Greek Mercenaries. I just think it looks stupid. Maybe there high or something...
  13. Though in the case of Rome 2, it's We Wuz Kangz Like hell a half naked Tribemen is going to be able to take on a heavily armored, disciplined and trained Hellesenic Soldier
  14. Lagthera is bisexual not a lesbian Unless of course they gave her a cadre of lesbian viking shield maiden bodyguards... EH....I wouldn't mind if it was a few unique generals like Boudica that come as an event, but it seems a little strange you can recruit female generals now...
  15. Female Leaders – Free LC >Following in Zenobia’s footsteps, Cleopatra and Teuta are now fully playable as faction leaders and generals, along with custom visuals and voice-over. >Important female characters have been added to all campaigns and across all factions. In some cultures, like Rome and Greek – women can only serve a social/political role while in other women can be generals and fight alongside men. >For cultures where women can’t hold public offices there is a special “Cursus Honorum” path that follows the increase in “behind-the-stage” political influence of women. >There are special events (dilemmas) that portray the trials and tribulations associated with women coming to power in ancient times. Usually, there are traditions and prejudice standing in the way. Such events allow the player to recruit a female leader or gain some other bonuses from parties that would oppose such a decision. >Faction leaders of opposite gender can now marry as a diplomatic action, significantly strengthening the relations between the two factions. >The basic marriage action now has political implications. Uh Oh the steam forums are going to be pretty hot for the new few weeks....
  16. Ah but I see a few new that really faking looking female armor set, and that pretty awesome lion shit. But to be honest...i've never heard of these African Kingdoms before. I thought Carthage was the only Empire in Africa at the time?
  17. Lucky fuck. Have fun! Apparently Creative Assembly is now trying to siphon money off the Black Panther crowd
  18. I think Dark Souls would be way more insulting to a devout Christian It's one of the few series who truly represent accurate (to how they we're believed to be) Pagan Gods, including physicality and animal fucking.
  19. Lorgar also had a large collection of books on sailing...he wanted to retire as a Fisherman, UNTIL WITCHIE FUCKING RUINED IT!
  20. I never understood why they made Aragon look like fucking Turok
  21. That's my thoughts exactly. Dales can be pretty creepy as it. Now that she has Naafy, she can threaten to feed people to him to get her message across pretty well. And of course, Dales and her hormones are scary as well.
  22. Which Livia are talking about? The livia that is the epitome of pure fucking evil? Dales is a twenty year old whose basically had to learn everything on the go, been traumatized, and is constantly being hounded by the demons inside her. There situations are utterly different.
