I agree that the negativity is unwarranted despite the deadly mistake of doing a beta release

And its good you are standing with Luthier / Oleg n crew.



now for the gumball 2000




War is young men dying and old men talking. You know this. Ignore the politics.





This war will never be forgotten, nor will the heroes who fight in it.





Myrmidons! My brothers of the sword! I would rather fight beside you than any army of thousands! Let no man forget how menacing we are, we are lions! Do you know what's waiting beyond that beach? Immortality! Take it! It's yours!





Are the stories true? They say your mother was an immortal godess. They say you can't be killed.
I wouldn't be bothering with the shield then, would I?
The Thesselonian you're fighting... he's the biggest man i've ever seen. I wouldn't want to fight him.
Thats why no-one will remember your name.







Yes, he's a gifted killer. But he threatens everything I've built. Before me, Greece was nothing. I brought all the Greek kingdoms together. I created a nation out of fire worshippers and snake eaters! I build the future Nestor, Me! Achilles is the past. A man who fights for no flag. A man loyal to no country.




Never. You're a man of honour.







You have your swords. I have my tricks. We play with the toys the gods give us.





Briseis: Do you enjoy provoking me?








I've fought many wars in my time. Some I've fought for land, some for power, some for glory. I suppose fighting for love makes more sense than all the rest.


50,000 Greeks did not cross the sea to watch your brother fight. You know this.

You want me to look upon your army and tremble? Well I see them. I see 50,000 men brought here to fight for one man's greed.






If you come, we'll never be safe. Men will hunt us, the gods will curse us, but I'll love you. Until the day they burn my body, I'll love you.

I want her back so I can kill her with my own two hands, and I won't rest till I've burned Troy to the ground.


Father, you are a great king, because you love your country so much. Every blade of grass, every grain of sand, every rock in the river... You love all of Troy. That is the way I love Helen.


Go home, prince. Drink some wine, make love to your wife. Tomorrow, we'll have our war.
You speak of war as if it's a game. But how many wives wait at Troy's gates for husbands they'll never see again?
Perhaps your brother can comfort them. I hear he's good at charming other men's wives.








I loved my boy from the moment he opened his eyes until the moment you closed them.







I'll tell you a secret. Something they don't teach you in your temple. The Gods envy us. They envy us because we're mortal, because any moment might be our last. Everything is more beautiful because we're doomed. You will never be lovelier than you are now. We will never be here again.

Of all the warlords loved by the gods, I hate him the most.








If you stay in Larissa, you will find peace. You will find a wonderful woman, and you will have sons and daughters, who will have children. And they'll all love you and remember your name. But when your children are dead, and their children after them, your name will be forgotten... If you go to Troy, glory will be yours. They will write stories about your victories in thousands of years! And the world will remember your name. But if you go to Troy, you will never come back... for your glory walks hand-in-hand with your doom. And I shall never see you again.







You say you're willing to die for love but you know nothing about dying and you know nothing about love!


You're still my enemy in the morning.
You're still my enemy tonight. But even enemies can show respect.












Peace is for the women, and the weak. Empires are forged by war.

You gave me peace in a lifetime of war.
