and the point is?

trust me DiM, there's a point.
If Mohammed will not go to the mountain, the mountain must come to Mohammed.

it's not that i don't trust you tnb, it's just that if there's one thing CC doesn't lack, that's promises. we've had lots of things promised to come "in the next update", "at the christmas update", "in the next X months", things that eventually never came and there were always petty excuses like "not enough time", "maybe next time" or "we decided to not do it for god knows what reason". so yeah, maybe you know something we don't, maybe you were even promised something but don't tell me you still believe in santa
so until i see his fat ass coming down the chimney i'll remain a skeptic.

I'm going to back tnb80 up because he does have a point, and I know that point. He can't finish his point if mapmakers don't help out and provide this basic information.

not really, but even if that were true, it would still have been wasted time, whereas my posts had the purpose of expressing my thoughts.
so it's not about time per se, but rather about the way that time is spent.

Has The Bison King described Thyseneal and Celtic 7 Nations yet? I see that Napoleonic Europe is covered.
