Could you maybe lend some advice to the EVE Online forum moderators, they don't seem to understand the concept of rule enforcement... wandering through those forums really reminds me of how fantastic the forums here are

the eve forums are much more fun though if you like trolling and flamewars good ol C&P drama

And Something Awful residents. Especially if you like Something Awful residents.

If you want those type of forums they do exist, in fact they are probably the norm, but they are not this forum now and never will be as long as I am entrusted with it's direction.
We attempt to be a beacon of light in a dark uncivilized world that is the Internet.
Sometimes you want to suit up and do battle in the streets.
Other times you want to relax and have an intelligent conversation over a game of chess, (even if you are discussing suiting up and brawling in the streets.)

You didn't make him swear the entire oath to the Night's Watch did you. By Balor the Blessed (hi, Johan ), let the man father children and hold lands!

How do you feel about Sweden being included in Civilisation 5?

How do you feel about Sweden being included in Civilisation 5?

Only appropriate since Denmark is included. Although, whoever wrote the history on Denmark for Civ5 must have been an idiot. According to them, Skåne was Swedish before it was Danish. What.

Hold the phone, I can find no news about a Sweden DLC. What are you talking about?

Harald Blåtand didn't conquer it until the 970's.

That does not make it Swedish before that. Most of Scandinavia was mostly uncivilised until the 900s.

Scania was first mentioned in written texts in the 8th century, stating it was part of Denmark. The province was a part of Denmark under Danish king Harald Bluetooth.

So it has always been Danish, no texts suggests otherwise! And we know that prehistoric events was static until written texts occurred.

Furthermore, each of the Civilisations' maps in Civilization 5 usually indicates their largest expanse, why the double standard for Denmark?
