Poll: Favorite historical empire

[ThePirateMan]

Going to have to vote Roman on this one, Greeks had cooler gods but Rome kicked more ass.

... the gods where the same with different names.

For awhile yes, but then rome when all christian... and (in my opinion) the greek gods are more interesting than christianity

Uhm.. didn't the Roman empire have alot of religions within their borders? Until One of the Emperor's ordered it to become 100% Christian, that is.

The Roman Empire, simply because it has helped to united the cultures of Europe. =)

I never heard about the books until I saw the preview.

It just looked like a movie based upon a book.

I still think Clash of the Titans will kick ass.

They got Liam Neeson to play Zeus. He's already like a god, but now, he's the god of gods!

You should read the books, they are totally awesome.

Spoiler

There's a guy who's half goat and he eats cans!

Wouldn't that just be a Satyr?

Well, yeah, bit they did it without eating the hearts of anyone who disagreed.

Wait, I'm thinking of the Aztecs. Crap.

I would have to say the mongols, crazy fucks. Dont know if this is true or not but this makes me think the mongols are the craziest and therfor my favorite.

The mongols would raid villages and such and when they came to a town if they felt like it they would give them a choice "either we kill you all and destroy your town or you give us all your cats". So the town would agree to give them the cats and mongols would leave. They would get some tar or something very flammable, put it on all the cats, set them on fire, release them into the town to cause chaos, laugh THEN kill everyone.

Poor kitties, but seriously helarious.

Greeks had cooler-

They have the best mythology-

Cooler than the Norse?! Oh...

Shit. That's a culture, not an empire. Dammit. I'll go with China, Japan, the easternmost parts. Gunpowder, paper, ninjas, samurais, dragons, the chinese new year, awesome.

British.Opium pushing and slavery ftw!

 

[ArcWinter]

Ottomans, because they have Janissaries.

Only thing bad about that is that janissaries were kidnapped children from the Balkans and forced in a life of servitude and fighting for the Ottomans.

Woah, I never knew that. Despite how cool that is, I'll change my answer to... hmmm... let's say Egyptians. Large stone obelisks never went out of style.

Mongols, they kicked everyone's asses so hard that they started wearing the first steel toed boots because their feet were starting to hurt from all the ass kicking.

Dutch Empire, since I'm Dutch.

We ruled the seas, beat up the English three times until our Stadtholder Willem III gained the English throne... and favoured England over Holland. We never truely recovered and got smashed in the fourth Anglo-Dutch war. ;(

 

[daywalker1776]

The Invisible Empire, which rose on January 12, 2010, oh shit, I said too much
