1) What age did you start playing strategy games?
7 or 8, I guess.

2) What where the first games you played?
Prince of Persia. Then there was a racing game, 4D Racing something. A strategy game, Romance of the Three Kingdoms 2 which I might still play. And I believe I learnt playing chess with the game, Battle Chess.

3) What is your favourite game?
Hmm, tough to decide. But since I played Final Fantasy VIII, Chrono Trigger and Little Big Adventure 2 again and again over years, I guess they are my favourites.

4) what about it do you like in particular (gameplay graphics models scale)?
I think it's the gameplay, story and the characters that attract me most. I don't care much about graphics, in fact, lately I've been playing with my DS more than anything.

5) Do you believe you have learnt from games?
Sure. I'd like to re-quote this:

Mai inglish is verrie goed thenx toe gayms

And not only language, many more things too.

6) If you like history, did you get into it because of games like age of empires and total war, or the other way round?
I can't really say it's because of the games. Although it might have some influence... Hmm...

7) If Total war, Age Of Empire and Europa Universalis games where to be used as part of education, would you be interested?
Oh I'm sure they'd somehow make it boring. But it's still better than nothing.

Why do you think games used in education are so ....basic
Because they are trying to be so... educational. You have to do it nonchalantly.

9) Can you see any draw backs in using games for education?
No, it's cool.

Any extra comments:
I hate extra comments section in questionnaires.

The game where you try to spot differences between two pictures and then suddenly a ghoul zombie appears. 

I believe I've encountered a bug and I don't know how to solve it.
Here's the thing. I, as an über-powered France, declared war on Japan. Why, you say? Just for the heck of it.
Anyway, Japan isn't unified yet. Fujiwara holds most of the islands, in fact, they have all territories except Settsu (a vassalized Taira) and Kyoto. And somehow the emperor has a few land in Southeast Asia.

Fighting starts and in no time, Fujiwara ask white-peace for themselves. I say cool, and then go on conquering Kyoto, Settsu and the land in Southeast Asia. Having crushed them with %100 war score, I decide it's time for negotiating.
And that's when the problem starts.
I cannot annex them, which is a bummer but oh well.
But the real problem is, I cannot have any kind of treaties with them. Eventhough the game says "it would be accepted", my diplomat just comes back. They don't reject, yet they don't accept either. Nothing, no messages at all.

So, any ideas on how to fix it?

So basically this is over? Because of Nod and Ektwp (I refuse to use your bull**** characters) 's ****ty rule?

I doubt it's their fault. If it's anyone's fault, the former rulers should be put to blame as expanding fast is usually punished by the game. Whatever I do, recruiting ambassadors, diplomats, keeping infamy below 10 etc. I somehow find myself hated by everyone.

And although I myself find it very hard to do, this game should be continued no matter what happens. Have to admit that playing a game where you fight against every single country again and again is kinda discouraging like my Ottoman game. Damn Portuguese, Spanish, Polish, Lithuanian, Genoan (a fun fact, they're no longer an Italian country, they have most of their territory in Russia), Persian, Iraqi, Cretan, never-ending Byzantian and nationalist rebels. I just established a colony in South America.

I'd rather hurt myself than teamkilling another. When it's reflective and I'm dead, I know I died just because of my fault. But if I teamkill -especially a good player- the guilt I feel is sometimes just too much.

Not actually first ever kills but, it's somewhat related.

I recently created a new character and started fighting immediately. In the heat of the action, I teamkilled a mate while trying to make an uber-jumping axe swing. I quickly apologised and swung my axe again, only to kill another teammate. I was so embarrassed that in a few seconds, I left the server and deleted that character.

It was the worst fail ever for me. Probably.

Gavin: I made a suggestion on the bug tracker that a table or rack be added to the tutorial with all the other types of practice weapon on it - two handed sword, lance, shield, javelin, bow, crossbow; you start with the one handed sword, staff, and horse already. Would that fulfill your request?

Pretty much, yes.

After the training ends, I think we should be able to continue free training by ourselves like the melee fight. I mean, we can fight again and again in the melee section but once we hit all the targets in lancing or archery, it just ends like that.

All is well, except the default button for kicking is E, not Y. Y is for talking you know.

I take the second shield when I have nothing better to equip, since it's free.

So, making the second shield cost some or adding more variety to the equipments is likely to solve the problem.

Not nakedness perhaps but I've got an idea. Hero mode! Everyone (with very minimum cash, enough to buy peasant or bandit sets) against the hero (can equip all those fancy stuff but not bows perhaps). In the first round, someone is selected by luck, then who beats the hero gets to be the hero. Yeah.

Uhm... When I applied, I said I didn't have a serial.
Now I have. Don't I have a bigger chance of getting my chance to test Warband if I have a serial?

You can't apply again now, so, no.

Argh, the US? I'm halfway round the world (la-la la la) so that must mean I won't be getting the invitation.

Meh, fine, it's your loss anyway. You, the chosen ones, just missed the chance to beat a guy who hasn't played M&B for over at least 4 months.
