I realize I haven’t played Age of Empires III<\/i> in at least a month. At least<\/i> a month.<\/p>\n
It’s time.<\/p>\n
Napoleon. Frederick the Great. A challenge!<\/p>\n
I shall meet you both on the fields of battle. Amidst the peaks and valleys of the Appalachians, I shall take you both<\/i> on. No allies on my side. This shall be a two-against-one battle. The two of you in your valley. Me in mine. And a trade route — or two — right down the middle.<\/p>\n
I’ll still<\/i> grind you both beneath my boot.<\/p>\n
Who will I destroy first? Napoleon? Will it be you? Or will I go for the easier pickings, and take Frederick first?<\/p>\n
Squirm, Napoleon. Cower, Frederick.<\/p>\n
This will be a battle for the ages. Klingons will write operas of this, centuries hence.<\/p>\n
Bring it on, guys. Bring it on.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
