O.k. Subtlety will not work with you Phil. Here goes:

1. This IS a fantasy game.

2. I did the interior maps. Clayton Bunce did the endsheets. We missed the British errors. Yes, the endsheets are incorrect. "Wildly inaccurate" is not how I would characterize these errors on a map of this scale. You are, of course, free to make whatever statements bring you peace.

3. As with the forward in the book, if you are using the maps to navigate Earth, write your graduate thesis or plot your conquest of Roman Europe, you really need to review your sources. We have never made the claim Roma Imperious is a historic resource.

4. It is still a beautiful map. We got great feedback from attendees of cons, GENCon, retailers, playtesters and fans in general. It was originally going to be a promotional item. Our fans asked us to sell them so they could get access.

5. And this is important Phil, precisely how does it affect game play? If it truly destroys the game for you, you should not have bought it. We have plenty of previews available including the endsheets.

6. Roma Imperious is not for everyone. Each person needs to decide if it meets their taste. We have been very open in our advertising about this being a fantasy game.

Phil, this is starting to get old. I have seen you post about this before on other sites.

To any other folks who might read this, I apologize to the alternate 708 A.D. Roman citizens living in Britannia who might be offended. :-)
