Ming: Klytus, I'm bored. What plaything can you offer me today?
Klytus: An obscure body in the S-K system. The inhabitants refer to it as the planet...Earth.
Ming: How peaceful it looks...[Causes an earthquake.]
Klytus: Most effective, Your Majesty. Will you destroy this...ah...Earth?
Ming: Later. I like to play with things a while, before annihilation. - Flash Gordon (1980)
I’m sorry, Marcus, but I need you to do this for me. It’s all for the horses, really. As you may have heard, we just discovered the technology for equites, which are Rome’s noble cavalry. They’re 10% more expensive than vanilla cavalry, but they’re also 10% more effective because of their discipline bonus. They’ll make a nice addition to our legions. But there’s one little problem. We don’t have any horses.
