Apparently its from a WarCor which the others all have been so far, so it's probably legit. It'll be posted officially tomorrow if the pattern so far is anything to go by.
IMO this is clearly not an official Communication. Just look at the three previous images to realize the graphic quality gap and the incoherence of the stylistic line. or the artistic director of Corvus Belli has decommissioned. We will see well but I have big doubts!
The last three were all posted by official Infinity accounts 24 hours after they first appeared online.
You're right, of course - I was insufficiently precise in my wording. The Byzantines can make a credible claim to continuity with the classical Roman Empire, for all that none of its institutions had survived and they were very different societies. But then you get into a Ship of Theseus problem - since the change was gradual, how do you say when or if they became distinct empires with no real continuity bar the claim of such? I was more commenting on your assertion that all Christians had to believe in the elements of the Nicene Creed, when it didn't exist for the first three centuries of the church's existence and the Christian conception of faith used to be closer to the Jewish one, of questioning dogma and precepts to better understand god, which often meant coming to the conclusion that earlier teachings were irreparably flawed, before the church went all authoritarian. Yeah, almost all wars ultimately come down to resources or territory for those same resources. Whatever high-minded claims of faith, or liberation, or whatever are made, resources are at the root of the vast, vast majority of wars. Even if you're theoretically the defenders in a given war and the aggressors have no obvious resource-based motive but are instead fighting for their own freedom or survival or rights or whatever, it's usually because of a past conflict where the aggressors of this war were conquered for resources - slave rebellions count, considering the very literal meaning of 'human resources' in those cases. If this is legit, my best friend and main opponent will be very happy to hear that IA are featuring in this book!
The quality's been up and down through them. I thought the 2nd one was fake to start with to, but turned out to be legit.
Exactly!! On the other hand I would be very happy if we had news of the IA in this book…but please with another graphic line
Huzzah! Ever since the Nicene Creed, that is the short checklist of the 'minimum standard of commonality'. If you don't believe each and every one of those points (whether or not your particular denomination says the Creed in service), according to all ecumenical councils since 325AD, you're not Christian. (Yes, this means that some fairly large sects that claim to be Christian actually aren't. In the interests of preventing flame wars, I'm not going to name names.) That has been a point of understanding between the Catholics, Orthodox, Copts, and Ethopians since 325AD, and between them and the various Protestants since about 1800AD.
It's surprising to see people having so much troubles when someone tries to well "define" what in the end minimum beliefs requirements "to count as Christian". But we are in the world where vegans who eat chicken consider themselfs vegans, soo .... yeah.....
Hey, if some PanO/MO players like shouting Deus Vult (God Wills It), I'm going to step up for Kill them all and let God sort them out. Though personally I prefer In hoc signo vinces (by this sign you will conquer). Besides, I've insisted ever since Aida's mini was released that in any game where she is present, if you kill her, you win the metagame, regardless of your tabletop victory conditions.
Obviously I didn't (only) ment vegans, but rather different "type of people" (very common in west). But I will leave that riddle for the readers to solve.
Yeah, I know it is now, and has been for most of two millennia. I was just trying to be cheeky and ask if Christians in the preceding ~295 years post-crucifixian-pre-Nicene-Creed did not count as Christian, since your initial wording was 'belief in the Nicene Creed' was required, not belief in the tenets of the Nicene Creed. Was just me trying to be a smart-arse, didn't mean to make a big thing of it, sorry. Also, there are... either vegetarians or vegans, forget which, here in Australia who eat kangaroo meat, as since we came in and mucked up the ecosystem, roos are reproducing out of control and it is decidedly less harmful to them to cull them and use roo meat to eat than either not culling them and letting them overpopulate themselves to death or culling them and leaving their rotting corpses where they lie. One of the central tenets of veganism is doing the least harm to animals, after all (which all too many vegans ignore human animals in that, and go for foods that, while they do less harm to non-human animals, do great harm to humans in various ways, almost universally poor humans), and in an overpopulation scenario culling the population and funding said culling with the resources you gain from the dead animal does far less damage to them than leaving them be.
This is quite a mistery. Just a little anecdote (a bit, well a lot, offtopic). Few months ago I was talking with a middle age lady about a diet. She said she's a strict vegetarian, cool, and then I asked her, what's your main source of protein. She replied "fish and turkey"....
