With Conquests' newScientific leaders feature, I need to find better lists for the improved city and leader lists I've already composed.

For instance, look at the lists for the Celts, the Mongols, the Byzantine and the Romans :

CELTS

Maredudd ap Owain
Grufudd ap Llewelyn
Rhodri Mawr


MONGOLS

Ulan Bator
Minzu Wenyibao
Kumujil-yin Qoro

BYZANTINES:

Geminus (not Byzantine!!!!)
Empedocles of Acragas (not Byzantine :lol: )
Apollonius of Tyana (not Byzantine!!!!)
Callinicus of Heliopolis
Ctesibius (not Byzantine!!!!)

ROMAN:

Leonardo da Vinci
Galileo Galilei
Enrico Fermi
Guglieilmo Marconi
Lucretius

:rolleyes:


Well, you get the picture. So, we need new lists. Good ones please, with a min. of 5.

I feel your pain on the Roman list calgaus, most definatley I do...

I think we take culutral leaders, anbd make them "scientific" leaders- since science in the gam ealso represent cultural innovation...

as such, here is an example that can go on the list for Rome..

Pliny
Cicero
Ovid
Tiberius Gracchus

"Grufudd ap Llewelyn"!?!? -- funny, I was always told my ancestor's name (not kidding) was "Llewelyn ap Gruffydd", last ruler of Wales. Of course, "Grufudd" / "Gruffydd" is a matter of transliteration, but the order of the names is not!

Claudios Galenos (~120-200 AD): a Roman doctor, who's medical knowledge was lost during the dark ages, and the same level of medical care was achieved in the 1900's.

Archimedes
Leonardo Fibonacci (see Fibonacci numbers and rabbits, also gold ratio!)
Alessandro Volta (batteries)
Amedeo Avogadro (chemistry)
Giuseppe Ravizza (typewriter)
Giulio Natta (propylene)

If you want some cultural:
Dante Alighieri
Alessandro Manzoni

Isn't Ulan Bator the capital city of modern Mongolia, not some smart scientific dude?

Is it hard to imagine them being both :lol:

Actually, I've no idea if it's a fake name for a scientist or not. BTW, what did he do (if he's real)?

Ulaanbaatar (which is a different transliteration of Ulan Bator) means "Red Hero" in Mongolian, according to Encarta. This is what the city has been renamed to after Communists took over in 1924. Before that it was name Urga.

So I doubt there was a Mongolian scientist named "Red Hero"! :lol:

I dont think you understand calgacus, like many other do NOT want non-Roman scientists- which what you posted- your list is of Italians, which my freind, are a far cry from Romans
