Same with Kupe using modern Māori, although his in-game dialogue does use some old-ish expressions. Kupe, if he lived, would've likely spoken a language similar to Tahitian or Rarotongan. But without any actual records of how they spoke back then, modern Māori is probably as good as anything else.

@Morningcalm Sorry, I've got one more correction for Kupe, too: At the end of Kupe's Defeat message, can you please change "o mātou mana." to "ō mātou mana." Yep, that one macron over the "o" makes a difference; the phrase doesn't actually make sense without it. I can't believe I missed it...

Hey, @Morningcalm. I've got a couple of fixes for Kupe after relistening to his audio, plus a bit of research from earlier. Can you please replace the ones on the first page with these. Thanks. Declare war (by human): "E tā! Tirohia te rangatira rā me te whakapuakitanga pakanga. Kai tawhiti...

I think I've finally figured out Kupe's defeat message. If you could please replace the current one with the one below, thanks: Defeat: "Kāti, i tino ū paku pakaru te iwi Māori. Ā, ko te mea nui, ka pūmau tonu o mātou mana." Close translation: That's it, the Māori people have been completely...

America (Hard Times Come Again No More) - 7 Arabia (Üsküdara) - 20 Canada (Vive la Canadienne; O Canada) - 15 (18-3). I don't dislike this theme (or any of them, really). I just think using the anthem is a bit of a cop-out. Especially with some of the other Canadian songs they could've chosen...

When I'm playing as the Māori I'll call my religion "Mana Taiao", which basically means "Mana (power, command, prestige) of the Natural World". Would've made a good name for their civ ability rather than just "Mana". But at least it fits in with Kupe's environmentalist agenda.

The bonuses for all the teams have worked for me. Not sure why they haven't be working on your end. Cultists and Wanderers have my favourite bonuses.

^ Yeah, Cultists and Wanderers are my favourites, followed by Pirates. I finally managed to connect to multiplayer Red Death games. It's a steep learning curve from playing with the AI, but definitely a much better game. I was the first one eliminated in my first multiplayer game, but I managed...

Haven't been able to connect to a multiplayer game yet, so I've been playing hotseat. I really like the game. Nice and quick, but the AI is even worse than in the normal game. Uggh, hopefully I can get multiplayer up and running soon.

I've gone over every post from the last two pages. One Māori upvote was missed earlier, which I've corrected here (prior to adding my vote). Otherwise, we should be good to go now. Aztec - Legend of the Five Suns: 4 (7-3). Downvoting a good ability here, since we have so few left. It does...

Australia - Land Down Under: 16 Aztec - Legend of the Five Suns: 15 Greece - Plato's Republic: 21 (20+1). Useful from the beginning and with no effort. Basically a free Forbidden City, which can be doubled with the actual wonder. Makes getting a religion a lot easier too. Japan - Meiji...

Australia - Land Down Under: 20 Aztec - Legend of the Five Suns: 23 Brazil - Amazon: 11 England - Workshop of the World: 2 Greece - Plato's Republic: 24 Japan - Meiji Restoration: 15 Kongo - Nkisi: 23 (22+1). Bonuses for GP points accumulate with more cities, and the bonuses to relics...
