I don't know. Would most people playing as Ramses, whose arch enemy is a Greek named Alexander, expect to build a city named after their arch enemy?
If Civ is about anything, it is about starting out with nothing and seeing how the world evolves as an alternate history.
If the Greeks can...
It would make most sense to use the name of the Egyptian town that was on the site before Alexander remade the city. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhacotis
One little thing that always bugged me was the city of Alexandria being on the Egyptian city list.
If the Greeks manage to conquer Egypt and build Alexandria there (or anywhere else - they built a lot of them) , hey, great. But to have the Egyptians build Alexandria is no different than...
Well, that's the problem when you base the civilizations on leader names; The game starts in 4000 B.C., but you've got leaders who ruled in the 16th Century.
If the Arabs want to conquer Baghdad, as they did in the real world, great. But starting there just feels wrong.
I would ignore the...
Great Dale.
The starting location for the Siamese is quite a bit off. You've got Sukhothai where Bangkok is now, instead of up north about 3 or 4 hexes. Not a big deal being closer to Hanoi, because there are lots of resources around there and you should be able to take them out soon.
I like the Sphinx part of it. But it was never located inside one of those temples.
Couldn't it be separated?
And for the icon, maybe you could grab an image of the one in Las Vegas, which is how it looked before thousands of years of sandblasting took its toll.
I get the same thing. It can be fixed by Alt+Tab to minimize the game and then Alt+Tab once more to bring the game back up. The bug is then gone until the next time you load the game.
Playing Persia on Prince (Prince of Persia? - that was a great game!) at Normal speed, I too found the barbs to be all out of proportion. Stacks and stacks in never-endig waves.
No fun at all.
I have a suggestion you might want to try on; how about making a water lane all across the bottom of the Arabian Peninsula so that you can sail from the Red Sea into the Persian Gulf.
In the real world there has always been a whole lot of commerce between the two areas, and it is really...
Edit: I should have clicked on Ingvina Freyr's attachments before posting!
I think the first one, the glyph for "Land of the Bow" would make an excellent flag. But in solid, not outline form.
==================================================
Maybe a simple, bold representation of the Nubian...
I wouldn't go and bring the Harrapan Indians in to the game. Other than trade and technology, the Indians didn't have any physical influence on the Med.
They never even invaded Persia, which makes Persia a good Eastern limit for the map.
I'm all for the Huns though. But to have them as a...
I'm not even starting a new game until I get my hands on it!
And I'm hoping that you included the St. Bernard pass in the Alps and the Fayum in Egypt.
Also, that leaderhead of Caesar that I posted way above, (the skin-textured bust with a backdrop of the Forum) - if you need any...
No, I'm questioning how you can build metal-using units at all, without having access to copper, tin, or iron.
Or am I completely mistaken? But it seems that I can.
Apologies if I am way screwed up, but my coffee is just kicking in.:confused:
I was surprised that no units require metal (nor a smithy) to build.
Yeah, what's up with that? I thought that I was missing something there, but I kept forgetting to ask.
As for the suggestion about Lascaux Cave - surely that came far too early to put into this game.
As for all of...
