朕 was only used from the Qing dynasty and later. 寡人 is probably a better honorific for her time. I am by no means an expert. However she speaks normal, very unimpressive (for her status level) mandarin. I think the designers were trying to go with the most approachable...

Let's pretend your subjects are super sad that you are conquering half the world. Sure. It makes sense. That.

I would complain less if I were swamped by hordes of rebels or dealing with a civil war - that makes sense. The people of Athens being unhappy because they just sacked their greatest enemy's city... is idiotic though. My point is these "happiness penalties" begin in earnest. It is possible...

Another note.... these unhappiness penalties are extremely harsh. I was playing on a small map, and even at 8 cities, they really slap the penalization on you. And simply from a game design perspective, punishment for winning wars? WTF? SOMETIMES it can and should be difficult to expand if you...

This is simply a broken part of the game. Case closed.

Well, given that the basic premise of reality is that time moves forwards, Space Romans are not that weird. They existed in the past, and if history were different, and they defeated the barbarians in the 5th century, they would still exist now... so, not that wierd. Whereas Americans, by no...

I just played a war game, and during those turns of warfare, the game shines. However, during peacetime, it gets rather boring fast. Happiness is broken, which is also super, super, super annoying. Did I tell you it's annoying?

Iroquis are barbs.

City State. It can have a special curse about it that causes everyone to randomly go to war over it.

The mandarin of Wu Zetian sounds quite proper, but not commanding like I would imagine. She is a Chinese native from mid China, and has neither a northern or southern accent.

Agree. Both of these will probably eventually be added, I just thought it was dumb to not have them from the outset. I mean, dayum, Iriqouis? That's important to people who know the minutiae of US history, and of course reflects the typical US attitude of "if it's important to us, of course it...

Ask Shaka Zulu.

Eh, frankly I think France is a lot less important than people take it for. How many people speak French today? How many people speak Spanish today? Nuff said.

Instead of a future expansion pack retreading the same old territory of the "Colonial" era or the "Modern" era they should make one that is about leaders. I am pretty tired of the same 2-3 leaders. I think it would be fun to have 5-6 for major nations and at least two for even the most minor...

Seriously... Spain and Mongolia. They were ruling most of the world in their respective eras. 300 million and some still speak Spanish, write in Spanish,etc. England/GB debate aside (sorry it's mostly semantic), where are Spain/Mongolia? I am going to propose some radical stuff: -France, +...

Um... they need to fix this. A whole part of the game seems to be BETTER LEFT IGNORED. What do? Add what people do in real life when their happiness is -150 with the government: Revolution (into other civs), Succession (into other civs), Rebellion (City States form) and/or Immigration...

Spain and Mongolia need to be added, fun stuff like Siam and ESPECIALLY the lame Iroqois (seriously, both the Mongols and the Spanish are/were more important than a bunch of barbs). If we are going to go the whole Barbs route, I can imagine the Huns and Goths are better choices.

I'm not sure why Americans are arguing if this is a problem or not. If George Washington had an Irish brogue or was speaking Dutch it might excite some vague feeling of understanding from them. The leaders, to avoid controversy, should speak the language of the modern country which they are...

1. Make desert. 2. Call it peace.

It's their history and culture, they have a right to be pissed if it's wrong. I suppose it's the same as having a game where the Swedes, Danes and Finns all speak German. It's the same thing anyway, right? Whatever!
