Rhye said:I know, but the single star has lots of other meanings.
Assigning it just the meaning of America is unappropriate.
I was a bit baffled when I first saw the Somalian flag, but it was actually America.Rhye said:If you still aren't convinced, look this page:

13 stars instead mean USA, with no misunderstanding.
Making massive statements about a nations of people without considering that the majority of those people are not represented by the elitist government that they are under and just because those that have money can give the rest of us somewhat of a bad name the USA has as a matter of fact done plenty for other peoples nations including yours so keep your bigotted statements to yourself or we will get the rest of the Civ Fanatics involved in this little pat got it!Rhye said:so what?
That was Firaxis' decision.
Sometimes you Americans believe everything's yours.
A star has a lot of meanings (wtf, look my avatar: it means "World Cup").
On italian football teams shirt for instance, it means "10 Scudetti".
And there are many countries featuring a star in their flag, such as China (in general it can be given a communist meaning).

SilverKnight said:The 13 Stars flag is used because it is a historical representation of the country's conception. It doesn't have to embody everything about the USA, past or present; it merely needs to make people across the world immediately think, "Oh, that worker belongs to the American CIV. In a game." So can we return to normalcy, please?
I can see you never served in the US Military, DUH! Figures with a statement like that. So we end this here and now, no more off topic crap ok. FINISH!
SO back to the game. But was interesting conversation. Have a nice day, and a better tomorrow, hope your dreams and wishes are good, and a better one tomorrow. Its your mod you do with it what you want, and if "we" ever make "fun" of the Italian flag, no response ok.
