What the blazings is this? Clearly the mere ramblings of a conspiracy theorist lacking fundamental historical and geological knowledge. Why don't you just say that Cthulhu was before all?
Oh, dude.. I.. never meant to say that. I dreamt about a Great City last night.. with colossal columns and monumental halls. But all was empty, abandoned long ago. Some lost civilization of another age. Terrible and wonderful at once.But... but Cthulhu was before all...
Why did they drop Hammurabi? He featured from the very beginning of Civ and was clearly one of the greatest leaders of his time (or at least after Shamshi-Addu died). It Nebby leader of Bab due to his link with the Jewish stories of the Iron Age?
Slightly offtopic, but I vote for:
Shamshi-Addu as Assyrian leader (arguably not Assyrian, but his reign was massive at the time, greates since Naram-Sin of Agade/Akkad and sometimes termed 'Assyrian interregnum' with regard to Mari)
Hammurabi as Babylonian leader (obvious choice).
Inclusion of Akkadians with Sharrukin/Sargon or Naram-Sin as leader, and (neo-)Sumerians under the Third Dynasty of Ur with either Ur-Nammu or Shulgi as leaders.
Hm. Is there a purely Bronze Age scenario or mod?
@topresch:
there was a Sea Peoples scenario a while age, but it was pretty unstable.
i too would love a bronze age mod/scenario (im currently writing my dissertation about bronze objects from the LB-IA transition in Philistia). i helped work on one for civ3, but have never really found anything that captures the age.
maybe after our degrees we should make one!
Alexander is 356-323 BCE, so sort of in between those two clumps.
