Xerxes is bound to be one of them given the popularity of the movie 300.

I tend to keep my cities bottom related, although I seem to run out of names quite quickly. Assland, Buttsville, Rearton, Great Anus, Rumpshire, Bum, New Cheeks, Hineyburgh, Backsidium...anyone got any others to add to the list? :lol:

I'm Scottish and I'd have been more disappointed if the civ in the game had been called British. At least there's a chance there might be a Scottish/Celtic civ added in an expansion pack this way, and I suspect that's why they called it what they did - to keep their options open.

It's not piracy till you haven't paid for it.

No! I want a Viking civ with leaders like Erik the Viking and Kirk Douglas.

A wizard did it. :lol:

Maybe he's on strike. :lol:

Yeah, it's a nice idea but it takes away from a players skill and adds more to a players luck which isn't what the game needs. Maybe if you could turn them on or off it would be cool, but I think the devs would rather spend time on other features.

I just played my first game. It was pretty good fun, although I did get annoyed by the timer numerous times - sometimes because it ran out when I was still doing stuff and sometimes because I was sitting for ages turn after turn waiting for the guy who had the biggest civ. The game also...

There's an AC mod already in teh works for Civ IV, barring legal difficulties they reckon it should be out in a year. http://smac.civilization4.net/index.php?title=Main_Page

They did? OK put them in the game then. :D I can't believe I forgot to say this (it's my homeland) but I'd like to see a Scottish civ as well. I notice the civ in the game is called 'English' and not 'British' which certainly means the possibility isn't ruled out. They could have a UU which...
