"nos" is the direct object, not the subject. The subject (I believe because I can't hear the beginning) is "God", which he is speaking directly to, so the singular second person is appropriate. The little I've heard from the voice actor sounds like peninsular Spanish to me. The "Yo somos" seems...

I actually dislike that too, I would prefer to have leaders' names in their original form (as much as possible), but don't really expect to ever get that. Hey at least I am self-consistent :p

Your first paragraph is in agreement with what I said, actually. I was saying that he was Spanish because he was Mallorqui. That does not make him any less Mallorqui though. For your third paragraph, no. Your name does not depend on the language people are speaking. It is what it is. If your...

Oh, I have no problem with people expressing their opinion, that's fine. But saying "Spanish people don't have a problem with this symbol" is not an opinion, it's a statement of fact, and as such you should be prepared to be challenged about it. For the record, the office of tourism is...

I was thinking about statements such as this one: You are not Spanish yourself, right? If actual Spanish people here tell you that they see a problem, and your answer is, "I think Spanish people don't see a problem", well, it comes across as weird. It's not a big deal, but still, you should...

Actually, more than the bull (which, meh), I was a bit disappointed by the representation of Felipe. He was the most boring, pious, reclusive person you could imagine, and here... he's some sort of hotblooded charmer? Huh. I mean, sure, it's more amusing this way, so it's probably better, but it...

I am Spanish, and pretty much agree with everything Josephias wrote here. I don't mind the bull per se (there are worse choices), but the specific bull they've chosen is horrible. I think Texas before I think Spain. And most of the other options mentioned here would have been better. I...

Note that in the demo you have severly stunted scientific progress (30+ turns for your first tech), so you will only be able to see exploration, and the beginning of the virtue system.

I guess they don't overlap because it would be very hard to code. Otherwise, I think limiting the proximity of satellites to each other (say, at least 2 tiles between them) would make them more fun than now, where some satellites are quite hard to place because they have huge influence zones...

Another possibility is to have miasma change colour every second or so, say blue -> green -> purple -> blue, that way it would be visible on all tiles and be more eye-catching.

Indeed, but an internal trade route is getting twice as much, because you are on both ends of the route, and it doesn't benefit an opposing leader, and it's safer because it will only travel through your own territory (yes you can get the fence for that, but it takes a while). Same for...

I think that, for starters, internal trade routes should count for both cities involved, so that you actually have a reason to send trade routes to other players.

It's difficult to make a distinction between a motto and a slogan. I think "Homo mensura" is a perfect motto for Purity. While it would "evolve" a bit from the original meaning of the phrase, it evokes anthropocentrism, and a sense that there is an unmovable, absolute ideal of humankind. The...

I would guess the same restrinctions apply to the earthling settlements as those for normal outposts. Afterall, where's the conflict otherwise? Finding a place to settle the remains of the Human race in an already claimed planet leads to interesting decisions. Adding them to the slums of your...

That's -huh- interesting. What are you quoting?
