Obviously not, but my 'mental image' of the Etruscans has always had a slight mid-eastern touch to it, for one reason for another. And even disregarding that, I find the medieval backround to be quite fitting, it doesn't look overtly mid-eastern to me. And the mid-estern influences could be...

For what it's worth, the slightly middle-eastern touch of the headband is quite close to my idea of what the Etruscans would have been like. The backround on the medieval one didn't come across at all as mid-eastern though, to me it looks like something that could have very well been found in...

You weren't the only one. :p

Yes, but not in the same sense as Lithuania, which had an independent goverment that was based on their native religion. The swedes were a separate people who were trying to govern a people with a different religion and culture. In Lithuania the pagan religion could survive longer because the...

Lithuania had the advantage of being an organized country with kings and all, while the Finns were only a bunch of tribes with no central rule. But indeed, Lithuania has a most interesting history.

Of course, both Lithuania and the Teutonic Order later became assiciated with Poland, so the mistake is somewhat understandable. But still, I was under the impression that the Teutonic Order held Latvia and Estonia but not Lithuania. I might be confusing things though.

A friend of mine (a Swedish scientist, actually), had a similar experience. Mandatory teching of Swedish oin schools does that :rolleyes: . The main point of course was the fact that about 6% of Finns speak Swedish as their first language.

I'm not sure if it's the thing you mean, but you might be able to find some information searching with the term "armed merchant cruiser".

Except of the Finn is a swedish-speaking Finn. :p

The Britannic only served as a hospital ship, and was unarmed. However, the Olympic served as a troop transport and was armed with a "12-pounder gun on the forecastle" and two 4,7" guns on the poop deck. So, as a troop transport the Titanic would have probably been armed as well (hospital ships...

More importantly, they'd be mediterranian cities with blue roofs. :p Of course the cities are perfect for use as Atlantian cities as they are, but with the changes I suggested they could be put to use for other civs as well. They're so cool they'd deserve to be used as widely as possible. :)

Looks great. As expected. :goodjob:

I fance the light blue roofs a lot. Great work. It would be nice to have a version without the more fantasy/science fiction-ish elements for general use (without the statue, the zikkurat-like structure in industrial/modern and the building on the far right on modern, the one with a largish...

Very good, I'd say.

Mind you, I'm not saying that everything should be kept strictly canon, just that I know very little of how the canon has changed since the end of DS9, and that a lot of web-sources offer non-cannon information as 'facts' (I'll return to this below). Of course in order to fill the gaps you'll...
