    The Sumeria Project- Play as the Sumerians as Firaxis Intended!

    Hmm I wonder if Firaxis really intended this to be Sumeria, has it been confirmed? The reason I ask is because the city Akkad (Aggade) and the ruler Sargon is actually post-sumerian period (which was characterized by independent city-states). Sargon came from the northern part of mesopotamia...

    Patch News!

    Cro-magnon refers to the first homo sapiens sapiens in europe living around 35.000-10.000 years ago. Neanderthals are designated Homo Sapiens Neandethalis and we are designated Homo Sapiens Sapiens. Neanderthals and homo sapiens sapiens might not have been so different as you suggest, it is...

    Failed to Initialize Renderer

    I don't have the game yet, but I have an suggestion: In the error message it just says 'failed to initialize renderer', so I thought that it might be the video renderer that failed initialize - and not the 3d renderer. So try this: Download one of the many video codec packages that is out...
