Vietnam and Thailand do not really qualify in my eye as civilizations (merely countries) - Thailand/Siam is not in any way old - it settled from China a mere 700 years ago - It was only accelerated to fame because the colonial powers left it alone (to act as a convenient buffer zone between the...
Strange - I thought the US used marines (Continental Marines) as early as the war of independence and also in the first Barbary war to invade Tripoli. I still hate the idea of a Marine UU - I just don't see how the US marines differ significantly from other countries' marines. England would have...
I can't wait to see this mod complete my mouse finger is twitching in anticipation.
I'm busy crushing the world as Israel in the original mod (surprised at how powerful they are) but my mind is already thinking ahead to the X pack.
Although Hitler didn't actually have a problem with blacks, indeed there was a black divison of the SS - and a muslim one too (the Fez Brigade of Bosnia). Not that this fact detracts from the feelings that black americans held towards nazis.

The encyclopeadia...
My Jewish grandfather always told me that human sacrifice was practiced by some of the kingdoms of Israel BC, and that human sacrifice is not forbidden by the Talmud. I tried to do some research on this but just kept stumbling across right wing propaganda
EDIT: I just want to make it clear...
ManiKarnika Ghat is a possible hindu wonder - available with Ceremonial burial (which will need to be renamed to something slightly different in view of the fact that not all religions bury) - it is an ancient burning ghat in the oldest, still inhabited, city in the world. A ghat is where hindus...
Perhaps Angkor What could be a Budhist wonder.
For Northern Europe you could have the Nebra Star disc - it could increase scientific output by a small amount that fell at around 1600bc.
Pre-Islamic Arabs were largely Christian and Jewish (in religious terms) - there was quite heavy pagan elements intergrated into their beliefs, such as they revered the three daughters of Allah. Many Arab cities were Judaised and many christianised - it would be possible to assign them either...
