Hi guys. I'm thinking about buying my son CivRev for Nintendo DS. He's turned 7 right now and enjoys watching me playing Civ IV, which, obviously, is too complex for him. He's a quite smart kid, best writer, reader and calculator in his class, but still, he's FAR from being a savant and has...

Thanks, so what about these (I think I'll stay with Amazon, the last small computer shop I want to had 2 AGP cards left. In a big electronics store, they had exactly 1!)...

Hi, I know that there are compatibility lists out there somewhere, but I never seem to get it right. <joke ahead:>Is a Geforce6 6800XMLF better thab a GeforceN6 6800XMLF or shoudl I get the Geforce 6800XMLG? So please, help me out, would this...

Thank you, Sodapop. My problem is that I don't have a CD-Writer, so I just use D: as a copy location for the more important files. But if it really affects performance so much, I'll really have a look on how to lessen the amount of data there. Thanks again!

Please, help me getting rid of all those XP features trying to make us immature, knowing everything better. Yes, I know my hard drive D: is almost full, I want it that way!! It's a small partition to store the more sensible data. WTF does Bill Gates care? And why does this "Hard Drive Cleaning...

Incans also sacrificed humans, although I know mainly of child sacrifices. IIRC,the Pawnee and probably other NA tribes too (notably some Pacific coast tribes) practized human sacrifices. The killing of enemy warriors was not rare many tribal cultures, including the plains. In South America...

A tribe for Argentina/Uruguay would definitely be the Charrúa, but I don't see the problem as there already are the Mapuche in, or am I mistaken?

One possible link between Mesoamerica and South America could be the Chibcha of northern Colombia. They're known for their gold artwork (the basis for the El Dorado myth) but are not considered part of the Andean cultures.

Yes, that's probably the most common pattern. Europeans called tribes like other tribes who they had contact with earlier, called them. And it was rarely nice names... @SoG: Name and avatar are simply unrelated. Nahuixtelotzin in Nahuatl means "Honorable Mr. 4-Eyes", a name I gave myself for...

Sorry, if I mainly lurk here and don't post too much. Life's pretty busy lately. @SoG: I'm not a descendant of the Aztecs, I'm just an aficionado historian from Europe who's fascinated by Mesoamerican cultures. And you may bet that I prefer the modern religious belief in Mexico over the...

The original symbol of the Aztecs was an eagle having a human heart in his bill. But due to Christianity all symbols which somehow pointed to human sacrifice were soon altered by the Aztecs, either of fear or because they too started to share the Christian ethics yet still lived their Amerindian...

Please : Xopilli is a Nahuatl=Aztec word, not Incan. It's like having the Iroquiois Jaguar Warriors... IIRC, Akicita is a Sioux word for warrior, definitely a better suggestion than "Savage". I would make the Tomahawk an Iroquois UU, since it was only them and a few others in their region...

link to the thread plz.

Pirates! was the first game I got addicted to when I was a child. IMHO, it was the best game ever, even beats Civ!

I'm on my way converting her. Until now, she had only played Sports games and jump'n run... In 5 years she'll be a Civfanatic, I'm sure. :) 3 years ago she didn't know anything about history and now I can't get her away from the Egyptian history books I gave her. I'm doing my best, but it...
