Catherine (her Russian to be exact) sounds EXACTLY like a Russian woman I know... which I suspect will startle me every time she speaks in game... They should have gone the politically incorrect way with Stalin, who actually had a surprisingly high-pitched voice (heard a speech, the sound...

I made it... It is called "what language does Ramessess II speak?" (and yes, I did misspell Ramesses) And to spare you having to read it... he speaks Egyptian Arabic. Coptic is not ancient Egyptian (And I belive there are several ancient Egyptian languages), though it is the closest (though...

But wasn't the Hind one of the first true helicopter gunships used? Anyway the Hind is just scary cool

I'd like Alec Baldwin. His voice was just so smooth in the Royal Tenenbaums. There's also some guy who reads a lot of audio books, who's got a real good voice, don't remember his name though. ...Never mind, he's dead, his name was Frank Muller I know this is going to sound sexist (well, it...

I thought France was war-mongering? Isn't Napoelon supposed to be an army-building conquering-guy in this game?

Utopias are for people who don't realize that utopias are the last thing we need. If everything was perfect and fair and efficient and good and what not, everything would be predictable and boring, we would have nothing to complain about, losing about 3/4 of our conversational topics and comedy...

They might've gone with Dari. The eastern dialect spoken in Afghanistan and Tajikistan (and others I believe) which contains far fewer arabic loanwords than Farsi (the Arabic influence is evident in that they do not use the letter 'p' in the name of the language), though Farsi-speakers should be...

They speak Norwegian, sounds like some dialect from the southwestern coast (Sørlandet), though it sounds somewhat weird and me and some others think it sounds a bit like a German or something speaking the words once in a while. But it is absolutely 100 % Norwegian. Whether Norwegian is non-sense...

I have to say I like what you've done here! I prefer Siglo de Oro as a special power and I think your idea for it is better than mine. Though I don't see a way to extend golden ages in the piety tree... do we know anything about the length of golden ages beyond the fact that Reformation grants...

Basically what I suggested with the Berbers. Though I guess one could call them the Moors, if one wanted to (people tend to have alot more immediate associations to the word 'Moor' than to the word 'Berber'). Anyways Moors is basically just what Europeans used as a collective name for the Arabs...

Anyway I hope someone over at Firaxis would consider adding a civilization like the Berbers (or just called 'Maghreb') I suggested. It would be another civilization in Africa, one they have not included before at that, and one that has proper justification to be included.

I see what you mean, my thoughts as well actually, but I ended up just putting it up there any way. Anyway I feel that they should get a combat bonus fighting within their own borders, I'm not really sure if this is enough though. I also feel that they should have a power that has a clear...

I'll add some more (though I don't think I'll have to present these as thoroughly as I did with the Berbers) Spain Leader: Isabella - She’s important, has been included in previous titles and, at the risk of sounding cheesy and PC, adds diversity. Unique unit 1: Conquistador (replaces...

(Building on the Morocco idea) Berber Empire. I would prefer 'Berber Empire' seeing as how they are the indigenous people in the Maghreb (Maghrebi Empire might also work), though they are mostly thoroughly arabized, but I do like general rather than specific names for civs...

It hasn't been spoken for something like 2000 years. And with nahuatl you at least have about one and a half million people who speak the modern version of the language, and this modern version is only some 500 years removed from the original compared to how far removed coptic would be (and that...
