Absolutely, but that is the whole point of this post. Basically, "You picked X flavour, I wanted Y flavour". As I said, there's no way of twisting this as a game play/design decision. It was an aesthetic decision that the creator of this post (and others including myself) disagree with.

This argument makes no sense. Golden ages aren't an inherently Persian feature. It was a mechanic that Firaxis gave them in Civ 5. The dev team are the people who determine gameplay, there isnt an overriding commandment "thou shalt make Persians dependant on Golden Ages." If they wanted them in...

I'm kind of tempted to think Firaxis has something against the Persians :mischief:. As pointed out in this reddit post there has never been a Iranian wonder in any of the games (unless you count the Taj Mahal or the Mausoleum of Halicarnassus, which I don't). And someone in the comments in there...

Given that Zoroastrianism is in the religions tab, does this confirm C5 as the Persians? The Scythian religion was probably very similar, but it would be a stretch to call them Zoroastrians.

for the sassanids, shahreevar has set you covered pretty well. But just to call some names off the top of my head, Ctesphion (later Baghdad) was the capital. Susa, Istakhr (later Shiraz), Takht-e Soleyman, Hamadan, Nineveh, Derbent, Ardashir-Khwarrah (AKA Gor AKA Firouzabad), Balkh, Bishapur...

this guy's almost as stupid as his grandfather. It's supposed to look like a rose....:hmm:

Saudi Arabia is by no means a theocracy. They are strictly a monarchy, and as long as they have control of the oil and the US backing them that wont change. (ie unlike what happened to the Shah in Iran)

I've heard this before from another source. I wouldnt be surprised if it was true.

Khamenei is the one who endorsed Ahmadinejad's presidency. He must endorse someone for candidacy or they cannot run in the election. What I'm saying is that Ahmadinejad's speeches are just political banter. Khamenei agrees with it, but he's not going to stick his own neck out and say something...

who is 'they'? Where is this evidence do you have that Iranians are nuts. You have stupid comments from the president...and his aide. Hmmm I can remember stupid comments greater in quality (stupidity) and quanitity from your president and a few of his secretaries (ie Rumsfeld). I'm hoping...

I dont know what he's getting at here, I think I'm missing the rest of his argument, and I'm too lazy to read the article. Although this is a point that confuses me, how do hardcore christians defend jews? According to their religious dogma, they should hate jews more than muslims. this is...

Houmie, you are the man. I'm just sad it took me so long to find your mods. It was about time somebody added Zoroastrianism and fixed the Immortal. I cant wait to see those screenshots.

well I think it makes sense for each civ in the game to have at least one or two wonders (from their own countries). The way it currently is, the wonders from many countries in the game are neglected, and ones from others are over-emphasized.

If Einstein said we can, we can! *shakes fist* PS
