Britain

[America444]

i was looking at the civs in the manual last night and noticed it said britain instead of england that suprised me because on the game it says england. when you go to pick a civ it says england. when you go to pick ai it says england. in diplomacy it says english so whats the deal with britain

Well, in my manual it says: Anglia, because my manual is in polish.

at first they were going to call england britain, but then they changed their minds. The manuals are printed well before the game is released, so they didnt get a chance to change it.

Changing it to England opens the door for user made civs of Scotland, Wales and Ireland. If they'd have left it as Britain it wouldnt have been right, it would have to have been changed to Great Britain. That is a bit too modern a name for civ though. England is OK.

there are many little fas paux in the manual. This probably just slipped through the cracks. Good catch.

Another symptom of the late change is the unexpected presence of that well known English Great Leader, (William) Wallace in the game!

what the hell is a fas paux????

A fas paux is when you stop a game quickly to go the the bathroom.

I didn't know Wallace was in the game

One would assume it's a poorly spelled "faux pas;" that is mistake, error, blunder, etc. Derived from the French for "false step."

well, i speak french and that's what i thought it was but i wasnt sure enough...

Scandanavia is like that too. In one screen, its Scandanavia and in the other, its the Vikings, it confused me at first.

In non-PTW Civ 3, Genghis Khan was a well-known Chinese great leader.
