Well yes but the description of the tech itself is still beyond childish, talking as if it was the stone age before their association or whatever was created, and men/women were all evil foolish ignorant tree burners/choopers, but thankfully their association or whatever (overlooking similar instances in other countries perhaps) were there.
It's interesting because it does feel like some civ4 entries were made by different people, i have noticed this while modding, some entries and asset names for example make a lot of sense, but some are all over the place and so unprofessional seeming xd if i may say but anyways etc, like kremlin entries (about that they didn't spare stalin it seems though upon rechecking: "Josef Stalin drove the German invaders from the gates of Moscow - perhaps the greatest service that any Russian ruler has ever performed for his country. (It was also here that Stalin planned the systematic extermination of millions of his own people.)"; oh but the mount rushmore builders didn't kill anyone, that must be great xd. (edit: as for me i stayed neutral or kept as such and only wanted to represent it accurately for better or worse that it was xd, as for stalin i don't remember if i changed his pedia entry unlike mao but anyways etc, but i did give him a nice leader-specific music if i may say but anyways etc (link in my mod's git readme's copyright section, but for stalin i had chosen this one for example:
https://www.silvermansound.com/free-music/soviet-march?utm_source=chatgpt.com but anyways etc)). Obelisk entries were very clean in base civ4 it seems:
but then at some point, in bts i guess it became this for the monument building:
and this for the egyptian obelisk (which was a nice distinction to make in asset name, if only it was consistent) (edit: note that txt key entries in bts "obelisk" vs "egyptian obelisk" are especially inconsistent, using "new" or "egyptian" optionally xd)
So it seems like some people made the right at least consistent names, while others did whatever or simply had another mind about it if i may say but anyways etc, and i noticed this in other entries too, so again if someone as you said were to say civ4 was possibly partially or totally outsourced, it would make sense when it comes to these and other ones, but again i don't know hehe as i'm not knowledgeable about these but thanks for feedback i mean thanks.
edit: also `PERIA_IMMORTAL` xd somehow carried out through the whole game assets
edit 2: about this, one of the things i liked to fix is the scandinavia entry, the berserker itself is super weird (and they use genghis khan button for barbarian, which i think i forgot to mention maybe(?) but that i took from your mod so thanks for thsi too hehe!) but at this point i didn't trust their entry, and used other onlie sources to highlight how the vikings were in fact a profession (from what i gathered of it in said sources as i'm otherwise not too knowledgeable about these except some vague cultural intuition/impression about it xd) while the nation were the norse/scandinavians, perhaps with the overlap causing the confusion as one of the sources say (many vikings were norse, but all norsemen were not vikings to paraphrase it, entry in my pedia xd but source i took it from was
https://rideandseek.com/who-were-the-norsemen/ if it is accurate as i don't know too much to be sure but seemed reliable xd (but would ave to be checked if one wants to eb (extra) sure xd) so my unit is like TXT_KEY_UNIT_SCANDINAVIA_VIKING_PEDIA for the civ-specific unit of the scandinavian empire but anyways etc)
About the internet meme i didn't know! Yes seeing it like that it makes a lot of sense, but it is a bit short sighted though still xd to have made it such, for example i wanted to change advanced flight tech sound or unit promotions or whatever at some point to a helicopter meme too... (lower video sound xd as bit loud maybe):
, but then i thought better not xd and was bit tedious, which is maybe fine as such.
As for the kremlin building again for its location i mean but anyways etc, they did name "chichen itza" the world wonder, which would be like like having a "paris" or "washington" wonder xd if i'm not mistaken, in my mod i renamed it to temple of kukulcan which i think is an interesting perspective (shameless self promotion xd but anyways etc)
