Changes to some annoying name errors, plus Canada civ

[Wyz_sub10]

When (if) the editor is ever changed to allow the addition of Civs, you will see a lot more interest in modpacks, I think.

I've done civ mods for Canada, Spain, the Vikings and Mongols, but I don't want to replace the current civs.

I guess we'll just have to wait.

Russia - leader added

Donskoi, a defeater of the Mongols is included.

Donskoi means 'people of the Don' and refers specifically to the Don Cossacks. Who may or may not have kicked Mongol bootie; it's not a person's name.

To reply a message earlier on, Canada did have contribution in Physics too. Prof. Ernest Rutherford discovered atoms have a core of neutrons & protons surrounded by outer shells of electrons when he was teaching at McGill University.

Ibores,

Dmitri Donskoi was grand duke of Moscow (1359-89). He successfully resisted Lithuanian attempts to invade Moscow, and was the first Russian prince since the Mongol conquest who dared to wage open war on the Tatars.

Just to add...Civ3 uses one name for the leaders. I figured Donskoi would be better than Dmitir for identifying him to most people.

just a note he said "famus for" not things created of Invented in Canada.
I mean when I perform CPR on those CPR dummies I don't think of Canada.

 

[Wyz_sub10]

Just because you don't know where something was invented, doesn't mean that invention is less important. I don't think of where the automobile was invented when I drive my car. So what?

By your logic, Civ3 should be filled with stereotypes because that's what people associate with nationalities.

It's funny you know when you think about it, When ever Canada comes up on some forum people(and it's usually Americains, no NOT ALL Americains, I know many and they don't feel this way, it's usually some southern hick who has just come out from hiding under a rock) always jump in and talk as if Canada is some poor, under developed, 3rd world, untechnolocial, disadvantaged, brain dead, untalented, vast waste land of a country. BUT Guess What? Life Exists here! OH MY GOD WHAT A SHOCK for some of you!

Canada (along with EVERY OTHER COUNTRY) has a right to be in this game, this landmass did exists 4,000 years ago (as did every other one in the game), so Canada was not it's name then, BIG DEAL! Neither was America. It's a game and a game at that, what if I wanted to add the Untied Igloo's of Zooblovia as a country, OH NO perish that thought.


So flame me now (not to much I don't want my igloo to melt, it's having a hard enough time in this 55'F weather). Now if I may return to hearding the moose, collecting the maple syrup, I've got to get moving so I can get down and watch the Geese battle the Ducks on the pond!


I AM CANADIAN (duh if you had not figured that out yet).

 

[SE-sPOON]

Canada rules !

and no I'm not Canadian..

 

[Lt_Tarantulas]

ok ppl...

I saw some good argument and some very stupid one on this topic....

I mean geez.... ppl want there home country in it of course, thats WHY it allow you to change the name of it when u start a new game, did anyone realize that little point?

Whats wrong with that? absoluctly nothing.

We all know america and alot of other 'civ' are there JUST so the game will sell CUZ ppl want they're home country in it

People dont want to play as the uhhjakalus who were around back then, They want to play as themself, have a link to they're life.

Note, to the guy who said canada is a COLONY, guess what bob? so are the United State Of America! and about half the country on this planet nearly. so your point is......?


This is a game ppl, and like all game it allow who to choose your name, or character class or such, its called customization.

Seat back, take whatever name of civ suits your mood, modify the game as you want to your liking, and ENJOY it.


Personaly I am very happy someone did this mods, for I always wondered why on earth are the US in it but not Canada.

Stop ******** at other ppl mods cuz YOUR liking dont fit them, if you dont like it, DONT download it.

Simple as that.


Btw Canadria forgot alot of stuff in her/his list of things... theres more I could name, but thats not necesary is it..
he/she did say it was a partial list.

 

[SpiderMcFly]

I must admit I have not read all of the posts in this thread (because I started to get annoyed), but I must protest when people say that Canada is not "worthy" of consideration as a civilization. PUH-LEASE! Like the U.S., we were a colony of Britain, but rather than dumping tea in the harbor and losing countless lives to revolutionary war, we chose to work with Britain and eventually gain our independance peacefully, to the benefit of all (and a more civilized approach).

TO respond to accusations that Canada has not produced/invented anything, I am attaching a file of major Canadian inventions (including the light bulb) and I will remind you all that if you are in North America and sitting at a desk while you insult Canada - we supply 90% of the lumber imported into the U.S.

'Nuff said.

I find it funny how Americans expect everybody to learn about their country, but don't know a lick about anybody else. Canada is set over a VAST area of land, with a relatively small population considering its size. Whenever Canada needs to build a mine, or connect two cities with road or rail, it is a 5 or 6 times the undertaking of any other place, and considering how urbanized it is, Canada is without doubt an industrious country. And when it comes to science, the only group of people on Earth that I can think of, that have done more scientifically PER CAPITA than Canada are the Jews.

Don't forget, the first game of baseball, ("America's Game") was played in Ontario, Canada.

People are debating about who is civilized, and who is not, yet they don't even seem to REALLY even know what civilization is. Civilization means the act of building cities and agriculture. Therefore the counterpart to civilization is hunting/gathering. Calling most North American tribes uncivilized isn't calling them barbaric or stupid, it is just saying that they did not participate in the act of building cities (they did have agriculture). People shouldn't get so offended when people call them uncivilized, because by the definition of the word, most were uncivilized. When it comes to intelligence, it has been proven that it built much more intelligence hunting and gathering (more problem solving), than EARLY agriculture (monotonous labour), and hunting and gathering often lead to a longer lifespan than early farming.

Civilized DOES NOT = good or smart

Uncivilized DOES NOT = bad/barbaric or unintelligent

In fact war is a by-product of civilization, because before farming, tribes would not fight as much, because rather than defending land, they could move to another area if challenged by a more powerful opponent, where as farmers had to protect their land from intruders. At first this was on a small scale, but after a while farmers began to band together into nations and fight on a bigger scale.

Most of the Iroquois tribes were uncivilized in the description I gave for civilization, but this by no means is saying that they were less intelligent than anybody else, because farming and civilization is a conscieous choice which they did not usually make.

At best some of the tribes would be partially civilized because they meet one of two civilization criteria (farming but not cities)

If you do not agree with this definition think of it this way. The word civilization comes from the word civil. The word civil comes from, a latin word civilis, which means city-dweller. Sorry if my post was a bit long winded.

 

[Sobieski]

Sorry about all the posts, but one more thing. Canada's special unit should be the blue hats (I think that's what they are called). They should be infantry units with a plus one on defence, and if it is possibe, they should have the privateer ability (I don't know if you can give that to land units). This could represent its UN peacekeeping missions, where it can put itself between fighting forces without actually being at war with them.

 

[Canadria]

Hey, Sunfirey is even from the same Canadian igloo gathering I am.

It can't be called more than a gathering, we're obviously not civilized enough to make cities.

 

[Sunfirey2k]

I live over by the trading post where they hurd the wild moose before they milk them, it's rather empty in this part of the (can I even call it) villiage.

On the bright side we're getting new material to repair the damage to the igloos from the global warming that we get from detroit, that near 60'F day almost cost us the capital of the villiage (poor Big Furry Bear, he's had a ruff time as head of the igloos). Good thing we did that snow dance last night (it was a close call)

The list of Canadian achievements is impressive, however there is one on the list that is incorrect. Or, at least, only partially.

The telephone.

Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone.

Read a Canadian encyclopedia and it will tell you that Alexander Graham Bell, Canadian, invented the telephone. (They'll even include the date he became a Canadian citizen). And, in a way, they are correct. But not completely.

Read an American encyclopedia, and it will tell you that Alexander Graham Bell, American, invented the telephone. (They'll even include the date he became an American citizen) And in a way, they are correct also. But not completely either.

Alexander Graham Bell began a Canadian life in 1870. He then moved to the United States of America shortly after, in 1871. Simultaneously, he kept a home in Baddeck, on Cape Breton Island, in Nova Scotia, Canada, where he spent many months of the year. At the same time, he kept residence in Boston, Massachusetts, in the U. S. of A.

Both countries readily accepted his status as a citizen. (Some American sources were fair enough to only recognize him as a 'naturalized' citizen). While both countries were (and still are) eager to call a man of such great achievement their own, if the man were around today, you could ask him himself and he'd probably reply:

"Scottish. Born and raised."

Alexander Graham Bell was born on March 3, 1847, in Edinburgh, Scotland.

(He died on August 2, 1922, at Baddeck, Nova Scotia, Canada.)

A Scottish born man doing most of his telephone research in Boston is hardly a 'purely Canadian' achievement. Sorry, Canada.(However, Canadians, know this: most of his aeronautics research was done in Canada.)

Sorry to open up this can of worms, seeing as this is one of those debates that's been going for many years between the Yanks and the Canucks, and both sides are fairly clouded with a healthy nationalist point of view. Neither right, neither wrong.

 

[animepornstar]

found another incorrect in the list. the screw propeller was invented by the swede john ericsson.

New Great Wonder idea- Stanley Cup
If anything it should count as a second capital (third if you have the Forbidden Palace).
And on the note of civs not in the game, what happened to the Carthaginians, they were the best civ in civ2. Personally, im thinking of replacing india with them, considering the special unit would be the same.

 

[Lt_Tarantulas]

lol

yeah, the stanley cup as a great wonder.... boost morale in all your city +2 happy citizen

require 6 arena (lets jsut replace a building with an arena.. any ideas what?)
