Civ Quiz I

[Bob the Barbari]

Statue of Zeus, Temple of Artemis. Maybe Parthenon if you count less canonical names.

Seems I'm too late. There are no more buildings/wonders/units with the name of a Greek God unless it's something not from Civ 4 (he asked about everything after all). And btw isn't Robotics required to build Stealth Destroyers? I can't check now but I thought so.

 

[UWHabs]

Good job so far, but there's still at least one more.

 

[r_rolo1]

The ones that Bob said + Haghia Sophia ( Holy Wisdom )

 

[Bob the Barbari]

He asked about GREEK God.

 

[UWHabs]

He asked about Greek God.

Hagia Sophia is very borderline. I'm pretty sure she doesn't count as one, unless if a theologian can clarify for me otherwise.

*edit: and I may as well clarify, I count Goddesses as well, if people want to nitpick.

 

[Bob the Barbari]

Statue of Liberty? But she is also quite borderline and I do not accually remember any liberty godess from Greek mythology.

 

[r_rolo1]

Why do Haghia Sophia is borderline and Parthenon isn't? Parthenon means only "virgin" anyway....

If you want more borderline stuff, add to my guess Collossus it is the statue of Helios after all

 

[Bob the Barbari]

Because Parthenon refers to Athena, and Hagia Sophia refers to christian God.
Edit. I know, but it was not without help so I will let others answer. A hint: the best building for coastal city.

 

[UWHabs]

I'm looking at names. So, even if the monument was a big statue of Zeus, the name "monument" isn't a Greek God.

HS is borderline since looking around, the term Sohpia and "Goddess of Wisdom" are sometimes used. Parthenon is not named for a God. It'd be like if there was a wonder called "The Adulterer". Even if it had a picture of Clinton on it, it wouldn't be named after a US President.

 

[Bob the Barbari]

Oh then just: Dike and nothing else. To hell with letting others answer. And Sophia is just "wisdom" it's hagia that make it "God's wisdom", or something like that (don't know Greek) and I do not believe Clinton is refered to as "Clinton Adult" often, unlike Athena Parthenos. Besides I wrote it is not a canonical name.

 

[r_rolo1]

Nice catch.... but it is arguable that it is the best building a costal city can build

 

[UWHabs]

Oh then just: Dike and nothing else. To hell with letting others answer.

hehe. Not to give too much away, "The Statue of Zeus" counts, since Zeus is a God, and in the name. The Colossus isn't, since Colossus was not a Greek God, even if it depicts one.

We're still missing at least one that I know of. And whoever answers will need to include only valid (or semi-valid) things you can build.

 

[Bob the Barbari]

So Statue of Zeus, Temple of Artemis, Dike and something else. Is that what you mean?

 

[UWHabs]

There's at least one that nobody's mentioned so far.

 

[Onionsoilder]

The Statue of Zeus, The Temple of Artemis, Dike and The Oracle?

 

[Bob the Barbari]

For all the ancient Gods sake: Apollo Program. Or do you count that as buildable? Pythia was just Apollo's spokeperson.

 

[UWHabs]

I would count World Projects as buildable, yes (hence using "buildable" instead of just "buildings").

 

[Bob the Barbari]

I prefer civ-specific questions.

Name me everything you can build that has the name of a Greek God in it.

If you agree it's buildable then it falls into the cathegory. So now we have Statue of Zeus, Temple of Artemis, Dike, Apollo Program, and I suspect something else since you didn't say I'm right. This list just keeps growing.

Well, I was waiting for the full list from someone (since I don't remember who listed some buildings before.

I myself forgot about the dike when I asked my question, but the other 3 were the main ones I was looking for. Unless if you really want to go searching for more, you can ask the next question.

*to add: I thought of this last night reading up some stuff about ancient Greece. Considering all the other Greek wonders in the game (Oracle, Colossus, Mausoleum, etc...), I was surprised there weren't more.

 

[Joshua368]

Apollo Program is pretty clever.
