Civ

[Graadiapolistan]

They should devide china into at least three, devide india into two, devide russia into two, get rid of the celts, and the dutch, and the vikings(were barbarians with iron) - perhaps combine all into the normans. Add Guge, not add tiny civs that were never powerful. There are TOO many for the fertile crescent, sumeria AND babylon. (If all of them stay in, add the Assyrians, their special unit would be SOOO cool, a spearman with a high attack and low defense.) Greece was never a big empire, it was never very powerful at all, Alexander the great was NOT GREEk he was MACEDONIAN. Make the muslims into two. (There were two seperate countries I can't remember what they are called.)

The strategy of the makers of civ 3 was to choose famous civs even if they were nevr powerful, or historically accurate. In real life there was no way a Persian immortal could beat roman legion. If there was a castle in a city berserkers couldn't do anything. I think now that they have a big fanbase they should start making it historically accurate- meaning that it couldn't be geographically balanced because there was really no one in North America or southern Africa besides nomads.

I know that Greece introduced a new form of important government (Republic or early Democracy) and had a golden age about general thinking, Science and Philosophy.

Hey Graad, I seem to remember a famous quote, from either Twain or Heinlein, about Opening your mouth and proving something...

I would hardly call the Aztecs, Myans, and Inca's nomads. And anyway, Idylwyld said it perfectly.

 

[Graadiapolistan]

I didn't call the aztecs mayans and incans nomads, for one thing i'm ust throwing out ideas i hate it when i try to say something and someone insults me like that, i'm entitled to my opinion. Besides the Aztecs (Mexico, but are usually asscociated with south America) all of the empires in the americas have been in south america. toltecs, Aztecs, Mayans. I think that Greece should be a playable civilization, but it really wasn't an empire if you think about it. It bothers me how one can be the Celts, but not the Han (China) or the Zhou (China)- they were different dynasties.

Talk sense to a fool and he calls you foolish.
