Anyone ever read the Bible? I'm amazed how much of Civilization they put into it...
Moses, Joshua, the judges and all the kings would be exited about Civ!
Check out some cool stuff from the Old testament!
Israeli spies report:
Numbers 13:28 Nevertheless the people be strong that dwell in the land, and the cities are walled, and very great.
Judges 1:19 And the LORD was with Judah; and he drave out the inhabitants of the mountain; but could not drive out the inhabitants of the valley, because they had chariots of iron.
Just two weak units...
1 Kings 20:27 And the children of Israel were mustered and given provisions, and they went against them. Now the children of Israel encamped before them like two little flocks of goats, while the Syrians filled the countryside.
Actually, almost everything in Civilization is covered as you follow the Jews in the Bible. Monarchy, the advisors, trade, resouces, battles, capturing of cities, founding and improvements of cities, diplomacy, and much more. Pretty interesting. Just try to search for a word at http://bible.gospelcom.net and see for yourself.
The Jews were cheating a lot though. They used prophets to know where the enemies would attack, 2 Kings 6:8... They had God to confuse the enemies so they killed eachother, 2 Chron 20:23... And once Joshua cheated and made their turn (day) longer so they could get their revenge, Joshua 10:12.
Well. It's fun.
