Civilization V: Who/What Am I?

[Rooftrellen]

Sorry. I like the way this is going, though.

Clue 1: Auto, Puppet, Concrete

Clue 2: In reality, my origins are prehistoric. In game, I cannot be.

If no one gets it, I'll give a 3rd hint before I eat dinner, which will likely be a dead giveaway (if my second clue isn't, fingers crossed it's not).

 

[Pouakai]

The Wheel?

 

[Kouvb593kdnuewnd]

Water?

 

[Rooftrellen]

Nope, sorry. Dinner time, so here's the last hint.

Clue 1: Auto, Puppet, Concrete

Clue 2: In reality, my origins are prehistoric. In game, I cannot be.

Clue 3: Ovid, Virgil, Chikamatsu Monzaemon, Edgar Allan Poe, and William Shakespeare, all are within my domain of knowledge

 

[Kouvb593kdnuewnd]

Culture?

 

[Pouakai]

Amphitheatre?

 

[Cerilis]

The removed Theatre?

 

[Rooftrellen]

Ouch, everyone is so painfully close.

Especially the theatre thing, how painful it is to be reminded that we now get the zoo from printing press (what the heck is that?)

Someone's going to get it though.

 

[lokithepunishr]

Globe Theatre?

 

[AW Arcaeca]

Great Writer?

 

[Rooftrellen]

Ok, I believe that is the 10th guess. I'm a bit surprised no one got it after that last one.

The answer is...the technology Drama and Poetry.

Clue 1: Auto, Puppet, Concrete

Auto is a type of play (I had never heard of it before I came to Brazil, myself). Puppet theatre is a downright ancient form of drama, as well as acting as a red herring. Concrete is a type of poetry.

Clue 2: In reality, my origins are prehistoric. In game, I cannot be.

History starts with writing, so it has to come after writing in game, which it must, but in our history, both drama and poetry both predate writing (by at least several hundred years).

Clue 3: Ovid, Virgil, Chikamatsu Monzaemon, Edgar Allan Poe, and William Shakespeare, all are within my domain of knowledge

Hint pointing to a tech with "knowledge." All of these people are GA's in the game, and, additionally, each of them is specifically known for poetry or drama (or both), rather than prose.

 

[IvyJohn]

Clever, I would have never guessed that.

Alright:
Clue 1: What are those for?

 

[lokithepunishr]

Wonders?

 

[IvyJohn]

Nope.

 

[Doktor Vic Tim]

Wow, that is quite vague...

Feitorias?

 

[Rooftrellen]

Desert tiles?

"What are those stupid things there for?" 5200 years later: "So much oil!"

I'm so wrong

 

[jlim201]

Snow?

 

[IvyJohn]

Not even close.

Nobody will probably get it, so I'll just leave the next clue:
Clue 2: Siege of Vienna

 

[Rooftrellen]

Landsknecht?

 

[Doktor Vic Tim]

Winged Hussar
