Cool to know! Civ specific bonuses is one of the areas of the game that I am more interested at - I am really liking the concept of different accumulative bonuses for each era.

The Arabs seems like an early civ, but its industrial time bonus is a bit crappy (tanks > calvary).

The French ones are quite cool: cultural building for the early game and military buildup by late game.

france seems like a good civ to play

That's a bit daft, considering that Islamic law forbids usury (the collection and payment of interest).

meh, why not eh.
After all, Saladin was not an Arab either (but Kurdish)

The interest isn't the best for Saladin, but if he wasnt Muslim, then he wouldnt have that limitation, and who says you have to play with him as a Muslim?

Also, as people said before, the Industrial bonus is really stupid, and I hope that the Arab civilization is more well done than the one in Civ IV
