Errors in city's names?

[Longasc]

Yeah, Napoleon became widely known as the Emperor of Corsica... that's why the French crowned him and he lead the French army to Russia.

Hitler was from Austria, too, still the Germans get all the blame for following him righteously... so why replace Napoleon because of this, you cannot strip the French of their only Great Leader that is really well known.

He already removed Richelieu because he was a man of the Church, this is true, but I would not... think of seven things about the French and you get:

Eiffelturm, Paris, love, Napoleon, Richelieu, the three Musketeers, Ludwig XIV...

Now they removed Napoleon and Richelieu from the list? No way!


edit: and if you want to piss them off, I forgot Joan d'Arc, but they perhaps would really love to forget AGINCOURT.

You're jumbling up a few things

but napoleion isnt french ether! hes Corsican!!

Napoléon was effectively born in France and thus qualifies as French of corsican extraction. (Corsica was acquired by the french crown from Genoa in 1768, and Napoleon was born in 1769)

Hitler was from Austria, too, still the Germans get all the blame for following him righteously... so why replace Napoleon because of this, you cannot strip the French of their only Great Leader that is really well known.

I never took Napoleon out of the list

and if you want to piss them off, I forgot Joan d'Arc, but they perhaps would really love to forget AGINCOURT.

Joan of Arc isnt in the list as shes already the figurehead of France in Civ III. The french never forgot about Agincourt, but always remember the English eventually lost the war.
The french kind of cherish the hundred year's war, as it has turned out to be the only conflict against the english they ever won!

Just a few corrections;

Napoleon was widely know to his ennemies as the Usurper (or Bouonaparte), to his men as the Little Caporal. But not to my knowledge as the Emperor of Corsica.

Also, the French didnt crown Napoleon, rather he marched Pius VII from the Vatican to Paris at gunpoint to attend his cowning; then crowned himself anyway!

I've noticed with some amusement that there's a "Not Constantinople" cityname for the Ottomans.

You surely know the meaning of irony? Must I really put a smiley behind every bit of irony?

Simply put, Charlemagne was a Frankish king; whereas Napoleon was French. In this game, Charlemagne would be leader of the Frankish Civilization, if there was one.

The entity we know as france was born out of the treaty of Verdun in 843 and the splitting up of the frankish empire, thirty years after the passing of Charlemagne : therefore IMHO it would be incorrect to include him in the french great leaders.

True!
Edo and Tokyo are the same.

Like Lutetia and Paris;Byzantiun, Constatinopoli and Istanbul.
and others...

I dont know if a conquest counts, so I write it.
Im hungarian and i was very happy to see my country in the middle ages conquests but there are some problems...
Now Hungary's capital is Budapest which has made from the joining of Buda and Pest. Pest was a small town, become major in the 17th-18th century but Buda was almost always the capital of the Hungarian Kingdom.
And the city of Miskolc wasn't reality in the middle ages, it is an industrial city, growing up in the late industrials, so the city name could be a historical city right there, Kassa.
I know this are only tiny problems but im nationalist !

 

[Lord_Sidious]

Vizurok, Budapest in Hungarian is Budapest or anything else?

 

[kokoras]

Salonico for the Ottomans!
Thesaloniki and not Salonico is the second larger city of Greece and not an Ottoman for sure.

 

[Cuivienen]

The problem is that Edo and Tokyo appear in the list for the same nation. Cpnstantinople/Istanbul was/is an important city in the Byzantine and Ottoman Empires, but Edo and Tokyo are just two names for the same place in the same nation.

Anyway.

Just a few more really nitpicky things -- the Roman cities should either all but truly Roman (no Jerusalem, Artaxata, etc.) or all be Latinized (Roma for Rome, Hierosolyma for Jerusalem, etc.). After all, there are a lot of Italian and southern Gallian cities that could be in the Roman city list and were truly Roman (Narbo, Genua, Ancona, etc.).

The only thing i noticed for the dutch city names is Holwerd. All other city names used are reasonably known cities, the order they appear in roughly is the order descending in city cize. Holwerd is the exeption though, i never heard of it, i looked it up to see if it really exists, it seems to be some little unknown village thingy. Perhaps a game designer comes from there?
