If I remember correctly, copper gives off a blue color, boron is green, magnesium is white, and strontium is red. Of course, in 2000 BC the periodic table only had about 4 elements in it

I remember the first time they proclaimed, "We Love the King" and I didn't have one. I wasted some time in the manual with that one. The first time I saw fireworks, I thought I was under attack.

Yeah does things annoy me. If only they varied for each age. Maybe flag waving later on.

The fireworks don't bother me, but it's true that they are inappropriate early in the game.
I thought maybe smoke rings from a fire might work until the discovery of gunpowder.
We still use fireworks today for celebration, along with fly overs by jets, gun salutes, wavy flags, balloons, confetti. I couldn't think of anything else. I suppose some of these might work.
Anyone else have a different idea as to a visual display of celebration?

Seeing little jets fly over your city drawing pictures with it's smoke would be cool.

Never thought about it before, but it's kinda anachronistic when you mention it.

Columbia encyclopedia says the Chinese used gunpowder for fireworks as early as the 9th century AD.

i remember once when my friend, who had never seen or heard of civ, and i were playing a hotseat game and he asked me why he couldnt build units with guns in the anciet age and i pulled up the tect tree and explained to him that he needed gunpowder and then he closed the science advisor and showed me the we love the king day celebration and said but i have fireworks
before that i had never really thought of that and now whenever i see the fireworks i think of that and chuckle to myself

The first time I say we love the king day I thought my people were revolting and were shotting stuff into the sky.

the firework dont bother me much,but this other thing dose
the iroquis UU,the mounted warrior,i read somewhere that there was no horses on the american continent untill the spanish brought them
as there never was horses there untill 1600 something
so of the indian warrior of the wild west cliche,dude with feathers,remintong rifle and horse, the horse and the rifle would both be relatively new to the warrior

Yes, but the golden age of the Iroquois was in the 1700s. They had horses then.

Good point, but did they have a good enough grasp of it and enough of it to make it seen over an entire city? As i understand it they used them in firecrackers for frightening away evil demons and in battle for confusing the enemy.
These are actually some really good ideas, confetti, jet fly-byes etc. I hope the good fellows at Firaxis catch this stuff.
