I'm guessing Kim Jong Il is also that Buddhist person with 18 cities on the scoreboard?

No no that was the Philippines lead by Marcos. (the person who built the AP and is 1 of 2 AIs Wonder spamming)
Kim is the founder of Buddhism.

That is how you know this is Civ and not real life: Marcos actually let enough money flow to the national economy to BUILD 18 cities...

Helps when you built the Great Lighthouse early on and get a free Bank, Market, and Grocer in every city built due to being Financial.
And I take it he was a horrible leader IRL?

Only if you consider the likes of Robespierre merely horrible...
There are SONGS dedicated to the Marcos' (husband and wife) corruption and drain on the Filipino economy. They basically drained the entire country's treasury into their own bank accounts and used the army to put down any opposition. They were a nasty, nasty couple, almost on par with Mao Tse Tung and his wife.

Yes, he was a horrible leader. My father said there were curfews as early as 6 in the evening, and you could hear gunshots at night. I guess it was a scary time to be in...
Ferdinand Marcos is a very controversial figure here in the Philippines. Here, there's an issue whether or not Marcos should be buried in the Cementery of Heroes. There has been no decision yet.
Anyway, back to the screenshots.
So this means that my leader (Atilla) is launching a barbarian hoard. Does that mean I'm at war with everyone else? Crazy barbs defy logic.
The result: These are my troops attacking my (barbarian) troops.
...and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

WhiskeyTangoFoxtrot??? Why would he even be considered for that honour? The guy was a corrupt, murderous dictator at best. Even his claims of leading a Filipino resistance cell during WW2 has been disproven by the US investigators.To Godwin the discussion, it would be like Germany considering burying Hitler in a hero's graveyard.

I know, right? It was proposed by his supporters and by Imelda herself. But historians say that there's nothing heroic about Ferdinand Marcos, and I agree with them. Thank goodness for the EDSA Revolution.
Can we get back to the discussion on how weird barbs can be in the game? You know, the AI civs aren't the only ones that are crazy...

How did you get those extra Civs (Mexico, NZ or Argentina)?

Chiyu's Extra mod got a lot of those. Not sure about NZ, but it has a number of pretty exotic ones (Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Polynesia, Poland, Songhai, etc.).
