Babylonia

I'll report four minor rulers, but associated, just like Hammurabi, to ancient legal codes. No one of them is pretty Babylonian, but, you see, Babylonian empire started in 1894 BC and the game in 3000 BC, so it should include IMO Sumerians and previous Mesopotamian city-states.

Sorry of I bother you, Leoreth, but there are two redundancies in Italian GP lists. Niccolò Machiavelli is both in Great Artist and Great Statesman lists; I think he could be replaced in GA list by one of these that I've suggested in Expanded Great People Names thread http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=507199&page=5
<UniqueName>Giotto</UniqueName><!-- 13th -->
<UniqueName>Caravaggio</UniqueName><!-- 17th -->
<UniqueName>Carlo Goldoni</UniqueName><!-- 18th -->
<UniqueName>Giuseppe Verdi</UniqueName><!-- 19th -->
<UniqueName>Luigi Pirandello</UniqueName><!-- 20th -->
<UniqueName>Federico Fellini</UniqueName><!-- 20th -->

Same issue for Giuseppe Garibaldi, both Great Statesman and Great General. I think he belongs better to GG list. If you want another Italian Statesman, I'd be glad to provide you another one.

By the way, thank you for the great work: now I can play until I see Karl Marx's birth!

 

[Leoreth]

Okay thanks. Actually I'm not sure if action is necessary: the game assigns predefined names only once regardless of unit type. This means that Machiavelli for instance will either be a GA or a GSt, depending on which unit reaches his name slot first.

So it's perfectly okay to have people in multiple categories if they fit.

Oh, I didn't know it.

 

[Leoreth]

Me neither, but that's how the code works. Might actually be useful in some other cases where it's hard to decide between GP type or civilization.

 

[LacsiraxAriscal]

Cicero spawned as a scientist in my most recent game - surely should be a statesman?

 

[Leoreth]

I agree.
