Hellenism Salesman
Emperor
Since it seems like threads like these are inevitable, I figured I might as well jump on the bandwagon with one of the more challenging civs to represent.
So, with Greece, there are a couple of unique recurring questions when it comes to portraying them in Civ.
And as a final note, if Firaxis insists on calling the entire Civ "Greece" instead of just "Classical Greece" when their toolkit never focuses on anything past that era, is it too unreasonable to ask for some Greek War of Independence representation? Even just a unique unit from the time period would be nice. It's not necessary, but from my experience it doesn't get much attention and introducing it to the Civ playerbase would be a start. Plus, it's really the only other dimension of Greek stuff you can pull from without stepping on the feet of the inevitable Byzantine civ.
That is... unless we want to go all the way back to Minoans...

- How do we choose a leader for a culture that was never united under a single government?
- Do we choose Alex again or do we maintain the Greece/Macedon split?
- And of course, if we don't just go with Alex, who do we choose to lead Greece? Do we try a multiple leader approach, like Civ VI?
