Light In The East: Civs Of The Orient(And Beyond)

[Urdnot_Scott]

Is the leader a she?

 

[regalman]

The civ bordered Macedonia when the civ was huge or they bordered Macedonia when Macedonia was huge?

Both. Also has at least 1 X chromosome.

 

[Tarmont]

This country bordered Macedonia at one point, when it was huge.

I don't think this one is valid though

 

[regalman]

It did hold some territory in Thrace for a while.

 

[Alganon2]

I can see a hint everytime I see Tarcio

 

[Urdnot_Scott]

I think I just realised who it is and that I should have known the entire time. Durp.

 

[Tarmont]

I can see a hint everytime I see Tarcio

Yeap, Regalman better warn me first next time he wants to tease something

It did hold some territory in Thrace for a while.

Damn you're right, did not know about that.

"I, as a civfanatics user still do not have a clue because I was not one of the 30 people that watched jan's stream"

Urdnot, would you know the letter the civilization starts with?

 

[Urdnot_Scott]

I didn't/couldn't watch the stream since I've been on holiday the last 8 or so days. Are you overstating the European-ness of this civilisation?

 

[regalman]

It is a European dynasty in essence the same way Yuan is a Mongolian dynasty.

 

[Urdnot_Scott]

Thats what I thought, alright I know what it is in that case. Not that it is in any way obvious, or even sensible, just by looking at that icon. Good luck people.

 

[regalman]

Hint: it is not based in Asia.

 

[TheLohoped]

To be honest, if I didn't know about the existence of this country, I would be VERY confused by these hints right now. Thankfully that's not the case.

 

[Howard Tafty]

Ehhh screw it I'm gonna lay down the royal flush- it is Illryia if its not that then the Galatia and if not then this has to be extremely far out of common knowledge for a eurocentric.

 

[Urdnot_Scott]

Thats what I initially thought, Illyria, which is why I asked if the leader was female. Unfortunately that would be too easy.

 

[regalman]

Don't forget, it's on the Mediterranean.

 

[janboruta]

All I can say is that a history-nerd friend of mine said I made the guy dressed wrong, in the context of what the unit is meant to be.

"I, as a civfanatics user still do not have a clue because I was not one of the 30 people that watched jan's stream"

You're not the only one; I too am one of the 30*. I always miss the stream for the simple reason of math: Jan streams at 6-8pm in the GMT+2 timezone, according to his signature. (Which doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me since IINM the entirety of Poland is within GMT+1) But I live in GMT-6 - it's eight hours earlier in my part of the world, i.e. 10am - noon, meaning that I'm in school when Jan streams.

Stupid RL, always ruining my art education.

And since I haven't seen the stream I'll have to piece together my guess using just the conversation provided. I'll guess Dacia, because... I'm just throwing random things out there.

(*One of the 30... that sounds nice. I think I'll make it my user title.)

 

[regalman]

Everybody makes mistakes jan. firaxis being a shining example. Mistakes are great

Also, Dacia is not correct.

 

[Scapegrace]

Okay, I have... basically no idea. But between the torc and the patterning and blonde spikiness (and the West German porn star moustache), I'm drawn to one of the Germanic nations. Now, I know what it almost certainly ISNT: the largely-hypothetical "Nordwestblock" of pre-Roman Germanic tribes. This is because I think maybe four people have heard of it ever. =]

What I was immediately drawn to was the Suebi, but they have a Civ. Therefore, it might actually be the slightly later Swabia, or possibly Alemannia. It's difficult to tell. That's my guess, anyway. I look forward immensely to being so far wide of the mark I've opened fire on the next mod-polity over and accidentally shot Natan. =]
