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

[regalman]

Capital has an "x" in it

 

[Danmacsch]

This is so much fun [emoji14]

 

[TranquilSilence]

Nope!

The leader was famous after death, and wasn't a good leader before that.

It's confirmed to be an Egypt then? Tutankhamun fits the bill I guess

 

[Natan35]

Wait: I cant think of any capital that has an English X in it. Is the clue in English, or is it in another language, say Greek?

A bunch of pre-Columbian Mesoamerican cities as well, some of which were capitals of rivals to the Aztecs.

 

[BttLsht]

Middle Kingdom/new kingdom of Egypt, Thebes/Luxor? who else can it be?

Mesoamerican civs probably wouldn't control Byblos though...

 

[Natan35]

No, but I think its Armenia, led by Artaxias I, with Artaxata as its capital.

 

[BttLsht]

No, but I think its Armenia, led by Artaxias I, with Artaxata as its capital.

By that time Byblos fall from prominence and take a look at the map, the border ends a little north of Byblos which rules out Armenia which is northern to Byblos.

I am pretty sure it is the New kingdom led by Tut with the capital being Luxor, I mean who else in that region only became known post mortem?

 

[Danmacsch]

Ignoring all previous guesses!

It surely is a tough Tut Nut to crack, this one !

DMS pls

Seems I was right in guessing Tutankhamun then

 

[Natan35]

Seriously it was too much clues. I was hoping its not Egypt though.
(Also: Tutankhamen is Hebrew for "strawberry rests a lot".)

Yeah, I'm half-tired and just rambling in response to Natan.

 

[Natan35]

Wonder what the unqiues are...

 

[Alga2]

Hmm maybe Herodes ?

 

[SnowyNix]

Hmm maybe Herodes ?

oh yeah, he actually expressed an interest in making a herod civ on jan's stream once

(not saying that it is herod, because it doesn't fit the clues)

Spoiler :

if you do make herod i hope you make this his leaderscene

Spoiler :

 

[Rob (R8XFT)]

Could the mystery civ be the Ptolemaic Kingdom under Ptolemy Soter (capital city being Alexandria)?

Regalman hates him so sadly no.

 

[Rob (R8XFT)]

Regalman hates him so sadly no.

I really thought I had it then!! Didn't the Indo-Greeks also have a capital named Alexandria? Could it be them under Demetrius?

 

[COF]

They had a capital called Taxila too. But Regalman showed off their map ages ago too. But it is not this civ.
