Research Q&A

[mrtn]

Scandinavia is a bit problematic to group, as Norway and Denmark was (and is) members of NATO, while Sweden and Finland was neutral. Maybe you could make Denmark and Norway part of GB (or it's own civ), and Sweden and Finland the neutral civ...Use Erlander here, or possibly Olof Palme (an outspoken critic of the Vietnam war, which lead to a big deterioration in US/Swedish relations).

 

[Mistfit]

That's a bit tougher...I'll give you a list of names to choose from

Central America

Costa Rica
Mario Echandi Jiménez 58 - 62
Francisco José Orlich Bolmarcich 62 - 66
José Tréjos Fernández 66-70
José Figueres Ferrer (3rd time) 70-74
Daniel Oduber Quirós 74-78
Rodrigo Carazo Odio 78-82
Luis Alberto Monge Alvarez 82-86
Oscar Arias Sánchez 86-90

No one really sticks out in my mind there

Nicaragua
Luis Anastasio Somoza Debayle 56 - 63
René Schick Gutiérrez 63 - 66
Lorenzo Guerrero Gutiérrez 66 - 67
Anastasio Somoza Debayle 67-72
73-74 was weird it lists 3 people during this time but I doubt they would fit the bill
Anastasio Somoza Debayle (2nd time) 74-79
Junta Sandinista 79-85
Daniel Ortega Saavedra 79-85

Sansinista would be an interesting choice

Honduras
José Ramón Villeda Morales 57 - 63
Osvaldo López Arellano 63-71
Ramón Ernesto Cruz 71-72
Osvaldo López Arellano (2nd time) 72-75
Juan Alberto Melgar Castro 75-79 (Fiedel's little brother?)
Policarpio Juan Paz Garcia 79-82
Roberto Suazo Cordova 82-86
José Simon Azcona Hoyo 86-90

No Stand outs there either

Elsalvador
Fidel Sánchez Hernández 67-72
Arturo A. Molina 72-77
Carlos Humberto Romero 77-79
Jaime Abdul Gutiérrez and Adolfo Arnoldo Majano (military junta) 79-80
José Napoleón Duarte 80-82
Álvaro Alfredo Magaña Borja 82-84
José Napoleón Duarte (2nd term) 84-89

No one except possibly Molina here

Guatemala
Miguel Ydigoras Fuentes58-63
Enrique Peralta Azurdia 63-66
Julio Mendez Montenegro 66-70
Carlos Araña Osorio 70-74
Kjell Laugerud García 74-78
F. Romeo Lucas García 78-82
Efrain Rios Montt 82-83
Oscar Humberto Mejia Vixtores 83-86
Marco Vinicio Cerezo Arévalo 86-91

Mexico
Adolfo López Mateos 58-64
Gustavo Díaz Ordaz 64-70
Luis Echeverría Álvarez 70-76
José López Portillo 76-82
Miguel de la Madrid 82-88
Carlos Salinas de Gortari 88-94

I'd say after typing this up that Álvarez would prolly be my choice but this is not my speciality. If I were you I'd lookk for someone from the area and quiz them. For example talk to Civ Army about the Central American Leader He's prolly better informed than I am about that region.

 

[El Justo]

would it be more prudent to have the leader for each civ to be from 1960 irregardless of how long they served as leader? this is what i was thinking initially but it's no real big deal.

or, as in civ3 mode, the most popular leader of the course of time?

 

[Mistfit]

Oops I read your request wrong. For some reason I read that you wanted them to start at 1969... If you do decide on the 1960 thing let me know and I'll update them.

oyyy....sorry about that

yeah...the start date for the scenario is january 1960

 

[Louis XXIV]

If anybody is still answering questions.....

If the Assyrians were in the Mesopotamia Scenario, what should their Unique Unit be???

Its a tough call really, there are so many options. The Assyrians are famous for Chariots, so an Assyrian Chariot would work. They are specifically famous for the heavy, 4-Horse Chariot, but it wasn't their most effective Chariot. They were also one of the first to switch to Cavalry, and were very effective Horse Archers.

But let's not forget their infantry. If I go by units already created, I'll say Siege Archer and leave it at that (An Archer with a shield bearer, the Persians coppied the unit for the Sparabara).

Also, they were great a siege warfare, so some kind of siege tower would work well.

How about UU's for these other Mesopotamia civs....

Akkadians

Sargon created the first perminant military. I would say some kind of warrior replacement, probably lightly armed with a spear and maybe a wicker shield.

Nubians

Not positive about the military of the actual Nubian civilization, but an important part of Egyptian society was the Medjay. They were originally Nubian Mercenaries, because the Egyptians were terrified of dying in a place where they wouldn't be burried properly. Eventually, though, the Medjay became the police force of Egypt.

Minoans

Minotaur

Elamites

I don't know, and would really like the answer to this.

Kassites

Rulers of Babylon through a suprising amount of the their history. Bowman seem to work fine.

Mitanni

IIRC, Assyria learned Chariotry when they were vassals of the Mitanni. So I would give them Chariots. They were also the rivals of both the Hittites and the Egyptians...

Israelites

Since there is a Maccabee unit, I'm probably going to suggest that. I honestly don't know much about the armies of Judah and Israel. I think they raised a cavalry army to help Damascus in a revolt against Assyria, but I'd assume they had similar troops to everyone else.

EDIT: Discussion of Assyrian uu
