Returning Civ Leaders-Elimination Thread

[Kimiimaro]

Hammurabi 28+1=29 - Someone has to be first and someone has to be second. Both were great warriors, both are considered as the best rulers for their country. I just think that creating one of the first code of laws in history is better. Plus I want Babylon more, because I think that Mali will be in the next DLC.
Mansa Musa 7-3=4 - Someone has to be second. Sorry Mansa Musa, but you will have to be on silver place, although being mostly known for gold.

Hammurabi 29 (26-3) better options available if we must have Babylon as a civ
Mansa Musa 5 (4+1) Not that it will change anything

 

[Guandao]

Hammurabi (29+1)=30 I get the critiques about him, but he is winning...
Mansa Musa (5-3)=2 Let us end this thread

 

[Roman Citizen]

Hammurabi 30+1=31 and Hammurabi won.
Mansa Musa 2-3=-1 Second place is not bad for Mansa Musa

 

[Manifold]

Hammurabi 28 (31-3) he or Shaka I go with Shaka
Mansa Musa 0 (-1+1)

I was thinking of having another elimination thread, but this time with the leaders in Civ5. Should I do that? And would people be interested in participating in that one?

Yes, do it. I would be very interrested, since Civ V had very good pick of leaders.

Musa also made Timbuktu a synonym for "unspecified faraway place" in various European languages, including English.

Yes, and the whole reason people wanted to go there was because they heard of it. It was synonymous with a faraway place indeed, instead of any number of other cities like Peking...Why? Because Timbuktu was desired.

I always thought Timbuktu was synonymous with "some place in the middle of nowhere". I think this is what people think when they hear "Timbuktu" nowadays.

My mistake, you're absolutely right. This is the proverbial meaning.
