Sure. As long as they don't appear on another civs list.

I forgot them. I will look for some, but your right, we hadn't much (great) spies.

I think we might have some general overlap in the GP names. There is famous composer that was born in Bulgaria, but lived and made music in Constantinople. Is he Bulgarian or Byzantine.
I will look at the code to see how complicated it would be to have nation specific GP to be born in the corresponding nations, but I think it would not be very easy.

Really? What about Jans Bont? Heh, stupid I know, but couldn't resist

Maybe having civ-specific GPs spawning in their own countries might just be too much work after all. Coming up with at least 35 names for every civ making a total of 700+ seems nearly impossible to me.
Having looked at the present code I think it would be a lot easier to edit the XML file taking out GPs from civs we're not using and substituting new names from some of our other civs. Like taking out Alexander the Great and adding Alexander Nevsky for example. That way we could have about 2 GPs in each category for each civ. I could do that for you if you like. Even a coding noob like me can edit XML. Do you want me to do that instead?
I could complete that in a day or two if you like.

I think making the list is not such a problem if you can make the coding for civ specific GPs. As for the great spys - I made a list for russia, and i found so much GreatSpies- all of the wealthy counts that served as ambassadors, diplomats, lovers of the queen, and so on. I hadnt the slicest problem with the spies. When it comes to the overlapping GPs, i think we have two options. We can use the GP for both of the civs and distinguish them by the name (like one in greek and one in bulgarian). the other options is using the GP for the civ you will have more trouble finding the GP for.

Making the list of GP is not the big problem. Coding it so that each nation gets people from the corresponding list will require more coding.
For the next 3 - 4 months I will not be able to devote as much time to the mod as I used to. I will still be fixing bugs and helping with discussions and so on, but sedna will have to be the sole main coder.

Like I said in the previous post (226), I can edit the present lists in the XML so they all represent our civs pretty easily once I have the names. That way we wouldn't have Chinese GPs etc. Should I do that ?

I have updated my list of Dutch GP-names. I added Great-Spies and added some more other Great-Person-names.

Hopefully nothing too problematic in real life? I should be able to take care of things for a while. I'll be defending my thesis around July, so I'll be out of commission for a while shortly before that, but other than that...

If you're going to do the next version, do you want me to revise the XML GP list as I suggested a couple of posts back in this thread?

I should defend mine in early May and I will need to work hard on writing it. I still am not ready with all the results either.

I propose the "Walhalla Temple" in Germany for an European wonder: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walhalla_temple
The temple was modeled after the Greek Parthenon so you can easily use that icon.
Interesting to know, that the temple´s busts also include, next to great German personalties, foreign personalities from other culture related countries like Sweden, Netherlands, Austria, Swiss etc. So this "wonder" could also be build from one of those related countries and would still fit in the historical context.

Unfortunately, it was built in 1807, after our mod ends in 1800. We will be using the Brandenburg Gate though. But thanks for the suggestion anyway.
Maybe it could be fit in to the mod anyway? St. Basil's Cathedral (The Kremlin) was constructed sometime in the 15th century, yet in Civ 4 (and RFC) the earliest it ever appears is in the 1700's. Couldn't the Walhalla Temple follow the same route, being able to be put up for construction already in the 1700's?

If you gonna ad The Amsterdam Stock Exchange, I have some ideas.
1. Call it: Beurs van Amsterdam. It means the same but it's in Dutch.
2. It was designed to buy and sell stocks of companies. So I think you should give them a bonus for corporations. Like giving them +10
per headquarter.
3. Because it's a Trade-Wonder I think it should be anabled with Trading Companies or Economics. (it is build in 1609, so I think it should be the last)
It also can replace the Wall Street, but I think their is a better my suggestions fits better with the original.

And this could be the button for the Beurs van Amsterdam.
