Anyway...
I am inclined to agree with Tacfun, America is no fun. The English have no chance to create their great empire. And the Americans are never able to catch up on tech or become a world influence. I vote oust America and keep Sumeria. Or maybe even boot Sumeria and put in another needed civ.
EDIT: Good idea Rhye... so does 2.6 come out today?

No America
Hey, you can leave America out without modding the biq. You can just select all the civs and instead of America select "NONE".
The poll is wrong, because you already can have a game without America.
The poll should be if they want both Sumeria and Israel in, or a native America tribe.
And my vote is no.
With all these discussions about adding/removing things, and the fact the problem still remains unsolved (in my last test Portugal was behind and Spain was running. But Spain didn't send any caravel.), I'll do my best to upload it tonight when I'm back home, but it will be hard.

Here's a suggestion:
Remove the Byzantines - they're really just the successors of the Romans (they started out as two parts of one empire!) and so the Romans represent them just fine.
There are plenty of other civs thet should be in. Just pick one.

Yes ... remove the Byzantines I agree. That would now alow Poland and if we remove America from .BIQ file sorry Rhye we need to remove America to make room for other Civs!! Now if we don't add say poland..What about Vietniese for another asain civ??

I have another point that I forgot to say. America is only a little over 200 years old. They are such a new Civ they don't deserve to be added to the game time-line.

PS... Also to those who play America do as I do and pick a European Civ and Colonize North America and then you have America as well..lol!

I think adding Poland would be a mistake... Europe is already a crowded powerhouse, and though Poland definately deserves to be in, it would make Europe way too crowded.tacfun said:
Instead I think an Asian or African civ should be added.
Adding another civ in Africa will make it harder to colonise and that will help fix up the america thingy...
EDIT: I agree America is kinda undeserving... Also, as has been pointed out in the past on these boards, England and all of its now-independant colonies have never failed to be close allies and have not once fought with one another as independant nations, so England in fact represents America, Australia, South Africa, etc.
America should perhaps be replaced with another native american nation (Cherokee or Sioux).
Maybe I've found two possible solutions to my problem.
One regards the the tech tree; the other the map (adding more sea tiles in the Atlantic)

You're making things appear too easier than they are.
Adding a civ costs me a lot of effort in finding accurate UU, King unit, leaderhead, civilopedia, testing the strenght.
In the meantime you're asking to release the patch as soon as possible.
It's clear that you can't request both.

Rushing is never a good idea... I think we all agree better work gets done slowly.Rhye said:
And anyway, you don't have to make these changes right now before the next patch...
Yes we can we can ask for both come on Santa Claus...we want what we want..LOL!

The middle east is crowded enough as it is... Sumeria is not only already represented (by Babylon), it's also generally pretty obscure for a nation.tacfun said:

Yes, you can always keep playing for as long as you want, but you can't win after the turns end... Can't launch the Spaceship, can't have a UN vote, etc.tacfun said:
