Scientific Leader Names suggestions

[Nahuixtelotzin]

I mean, those names are a bad joke, don't you think?

Chichatoyotl
Textalatzin
Quakeotzlitopotec

There isn'T even a Q in the Aztec language Nahuatl!

Ulan-Bator
Minzu Wenyibao
Kumujil-yin Qoro

They couldn't even think of the highly important astronomer Ulug Beg, yet have a city name in the leader list.

Ah Cacao
Smoke-Monkey
Stormy Sky

"Ah Cacao" - how funny!

Greek scientists for the Egyptians, Arabian scientists for the Babylonians, while for the Arabs they didn't even include Ibn-Sinna (Avicenna)

I know it's difficult to have real names, especially for the Ancient Civs, but can't we think of better lists?

 

[BorgeoisBuffoon]

I agree. I can accept some deviations (perhaps they added Ptoltemy for Egypt, is that what you meant?) but most of these are jokes. I'll try to give one or two later-I can't do much more as I'm in school right now. I'll be back, I promise.

From a website...

http://www.bootsnall.com/cgi-bin/gt/camericatravelguides/dec00tikal.shtml

"Jungle tops stretch to the horizon, punctuated by the summits of four stone temples. Some 700 metres distant is the Great Plaza, where the ruler Ah Cacao, alias "King Chocolate", built the Temple of the Masks (Temple II) and the Temple of the Great Jaguar (Temple I), his burial site, ca 700 AD. "

Do the Egyptians still have Khufu and Cheops as Great Leaders?

 

[firebead]

Well, this is off line a little bit. But I don't understand why the GSL suddenly become so important. Why are military leaders not allowed to rush great wonders.

Can you change the military leader to be able to complete great wonders in the editor? if so, how?

 

[Louis XXIV]

I don't think you can, but you should be able to.

Wow, I apologize and state the contrary!

Not in MY version anymore. The first thing I did after getting C3C was changing city and leader names to my custom lists.

Ptolemy is OK, but Conon of Samos as Egyptian scientist? They did even call him "of Samos" in the list...

The Greek list has some dude named "Pythagorus" as leader. Do you know this guy?

 

[aaglo]

I only can wonder why Alfred Nobel isn't included in the scandinavian SGL-list..

 

[Nahuixtelotzin]

ouch!

 

[Marla_Singer]

Nahuixtelotzin : "The Greek list has some dude named "Pythagorus" as leader. Do you know this guy?"

You have never heard about the theorem of Pythagorus ? It's the first theorem we learn in geometry in here.

Well, I'm lacking of english vocabulary to explain what it is, so I'll merely translate how it comes in my head with my french words : You take a rectangle triangle ABC (a triangle where one of the angle is at 90°). We consider BC is the hypotenuse of that triangle, then we have : BC²=AB²+AC²


Well I don't have Conquests for now. However, as french, I'm curious. What's the list of french scientist GL ? Can we find Pascal, Descartes, Lavoisier, Ampere, Arago, Pasteur, the Lumière brothers, Curie, Bequerel or Charpak ?

 

[KingTux]

Marla_Singer, they're:

Louis Pasteur
Marie Curie
Blaise Pascal
Rene Descartes

and that's it. No one really has too long of a list, so they have at least four of those.

 

[lz14]

What's the Chinese list.

 

[Mongoloid Cow]

How about someone post what all the SGLs for all of the civs are in one go instead of having everyone ask for them individually.

 

[Louis XXIV]

Good idea!

How about putting Babylon and Sumer at the top of the list

Just looking at that, I see they generally got some good scientists and so-forth, especially for Persia... al-Khwarazmi, Omar Khayyam, al-Farghani, Nasr al-Tusi (IIRC he was the one which worked for the Il-Khans so he could also be on the Mongol list). Although I am a bit disappointed that they didn't get many ancient Babylonians, they certainly did exist. And Hammurabi... better keep my mouth shut

 

[Doc Tsiolkovski]

The SGL lists are far better than the MGL lists, I think we all can agree with this.

Ok, some typos (I also never heard of 'Pythagorus'
) can always be found, and lots of simplified spellings indicate net recherches, but compared to Horsa or Richtoffen, that was really a good job...

Though the quality of the particular lists may give some hints about the nationality of the Beta Testers....no Babylonians AFAIK



And the absence of Nobel isn't necessarily an oversight: I'd call him an Inventor, not a Scientist, and the only other inventor on the list somewhere is Edison - no Daimler, no von Braun, no Wright Bros., Watts, etc.

 

[Shabbaman]

Funny how they mention Erasmus and Hugo de Groot in the introduction for the dutch but forget to include them as SGLs... Typical.
