Ethiopian China, that is strange! Also Islam Incan civ kind of rare too.

Not as weird as the Persian Korea I saw once.

I've actually seen a Persian Korea twice before. It is strange, but IMHO no way as bizarre as Ethiopian China! At least the Persians were known as an imperialistic civilization, conquered vast regions of the world and their UHV requires it. The Ethipions do not have that kind of history, their UHV does not require vast territory and geographically they are further away from East Asia.

Persian South East Asia in my American game this week was rather odd, given that they had only spawned in 1900 and it ended in 1950.

The Persian Korea is actually quite common, because Persia sends its immortals out scouting (instead of trying to take down Babylon from the start), and if that particular immortal reached Seoul right when it appeared (without defenders) it will most likely capture it. I've seen it probably 2-3 times playing as China, and I had to reload to beat them to it.

I agree with Pacifist. I've played games as India, Greece, Ethiopia, and Rome, and have met Persia multiple times while they own Seoul. I've seen it enough times that I almost expected it whenever I played an ancient civ.

 

[Verily]

Perhaps Persia should be programmed to declare war on Babylon more often?

Yeah - I sometimes see French stacks exploring Siberia (they get open borders because of their UP). Maybe give them some scouts or something?

 

[Úmarth]

Persian Korea really screws you over with Japan because taking it back gives you a bad relationship with Persia which is hard to recover from which means you can't get your galley to Europe for trade.

Turkish units walking on water!?!
No idea how they did it, looks like a bug - probably not RFC related though?

I'm playing the Khmer, that's my caravel one tile south of Istanbul. But south of my caravel are 2 Longbows, a catapult and a trebuchet belonging to Turkey. There is no naval unit present in that tile though. I had my mouse hovering over those 4 Turkish units at the time of the screenshot.

Maybe it's 2 flipped galleys (without the galleys) when Turkey spawned.

It looks more like some of the Turkish spawn units that never made it ashore though.

2 turns after I took that screenshot I finished researching Medicine. 5 turns after that, the rest of the known world got the plague and I rocketed up to be top dog in score.

not the first time I see it.

The great bridge of Belfast!

The Byzantine Empire Strikes Back!

(Turks didn't collapse after that, in fact, they managed to recapture Sogut, while Germany often collapses in Early Middle Age for no reason without losing any cities. Strange...)

 

[Panopticon]

I have no funny caption for this. It's simply a Turkish Transport in the middle of the Arabian desert. That is all.

looks like a cockroach to me.

 

[Lokolus]

It's a simbol from God (or Rhye) that Israel shoul'd be in! 1948 is the date of our independence. It's the Protestanism mod?

 

[Panopticon]

Yes it is... although that transport is quite a bit away from the Negev so I don't think it has anything to do with Israel. I simply can't work it out.

 

[blizzrd]

Perhaps it is the missing transport for the Turkish units I had walking on water...

 

[reverend oats]

I bet there was formerly a fort there that was then pillaged.
