It is if you read CFC on your phone.

It depends on the phone.

I read on my lumia 920.

Works like a charm

Tibet/Emperor

I spawn and go to the world builder just to see what has happened. The only living civs are Egyptians, Arabians (who are at war with the Egyptians), Scandinavians, Ethiopians, Indians, Dravidians, Chinese, Koreans (vassal of China), and the Japanese. All of Europe apart from the Scandinavians is either independent or barbarian (it would appear that the Byzantines never spawned).

My question is how were the Egyptians able to stay alive that long?

I believe the Tibetans spawn shortly before the Spanish (who are the first Europeans to spawn), so that's not a surprise. The Romans and Greeks were destroyed by barbarians already, I assume. The Byzantines don't spawn if Rome is dead or Greece is alive at their spawn date.

I believe the Romans should be classified as barbarians.

I actually see that happening pretty often unless I am a neighbor. The egyptians do not have barbarian issues as serious as middle eastern and european civs.

Of course the arab flip will terminate them pretty fast.

I've never had a game where they survived both the Greek and the Roman stacks beaming in. Except the time I played them myself.

Come to think of it, it happened when I played Rome while trying for domination.

Rather large Ottoman empire controls the north-African coast, Egypt, Arabia (except that awful city Portugal loves to take/build), Greece, southern Italy, most of the Balkans, and Iraq. They're Stable/Shaky despite this, and are actually Orthodox, not Islamitic!

Marathon 300BC America start where Austria decided to swap their mountains for the Greek coasts. (or more likely, Prussia decided it for them)

@ Last pic: The Holy Roman Empire. Still not Holy, still not Roman and still not an Empire.

 

[NoShameD]

I also note a russian Marrakech on the first pic... Quite unusual...

 

[apenpaap]

^Yeah, completely forgot about that; the Russians were very conquest-happy that game. They also got Amsterdam when Germany declared war on me (Poland; I was going for a cultural victory and in a three-way defensive pact with Turkey and Russia, so both of them joined in every time someone attacked me), Belgrado (though they gave it to me a few turns later), Constantinople, (after the Ottomans collapsed much later) and a couple more random cities I can't recall right now.

 

[mykeedee]

So I loaded a Byzantine start and found some unusual things...

Phoenicia still going strong

Spoiler :

Persia too...

Spoiler :

None of those are too unusual but how about Persian Hispania?

Spoiler :

Still not doing it for you? how about Taoism founded in Kalhu?

What worries me most is that Phoenicia is about to finish the Oracle. I just hope your galleys are fast enough to reach Sur in two turns.

Why? Byzantium doesn't start with Pantheon.
And Sur's in Byzzy flipping zone.

Not if it's the original owner and has been founded on the starting spot.
