[Gen. Rommel]

The famous Brandenburg gate in Berlin. I don't know what can be his use in Civ. Maybe crime reduction.

Perhaps need the Berlin wall already build.

I would suggest making the criteria and advantages of the Brandenburg Gate the same as the Arc de Triomph and Nelson Monument since it serves the same function as those two buildings, only that it's for Germany rather than France or England. And I would advise against making the Berlin Wall necessary, since the Brandenburg Gate was erected long before the Wall was built.

And I want to personally thank you for making all of my requests and using such beautiful pictures for each! I'm totally happy with each of your choices, and I actually think the Frauenkirche's image is very fitting, much better than the ones I linked you to.

[Vampiloup]

Opposite to what say antiracist (anti-white racists), the military jihad is not called "little" because he is less important for muslims.
If fact, the two jihads are as importants as each other. That mean they are an obligation for all real muslims

They call military jihad, the conquest and total destruction of others cultures, a "little" jihad because they think it is simplier, as for it they have God with them. The "great" jihad is seen as more difficult because is an internal and spiritual fight for obey to God, with no help from him.
