I keep hearing this but I have no idea where this idea comes from. Which major religious group would be shattered by the discovery of Aliens and why?

Read some of his previous posts. He's obviously trolling. Just ignore him and he'll eventually tire himself out.

I thought the Persians were responsible for polo? Even still, the Mongolian Empire would still be the civ I'd want to see the most. Given that they had been mentioned in some of the previews, my...

No, he's right. The British Empire was bigger. It was the biggest of all time. The Mongol Empire was the second largest empire of all time and was the largest contiguous empire, but the British...

Wow, so by not including Spain in the initial release they've convinced the Spanish to wait for the expansion and buy two Firaxis products instead? Well played Firaxis, well played.

I'd go with Atenism as an earlier monotheistic religion

I know the Australians are always getting ripped off when buying games, both in terms of steam prices and in the shops. Do you know anyone in the US or the EU? If you do, you can get them to buy if...

Sorry, double post. Damn internet.

Yeah, its "بنو أمية", but in English its called the Umayyad Caliphate. In much the same way, "الخلافة العباسية" is called the Abbasid Caliphate, and "الخلافة الفاطمية" is called the Fatimid Caliphate...

I personally think Harun ar-Rashid was a good choice, and while both he and Saladin (Salah ad-Din) would be good choices for leaders, I prefer Harun. To be honest, I've never heard of Omar ibn-Ali....

The lack of contribution on a "global" scale arises from the fact that the Old World conquered the New World. The ideas and discoveries that developed in the New World did so in isolation of the Old....

Its not just the language, its the religion and culture. Modern day Egypt is not the same civilization as ancient Egypt. Things do develop, and one civilization can develop into another (or multiple)...

While Judaism and Christianity as religions were, and still are, extremely influential, I don't think Israel as a civ was ever a major power or influential force. As an area of land, it has long been...

I'm not sure if this is in response to what I said in my last post or in response to what Toomuchcalvin wrote. However, if it was in response to what I said, I should clarify that I didn't mean to...

Alpha Centauri. Because it's one of the best games ever. I'd pay good money if they ever released that on DLC.

What civs would you say would qualify for criteria [2]? If you're counting civilizations which occupy the same space of land but are culturally distinct from the civs in the game (e.g. Ancient Egypt...

LOL, yeah. At the Olympics, they're Scottish when they lose and British when they win.

@ sixu
To be honest, having re-read the post I can see where the confusion has come from, as it could easily have been interpreted in the way that you did, so sorry about response.

WARNING: The views of sixu and his understanding of basic history (or lack thereof) are not representative of those found either here in England, or in the United Kingdom as a whole. Queen Elizabeth...

As a UU, I think that this could make the civ overpowered; no need to research or build research related buildings when you can just focus on building an army and stealing it all.

I posted this message in another thread a minute ago, and I've probably also posted a link to the site in the past, so sorry for the spam but I know that not everyone on these forums would visit the...

For anyone who hasn't seen it yet, there's a useful thread over at Civ Fanatics that lists all of the features mentioned in all the previews so far, as well as links to most of the sources used....

Yeah, the CivFanatics thread complained that he spoke modern Nahuatl including European loan words. But at least he's using the correct language though, I'd rather see that than have him speaking...

Yeah maybe. Back when all the leader speeches were up, UK, US, the Arabs, France & Germany were speaking the appropriate languages, and according to people who understand the languages on...

Just to clarify a few things; (a) not all soft Gs get replaced with hard Gs, (b) in some parts of Egypt the soft G remains unchanged, and (c) Egypt isn't the only country where you'll find soft Gs...
