    Like it or not, this is and will be an American-centric game. To Americans, England represents the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

    Everyone knows Columbus was Italian or Norwegian or Iroquois or Aztec or Chinese.

      Hey Nikolai! Being Norwegian, you should know that Norwegians were the first documented Europeans to visit North Americ (via Greenland).

      It was Leif Ericsson!

        Thanks. But being a Norwegian, I of course already knew. Actually, I think there was some people there before him, that told him of the land beyond the sea, but he is the one aknowledged for it. But then again, there is this Irsih monk(a Saint I think) that supposedly was there before him...

          Being a Norwegian you should know his name is spelled Leiv Eirikson.
          However, it is difficult to believe that 2 times 2 does not equal 4; does that make it true? On the other hand, is it really so difficult simply to accept everything that one has been brought up on and that has gradually struck deep roots – what is considered truth in the circle of moreover, really comforts and elevates man? Is that more difficult than to strike new paths, fighting the habitual, experiencing the insecurity of independence and the frequent wavering of one’s feelings and even one’s conscience, proceeding often without any consolation, but ever with the eternal goal of the true, the beautiful, and the good? - F.N.

            He seems to be a Scot judging from his location.

                Some theories tell about chineses, polinesians, arabs, norse and, phoenician coming to America before Columbus. Also, there are native legends that talk about a misterious "Paye Sumé", a man that built roads and taught many things to them, but at least tried to make them accept a new religion and was kicked out of the tribes. So, the Spanish probably wasn't the first to "discover" the America. And who really started the modern age were the Ottomans. They invaded Byzantium, and the wises that ran away from there went to Italy and helped on the Renaissance.
