Why is it that the screenshots identify one of China's leaders as Qin Shi Huang, rather than as Qin Shi Huang Di I wonder?
The meaning of his name can be thus broken down:
Qin - his feudal state
Shi - first, beginning
Huang - yellow or Shang - heavenly
Di - God-Emperor
This was the reigning title taken by Zheng, the Wang (king) of the State of Qin when he began a new dynasty after vanquishing the Zhou in the 3rd Century BC.
Why would CivIV truncate his throne name-title?
Pardon me if this has already been resolved, but I haven't seen that anyone else has noticed this. Maybe I'm just a history nerd.
