Does Mali Deserve To Be In Civ IV?

They're under the impression they were deleted by Alexander 01 . They've seceded and formed the Carthaginian Republic.

@Heresson: 99,99% people of the world do not even know what or where is Mali.

Come on, you can do better than that. You've been around Poly long enough to know that kind of talk doesn't get anyone anywhere - or are you bent on keepin' the flamewars alive and kicking?

Back on track: while you are probably right that from the current world's population only a small (and utterly unkown) percentage may know what or where Mali is, it is not an issue: the same goes for a lot of other countries...

I feel this thread has been quite successful in showing that Mali is a noteworthy civ, even if many disagree. Are you trying to tell us that you don't like them because 'nobody' knows them?

OK. Mali isn't that bad. But only if Aethiopia is in as well.

[GeoModder]

There's light in the tunnel.

[Heresson]

Aethiopia!

[Heresson]

Aethiopia2!

[GeoModder]

We could call it as well Nubia then.

[Heresson]

Ethiopia!

Nubia was not that bad as well, but: Aethiopia!

[Heresson]

But Mali is not that bad either...

@Heresson: Aethiopia!.

I don't think that's going to happen, but I agree: it would be nice to be able to play them too...

I think it's not going to be too difficult to mod the civs in that you want to play with, but then it's also true that you don't have the little extras out-of-the-box like the animated leaderheads etc... Maybe the guys at Firaxis would be willing to give us the templates they used for one of their leaderheads? Nah, not going to happen either

Ethiopia 4ever!! Haile Selassie I is our God! Rastafari is cool!
Man, good stuff we're smoking here... Is it banana peel?

[GeoModder]

But then the Italians need to be included as well. Didn't Mussolini managed to take the country?

Bella Abyssinia!

I'd love to see Ethiopia in the first expansion! (I know. It's too early to be talking about expansions. ) But only if it's not spelled with "Ae". Whenever I see that combo of letters, I want to pronounce it "Ayee".
