Do you play with self-imposed restrictions?

I love UU's, though they probably wouldn't be necessary if there weren't so few units to choose from. Let's see, do I choose between horsemand or swordsmen. They only give you 2 choice. I like having a 3rd choice.

How is choosing between immortal and horseman a third choice?

they should have thought about that before they pissed the khan of khans off.

That was Genghis and the merchants/envoys/spies to the Khwarzm khanate. Timur was Turco-Mongol (or claimed to be) and was a Muslim.

And seemed keener on killing his fellow Muslims than did Genghis, who wasn't bothered what religion you were.

The murder of 450 Muslim merchants at a place called Otrar in the year 1218 changed the face of Central Asia, and indeed, of the world, for it triggered the most devastating invasion of steppe nomads in history. Among the merchants was an envoy of Genghis Khan, leader of the Mongol hordes. He punished this interference with free trade on the steppes by unleashing 200,000 men, first against Otrar, then against Samarkand. Soon all of Central Asia and Persia had felt the wrath of the Mongols: More than five million people were killed in these two areas alone. The cities of Bukhara, Samarkand, Tashkent, Balkh and Marv were sacked with terrible loss of life.

Dis I am in favor of introducing a unit workshop as in SMAC, that would solve the too few units problem.

[GeoModder]

I definitely second this. Way easier to make a Alpha Centauri mod then.

I think that with the powerfull scripting language that is going to be included it will be possible to create a unit workshop even though there is no such thing in the original game.
