Augustus Caesar

Large groups of right-leaning, evangelical christians still support him, and in the media they are almost(?) as bad in their oh-so-holy self-righteousness as radical muslims (though not as violent).

Shouldn't they be praying instead of playing evil computer games that guarantee them a seat in the first circle of hell?

Hmmm what would GWB's traits be?

Surely there would be a negative factor on beakers?

As for the rankings, not too sure, but I would think that Augustus will be removed.

I can't remember: is Otto von Bismark on the list?

You can't do that! He's already a civ LEADER!

So? Julius Caesar is also on the list, but would you deny him the spot he deserves?

Doh! Good point.
I play as Caesar all the time, once in a (great) while I even obtain that rank. Goes to show how much attention I give it ... after all, the end-of-game lasts me only a few minutes, while the huge/marathon game may last me 30-60(+) hours.

I'm not so sure I agree. At this point the vast majority of people have come to a consensus on Bush. I don't think it would be divisive, for that reason. Four years ago? Even two? You bet. But with Nixonian approval ratings, how divisive would it really be?

Don't worry, Bush'll be "Reaganized" within a few short years. He was our first true conservative evangelical President. (Nixon was a Quaker. Clinton was a liberal evangelical.) That segment of religiousity is growing quickly in America--neck and neck with Islam.

Fun times.

But, yes, like Nixon, he'll go out with a whimper, a dodgy "not everything I did was boneheaded" speech, and unlike the Hammer, he'll keep his posterity-posterior in sight by getting as close to the center as possible. And eventually we'll all remember that he opened China, got us out of Vietnam and make him a regular spoof villian on "Futurama."

"Hi. I'm the head of George W. Bush. Without my body I don't have to worry about putting my foot in my mouth." *wheezy, creepy laugh*

Wake up. Futurama ended like 5 years ago.
Get on with your life.

Actually, this is not true anymore.

It is returning with new episodes to Comedy Central.

I didn't know that. Great news.

What I really want to know is that who used to above Augustus. In Sulla's gameplay example preview based on a pre-release version, he mentioned that acheived a rank of Augustus Caesar at the end of the game but mentions in passing that there are some higher!

Mystery!

In Civ (original), I believe the top score would exceed even that of Solomon the Wise!
