Oh I get it now, that's a detail of that 1 building, I thought it meant as a general more scientists would come if you had the expansion pack.

The traits on Stalin and Augustus have been put back up. I think that Stalin's are possible, but I don't see how Augustus would be creative.

He was gay, was he not?

Always have your gay friend help you get ready for a big date.

Augustus was not gay.

One should remember that being 'gay' was not a stigma for most cultures until after Christianity became popular.

Augustus should probably be organized and either imperialistic or charismatic. I'd argue for charismatic because of his grand scheme where he allowed the structure, rights, priviledges, and honors of the republic to remain almost entirely instact (if entirely superficial) while in reality exercising absolute despotism.

He played very well at being unpretentious and ruled despotically without greatly upsetting a population accustomed to and desirous of a republic. Where Julius Caesar was overthrown, Octavian Augustus was FAR more clever and much better at the arts of persuasion and personal charm.

Of course, I can see giving him Imperialistic, too, given the sheer size of the empire at the time and the "Pax Romana" that lasted until less charismatic and clever rulers took the throne he created.

Then again... this is Firaxis. Lord only knows what they'll decide to do. For all we know, Augustus could end up being Creative and Financial.

i think that it is false, as Satlin is tailor made for the new Charismatic trait, In fact I think that this trait is based on stalin, it would be a HUGE mistake to not give stalin Charismatic, He fooled the world for about 20 years. in fact stalin was so charismatic that he was able win an "election" (of party officials i think) against someone who had much beter ides than him, but had bad communication skills, he actually got him exiled, (and probably stole some of his ideas.

What's even more bizarre is that if you read the memoirs of some of the survivors of the Gulag, innocent intelligent people convinced themselves that they must have been guilty of something because Comrade Stalin thought they might be.

They had come to love Big Brother...
