Gee, an American Game has America as one of the civs and will probably sell over a million copies alone to AMERICANS.
What a silly discussion.

It's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit. Sheeple

We fought, with guns, for our independence. We fought civil wars (loyalists vs. patroits) before we got our independence. And you protested against the same nation we beat by the gun.Originally posted by LordShiva

Yeah, all the fuss we made and they got their independance, almost literally, without lifting a finger.
(EDIT: Removed apparently erronious statement)
And, BTW, England didn't rule the world... they just SAID they did.
As Eddie Izzard says: "England ruled the world through the clever use of FLAGS".

Well anyway back on topic...
I don't seriously think that we need 2 USAs (maybe a mod of some sort but not the standard game) but I also don't see the use of multipul native civilizations. Eigher the Aztecs or the Incans is okay we don't need both.Comment

Well, then you get into things like: How close do they have to be before they are too close?
What about Mongols and China? Or America and England?
The entire discussion is too subjective to be anything but a parlor game.

LordShiva has it right. If I recall correctly, they didn't even have contact with each other. Wouldn't hurt to include to include the Irriquois (Sp?) either. However, these inclusions are not relevant to the inclusion of the US. US and Korea belong because lots of people in these two countries play these type games and will be more inclined to buy if a civ they can identify with is in the game. This over and above scientific contributions and relative power charts justifies the developers' decisions.
The real question in terms of great civs is why not at least one from the Babylon/Sumeria/Akkadia group?No matter where you go, there you are. - Buckaroo Banzai

Why don't we need both? They both held important roles in World History and, as stated above, were completely different civilizations that were as different as Americans and English today. Do we not need to include both of those? Should we make one civ called Americengland.Originally posted by Qwertqwert

Neigher of them stood the test of time... The reason why I said one of the other, is because I feel there is only 1 native American civilization needed. That one could be the Iroquis also. There's definatly more worthy civilizations then having both Aztecs and Incans.Originally posted by LordShiva

What a silly discussion.I don't know why he saved my life. Maybe in those last moments he loved life more than he ever had before. Not just his life - anybody's life, my life. All he'd wanted were the same answers the rest of us want. Where did I come from? Where am I going? How long have I got? All I could do was sit there and watch him die.Comment

And if they are not counted as being different, the Austria & Bavaria are already covered by the Germans as wellOriginally posted by LordShiva
