Happily, Solver understood my comment even if you did not.

Stop your silly games. If you have something to contribute to the topic, do so, if not, don't post - that's something you seem to still be struggling with . The forum doesn't need your hostility, and it also doesn't need your advice on when to move or close threads.

When someone posts in the CIV4 General forum that they think perhaps a leader should be assigned a different civ, it is logicly assumed they mean in CIV4.

As a side note, I nominate Kuciwalker as the offical Aployton Welcome Commitee Leader, seeing as this is the second time in two days he gave such insightful and warm replys to threads started by "settlers".

To address the orginal topic of the thread however...

Personally, I would like to see alot more ancient civs added to the game, the Maya, Macedonians, some Native American tribes, etc...

I would however not want to see Alexander as the Macedonian leader, since his impact on the world was while leading the Greeks.

[Kuciwalker]

They're the same settler, Pinchak.

[Pinchak]

I still nominate you.

[Kuciwalker]

I accept the nomination and think I'd do a fantastic job.

[Virdrago]

You already are.

Hey, didnt Alexander the Great rule over Macedonia? thats not right, i mean his father PhillipII conquered greece and everything but that doesnt mean he was a greek. the only thing that is a little odd is that h was so obsessed with greek mythology but other than that, being trained By Socrates who lived throught the war isnt at all that strange. i think maybe their should be a Macedonia civilization and maybe Alexander the great could be their king

Well, yes, you're right. Yet, by the same token, Frederick was Prussian, not German; and Stalin was Georgian, not Russian. At the time of Alexander, Macedon, even though they had conquered the other Greeks, was so thoroughly intertwined politically and culturally, it was essentially a Greek entity, as opposed to Greece being a Macedonian entity.

I hope that made sense.

I see it more as a Frankish Empire-Rome relationship. Thankfully, Charlemagne isn't one of the Roman leaders

If Alexander can't be a greek leader than no one lead Greece because Pericles is Athanian, Agamemnon was only the only the king with the most influence, and a modern leader would have little chance of getting in. Macedon was one the various Greek states. If you are thinking Macedonia isn't greek because Macedonia is a seperate state today, look at the map below. Almost none of ancient Macedonia is in the modern country.



Alexander was Greek.

will9, i understand your confusion, you see, greece was conquered by alexanders father Phillip the second(i dont know if phillip the first was a king but who cares about the unfamous guy! so for a long greece was ruled by macedonia, even after alexanders father was assasinated, he also conquered persia if you didnt know, o wait do u have Civ4 Warlords?
