Easter Eggs in CivIII Conquests?

Sure enough...

"Istanbul (Not Constantinople)"

Only a few years before TMBG released the song in 1990.

I hate it when I find out a favorite song is just a cover...

At least I still have David Lee Roth's "California Girls".

If this isn't an easter egg, then I don't know what is. I have no clue where it came from. Last turn I had the normal Arab King units (a scenario with Mass Regicide). I didn't change any settings. Upon loading the current turn, I saw this - all King units turned into Elvis.

Just noticed this in my Sengoku-based PBEM too Was hoping to be first to post, but I can't beat you GMTers

I hope my Mass Regicide PBEM comes around to me today.

Not really easter eggs but some of the city names owe more to Civ fandom than real life history. There was no real ancient Greek city called 'Apolyton' for instance.

Obviously. It's entirely due to the website.

There's "Not Constantinople" and "Mingapulco" and "Thunderfall" too.

There's a "Mingapulco" in stock Civ?

Thats because Jan 8th is the "kings" birthday.

I think thats the best known "Easter Egg".
