She's actually Zakharov's neice, Lydia Deirdresky, who camouflaged her name when she broke with her Uncle just prior to the Unity's destruction .......

Oh Young lives next door. He is a very bright 4 year old. I don't know what exactly his parents do. I only know that they seem to be holding some important connections in the Chinese government. I have started to teach Young all the tactics I learned from SMAC. I'm sure he'll be very mature by the time they plan to move back to China (Last I heard they are planning to go back in 6 years).Be good, and if at first you don't succeed, perhaps failure will be back in fashion soon. -- teh Spamski

O wait, he is the son of a colleague of mine? He and his wife left their son with his grandparents. Now they are earning a living in the USA after he had a postdoc position in Germany.
... Oh no, the boy must be older now.

I didn't mean the name didn't sound Scottish, I meant her in-game voice, doesn't sound even remotely Scottish...
And if she comes from Free Scotland, how soon are they getting independence?"Love the earth and sun and animals, despise riches, give alms to every one that asks, stand up for the stupid and crazy, devote your income and labor to others, hate tyrants, argue not concerning God, have patience and indulgence toward the people, take off your hat to nothing known or unknown . . . reexamine all you have been told at school or church or in any book, dismiss whatever insults your own soul, and your very flesh shall be a great poem and have the richest fluency" - Walt WhitmanComment

Just for the record, Chairman Yang looks like my grandfather, and my grandfather actually fled China as the Communists took over.
Xioapang? *scratch head* Never heard of him. Are you sure this is even a Chinese name?

Xioapang looks sufficiently Chinese for non-Chinese. In fact, there are rumours that Um Lei Tung is the Chinese minister of traffic - in Germany.Why doing it the easy way if it is possible to do it complicated?Comment

The strange thing is that the Firaxis website has Yang as something of an imperialist, not a communist. He is security minister to the "Golden Emperor" (by the way, an astonishingly crap title - one that I don't think the Chinese would even consider) and disappears in the "Crimson Secession" (presumably some second Communist revolution).
If you look closely, Yang's preferences are for Police State, not Planned economics. This is in keeping with his authoritarian leanings. The real Communists in the game are Marr and H'minee, who favor Planned.
"OH NOS!!11!111! DuZ Tihs mEan daT Yang ain"T a Kommi?//?/?? TehN whO wiLL We gET to beAT On netX?!?!?!?!?1?"
Yes, I'm afraid it does. However, don't give up hope! Fortunately, Yang is Chinese, and as we all know, Chinese people/government/politics/freeze-dried-noodles are the root of all the modern world's evils, a la Clancy's The Bear and the Dragon, so obviously SMAC players the world over can heave a sigh of relief because we still have a good reason to hate Yang. ~ The end.

Speaking of the Crimson-Headed-Warrior: one of the pictures of her in the diplomacy comm display is actually quite photogenic. She's a late teen or young adult and she's making a kissy face at the screen. When I saw that, I remembered the manual saying she is charismatic and can attract and manipulate people.
Interesting to see that Firaxis put in a little kernel of personality continuity behind this usually-maligned leader.
