"On Second Thought..." Civs: A Truly Unique X-Pack?

[Mister Pleasant]

Hey! No thread hijacking!

Civ: The Argentines
Capital: Buenos Aires
Leader: either Peron or Galtieri
Special Abilities: Militarist/Commercial
Special Unit: No idea.

Civ: The Peruvians
Capital: Lima
Leader: Velasco (world's only left-wing military dictator)
Special Abilities: Industious/Commercial
Special Unit: Some sort of Guerilla fighter with all terrain movement.

Let's get some post colonial civs into the game. And Latin America is always underrepresented.

the boers are a good idea but the problem is that they were just a very long footnote (oxymoron?) in british history. the two things they evr did were the great trek and the boer war. they lasted for a very short time, I forget the exact number of years but it wasnt many. if they were a civ, then thats cool, but someone else must think of the cities...

I don't think modern-day Boers (Afrikaaners) would agree with you that that they no longer exists. They have been in Africa since the 1600s, and still exist as a people.
They were defeated by the British, but later, through politics, they gained control of the South African government.

About cities: they built lots of them. Cape Town, Johannesburg, Pretoria, Bloemfontein, just to name a few.

Cape Town was founded by the Dutch, not the Boers. The Boers are decendents of the Dutch though.
