Israel

[Cruddy]

Yes they have.

Having already posted the URL once, all I can say is "go and look on Civfanatics".

And if the mods don't like me for recommending an alternate site - why don't they have the mods on hand for download?

[needle]

Whats a merkava? Is that a kosher avocado or something? (Joke ! Joke!)

Of course an Irish UU would be the Disgruntled Drunken Novelist.

[steven8r]

How about an Israeli UU: Masad (Massad??) a 'special forces' unit available with Nationalism or some other tech of that branch.

It could have the special ability of making enemy cities go into unrest. LOL.

[needle]

Nah, it's the only unit that would have to defect to England before it could be of any use. And then you have to wait 20 years after it was dead to really be appreciated.

[Plotinus]

Not sure about some of those Israeli cities... Capernaum was Roman, Damascus was there before the Israelites ever were, Bethany was not a city but a leper colony just outside Jerusalem (it always amuses me that this has nevertheless apparently become a girl's name in America!).

[Smellincoffee]

Like I said, I just copied from from the Our World book (National Geographic, not Reader's Digest) and one of my biblcia map.

I always knew the Jews ran Philly! AHA!

[Salah al-Din]

Philadelphia = Fila del Fia

Philadelphia, along with a whole pile of cities, and towns in the US got their names from other, or older cities around the world, or were named after famous people.

[Plotinus]

[Salah al-Din] Yes, and of course the Egyptians have Memphis too. Iit amuses me greatly that if you try to look up the Great Library of Alexandria on Google you get the website of the library at a town called Alexandria, Virginia. Not really what I was looking for.

[pauli]

while i can't duplicate your search results, they don't surprise me. alexandria is a very well wired city, right between dc and the rest of northern virginia - how's internet connectivity and business in egypt, anyway?

I take it that the strategic resource required is whiskey and that we need to build the "Giant's Causeway" first.

Or would bombing the English capital work.
