I'm more proud on our history that I would be as an American on American history. On a short history, based on killing, slavery and, today, endangering the whole planet. When will USA sign Kjoto(the only one remaining), children protection(just USA and Nigeria haven't signed it, I think), anti-biological weapon (again, only USA need biological weapons) and other treaties? Without these basic human concepts, USA are not in the civilized world even TODAY. Karantanija was more democratic than USA today and you can view on democracy from any angle you want. I was talking about CULTURE, my dearest friend. Americans don't have ANY culture at all, comparing to European countries, so I really don't understand what are they doing in Civilisation?

I'm not sure, but I mentioned that because Spanish is one of the main languages of the Americas. As for the others, I know that in English and French this is not the case but I'm not sure about Portuguese.Originally posted by November Adam

hehe okay,
americans accuse me of american bashing, now you are trying to accuse me of glorifying america....
all that you said above is true, except for the bit about karantanijan democracy - karantanija was a feudal feifdom so we need not get into its democratic standards. i've said all i had about americans and how nice it would be to have them in the game as an english civil war fraction instead of a full civ. now since we both agree on that, stop selling me the remarkable history of slovenia
(actually 90% of the westerners still confuse you with slovakia)

What the f... does this matter to me?! About Karantanija... Read some more books or at least articles about voting their chiefs (who voted them and how). Again, repeating: I was talking about pur culture! Is that too hard to understand? American culture can't be compared to European cultures? Ok? Would you, please, reveal your home country? Middle Europe, where?Comment

now as you know, the concept of mitteleuropa is cherished by many people there, especially slovenians, when it was politically oportunistic.
you are asking me to reveal the exact location so that you can pinpoint something and start some vitriolic attacks. i am sorry if i have insulted mighty caranthanian democracy, craddle of western civilization. slovenians should definitely be included into civ3. come to think of it, i will start another poll about that

I believe there was another thread regarding civs as nations, or civs as cultures (my apologies for taking this out of context improperly). I guess the biggest thing is, should we put in true
"civilizations" (those which started long ago), or nations...
I think it would be fun to play this game with the names of civs w/ ancient origins.

hm an interesting idea...but a very hard to implement. imagine discussion on whom to include as civ (and not a nation) and the ensuing row over whether us or uk have to get outOriginally posted by November Adam

Well, it doesn't really matter, but I would say you are from Austria. There's a lot of nacists there even today. I don't want to insult you or any other from your country, but Austria really is covered in smoke of anti-slovenian propaganda, that's why I think so... and du hast the word "mittel" geschreiben... or is it geschrieben? I'm not sure.Comment

To true, one way to stay neutral is to go back before the UK, was such... when they were Anglos, and Saxxons... or even further (my history is rusty, so I don't know what they were before that).
Regarding civs that were wiped out long ago, they SHOULD be in a game, because with you as ruler, you could help them avoid being wiped out.What if your words could be judged like a crime? "Creed, What If?"Comment

Yeah, that's true, but there are SO many "tribes" like that.Comment

es ist geschrieben (perfect )
well, i know they have some anti-slovenian propaganda, but you actually should thank them for supporting your independence cause when it was not only tough but also very dangerous.

So you are a German speaking North-Italian? I hope you are not one of those who still think that one third of Slovenia belongs to Italy, like it was during the both wars?

Hmmmm, then there would be a pissing match over which tribes could stay, etc. And then all the history buffs on the forum could flex their brains, and strut around calling other people idiots.Originally posted by Trdi
