So are you arguing that Castile should be included and not Spain?

I'm well aware of Germanic history, but we're talking within the bounds of Civ III (which says a lot). Castile vs. Spain wouldn't fit either, which is the point I'm trying to make. I'm not saying that Prussians were as different as Hannovarians like Koreans and Chinese; however, I am trying to make the Civ III distinction.

Trip :
No, I think the Spanish should be included, just like the Americans. But I understand why XarXo doesn't feel so. His arguments are solid, but the logic of the game require the Spanish to be in.

I've to admit that a Spanish civ was the most adequate, due ONLY that it represents all the "latino" world, including Portugal too (Portugal was, with the Crown of Aragon, the third originally proposed member of Spain, in some years it was inside in the kingdmom of Spain).

Well, it rest for me that the choosen leader is Isabella, queen FIRST of Castile, so, Crown of Aragon isn't here. The problem is that surely FIRAXIS included Barcelona and València... But... There are a "Barcelona" and a "Valencia" in Ecuador and Venezuela respectively, so, quite good... I'm "saved" !!

Don't worry abut me, I'm not a stupid "etarra" terrorist, I consider that violence (out of a game, of course! ) is only a solution for minor lifeforms (this includes George W. Bush, Saddam Hussein, Ussamah Bin Laden and Sharon).

That's my (only) point.

Sorry, but I'll be the French teacher Panag
In French, Portugal is called Portugal today. It's the first time I hear about the Porte/port du Graal, but I believe you the country was so called, several centuries ago. BTW, Gate is "Porte", "Port" means harbor.
