Equal oppurtunity does not guarantee equal results. Let everybody have a chance but also let those most suited get the job.

anyway , please lets stay on topic in this thread , ...
It seems to me that Firaxis has just taken a heap of present-day Scandinavian cities and labeled them "Vikings". It's easy, but not necessarily correct. - Gangerolf
Possibly the Viking's cities would represent modern Norway, and other Scandinavian countries when they reach the industrial/modern era.

There will be no "historical accuracy" to be found in a civ game.... I hope they don't let stuff like this bog them down and slow up production. Who cares what the cities are named, odds are britan will build the pyramids. That's part of the fun. If you want historical accuracy, read books. You can change whatever you want in the editor. Firaxis, if you read this, name all the cities alpha through omega, and that'd be fine by me. ESPECIALLY if it means the next patch gets released a day sooner.... Heck, I usually rename my cities weird stuff anyway....

hi ,
with the new editor coming , we can place stuff , so we can build this or that city , with this or that , ....
If you guys want REAL historical accuracy, then Carthage would need 400 pics cause the people in charge of Carthage were the Council of 400. So they just choose the most recognized and SINGLE most powerful person avaible.

This is what Britannica.com has to say about Brennus:
according to tradition, the leader of the band of Gauls who captured Rome about 390 BC. Most scholars accept his historicity even though he is first mentioned by the Roman historian Livy (59 or 64 BC–AD 17) and not by earlier writers of comprehensive histories such as Polybius (2nd century BC).
Encyclopedia.com:
He occupied Rome but failed to take the Capitol from Manlius (Marcus Manlius Capitolinus). According to legend, when the tribute that the Romans had agreed to pay was being weighed, a Roman complained, whereupon Brennus threw his sword on the scale, crying, "Vae victis!" [woe to the vanquished]. His historical existence is dubious.
So he may or may not be real, depending whom you believe. But at least he has a cool story.
There was a second Brennus, a little more pathetic (from Encylcopedia.com again):
d. 279 BC, Gallic leader. He was in command of the band of Gauls (or Galatians) who invaded Greece in 279 BC At first halted at Thermopylae, he later turned and took the pass into Doris. He was wounded in an unsuccessful attack on Delphi and is supposed to have committed suicide on the northward retreat after the Gauls were attacked by the Thessalians.
Hopefully that's the Brennus I'll be playing against.
As for a leader of Carthage, how about Dido? Another female leader no less! (Maybe she never existed, but never mind.) Which means now we can assassinate Joan of Arc and install Napolean as rightful leader of the French. Vive la revolution! I too hate the phony leaders picked for PC reasons . But I don't mind Catherine the Great instead of Stalin (actually I prefer her, or Peter the Great). Basically any leader will do as long as he or she was really a leader and was important for some reason. It doesn't have to be the most important leader; that's debatable in many cases anyway.
Deserts are defined as areas with less than 10 inches of precipitation per year, whether that falls as rain or snow. And by the way Texas is not uniformly (or even mostly) a desert. It is desert in the far west (El Paso averages about 8") but not in the east (Houston gets more rain than Seattle; Dallas or San Antonio get more rain on average than London). Texas is hot, but heat is not the defining characteristic of desert; precipitation is. Same way the Amazon is not a desert.
Now for something on topic.. uh... the screen shots look great!
