Alright, done.
Oh yes, does anyone know if there is an 8-hero limit for each civ?
In Kickasso's thread, such a limit was mentioned, which is why most of the heroes lists have only eight heroes per civ.Poor silly humans.

Oh no! 'Kutusov' is very wrong. Keep 'Kutuzov'. Please search in Google for Mikhail Illarionovich Kutuzov or for 'Kutuzov' Orden Sign or for city. 'Kutuzov' used to. And 'Kutusov' and 'Kutuzov' are _different_ lastnames.Originally posted by Trip
And you may want to change the Russian leader Kutuzov to Kutusov (as it's normally spelled in English).
For Russians Kutusov are very ridiculous, I think.Comment

I'm not Russian, and neither is most of the people who play this game.
In English the name is Kutusov.
Anyways, this, an exerpt from Osprey Military's Austerlitz: Battle of the Three Emperors by David G. Chandler:
"Aged 60, the son of a military engineer, Kutusov's service had begun in the artillery of Catherine the Great. From the gunners he had transferred to the new jaeger formations and had rapidly risen to command that corps. Between 1764 and 1769 he had campaigned with growing distinction in Poland and the Kuraine, and then from 1770 to 1774 in the Crimea against the Turks, during which period he had lost an eye in action. This wound was followed by the receipt of a shot in the head at the siege of Ochakov in 1788, but he recovered from this in time to play a distinguished role in the operations that cleared the Turks from the importatn towns of Odessa, Benda, and Ismail.
...
Today, Kutusov is still regarded with awe and approval in the USSR [written 1990]."
Etc. etc. etc.
Go to google.com, search for Kutuzov and Kutusov. Tell me which you find more accurate hits of.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the Cyrillic on the painting read "Kutuzov"?

Russian leaders
Despite how some authors may have erroneously spelled it, the proper spelling of the name is Kutuzov. No one who knows the language would ever transliterate Cyrillic z > Roman s. I would question the bona fides of a historian who used the wrong spelling.
Here are the leaders, their names transliterated for that touch of authenticity, that I use for Russia. I'm not an expert on military leaders, but I believe these are well regarded in that respect. People like Lenin and Stalin don't fit this category.
Svyatoslav
Alexandr Nevskii
Dmitrii Donskoi
Ivan Groznyi
Petr Velikii
Alexandr Suvorov
Mikhail Kutuzov
Georgii ZhukovLast edited by Purple; June 9, 2002, 17:11.Comment

Alright, list has been updated.
Is Petr Velikii = Peter the Great?Poor silly humans. A temporarily stable pattern of matter and energy stumbles upon self-cognizance for a moment, and suddenly it thinks the whole universe was created for its benefit. -- mbelleroffComment

Yes.Comment

Use the actual spelling; as it would translate from the language. I agree good historians don't change the names. That would be like taking your name, and changing it to what it would be in another language and calling you that.Comment

Some spell it Pyotr to reflect the sound, but in Russian the vowels "ye" and "yo" are considered the same letter. It is pronounced "yo" when stressed.Comment

Need more?
Spell it how you like, because there is no 'official' way. Yes, he himself spelled it Kutuzov, but nearly ever source I've seen says "Kutusov", which is generally how it is accepted in English. if you disagree, fine, I won't lose sleep. You have it your way, and I'll have it my way.
