attn Firaxis: Petition for the Hebrews

[XarXo]

If FIRAXIS put Hebrews in the game, I want Crown of Aragon too! We're 11 millions and our territory is 5 times Israel.

Palestinians deserve it more

I would prefer a Palestinian civ for the next XP.

I'd also love to see a decent solution for the Palestinian people in real life, but ...

let's start giving them something already, because they're getting none in their home country.

That's all I have to say about this one. Don't attempt to 'discuss' this post by defending Israel's politics.

We differ in that one.

Ah ha, yes, but there is a major difference between the Code of Hammurabi and the Ten Commandments...that is: The Code of Hammurabi wasn't written up by God.

Anyway, the Hebrews should be 1) Religious, 2) Militaristic. The UU should be something like a sling-man...perhaps a unit that comes from the start, and like the Conquistador, doesn't replace anything.

Hmmm...Palestine...Militaristic and...Militaristic. Special Unit: The Suicide Bomber. Leader: Yasir Arafat. Capital...ummm...it changes periodically.

[aebrahim]

If the Hebrews were ever to be in this expansion pack, they would have to be militaristic. While you're at it, why not have Hitler (oops I mean Ariel Sharon, but whats the difference) as the leader.

[SomeOneElse]

yes, bigger map, more civs on the board
slows down the game unless you have state of the art computer

hi ,

, "turnless" mode , .....

but then again , for 32 civ's , a slower turn is worth the waiting

have a nice day

I don't think that they should include Hebrews as a civ. I think it causes too much political tension and I think that there are many other civs who are more worthy of inclusion.

I do like their possible additions of wonders however.

[Ribannah]

Whereas the inclusion of America, Russia, Germany, Japan etc. ... and now perhaps Arabia, Turkey, Spain, Mongolia causes no political tension whatsoever

Yes, there are some civs that I'd put ahead of the Hebrews (the Dutch come to mind - and they produced some Wonders, too), but the Hebrew civilization wouldn't be out of place in the second expansion pack.

[Panag]

hi ,

we shall all be happy with the new editor , in there we can make our own , ....

this shall be nice and

in there we can do almost what we want , ......

have a nice day

I also add my vote for the Hebrews. They have a good modern armor, which I have seen done up on one of the sites.

[Q Classic]

i don't mind adding the hebrews. but as for how influential they are to the modern world, second, after the greeks... i think you mean just the western world?
about a few billion in asia didn't really have that much influence from the greeks or the hebrews until recently, you know? and even now, that influence? not so great...

Oh, that could be the start of peace in the Middle East. Sorry, couldn't resist.

The Hebrews, through Christianity, have had tremendous influence everywhere on Earth, and especially today in Asia and China, where it had been strong in from 400 to 900 AD until it was outlawed by the Emperors. I would say that the influence of the Hebrews, through Christianity and the Good Book alone, matches if not overcomes the influence of the Greeks.
