It looks like a ninja. Samuray were feudal warriors or so to say.

I think ninjas were the evil guys, primarily assasins, thieves and mercenaries. But I could be wrong.

Giving a Civ 2 UUs would not unbalance the game as long as none of the 2 UUs unbalance the game and one has to produce each, it's not like getting "free units".

Spain has a very long and glorious military tradition. It began with the Reconquista and from this point on nobody was able to rival them on the battlefield. They had a large and strong army with many well-experienced commanders at their side. That's why they were able to be such a long time at the top because of their military power and in my opinion it surely is an accomplishment to conquer a whole continent almost alone and even the European powers at this time like France and Portugal were not able to rival them.

That may of been. The problem was that with the vast amounts of silver and gold coming from their possessions in the New World they got complacent. Why develop new ideas or inventions when you can just buy them from othetr countries? Got a probvlem? Throw money at it. Same with the military.

During the Napoleonic wars they got their asses handed to them all accross Spain. Granted the French broke the RoP agreement they had with the Spanish, but even so. It wasn't so much their men though as their officers. When they were competently lead they could and did fight off larger French forces. Just that a lot of the senior officers didn't seem able to.

On another thing, is it true that the favoured government for the Ottomans is going to the the Republic? Um, wtf? The Ottoman empire was always a monarchy lead by the Sultan. It was only right at the very end when it all broke apart that it changed. Still, at least they got the liking for artillery right which is something.

In fact, the ninjas were diplomats (of sorts) who were also involved in the odd assasination

I got it from one of the future previews that were posted recently. I'll have dig and try and find which one. But I sincerely hope that someone got the wrong end of the stick and that it was a mistake. Either that or it's the first thing that I'm changing.

Edit: It was in the UGO preview that you can find here. Just below the massive advert in the middle, left of the picture of whom I assume is Osman.

As always, they have their special strengths that determine their start; the Ottomans are Industrious and Scientific, prefer artillery units and the Republic, while the Spaniards are Commercial and Religious, preferring to build naval units, trading, and exploring, while preferring the Monarchy.

This better be mistake.
