New Chinese City and Leader List

[Azeem]

The city list for the Chinese civ is too short!

Since Pinyin is more popular these days, I've replaced most of the Wade-Giles transliterations to Pinyin.

New Leader: Qin Shi Huang Di (First Emperor of China- OK, so he's a psychotic who sent hundreds of thousands or perhaps millions to their deaths. At least he's more respectable than Mao! )

Great Leaders:
Liu Bang
Tai'tsung
Sun Tzu
Liu Bei
Zhang Fei
Guan Yu
Zhuge Liang
Cao Cao
Sun Quan
Yue Fei

City List:
Xi An (the FIRST capital of a unified China)
Anyang
Louyang
Kaifeng
Hangzhou
Nanjing (I normally put this in the south since "Nanjing" means "South Capital")
Guangzhou
Suzhou
Wuxi
Guilin
Shanghai
Chongqing
Datong
Wuhan
Zhengzhou
Langzhou
Beijing (Beijing wasn't the capital until the Yuan Dynasty)
Xiangfan
Ningbo
Shexian
Tianjin
Fuzhou
Lanzhou
Kunming
Changsha
Nanchang
Dalian

Shenyang
Taiyuan

About Chinese great leaders

Have you seen the movie Grouching tiger, hidden dragon? About the 'war-hero' Li Mu Bai: was he a historical character, or just a twist of imagination of the writer?

[Azeem]

I'm not sure if Li Mu Bai is a real figure or not, but he is a figure from a series of novel (one of them is "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon").

You didn't include Xi An (Xianyang). Xi An was the first capital of a unified China, so I think it makes sense that Xi An would be your first city.

Hubei and Gansu (which are on your list) are provinces.

If you go back further to the Shang Dynasty, I think (but I'm not entirely sure) Anyang that would be the capital.
