Yeah, it's possible that German borrowed Isabella from Italian and Elisabeth from English. But I do not know, it's just a speculation.

my brother in law's name is manuel, it's not too rare too in germanOriginally posted by Waku
I even met a german guy whose name was Manuel,
I was so surprised that I had to ask him about it (that's my name too), he said he had not spanish blood, it was just that his parents liked that name

As far as I know English is also strongly influenced by French and Latin and this german-roman-ic mixture is in fact what makes it unique (Am I right?)Originally posted by Chris Wilkinson

Linguistically, you are correct. It's what makes English so learnable by speakers of Germanic and Romance languages, while at the same time making it so confusing. That said, the 200 or so most commonly used words in English are purely of english origin. The rest just adds color...Originally posted by Waku

Blood ties are germanic, germanic, germanic, and a splash of the original inhabitants. You could divvy them into the Norse, Danes, Saxons, Angles, Normans, and so forth, but these are all germanic peoples. Altho the Normans may have been a mix of Frankish and Celtic, I really am not sure.The first President of the first Apolyton Democracy Game (CivII, that is)

A lot of people seem to think that we have a lot of links with France (ie the Normans), but they were Viking - historically we have surprisingly few links with France.Blood ties are germanic, germanic, germanic, and a splash of the original inhabitants.

Yes, but that´s the kind of representative units Civ 3 have (Samurais wasn´t also organized units). And if the Golde Age has to start when your special unit wins its 1st combat, Conquistadores is quite representative. The idea of "x2 bonus vs. Ancient Age units", if could be used (in Civ2 couldn´t), to customize an unit, is quite good to represent the unit´s advantages. The units should have big movement and exploration capabilities, as its represents few men who conquered huge empires helped by their diplomacy capabilities (at least in Cortes case).Originally posted by Fiera
(I think Conquistadores were Great Leaders rather than a military unit).
El Cid, even being an historic caracter, operates much more as a myth, as it was one of the 1st and best know wrote story in spanish.Comment

Solo por incordiar....
La primera infanterÃa de marina fueespañoa, en 1537 Carlos I dejó como fuerza de desembarco asignado a los barcos los primeros tercios.O sea mas de 450 años.
Esa fuerza no era moco de pavo, en la lucha por las Azores, contra franceses e ingleses que apoyaban el prior que querÃa ser rey de Portugal, en la isla Terceira organizaron e hicieron un desembarco que creó historia.
Asà que si don Alfonso incluye esa unidad... claro salvo que solo se pueda añadir una... es que el civ3 es "virgen" para mÃ.
Eso potenciarÃa mas nuestra imagen...
Claro que si estuvieramos hablamdo en español solo, en esta carpeta, mejor... perdón si molesto.El pesimista tiene razón, el optimista es felizComment
