stefu: I'm still not sure. I could also think of an rifleman unit with an extra defence. AFAIK, the dutch were the first ones who mastered the drill.

Here are some changes I would like to see for the Dutch:

- Name of the Ruler should be the original name Willem van Oranje instead of the translated name 'Orange'

- Leaders: Piet Hein, Michiel de Ruyter, Maarten Tromp, Witte de With, Jan van Speyk (who were all famous admirals during the Golden Age of the Netherlands around 1600), Johan van Oldenbarnevelt (one of the great political leaders during the golden age)

- Government: I don't think Republic should be the favorable government, more likely either Monarchy (with King Willem van Oranje) or Democracy. Shunned government should probably be communism.

- Civilization abilities: Expansionist / Commercial.

- Unique Unit: I'm not sure either, during the golden age the Dutch were famous for their warfare at sea and trading all over the world with the great ships from famous compagnies like the VOC.
So I vote for VOC Ship as replacement of the Galleon, attack 1, defense 3, movement 5, carry 5 units. (Galleon has 1,2,4,4 respectively)

- Cities: the list looks rather complete, I would change The Hague to Den Haag and Hertogenbosch to Den Bosch.

Furthermore, thank you all for all the great work done already.

Remy.

Correction on Hebrews city names: there is no Ramat, and no Gan, there's Ramat-Gan

And I still think UU should be a 3.2.1 settler.

Gholam: I knew that ; And I don't think an armored settler would be good. Settlers should be always object of possible capture. With an armored settler, the Hebrews would expand way to easily and too fast (Well, in your history you did expand fast, but mostly not willingly [sorry!! ])

Remy: I'll keep english names, sorry. We've done this with all civs because we use it as lingua franca. Believe me, if it were for me, we'd have Lisboa, Den Haag, Athinai etc. etc.
I changed the gov. preferences and UU

Let's see, the Portuguese were a seafaring civ during their golden age. But based on exploration. How about a nao? They were improved caravels, maybe give them extra movement to represent the explorational abilities of the portuguese.

A few points:

I would replace 'The Hague' with Den Haag, regardless of consistency, just to create the right atmosphere. The Hague sounds far too english, Hertogenbosch at least sounds dutch.

The Portugeuse Leader is generally called 'Henry the Navigator' not 'Henry the Seafarer'.

I'll change "the Seafarer" to "the Navigator", it was due to analogy thinking from german ("der Seefahrer")

El awrence: Great idea, I'll add the Nao

No, not woad warrior. Really, too cheesey.

The chariot:

www.llyn-cerrig-bach.co.uk/chariot.htm

'From the second half of the 3 century B.C. to the 1 century B.C. a high quality Celtic glass industry emerged - this producing the best quality products of its time. Celtic military tactics also evolved. From the middle of the third century B.C. the chariot was of decreasing importance being gradually displaced by cavalry. This required a fundamental change in the method of warfare. One consequence was an increase in the length of the sword - this being extended from around 600 -700 mm in 250 A.D. to 800 - 900 mm by around 200 A.D. '

and :

www.meridies.org/as/dmir/Equestrian/1004.html

www.unc.edu/~bottaro/intropage.html

www.gallica.co.uk/celts/garton.htm

Shunned government? Could only be communism, given the individualism inherent in Celtic cultures.....

molly: I don't even have a clue, what a woad warrior is... I got this from locutus' homepage!
I don't think however we should make the chariot the celtic UU, it was a commonly used tool from china to the atlantic shores and only assyrian and egyptian chariots got some fame. Maybe a rider unit could do. The romans formed their cavalry from 140BC onwards with celtic riders (until they got better germanic riders )

Didn't mean to imply woad warrior was yr. invention- apologies.

As for the unique unit- well, both the Chinese and the Iroquois (anachronistically) have mounted units, so if the Egyptians and the Celts both have chariots, I can't see there being a great difference in that. For me, the defining weapon of war for the Celts is the war chariot, and it is of great significance in the burial sites of the Iron Age Celtic aristocracy, and in terms of Celtic artistic expression and craftwork.

'Wilkens continue: In the meantime, I have sometimes had to work back from elements known about the Celts in the Roman era'. In part III in his book, he returns to Galatea, who turns out to be a major key for the research as she will be proof that the Celts were already around in the Bronze Age - much earlier than assumed hitherto. The dynamic and inventive Celtic culture brought a certain civilization to Europe before the Greeks and the Romans. They were the first to construct harvesting implements and war chariots. They invented tools still used today, such as pincers; they had keys; they forged iron rims for their chariot wheels; they produced coats of mail. They shod their horses. These shoes, at first in bronze, were not nailed, but had rings round the edge through which a thong was passed to tie them in place. This explains the use of such expressions as horses 'with flashing feet' or 'single-hooved horses' in Homer.'

celt.net/Celtic/celtopedia/c.html

So as you can see, for me the element that best describes early Celtic success and expansion is the war chariot. With a female warrior or driver, and a spear thrower, and dependent on iron and horses, it should be distinctive enough?

Thank you Eli! I'll fix the list.

I pretty sure that Ezion-Geber should have meant Zion Mountain.
So Geber is not the Hebrew pendant to arabic "Gebr"?

On the Portuguese King, can it be João II (or John II)?
Portugal had 6 Kings named João, so keeping just that name may be confusing.

As for the Nau (it is the current Portuguese name, although in Ancient Portuguese it was, I believe, as El Aurence wrote) I think it should be a Caravel with one addicional move per turn.

On shunned government we didn't have many opinions in the Portuguese Civ thread but two of us think Communism is more correct.

In my opinion we can actually testify it in our history: although the resistance against the dictactorial Regime between 1926 and 1974 was mostly protagonized by the Communist Party, when they tried to implant a communist Regime in 1974-75 the people and the army prevented it to happen. These are just my thoughts, though. I don't know if the other Portuguese would agree with this reasoning.

Yes, it shall be John II, but numbers have been left out in the original civs too. It's not Elisabeth I of England, but only Elisabeth, Cleopatra VII is just Cleopatra, Montezuma II is only Montezuma, so...

Eli/Gholam: I'll fix the city list; Rehovot seems to be big enough to add it anyway...

One of those interesting occasions when oral history is 'proved' correct:

www.biblemysteries.com/library/dna

www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/israel/familylemba.html

www.dangoor.com/72page25.html

Similarly, Irish legends/myths containing accounts of ancient roads were dismissed until evidence of ancient road systems were found well-preserved in the bogs which they crossed:

Concerning the Dutch, Hoogeveen isn't a good city to include, since it is historically totally unimportant. Till WO2, it was nothing but a village. I think it should be replaced with Meppel, which is much older, and always was the centre of trade and culture in this region. It was flourishing during the time of the peat industry.

I think that a good city name to be added to the Dutch City List is New Amesterdam, because it's the colonial name of today New York!

The Dutch founded New Amesterdam which was lately captured by the english, who changed it's name to New York!

I decided not to include New Amsterdam because, as you might know, after having used all city names, new cities automatically get the same names just having a "New" in front of them.

For the UU of the Hebrews, I suggest a 3-3-1 replacement for the pikeman. It would reflect the ability to fight back once attacked. I would have recommended a 2.3.1, but I think that one extra attack would be useless against knights with a defense of 3. The name should also be the Macabee. Or you could leave the UU at 1.3.1, and have it treat all terrain as roads, as the Macabee's were guerilla warriors for the most part (Appropriate time of year to have this discussion). I ask for the other MOTs to give their thoughts on these suggestions.

Hmmm...sorry! Actually i didn't know that! I haven't made that many cities yet, because i only have played in tiny maps and i just make a few cities and then capture all the others!

Wernazuma III: Could you react to my previous post about Hoogeveen/Meppel please? Who should I ask to change the list?

Further, I think the title of the Dutch leader should be 'stadtholder', not 'king'.
