I think the boar was really Gaul emblem.
Even though it is late, I want to say that Capitolium Hill was a good wonder, if you had geese. I mean, the geese warned the Romans against celtic aggression, so that Geese of the Capitol could be a pretty obsolete Great Wall wonder. Of course, geese as a WoW don't sound that wonderful...

IMHO that would make a good wonder, especially a pic w/ geese.

I clamor for this scenario!

Heeey, I leave for a paltry few weeks and a Roman scenario suddenly pops up to compete with mine. I should stay online all the time and stamp out threads like this before they can grow...

But seriously, looks fantastic Tecumseh Can't wait to play it.

The funny thing is that in surviving contemporary art she is depicted with a rather big nose
I 'll post a picture of her nose here, if I can find it on the web. Otherwise I 'll try to scan the one I have, though I doubt her nose will fit the scanner

I guess the nose came with that supposed nubian great great grandmother noone has written about , or heard about till the 1970's (so the grandma must have been black, right? )
African pride ok (Kush, Nubia, Aksum, Mali, Shonghai...) Afro-nubian b***t no way.

Philosopher Blaise Pascal made the famous remark that "Cleopatra's nose, had it been shorter, the whole face of the world would have been changed."
An article and a book on Cleopatra's nose at:
http://ancienthistory.about.com/libr.../aa090401a.htm
(A book on her nose!)
Another article on her nose and lineage at:
http://www.straightdope.com/mailbag/mcleopatra.html
A Christian/ quasi-feminist view of her nose at:
http://www.csmonitor.com/2002/0125/p13s02-alar.html
A site full of ancient artifacts depicting her nose:
http://www.artic.edu/webspaces/fnews...features1.html
A girlish forum where ladies get informed about her nose
http://pub90.ezboard.com/fpinwheelsa...opicID=5.topic
I found 336 results about her prominent/ long/ hooked/ strong/ aquiline/ stocky nose in Yahoo! alone.
In Civ2 terms, her nose could be depicted either as:
a) A tireme ram, to crush the Roman navy at Actium (sea/ naval superiority/ smell 2/ smell submarines) It would be usefull as a hound err... scout unit too.
b) A grappling hook, to board Roman battleships (marine flag). No wonder everyone was attracted to her!
or
c) The ultimate biochemical superweapon (missle, nuclear, destroy after sneezing). Oh no! Mr Bin might get an idea out of this!
She kinda resembles an ex-girlfried. You get the picture

Yes, thanks. I've been making a few and converting the ones you've made into multi-figure format. Here's a sampler: Armenian infantry, Cleopatra, patricians, Parthian general, Judean cavalry, slaves, Cisalpine (Caesar's) legion, Parthian horsearcher.

Tanelorn: please don't destroy my image of Cleo!

It does seem to have some sort of limited duration license and costs $10 for a fully-functional or unlimited-duration (?) version, I guess.
Quite honestly though you could probably get a better deal on E-bay or somesuch - which would include the paper manual.

Here's a few screen shots. I'd like to start a multiplayer test game, probably starting towards the end of next week. If you would like to help, and have or are willing to get Test of Time, please sign on here. All civs are playable. They are: Roman Senate, Spanish Legions, Cisalpine Legions, Syrian Legions, Gauls, Parthians, and Egyptians.

Here Julius Caesar begins the conquest of the Gauls.

Here a naval battle takes place between Caesar and Pompey. I'm trying a new event, where every March turn, Navigation is given to all civs and every November it is taken away again. This is to simulate the winter storms that made sailing more dangerous.
