Korea purple is fine by me.
What about our civ? We need a leader, civ name, and title.
Leader:
Formal:
Noun:
Adjective:
Title:
I'd like it to have something to do with the site. Then we need a list of possible city names.
Capital name? How about Apolyton?

Purple is fine with me
as for the other, here is one suggestion:
Leader: Marduk - Sumerian/Babylonian/Egyptian god
Formal: Elohim - gods of above who had come down and created man
Noun: Elohim - same
Adjective: not sure what for here
Title: Great One
Sumarian mythos has a LOT of stuff that leads to an 'interpritation' that earth was visited & rule by 'gods' from above. They had come from the 12th Planet, called Nibiru. They had acurate disciptions of Uranus & Nepture, which we only learned with the Voyager Probes (waterlike worlds, blue-green). Their Cosmology dealt with a catasrophic episode (i.e. collision) between Nibiru (or sometimes called Marduk) and another proto-planet (where the asteroids currently are) and resulted in Earth being expelled with the Moon changing orbit from there to here. Nibiru is in something like a 3600 year retro orbit that swings between the asteroid belt area and far out in space.
They first visited Earth to get Gold (somethng they needed lots of) and created man to help with the mining efforts. They gave man some knowledge of the Solar system and it's past. The Sumarians knew of the fact that the Earth precesses (wobbling like a top - North star moves - Zodiacs change - not possible to figure out without thousands of years of observations OR 'modern' astronomy techneics).
Marduk was a son of one of the first Anu to reach Earth. He had caused wars. According to Myth, was imprisoned in the great Pyramid for some time. Was ultimately released and suscessful in his ambitions, but causing a prehistoric Nuclear War. Historical/Biblical figures during that time include Abraham, Lot, Gilgamesh and a few others. Noah was before their time, but was given warning of the impending Deluge by Marduk's father (IIRC - or Uncle).
Most of the Babylonian Mythos derived frum Sumar. Sumar was mostly laid to waste from Fallout from the Nukes that were used on the spaceport that they had at the time. Babylon took over due to this.
A lot more covered inthe works of Sitchein. Enough things to make me think that it 'might' have beentrue, as far as history allows usto weven know over these kind of temporal distances....

Leader name of Markos. Leader image should be of Queen Elizabeth of England.
Capital should still be Apolyton. After all our civ is not Sumeria, but Apolyton. Sumeria is just the base. |
I was just about to say this. We aren't playing as Sumeria. We are playing as the site of Apolyton, and as such, should have Apolytonish names. I couldn't stand the CFC MSDG names but loved our ISDG names. The former was all Chinese and the latter was CFCish.
