Stand in the desert. Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read,
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed,
And on the pedestal these words appear:
"My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings:
Look upon my works, ye Mighty, and despair!"
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.

Still, at least Timur left us Samarkand and Bokhara and the observatory of Ulugh Begh.

In civ3 I very rarely play with unique units. In my opinion the UU cotradict to the fundamental priciples of civ. There should be no UU in a game spanning 6k years.

they should have thought about that before they pissed the khan of khans off.  |
That was Genghis and the merchants/envoys/spies to the Khwarzm khanate. Timur was Turco-Mongol (or claimed to be) and was a Muslim.
And seemed keener on killing his fellow Muslims than did Genghis, who wasn't bothered what religion you were.
quote:
The murder of 450 Muslim merchants at a place called Otrar in the year 1218 changed the face of Central Asia, and indeed, of the world, for it triggered the most devastating invasion of steppe nomads in history. Among the merchants was an envoy of Genghis Khan, leader of the Mongol hordes. He punished this interference with free trade on the steppes by unleashing 200,000 men, first against Otrar, then against Samarkand. Soon all of Central Asia and Persia had felt the wrath of the Mongols: More than five million people were killed in these two areas alone. The cities of Bukhara, Samarkand, Tashkent, Balkh and Marv were sacked with terrible loss of life. |

Dis I am in favor of introducing a unit workshop as in SMAC, that would solve the too few units problem.

I think that with the powerfull scripting language that is going to be included it will be possible to create a unit workshop even though there is no such thing in the original game.

But I am a builder, so I tend to not use war other when I must.
Very fun, very irritating AI!
