inconsistent civilization naming!

Got spare money?

When I was looking at the PtW screen shots, I noticed that adjectives are being used for the new civs instead of the country names that are mostly used for the present civs. Example: Arabs instead of Arabia, Spanish instead of Spain. I wonder why that is, since Rome, Germany, England, France, etc. are all in the game.

These are probably fixed in the final version IMO.
Those screenshots are from some while ago

Let's hope so. Those gus at Firaxis MUST have noticed it themselves... Not a really big deal though.

Thread closed! (Not really, but as far as I am concerned)

That assumes they leave in the ability to change Civ names. With firaxis you never know. I would like to see a return to the 'self-contained' scenario system from Civ II. All this file swapping is gonna lead to tears.

Oh what, so he can't say something that he finds could make the game better?

His concerns are just as important

Tired of ads?

Yeah, that's bothered me as well. Hopefully it will be changed.

Iroquois and Aztecs don't settle well with me, either. I would much prefer "Iroquois League" and "the Aztec Empire" to be the official default names.

Spain, Korea, Carthage, Arabia, the Ottoman Empire, Celtic Kingdoms, Golden Horde, and the like would suit me fine.
