  1. . . . Some da(m)n thing in the Balkans. . .
    Say that to Queen Teuta.

    A few more thoughts

    Icarus The son of Daedalus who ended up getting killed by not heeding the fact that wax melts with heat.

    Indibil Not too original, but he is an Iberian hero in 0 A.D. so I will not give much of a biography on him.

    Iris Greek messenger goddess who used the rainbow for travel.

  2. Iceni is a possibility. That was the tribe which brought up Boudicca.

    Illyria could work too. That is in modern Yugoslavia where there lived a people that emphasized on guerrilla warfare.

    Iphikrates was an important reformer, and was responsible for inventing Ekodromoi and heavy peltasts.

  3. I agree with Mythos' view on the matter. Typically, when you try to span ridiculous time lengths, you will merely find people complaining because A, there will be complaints from people who dislike the fact that they have never heard of the Hurrians nuking the Canadians while the latter civilization is stuck in the Iron Age, or B, this game was not able to frame the epic timespan of history, and has too few cultures. Age of Empires tried something like this, and it wasn't quite successful in my opinion. There were too few ages to cover about ten thousand years. Even then, it seems likely that all that will happen is the project will be aborted with as much work as would have to be done.

  4. Sciritae, who were just as epic as the Spartans due to the fact that they took the left flank of any battle line and during marches were always at the front. The First Minnesota also was an incredible unit that showed exceptional discipline under the most dangerous circumstances. The First Minnesota never retreated without orders, and when they did so, they were very orderly. They also unfailingly were put at the end of any army due to the fact that they were considered to be one of the best regiments in the Army of the Potomac.
