Gurken Khan Posted August 26, 2021 Report Share Posted August 26, 2021 There are no plans to include new civs, like the Han? That would influence what I consider a sensible name, with the Han example whether to exclude or prefer Chinese terms... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plans yes, what will happen may vary, as they were supposed to be included in A24 (had to fix the innacuracies, didn't make it in time), A25 with the fixes didn't get there in time, so who knows 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He established the silk road and informed the other civs that there are civilisations further east than the Mauryans. Also we might as well add the Han to A26. I can patch it tomorrow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we can't include the Han for some reason, my vote is for this. It really closes the circle (pun intended). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gurken Khan Posted September 1, 2021 Report Share Posted September 1, 2021 I just gonna believe that @Yekaterina and the other devs will manage to include the Han. And Zhang Qian sounds like a good one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zombie ? the game is still not dead... Zorrino ? the cute and faithful little game... Zowie ? Z for Zendetta ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radiotraining Posted October 14, 2021 Report Share Posted October 14, 2021 Zarathustra is my personal favourite. It sounds epic and majestic Otherwise, if Chinese are approved, ZhongGuo? That's how the "central kingdom" of China is called Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
