A few questions (five in total)

Clayton, I can attest to at least TWO historical figures being in RTW.

I was playing a slow game as the Egyptians, I was only trying to hold on to my local area, rather than expand a lot, to see just what Rome would eventually throw at me during the end game.

In the year 3 B.C. I noticed a general and some troops outside of Jerusalem. I clicked on him, and his name was Jesus!

That very same turn, I got a report of a "Plague" in Alexandria, and I lost half of my population in ONE YEAR! Then the plague was gone! I've never heard of a plague lasting only one year, have you?

Anyways, Jerusalem, which was my main army production city, immediately revolted. It took me about 2 years (4 turns) to take the city back, and when I did, I found that ALL troops cost twice the amount of denarii to recruit!

I sent a good general after Jesus, and we slaughtered them. They didn't even fight back. This must be some aspect of "turn the other cheek," because we ran them through like nobody's business. What's funny, is that on the next turn, the general and all of his troops were still there! It's like they came back from the dead.

After a few turns, in 7 A.D., I had Jerusalem surrounded by my troops, trying to quell the rebellions and trying to get the cost to recruit my troops down. This Jesus general walked out into the sea, went around my troops, and walked into Jerusalem. The city revolted again, and the city was under His conrol!

On the map I saw a Numidian assassin. I took a look at him and he was Jubal, 7 star assassin! I don't know what happened next, but this Jesus general disappeared off the map. I thought maybe this Assassin had killed him. I looked up the name in my Numidianese-English dictionary, and Jubal is Numidianese for Judas!

So, Clayton, if you're playing as Egyptian, there seems to be a special trigger that happens right around 3 B.C. or something. It might have to have some special conditions to trigger it, much like the Marius Reforms, but I can tell you that I've seen at least two historical figures in the game!

How that can be - thougth the game ends in 14 B.C.
