    Well, I think that the Avars had a bigger impact on European customs and warfare than the Huns ever did, and they were more interesting, IMO. Or you could have the Kok (aka Gok, aka Blue) Turks.
    Probably, but how many does know about the Avars, or the Kok Turks? Huns are only known because of Attila.

    Civilization simply takes the most powerful and important civs throughout history and put them in one and the same game. It's the basic rule and then you have some other rules that make the picking of civ weird sometimes. Then you play them from 4000 BC until 2100 AD (with slower turns at time, 20 years/turn early on and 1 year/turn later on). And discovers fusion power at 1950 if you're fast in tech .
    The game is heavily abstracted from history, while still having a history base.
    We are all aware that the senses can be deceived, the eyes fooled. But how can we be sure our senses are not being deceived at any particular time, or even all the time? Might I just be a brain in a tank somewhere, tricked all my life into believing in the events of this world by some insane computer? And does my life gain or lose meaning based on my reaction to such solipsism?

    Anyone who has played any of the 'Civ' series knows that you can edit any of the factions and re-name the cities as well.....so I fail to see the problem

    Anyhow can't you still rename a Civilisation?
    see Pape has already pointed the way
    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    “Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it whether it exists or not, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedy.”

    To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise.
