I am psyched about 6 new civilizations to play as and 10 new leaders to choose from, but it is a little disappointing that they are adding third leaders for both England and Russia when there will most likely be some civs still stuck with only 1 leader.
Also, I wonder if the 2 new leader traits will be confined to the new leaders or if some of the existing leaders will be changed?

Funny, my wife and I where just talking about this and trying to figure out who the Canadian Great Leaders would be and what would be the Canadian UU. Canada's history is not full of war and would be difficult to pick for this particular game. Maybe we could have Lester B. Pearson as the Great Leader and his traits would be hmmmmmmmmmm.......... Diplomacy and .................... Agriculture. The UU could be the Avro Arrow, but you only get to keep it for 3 turns as then it would have to be scrapped as it is too powerful for the rest of the nations. Some Canadian Humor lol, DustyDragoon Maybe they could have Celine Dion as there UU?

I was thinking more that they could have CS as their UU, but that would throw the balance way off.

Shame on you DD, take a trip to the library or do a google search for "Canada's war history" and edcuate yourself on your countires real history not the liberal propaganda that has obviously deceived you.

No offence intended DD, however Canada's military history does predate confederation, starting with the French-Indian wars in the 1750's, then the American Revolution, War of 1812, Rebellion of 1837, US Civil War, Fenian Raids, Red River Rebellion, Boer War, WW1, Siberian Expeditionary Force, Spanish Civil War, WW2, Korea, Gulf War, Afghanistan and ofcourse many of our favourite "peace keeping" missions. And although it's difficult to determine estimates are that upto 50K Canadians when to Vietnam as well. We may not have the centuries of history that "old world" countries do, but I think we compare favourably to our nieghbours to the south. And in fact contributed sooner and to a greater percentage of our population to both WW's.

Trust me CS I know my Canadian History very well. What I am getting at is that compared to the rest of the world, especially the "Old World", Canada is a child when it comes to the battles we have been in. I'm in no way stating that Canada's contribution the both WW's, the Korean War, and it's Peace Keeping missions in the past 50 odd years don't mean much. Just that compared to others we have had no where near as long a history in war as other nations. Don't forget oh proud Canadian Soldier, we are but 137years young compared to say Britain or India where there history goes back almost 10 times that. Without even getting a Canada war history book out I can think of at least at least 7 "wars" that Canada fought in. Compare this to even the United States, it aint much and we are pretty quiet comparitivly. I also served 8 years in the Canadian Airborne Regiment HQ and Sigs. and I am well aware of our envolvement over seas and in peace keeping. I know what our liberal government has done to our forces and so to state I actually listen to any of the crap they spew forth is an insult to me. Just so's u know Dusty Dragoon hehe our history actually goes back to about 20,000 BC further if you know about the land bridge that existed as the Ice sheet started to recede post ice age. Of course war is a consequence of civilization, without agriculture(and adequate food storage: granaries etc) laws and culture: the 3 pillars of civilization, organisation for large scale warfare is non existant. Anyway, back then you could walk from France to England and it's likely our originators colonised the new lands post ice age,The Celts that lead to the tribes of pre Roman England were much different from the Gauls that lived in France, although some cross influence was inevitable, it's odd to think of it this way but our founding fathers if you like were kind of French(Celtic tribes originating from the Eastern alps of France) recorded history comes in about 55 BC when Julius Cesar tried to invade unsuccessfully, kind of a reconnaissance mission, but you can't blame the Celts because they had no written language, or the Saxons for the same reason. The Romans imposed literacy on us but was restricted mostly to nobility and the Church, Normans imposed another literacy on our language that lead from old English to middle English, but we kicked out their nobility somewhat after the civil war. Bloody viking hordes Sorry just a slight correction there, experience in war does not make you any less reasoned than any other country, just more likely to consider the implications, if you like more wise. I believe the fourth pillar is opiates for the masses, religion, but that's probably controversial, the unifying message of religion is a law unto itself though so you can probably group that in with code of laws, even before such laws existed, the druids were the conscience of the Kings of England long before the Norman Monarchy and long after, Henry V was riled to war in France by the Church, not exaclty in their remit you would think, but that damn diplomatic ignorance that was Salac law could not bar England from it's rightful claim to France. It took a woman to make that claim redundant and a war that lasted well over the 100 years of it's name.
