Canada with John A. Macdonald. Tokugawa Ieyasu with Japan. Germany with Frederick. Charlemagne and HRE. Fidel Castro and Cuba. France under the Sun King. Ivan the Terrible for Russia. Constantine for Byzantines.

Perhaps the Hittites or Sumerians as well. Maybe split up the Greek city states into one-city challenge oriented civs sort of like Venice. Or maybe make a Indonesia-like Empire Unique for Greece that makes each city uniquely different in some way. E.g. Athens gets research boost, Sparta can make the unique Spartan unit, Macedonia can make the Companion Cavalry, gain Pyrrhus with Epirus.

Canada has plenty of culture. It could easily represent a 'starter' nation since our history is pocked with various highs that would work well for a tutorial. Starting tutorial would start with colonizing Canada, then expand into early diplomacy with natives. Then fast forward to WW1 with a combat tutorial. Then fast forward to the PLQ to solve internal strife and happiness.

Fuck those scrubs, Ivan the Terrible lost everything when he literally gone mad after his wife's death (Oprichnina was a mistake), Peter the Great didn't manage to make a single decent offspring which made rest of the century convoluted mess of elites bickering for power and majority of you would be first to shit on Stalin.

Gimme this fucking guy. Actually Slav, united the territories that formed the government *cough* Rurik *cough*, kicked Constantinople's ass twice, basically made Russia what it was for centuries before inner bickering among knyazes ruined everything.

Lenin would be fine too.

Not really, though? Name some examples of countries that have stood the test of time. Most European countries only exist in their current state for less than 200 years, countries like France, Germany, Russia, Spain and Belgium were vastly different or didn't even exist. Meanwhile there are ancient African nations that existed far longer than that, until Europe's invasion of Africa, and most Asian countries are quite damn old as well.

Europe isn't leagues above the rest of the word but they are the cultural cauldron of great civilizations so it's easiest to talk about them.

The criteria should be simple, how old is the civilization, and I'm talking about the people who lived on those areas before, they are as much a part of the same civilization as it's inheritors. Another criteria would be their influence on the world, be it cultural, scientific, religious or warfare, these things govern how countries interact with one another and contribute to how the civilizations have managed to stand the test of time.

And finally, the last criteria being, are they a first world country, if they aren't then their people got fucked over by history, by not playing their cards right, and are now the losers. If a country has stood the test of time then it is on top with a decent economy, military and social structure.

>people wanting hitler

here's a hint: only successful leaders (and Bouddica somehow) get in, Hitler was a complete and utter failure in every way
his actions, in the end, resulted in his people dying by the millions, his cities bombed to cinders, his very nation dissolved into two puppet states, his culture being demonized and the permanent loss of some of its most historic and ancient territory to the very people he invaded

hitler for germany would be as idiotic as calligula for rome

I really want to see them returning to the "multiple leaders for each nation" thing that some of the older Civ games had. Like for France, having both Napoleon and Louis XIV just makes a lot of sense as they were both hugely influential throughout history.

I'm going to assume you want to seriously discuss history and not just /pol/ meme, so i'll respond.

>The criteria should be simple, how old is the civilization, and I'm talking about the people who lived on those areas before, they are as much a part of the same civilization as it's inheritors.

This doesn't work as a criterium, Ethiopia automatically wins for being the oldest known inhabited place and most areas of the world have been continuously inhabited.

>Another criteria would be their influence on the world, be it cultural, scientific, religious or warfare, these things govern how countries interact with one another and contribute to how the civilizations have managed to stand the test of time.

This is, again, really fucking broad and applies to a lot of countries. The scope of history is big enough that most countries will have influenced the world in some parts, even underdeveloped regions like sub-Saharan Africa have contributed culturually and religiously.

>And finally, the last criteria being, are they a first world country, if they aren't then their people got fucked over by history, by not playing their cards right, and are now the losers. If a country has stood the test of time then it is on top with a decent economy, military and social structure.

I feel you're oversimplifying the issue, you're assuming every country has equal starting conditions. Let's leave race out of this because that's a whole other anthropological mess i don't want to get into in this thread, but a lot of civilizations definitely got shafted by nature, mostly those in sub-Saharan Africa.

Realism isn't the word the previous poster should've used, but I know what he means. There needs to be a infusion of new blood into the leadership from time to time. It makes the game more dynamic - by Civ rules, Germany and Japan should both still want to royally fuck up the US, and for Germany all of its neighbors.

The argument was who stood the test of time, the criteria I explained fully documents those that did, what you're saying is that because the civ was added to the game, then they stood the time too.

I mean, it was published on May 29th so they could have just been cute with it, but it sounds like the Ottomans are back, likely under Mehmed II again.

This comes after an earlier tweet that was relevant to modern news about the Constantine-era Roman shipwreck found. I don't know if that would be meant as a hint about Byzantium, especially taken in conjunction with this one.

Hitler changed history forever and made Fascism which is 1/3 of the BNW late game relevant. Whether you agree or disagree with him politically, historically he was as significant as Napoleon.

You should probably check out that treaty of Versailles senpai. Poland was given a huge chunk of Prussia. Like the US would tolerate Canada being given Nevada Colorado Wyoming and Oregon.

Britian and the US knew when they signed it that it was shit and way to harsh on Germany to last. Wilson got a headache and went home instead of fighting against it.

Hitler's economy was A- to A. If he had died/ abdicated in 1938 after the Anschlauss he would have been considered one of the greatest leaders of all time.

You shouldn't let the holocaust cloud your judgement of historical facts. The Hitler economy was copied by Eisenhower and FDR because it worked.

>If he had died/ abdicated in 1938 after the Anschlauss he would have been considered one of the greatest leaders of all time.

I've heard this excuse before, but he didn't, which is the big problem. There's plenty of leaders who would've been good leaders had they not fucked up in a horrible way somewhere along the line.

More like if a great leader enters an unwinnable scenerio then he is actually shit.

The thing is Clauswitz and others recognize Napoleons greatness and lack of mistakes during the 1812 Russian campaign and nobody gives him shit for being a bad leader because he ended up losing.

Hitler will eventually look like this once the political furor dies down and people can look at it objectively and historically.

This is different IMO than someone like Hoover who was seen as leading the country into the ground.

No but the National Socialist system was designed to put the most competent people in positions where their talents could be put to use unhindered by lesser minds. This is in Mein Kampf and surprise surprise at Nuremberg the surviving nazi leadership all had surprisingly high IQs.

>put the most competent people in positions where their talents could be put to use
wow what an incredible idea that no one had every thought of before!

Regardless, Hitler didn't even follow that himself. Just look at his insistence in governing military action, despite being absolutely incompetent at it.

Hitler actually rarely intervened in military matters.This meme comes from the fact that Manstein and other Wermacht leaders were removed from command near the end of hte war and thus survived it while Hitler and other leadership suicide/executed/died fighting.

Manstein for example believed he could have won the Battle of Kursk had he been allowed to fight af ew more days. However, during the battle the Allies landed in Italy and Hitler called off the attack in order to send troops to italy.

This caused Mannstein after the war to criticize Hitler saying 'if he had listened to us he would have won'. Nobody really was around to defend Hitler and Mannstein is regarded as genius so the meme became reality.

Is moving troops to Italy to defend your southern frontier a retarded mistake? Or should you gamble them in a major offensive that you happen to be losing in hopes of a victory?

It may have been the wrong choice but I don't think it was illogical desu.
>>
>>339602035
It seems like common sense but political affairs in Germany had been based on seniority/internal politics/nepotism rather than competency. Kind of like how Obama appoints his biggest doners to ambassador positions.Or how Mitch McConnel and Harry Reid are Senate leaders because they are the oldest.

>>339600242
It's a treaty you retard. The treaty sealed the war. If you break such a treaty expect a war. And Hitler did expect a war, since he armed himself as fuck. And as a result of his piss poor decision Germany lost even more lives, even more land and was returned to a shit broken state.
>>
>>339595424
Reminder that the Romans never saluted in this way.
>>
Then it was that Adolf Hitler for the first time made his appeal to the common sense of the other powers. On May 17, 1933, a few months after his appointment to the office of Reichskanzler, he delivered a speech in the German Reichstag, from which we extract the following passages:

"Germany will be perfectly ready to disband her entire military establishment and destroy the small amount of arms remaining to her, if the neighboring countries will do the same thing with equal thoroughness.
... Germany is entirely ready to renounce aggressive weapons of every sort if the armed nations, on their part, will destroy their aggressive weapons within a specified period, and if their use is forbidden by an international convention.

... Germany is at all times prepared to renounce offensive weapons if the rest of the world does the same. Germany is prepared to agree to any solemn pact of non-aggression because she does not think of attacking anybody but only of acquiring security."
>>
>>339602838
December 18, 1933, he came forward with a new proposal for the improvement of international relations. This proposal included the following six points:
"1. Germany receives full equality of rights.
2. The fully armed States undertake amongst themselves not to increase their armaments beyond their present level.

3. Germany adheres to this agreement, freely undertaking to make only so much actual moderate use of the equality of rights granted to her as will not represent a threat to the security of any other European power.

[3] 4. All States recognize certain obligations in regard to conducting war on humane principles, or to the elimination of certain weapons for use against the civilian population.

5. All States accept a uniform general control which will watch over and ensure the observance of these obligations.

6. The European nations guarantee one another the unconditional maintenance of peace by the conclusion of non-aggression pacts, to be renewed after ten years."

The defender of the principle of peaceable agreement was thus trying to accommodate himself to the unwillingness of the others to disarm by expressing a desire for a limited increase of armaments for his own country. An exchange of notes, starting from this and continuing for years, finally came to a sudden end with an unequivocal "no" from France. This "no" was moreover accompanied by tremendous increases in the armed forces of France, Britain and Russia.
>>
>>339602838

May 21, 1935, he declared:
The German Government is ready to agree to any limitation which leads to abolition of the heaviest arms, especially suited for aggression. Such are, first, the heaviest artillery, and, secondly, the heaviest tanks. In view of the enormous fortifications on the French frontier such international abolition of the heaviest weapons of attack would ipso facto give France 100 per cent security.

Germany declares herself ready to agree to any limitation whatsoever of the calibre-strength of artillery, battleships, cruisers and torpedo boats. In like manner the German Government is ready to accept any international limitation of the size of warships. And finally it is ready to agree to limitation of tonnage for submarines, or to their complete abolition in case of international agreement.

[5] And it gives the further assurance that it will agree to any international limitation or abolition of arms whatsoever for a uniform space of time."

This time again Hitler's declarations did not find the slightest response. On the contrary, France made an alliance with Russia in order to increase her preponderating influence on the Continent still further, and to augment to a gigantic degree the pressure on Germany from the East.
>>
>>339602838
On March 31, 1936, he formulated the following peace plan:
"1. In order to give to future agreements securing the peace of Europe the character of inviolable treaties, those nations participating in the negotiations do so only on an entirely equal footing and as equally esteemed members. The sole compelling reason for signing these treaties can only lie in the generally recognized and obvious practicability of these agreements for the peace of Europe, and thus for the social happiness and economic prosperity of the nations.
2. In order to shorten in the economic interest of the European nations the period of uncertainty, the German Government proposes a limit of four months for the first period up to the signing of the pacts of non-aggression guaranteeing the peace of Europe.

3. The German Government gives the assurance not to add any reinforcements whatsoever to the troops in the Rhineland during this period, always provided that the Belgian and French Governments act in the same way.

4. The German Government gives the assurance not to move during this period closer to the Belgian and French frontiers the troops at present stationed in the Rhineland.

5. The German Government proposes the setting up of a commission composed of the two guarantor Powers, Britain and Italy, and a disinterested third neutral power, to guarantee this assurance to be given by both parties.
>>
>>339605041

6. Germany, Belgium and France are each entitled to send a representative to this Commission. If Germany, France or Belgium think that for any particular reason they can point to a change in the military situation having taken place within this period of four months, they have the right to inform the Guarantee Commission of their observations.

7. Germany, Belgium and France declare their willingness in such a case to permit this Commission to make the necessary investigations through the British and Italian military attaches, and to report thereon to the Powers participating.

8. Germany, Belgium and France give the assurance that they will bestow the fullest consideration to the objections arising therefrom.

9. Moreover the German Government is willing on a basis of complete reciprocity with Germany's two western neighbors to agree to any military limitations on the German western frontier.

10. Germany, Belgium and France and the two guarantor Powers agree to enter into negotiations under the leadership of the British Government at once or, at the latest, after the French elections, for the conclusion of a 25-years non-aggression or security pact between France and Belgium on the one hand, and Germany on the other.

11. Germany agrees that Britain and Italy shall sign this security pact as guarantor Powers once more.

12. Should special engagements to render military assistance arise as a result of these security agreements, Germany on her part declares her willingness to enter into such engagements.

13. The German Government hereby repeats its proposal for the conclusion of an air-pact to supplement and consolidate these security agreements.

14. The German Government repeats that should the Netherlands so desire it is willing to include that country too in this West-European security agreement.
>>
>>339605125
>>339605125
In order to stamp this peace-pact, voluntarily entered into between Germany and France, as the reconciliatory conclusion of a centuries-old dispute, Germany and France pledge themselves to take steps to see that in the education of the young, as well as in the press and publications of both nations, everything shall be avoided which might be calculated to poison the relationship between the two [7] peoples, whether it be a derogatory or contemptuous attitude, or improper interference in the internal affairs of the other country. They agree to set up at the headquarters of the League of Nations at Geneva, a joint commission whose function it shall be to lay all complaints received before the two Governments for information and investigation.

16. In pursuance of their intention to give this agreement the character of a sacred pledge, Germany and France undertake to ratify it by means of a plebiscite of the two nations.

17. Germany expresses her willingness, on her part, to establish contact with the states on her south-eastern and north-eastern frontiers, in order to invite them directly to conclude the pacts of non-aggression already proposed.

18. Germany expresses her willingness to re-enter the League of Nations, either at once, or after the conclusion of these agreements. At the same time, the German Government again expresses as its expectation that, after a reasonable time and by the method of friendly negotiations, the question of colonial equality of rights and that of the separation of the Covenant of the League of Nations from its foundations in the Versailles Treaty will be cleared up.
>>
>>339605216

>>339605216
19. Germany proposes the setting up of an International Court of Arbitration, which shall be responsible for the observance of the various agreements concluded, and whose decisions shall be binding on all parties.

After the conclusion of this great work of securing European peace, the German Government considers it urgently necessary to endeavor by practical measures to put a stop to the unlimited competition in armaments. In her opinion this would mean not merely an improvement in the financial and economic position of the nations, but above all a diminution of the psychological tension.
>>
>>339601764
Wasn't it Himmler and Goebbels who came up with it, asked Hitler if the idea was cool in an unofficial capacity, then sent a vaguely-worded request (something like 'plan for the removal of Jews from German territories, sign yes plz)' to Goering for approval/funding/whatever who then went 'lol okay' and signed it?
>>
>>339605297
1. Prohibition of dropping gas, poison, or incendiary bombs.

2. Prohibition of dropping bombs of any kind whatsoever on open towns and villages outside the range of the medium-heavy artillery of the fighting fronts.

3. Prohibition of the bombarding with long-range guns of towns more than 20 km. distant from the battle zone.

4. Abolition and prohibition of the construction of tanks of the heaviest type.

5. Abolition and prohibition of artillery of the heaviest calibre.

As soon as possibilities for further limitation of armaments emerge from such discussions and agreements, they should be utilized.

The German Government hereby declares itself prepared to join in every such settlement, in so far as it is valid internationally.
>>
>>339605373
The German Government believes that with the peace plan proposed above it has made its contribution to the reconstruction of a new Europe on the basis of reciprocal respect and confidence between sovereign states. Many opportunities for such a pacification of Europe, for which Germany has so often in the last few years made her proposals, have been neglected. May this attempt to achieve European understanding succeed at last!

The German Government confidently believes that it has opened the way in this direction by submitting the above peace plan."

Anyone who today reads this comprehensive peace plan will realize in what direction the development of Europe, according to the wishes of Adolf Hitler, should really have proceeded. Here was the possibility of truly constructive work, this could have been a real turning-point for the welfare of all nations. But once more he who alone called for peace was not heard. Only Britain replied with a rather scornful questionnaire which avoided any serious consideration of the essential points involved.
>>
>>339602838
Just at this time Adolf Hitler was occupied with the task of finally eliminating sources of friction with Poland. For this purpose he had made an uncommonly generous proposal by which the purely German Free City of Danzig would return to the Reich, and a narrow passage through the Polish Corridor, which since 1919 had torn asunder the north-eastern part of Germany to an unbearable extent, would provide communication with the separated area. This proposal, which moreover afforded Poland the prospect of a 25-year non-aggression pact and other advantages, was nevertheless rejected in Warsaw, because there it was believed, conscious as the authorities were of forming one of the principal members of the common [13] front set up by London against Germany, that any concession, however minor, could be refused. This was not all! With the same consciousness Poland then started to be aggressive, threatened Danzig, and prepared to take up arms against Germany.

Yeah man that looks like a war mongering menace to the world to me. History really is simple and black and white and 20 years of foreign policy and diplomatic relations should really be summed up and explained in one sentence and then opinions formed solely based on that sentence.

Also it would be beneficial if that sentance was written by the victors and the losers had no say in how it was written.

The three prime criteria aren't be all end all, the prime criteria is the last one, but it is governed by the first two criteria.

For example America has stood the test of time, it hasn't existed for a long time but it has contributed scientifically, religiously, in warfare and even in terms of culture. Its achievements are nothing to scoff at but it has not existed for as long as European countries, so to say it has lasted 400 years as opposed to thousands of years isn't as prestigious.

And I never assumed all countries had equal starting points in origin, that was never even a factor into it. Countries that are on top have advantages, be they man made like the british empire, or geologically like America or most of Europe. Places like Africa had arid enviroments and infertile lands and that has hindered their growth, but the fact remains that they are a third world country that did not stand the test of time, as I've mentioned is one countries ability to be on the forefront of science, society, culture, warfare and to a distant relation of religion helping it in the past.

Not once did I assume they had equal footing and were trounced by one nations superior minds or capabilities, that is what you inferred.
