Baghdad was a place of science though in its day. Even if they did get a lot of their knowledge from Eastern Rome.

I'm starting to like the look of Civ 6 more I think.

Where are Ghandi's nuclear elephants

It's the Ayyubid dynasty. Iran is the modern country and Persia is just the area. The Sassanids were also known as the Neo Persians since they were the last line of them.

Iran was literally always called Iran. Persia means nothing in Farsi. It's a Greek word adopted by the West.

Literally

Ah I see what you're saying now

I never knew Persia was just western for Iran and it was always a thing. That's interesting.

Ushan · September 30, 2016, 07:52:37 PM

TBH I always thought the Iranians just crawled out of a hole in the ground after the Sassanid Empire fell.

Yeah same here. It's actually wayyyyy cooler that Iran has always been around and continuously for centuries, been a massive power in some form or another. I'm kinda glad it didn't poof away like the Byzantines or Romans, simply because of the rich history it has. That's some China tier levels there. Or the Danes as well.

At the risk of sounding edgy, or cliche, it's mainly because the worlds at the time, mixed with the events, are very interesting to me. That, and seeing world powers clash in ancient times when battles involved so much strategy and tactics on the battlefield, and it was so close and personal. Now a days battles are just about airstrikes and artillery mainly. It's not nearly as interesting.

It's a reason I enjoy Total War games so much. You can do the Hammer & Anvil tactics like Alexander the Great, and hit and run tactics like Genghis Khan. Even faint retreat and ambush the enemy like Sun Tsu. It's all fantastic to me.
