and that the one lowland "civ" which adapted best to the new conditions was Assyria, which bordered on the Zagros mountains, and had always had to fight barbarians in the mountains.
Keep on being a thorn - calling out historical truth is not trolling, its necessary here.

I'm no expert on history, just pointing out logic faults with this particular addition in the game. I think this is one of those things that Firaxis will be able to add to to the back of the box, for sales.

If only we could reach a definition of fun that everyone could agree on ...
A good friend of mine will absolutely refuse to play any fantasy/sci fi game even if it has identical rules and maps to a historical game he loves, just with different names. For him, if it is make believe it is not fun. Go figure
