c trop bien
( Hop Swiss Hop!)
Is there any way to check whether there is some error with how this Civ is playing for me? (I play on a mac).
Gerda, Heidi, Ruedi, Urs are all obvious Swiss Germans, René is French, and Guido needs no explanation, but Ueli, while it would seem Schwiezerdeutsch, hasn't crossed my path...
Also there are plenty of kids with English names nowadays, in my class there are a Jim, Gary, Simon, Jennifer, and Matthias though none of them except Gary even speak English. And none of them have any non-Swiss ancestry except Simon, who is half French.
Not just important, but perhaps interesting for the next upgrade:
You named a swiss city as "Neuhatel". Its french name is Neuchâtel (châtel is the french form of "castle", both from latin "castellum"), its german name Neuenburg (Burg is the german word meaning "castle", the german "neu" means "new").
As to the spy-names: English is not one of the four "native" languages of Switzerland. Some typical swiss prenames are Gerda and Heidi (female), Ueli, Ruedi, Guido, René and Urs (male).
It's an intriguing overall civ idea. Will likely try it after the gold UA gets rebalanced so it's more appropriate for larger games at higher difficulty. The manpower thing is nice both substance wise and flavor wise, considering Swiss historical mercenery past and how it forces you to make a potentially very significant choice when it comes to trading it away or not.
