        Oh, they were strong enough.  A "Perfectionist, Civilized" nation
was quite different from a "Warlike, ???".  I don't remember all of the
attributes right now, but the Romans were quite different than the Zulus.
        In most of the games I played, the Zulus wound up like the AI in
Freeciv -- 1800 military units of inferior quality being rolled over by my
more modern units.
        The Indians were definitely Peaceful, too.  Usually, we'd have
friendly relations for hundreds of years, then the space race would start
and they'd drop Nukes.

        What would you like to see as differences?
