Astonishing that some people think that their own standards are universal.

In the US, for instance, a tan suit is considered a sign of a slight relaxation of formality, but certainly has no con artist connotation.  Obama is famous for having worn a tan suit, and that's because that the fact that it was considered scandalous by the GOPtards just showed how lacking in scandals his administration was.

Yeah, Indian and Chinese stuff is my bane. Is it from the Middle Ages? From Late Antiquity? Who knows!

I noticed one error (or maybe a glitch that just affected me): It dates the end of the Spanish conquest of the Aztecs at 1.

Also, I'm guessing they're using a script to pull stuff from Wikipedia. At any rate, I think at the moment the game has some weird descriptions of people.

I crashed out immediately because apparently the Pantheon was created in AD 601.

Classical Greeks didn't have choirs and Ethiopia started its existence in 1941. A bit too hit and miss.
