Say in 200 years from now, maybe even 500 years, historians look back to the modern day to learn about our past. Maybe some sort of nuclear war happened, and they wanted to relearn what history was like. They find a game series known as civilization, and with it they learn so much about not only our time, but of great figures throughout history:

• They learn of Elizabeth, the famous English queen who brought greatness to her empire through the vast amounts of trade deals she secured with everyone in the known world. She may have pissed everyone off, but the wealth she accrued would turn England into a superpower.

• They would learn of Hiawatha, the powerful Iroquois leader who built settlement after settlement, building the largest empire the world has ever seen. He caused many wars in what historians of the 21st century refer to as a 'forward settle', but he typically gained more than he lost.

• They learnt of Alexander the Great, known worldwide as the most fucking annoying person to exist. Everyone hated his fucking smug face, but his vast network of city-state allies that he had been purchasing would keep him safe.

• And lastly, but certainly not least, they would know and fear the terrifying Nuclear Warlord Ghandi, the most deadly person ever to exist on the earth. After his country of India had been under English rule for so long ("Indians, would you like to enter a trade agreement with England? If you give me this, and that, and...") he finally snapped. He became the most feared, non-non-violent person ever, raining nuclear warheads on London for over a year. After he gained independence, he lead his armies across the world, leaving a trail of bombed-out craters and nuclear fallouts in his wake. They say Ghandi took on 10 Immortals with his bare hands, during a Persian Golden Age!

I mean, whoever heard of Ghandi being a peace-loving, humanistic hippy? Not me, certainly...
