Merge subsections together?
Would it be a good idea to merge the gameplay subsections into just "Gameplay", because most of those are unreferenced. I think it's a good idea. Any thoughts? --EclipseSSD (talk) 16:46, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

Copy-edit
While copy-editing, I removed this from the lead as the information was not included later in the article! Te question that remains is (a) can it be cited by a source and (b) but where should it be added back in?

"...the game uses the Genie Game Engine, a 2D sprite based game engine."

As part of the copy-editing, I have removed the following text which was completely unreferenced.

"Each unit has the same aspect for every civilization. So, for example, a Korean Choson long swordsman is identical to a Persian one and a Phoenician one, as are bowmen, axemen, short swordsmen, cavalry, etc. Some armors and clothes are unhistorical, for example the long swordsman of above resembled more a Roman praetorian, and phalanx soldiers have a very heavy armor with a large tower shield that never were given to any ancient soldier (and they would probably be too heavy to wear together and with a long sarissa in a hand; besides, the phalanx was a formation and not a type of infantry). Some units were also available to civilizations that didn't at all have them. Hoplites can be trained by every civilization, and some middle-Asian civilizations can train legions and centurions, while Japanese Yamato can build triremes."

Done
The copyedit has been completed. After reading the article, I'd say that someone could probably nominate it for GA with a good chance of success, after they cleanup the remaining tags. While I was going through, I found quite a few places that need a reference, clarification, or possible removal and added inline tags to them. Otherwise, I think that everything looks good! -Drilnoth (talk) 16:07, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
