I'm assuming you're talking about the view city option. If that is what you are talking about, no I have never seen the barbarian flag.------------------ What if the Hokey-Pokey is really what its all about? Save the whales, collect the whole set!!

Red=Barbarian right? well, there's a red flag on the UN icon imagine thatyou, the enlightened prime minister in a 3 piece suit sitting right next to an unshaven unbathed long haired fellow in a bearskin answering to the name Boris the pugnant, deciding to install a cease fire.  |

The "Wonder" icon has a few flags... right, you are. It just so happens, too that 'what a coincidence' more plainly colored symbols are there also! U-nited N-ations building off 43rd in New York has about 146 countries (and counting) patriotic flags waving proudly in the coastal wind of the Atlantic ocean, on the top of their mast... I have seen them from an Helicopter, and could not distinguish a "Barbarian's" sponsored spot. Peace Keeping forces should have one, tough. I suspect, it wouldn't be colored red... probably BLUE with a very well recognized white symbol in the middle of branches. But, probably IT couldn't be outfitted on a 90 pixels wide picture by the artists.

I think that the barbarian flag on the UN is intentional, sort of an inside joke amongst the CIV II team.BTW: I think there are like 189 UN members and the UN recognises a further 6 or 7 countries |

Right, you are! Icon for a game and reality are two very different things. 189? Already. Costly for most, too. But i guess it is the price for World peace and overall security for the populations of our planet. |
