	Accept Huns for Hunnic Empire

	Excellent!

	LinuxLinus:	Jun 1st, 2011 at 13:01 GMT	16 points
	Cool idea. The only problem is that the pictures go by a litte fast. And I couldn't get it to take #18.

	Raynard:	Jun 1st, 2011 at 13:57 GMT	4 points
	Great job! Loved the quiz and how it included my favorite empires (Rome and Carthage). The only thought I had is slow down the pictures.

	Accept caliphate for 19

	Hamilton_Burger:	Jun 1st, 2011 at 17:38 GMT	4 points
	Agree that it should accept "Caliphate."

	ElectricalBrain:	Jun 1st, 2011 at 18:39 GMT	1 point
	Caliphate is accepted ;)

Comment below threshold: show it

	Did anyone else have problems with the controls? Had to reload the quiz several times, had to click back and forth between a couple of different blanks before it would take my answers, etc. Fun quiz otherwise.

	tmarks91:	Jun 2nd, 2011 at 00:07 GMT	4 points
	hun/huns should really be accepted. I was quite mad when I discovered that I got it right

	This has a lot of inconsistencies with accepting the adjective or noun form of the empire. It should just accept both

	jessicarr415:	Jun 2nd, 2011 at 03:36 GMT	6 points
	There are multiple Muslim empires, I don't think Arab or Muslim should be accepted.

	zalgor:	Jun 2nd, 2011 at 04:33 GMT	3 points
	hun for hunnic

	lpw88:	Jun 2nd, 2011 at 14:03 GMT	5 points
	just clear something up for me, why is it youv'e included the American colonies of the French Empire, and haven't for the British?

	I was disappointed not to see the Aztec or Mayan empires on here. Both were larger than the Inca by land area, and the Mayans had more cultural influence than the Inca.

	toledorockets:	Jun 3rd, 2011 at 01:42 GMT	9 points
	Great quiz. Nominating it. I'd like to see a few empires added if possible: Byzantine, Sassanid, Holy Roman, Mogul, Egyptian, Macedonian.

	Great quiz!

	deorco:	Jun 3rd, 2011 at 07:56 GMT	6 points
	The slideshow went by too fast for me, so I just used the control to click stop and go through the images manually.

	ottoman:	Jun 3rd, 2011 at 18:22 GMT	10 points
	The Umayyad caliphate is one of multiple caliphates; for that matter it's the only one that united all the lands show. After the breakdown of the Umayyads, things were split between the Fatimid caliphate in Egypt and the Abbasid caliphate in baghdad; from there everything went into Feuding Princely States mode.

	Pictures go way too fast dude

	Jabulani10:	Jun 5th, 2011 at 22:57 GMT	4 points
	Although there are multiple Arab/Islam/Muslim empires, devil's advocate there are also multiple caliphates, and that is accepted. Don't mean to be a huge pain/stickler for technicalities (which unfortunately I am being) but I kept trying that for 19.

	crigs71:	Jun 6th, 2011 at 01:09 GMT	3 points
	Agree with the above comment. Accepting caliphate is like accepting empire for all of the answers.

	packsoldier:	Jun 7th, 2011 at 16:30 GMT	3 points
	Aaargh...went for Umayyid as opposed to Umayyad.

	Morbo:	Jun 9th, 2011 at 02:42 GMT	-1 points
	Agree with those who have been complaining about the controls. It's like being a passenger on a 747 and trying to figure out how to fly the plane after the pilots go down. Lots of clicking back and forth, arrows and boxes and stop buttons ... it's confusing. I spent the first two minutes just trying to figure that out, and even after that had some trouble. Great quiz, but it could really use some more time added to compensate for the learning curve of the controls.

	Zephos:	Jun 10th, 2011 at 22:07 GMT	5 points
	Don't accept "Arab", "Caliphate" or "Muslim". It's ridiculous. There's multiple Caliphates, even along the original line. The difference between the Umayyad's and the two surrounding them is massive for history and Islam. Don't listen to lazy people who want an easy answer at the expense of reality.

	Dunyazad:	Jun 17th, 2011 at 19:50 GMT	2 points
	Controls were a bit finicky. Maybe add a bit more time to compensate? Pictures went by too fast, so I stopped the slide show and had to click individually; combine that with trying to get the right form for answers, and I didn't even look at the last two pictures before I was out of time. The answers accepted are very inconsistent. Something like "China" or "Chinese" was accepted for "Han", but the Ummayad Caliphate is treated very differently. If you want to be strict, that's fine, but just be consistent. It makes no sense to accept Caliphate alone in any case.

	accept roman for rome, that one had me stuck and i was positive that was it

	M_C_HAMEL:	Jun 20th, 2011 at 01:06 GMT	1 point
	The Umayyad Caliphate definitely should have an easier accepted name, like Muslim/Islam or Saladin's empire, as he is a amous ruler of said empire.

	ireland96:	Jun 21st, 2011 at 00:16 GMT	3 points
	you should accept persian for achaemenid empire. most people know it as the persian empire. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Achaemenid_Empire wikipedia agrees

	grover173:	Jun 24th, 2011 at 16:46 GMT	1 point
	"macedonia" or "macedonian" (I don't remember if the "n" is required or not) works for the acheaeminid empire, as i found out serendipitously. The first time i took the quiz image 11 was not showing: i got a photobucket "this image has been moved or deleted" error. Kind of killed my chances to get 100% on the first go. Fortunately(?) that was never going to happen anyway. :)

	AdamBishop:	Jun 25th, 2011 at 17:56 GMT	3 points
	Saladin did not rule the Ummayyad empire, as he lived several centuries later. By his time there was an Abbasid caliph in Baghdad, and Fatimid one in Cairo (which he abolished). His family ruled the Ayyubid empire, which was not a caliphate (as it recognized the caliph in Baghdad).

	DMasny:	Jun 28th, 2011 at 19:12 GMT	2 points
	Great Quiz, I would love to see more empires added (Byzantine, Holy Roman, Nazi, Napoleonic, Viking) , and I agree that the pictures go by too fast. You can use the controls to stop it and click each slide manually, but then you have to make sure to click the cursor back to the answer box each time.

	ElectricalBrain:	Jun 29th, 2011 at 20:03 GMT	2 points
	I understand the problem with the speed of the slideshow, I have been trying to change it but I think the slideshow of photobucket dont allow it, sorry.

	elendil:	Sep 5th, 2011 at 19:13 GMT	1 point
	"Russian" isn't accepted for "Russian Empire". "Empire" can be left off for British, French, Spanish, German, etc.
