RE: Picture Quiz
"Evil Time"? Yeah... I do get up too early to read my online stuff. That said, it only took a minute or two to solve the puzzle (once you figure out one name, the others fall right into place), and I had some time to burn between reading the morning paper and going to play in my early morning basketball game...
Now, as for for Rome: Total War... I'm off work now, with nothing to do until Lost comes on (except read more stupid Lieber and Woolsey for a grad-level history class I'm currently taking), so now really is the time to start killing more of those darned Egyptians again...

SWEET!!!! Do we get extra credit if we mention the Country? For instance, La Paz is the Presidential/Congressional Capital of Bolivia?
edit: Sucre is the other Capital of Bolivia, where the Judicial Branch resides.

Nah, that would be too easy, if you know the capital already, and with Chile written on the map...
...and I thought Sucre is what you put into your espresso...

You hid the changes well.... I guess if you are familiar with the territory it's easier to spot.
I have only found one so far, it's Rio de la Plata, not Plate.

RE:Picture Quiz
Rio de la Plata is correct
hint:
I changed two more names (but Moron is the original [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img] ) just try the ones that seem to be too strange to be true
and I duplicated one city icon and one other icon and placed it somewhere else
