He doesn't. He has a Patriarch Identifier.

Firstly, you are right in saying that by the time the Babylonian kingdom began, Nimrod was dead.

Secondly, the first Babylonian Dynasty extended from 1894 to about 1595. While Hammurabi, who I believe is the person you're thinking about, fits the 1750 mark, he was the sixth king of the first Dynasty.

Thirdly, the extended Lifespans lasted well past the flood:
Gen 23:1  And Sarah was an hundred and seven and twenty years old: these were the years of the life of Sarah.
Gen 25:7  And these are the days of the years of Abraham's life which he lived, an hundred threescore and fifteen years.
Gen 35:28  And the days of Isaac were an hundred and fourscore years.
Gen 47:28  And Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years: so the whole age of Jacob was an hundred forty and seven years.

My mistake. I was taking my figures off Wikipedia, and misinterpreted part of it, which led me to my assumption of the year the empire was formed. Regarding the extended lifespans, I was just pointing out that no longer would people be living for 400+ years; obviously there are plenty of examples of people living past 120 post that announcement, however, it's still a pretty good point to tag an average lifespan during those mid-Genesis years.

Officially, that's because there is not Isrealite Identifier.

Exactly. Abraham has no Israelite identifier. What is your argument again?

One pro about him gaining a Babylonian identifier is you could use a Iron Pan + Goshen + Brass Serpant Combo without taking them out of the Fortress. I know alot will find this not useful cause there are plenty of was to get the key Genesis people back without healers or Chariots. But then Joe's ability to get Goshen would be helpful also

Again, for issues like this, accuracy is the priority, not gameplay.

We're still questioning if it would be accurate. Just because he's a Chaldean doesn't mean he's a Babylonian. Chaldeans were 'admitted' into the Babylonian Empire and were sortof engulfed by them. Chaldeans were not originally Babylonians though.

I'd like Nimrod to by Pale Green/Crimon, even if he doesn't have both or either identifier, in honor of having been the early founder of both Babylon and Assyria.

I'd support this, even though I don't support him having the identifiers. A bit of a tribute to the whole character.

I wouldn't mind that either.
