>"One of the things we raised with the art department was how in Civ 5, almost everyone had like this really statuesque and unbelievably attractive model even though in reality, historical leaders were of course just normal people like you and me. So one of things we wanted to do was make them look more grounded and relatable, and I think they did a really amazing job kind of conveying that."
>"Well we had a really long talk about [the Mongols] and whether we should include them in this installment of the series. Eventually we started asking ourselves if it was just time to move in a different direction and finally retire them from the series. The Mongols were known for committing mass rape and murder and just kind of being jerks {laughs}, and how would people feel if we included someone like Hitler in the game? We still wanted to have a nomadic horse people from the steppe though, and eventually someone suggested the Scythians led by Queen Tomyris, who most people never even heard about. I remember we were doing our research on her and Steven literally asked me "How have I never heard of this woman?" So yes, that really fit into the vision we wanted to have of showing off lesser known but still larger-than-life personalities. It was like the stars aligned, basically. Of course Genghis Khan can still show up as a great general, but I'll probably delete him if I ever get him." {laughs}

Pax Mongolia, just like Pax Romana, or any pax, comes after that civilization has forced everyone else to bend the knee at the edge of their sword. The Mongols were probably the most brutal mass murderers in history, they put Hitler's final solution to shame. But yes, that brutality did lead to increased trade, knowledge, and prosperity once the killing was over. Pretty based tbqhfam

Right for the most part. Although it led to increased trade, there is no doubt it led a significant dip in overall knowledge. Subjugation does not necessarily lead to increased knowledge. Not to mention the destruction of The House of Wisdom. And prosperity was only for the Mongols themselves and didn't even trickle down to allies like the Georgians or Armenians.
We are worse off as a world overall because of the Mongols, no question.
Andrew Jackson
oldfag here.
I played the original civilization and the original sim city when I was a kid. And Age of Empires 2 when I was a little bit older.
what are the military/strategy/civilization building games that I should want to play casually?
I've seen Murdoch Murdoch refer to Cross of iron 3 or something in one of his videos....is that a thing I want?

ignoring the major fighting forces of the world because of PC bullshit is a deal killer for me too. Kahn, Attila, Hitler, Stalin should be in every game.

do you mean "hearts of iron 4"? it's ok, but has it's own PC bullshit. German version has blurred image of hitler, they rename him also, removed the concentration camp minigame.
I thought it was 2 combat units per tile but they have to be opposite range/melee

Why the fuck did they make this game look like Civilization Revolution, CIV 5 looks way better than this cartoonish mess

this entire post is about a video game, reply to OP with your grievance.
i dont like the look of it either. the game will include the diplomatic system introduced in Beyond Earth, and the way that also had "wonder tiles" that occupied their own tiles. you can see the menu in pic related.

Yay feminism... As if the last game didn't destroy you, this surely will.
I ain't buying any kind of politicial shitfest of a game, thanks for destroying it. I've been a fan since civ I actually. It's the only game I play still, from now to then. That is Civ5 and BE......
Guess they want to go broke. Thanks for letting me know OP. I won't be preordering this shitfest and get the team to do the same, we were all sceptical to begin with, but this sealed it.
feminism lit kills companies. I see they refuse to learn this, so they will succumb. when this retarded, you fucking deserve it, sorry. Any sensible developer should flee, because you will be blamed when this doesn't sell. >why not people into buyings? >surely dev/gfx teams fault >fuck you devies! more feminism! your code is raysist!
The graphics are ugly as sin but the UI is sharp. Plus the fog of war map effect is fucking cool.

I really, really, really wanted to like this game. It's one of my favorite series.
Why does the liberal agenda have to be pushed everywhere? You can't escape it. There is simply no medium which hasn't been affected.
I can't play a strategy game without propaganda being shoved down my throat. I can't watch an animated sitcom with toilet humor. I can't read an article on an objective series of events that doesn't need to be put through a partisan lens, but it always is. I can't even watch the NBA All Star game in Charlotte, because it's considered inhumane to use two toilets.
What does the NBA have to do with transsexuals? Not a damn thing. But they made it their personal mission to alienate viewers who didn't agree with their twisted set of beliefs, as though they were indisputable.
I don't walk around shitting all over the dining room table, the oven, the office room, etc. I shit in the toilet, because that's where excrement belongs. STOP PUSHING YOUR AGENDA OUTSIDE OF THE POLITICAL MEDIA! If I want to hear a bunch of people spout about their party's beliefs like they coincidentally agree with every one of them, I'd turn on a fucking news channel.
I have opinions, okay? And it's not such a national fucking travesty to believe people should shit in the bathroom that correlates with the genitals they were given at birth. I don't deserve to be chastised and made fun of every time I consume COMPLETELY unrelated media. Christ.

>Scythians They're just mongols but not as competent.
It's good to use lesser known civs and leaders, but dropping the Mongols is a poor choice.
>But yes, that brutality did lead to increased trade, knowledge, and prosperity once the killing was over. Pretty based tbqhfam
Literally turned the middle east into a shithole so bad that it's still one today. They didn't "increase knowledge". They smeared it. More people learned, but the level of learning was much, much lower.
Fuck you. Stacks of doom are a dumb mechanic and one unit per tile makes it so you can't just steamroll.
Cover art is based
In-game art direction is garbage.

This! Fucking this
Civilization is the only mother fucking game I still play on rare occations, like I dunno maybe I go for a few-dayers once or twice a year when I got time for it.
Shutting the world out, not able to get hold on the phone, driving people nuts for a few days.. hehe.. as in a trance if people come visiting.. just answering "yes, yes, yes, yes you can roll a joint.yes(already rolled and visitor have stated it prolly 3-4 times at this point)
sigh... now this too... a simple strategy game.. I guess the leading tech will be feminism and fembots the best forces along with an all midget nigger marine forces that can attack from water and walk penalty less through dwarf caves in the mountains.....
Last time it was a shit fest, tons of developers quit shitty leadership. It almost went to shit, well it did.
Now they seem to have hired feminists and fucking go down the SJW trap. They are going to die now
Off principal I stay away from this, I see it as foreign propaganda, when they start like this. Seriously hope they start banning shit like this.
Movies and games alike, not that it has any other effect other than sending a signal that this is not OK.

Jordan King
> Ghengis Khan was a big meanie so let's not include him haha
What a dumb fucking reason considering they're including other leaders responsible for genocides and mass rapes
The game does sound like a major improvement over last installment though
Pretty much guarantees the Civ series is never going to adopt more complex mechanics like genocide though
Stacks of doom = retarded
Christopher Fisher
No reason to add the mongols when you already have a horsefucker civ.
Jose Flores
also civilization used to be fucking hard on the higher lvls.... this was pretty capped in 5, very stupid AI. IE it decides a place to attack, and it will only attack that place. So... pretty easy to fuck.
So much other crap missing too. Like instigating revolts to take over the cities etc
Kevin Lewis
This, most likely
Now that they're incorporating shit like religion and trade and everything in the base game, I wonder what they'll do for the expansions
I'm hoping one of them adds a future era. When was the last time Civ did future era tech? It was like Civ 2, wasn't it?
Justin Anderson
That Cleopatra looks fucking awful. She was supposed to be an extremely attractive woman, both in beauty and in charm.
>"For she was a woman of surpassing beauty, and at that time, when she was in the prime of her youth, she was most striking; she also possessed a most charming voice and knowledge of how to make herself agreeable to everyone. Being brilliant to look upon and to listen to, with the power to subjugate everyone, even a love-sated man already past his prime, she thought that it would be in keeping with her role to meet Caesar, and she reposed in her beauty all her claims to the throne."
Lucas Perez
No we're not talking about Gustav gingerbread fucker, QV was known for being handsome in her younger days (hence why everyone noticed when she wasn't). Even pictures of her at 60 show she looked nothing like that.
