Trajan gets unfair representation by being the emperor when rome was at its largest, even though he achieved that by fighting an ill-advised war against Persia that resulted in his death and only succeeded in holding the territory for a few months. If they wanted someone who wasn't from the Julio-Claudian dynasty Hadrian or Constantine would have been better choices imo

Rexides posted:You will probably have to wait until Civ XXII or so. Haile Selassie died in 1975, so he's the most contemporary leader in Civ at death + 40 years. So, if Obama lives another 35 years to age 90, we might not see him in Civ for another 75 years. Even then, I think we'd see the winner of this year's election as the leader sooner than that as the Harbinger of Global Doom.

Would you be interested in a trade agreement with England? Seriously though, will it be more moddable than Civ V? I mean, will it be possible to import my own models for the diplomacy screens in an easier way (few have managed, AFAIK)? Things like that.

Will players in SP and MP be able to make their own customs signs on the map? Will there be a Civ:Rev-like function where the game asks you to name map features (bays, mountain ranges, deserts, etc)?

I am French and the way I see it, having Catherine de Medicis as the French leader makes utterly no sense for many reasons: First, because it kicks out leaders such as Clovis, Henri IV, Francois 1er, Louis XIV, Napoleon, or De Gaulle to name a few. These leaders had an impact not only on French History, but on World History as well Second, because France had established the Agnatic Succession Rule within the Salic Law, EXCLUDING WOMEN from the inheritance of the throne, back in the 13th century. As a result, she NEVER was the RULING QUEEN of France, technically excluding her as a potential leader for Civ representation (that aparently was not enough to stop Firaxis) Third, as stated earlier, because Catherine de Medicis never really ruled: she was Queen of France as she married King Henri III (but did not have any real executive power) and served as regent of France from 1560 to 1562. Less than 3 years, that´s it. In comparission, Louis XIV ruled for 72 years... Fourth, because Firaxis wants big personalities standing for something important in the history of the nation they represent: she was generally tolerant towards the Protestants but at the same time, took part in their horrible massacre on Saint Barthelemy, in 1572. How does that translate to Civ Gameplay?? "Catherine de Medicis the schyzophrenic ruler??"... I´m curious... Fifth, Firaxis must think it serves the purpose of religious gameplay and their new religious system. Fine, but she is not even the best suited "leader" in her own era for that!! Henri IV, her son in law, and King of France, with his Edit de Nantes (April 1598) would have been muuuch better in this regard, no contest. Sixth, I think she was picked only to put in a female leader. I have no issue with female leaders when they deserve to be chosen, such as: the Queens of England, Isabella of Spain, the Queens of Portugal, Catherine of Russia, the great Austrian Queens, to only dare name a few european queens, or nation actually ruled by female leaders. Although she has had influence in French History, it is riduulous to have picked her for France. It is like having Marie Antoinette or Joan of Arc... nonesense. Conclusion: Just becuase they have a quota of Female Leaders to pick and a new religious system, should not mean that the choice of Catherine de Medicis is justified over all of those great, great leaders France had throughout its 2000 years of History. It shows ignorance and lack of research to some extent and in this regard, it is somewhat of a disappointment. Thinking outside the box is fine but given the data above, this choice is not justifiable quote:Welcome to CFC! Kurtofan fucked around with this message at 08:19 on Jul 14, 2016 |

I mean she's generally regarded as shadow ruling through her sons and stuff right? That already puts her a step above Gandhi, Joan of Arc, Dido and other civ rulers used. IMO better than Maria of Portugal as well.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lf_U-mbM6zA The Art of Civilization VI. People have already been pouring over screens- it seems to back up some of the leaders (including a split-second Roman appearance). Tsingy De Bemaraha shows up at 0:18 - another Natural Wonder.  Frederick Barbarossa on the far right.   Beturbaned leaderhead shows up by Hojo.  Who's this?  Long nose and hairline suggests Trajan, though I guess it could be a caricature of Julius, too.

Someone also pointed out that the civet on the leader board might actually be a hint at CIVETS (an acronym for six favored emerging markets) - Colombia, Indonesia, Vietnam, Egypt, Turkey, South Africa. It might just be over-analyzing at this point, particularly if 22 heads correspond to 18 base civs + 4 post-launch DLC, but perhaps it's where they're looking for the next DLC wave/expansion? Also, there's this, too.   As the player is apparently the Aztecs at the time (a city name that may be Cempoala is seen), it could be Monty's face. Not that you can really make out the details.

We clearly need to write a GUI in Visual Basic to enhance the video further. There was no "Next time" in this release, so I'm assuming next week will have a new Civ first look again.

All this arguing makes me wonder: has anyone ever implemented a CivFanatics civ into any of the games? Its special abilities would relate to being in continual anarchy as every city bitched about which game is the best in the series and how the next game is going to ruin everything / finally redeem the last N games' worth of atrocities / have Hitler.

I wouldn't see them as a civilization, but we could mod it in so that some of their thread titles appear as the text of notifications. Certain events could trigger: "Is Civilization forever dead" "1UPT is in Im OUT!" "Will Firaxis balance CivVI" "[LEADER_NAME] was never culturally or genetically [X]. What a terrible choice."

This thread is now like a Moon Landing scepticism website with an expiration date. As far as fan websites of old franchises go, CivFanatics is still (marginally) better than NoMutantsAllowed. The former is at least a source of decent mods (when it's not slavery mods for CivIV:Colonization) Rexides fucked around with this message at 22:17 on Jul 14, 2016 |

MMM Whatchya Say posted:Yep. Which is a perfectly legitimate criticism. They are loosening up unit/tile restrictions, and they are doing something about unit carpets (which are unfun to manage), so that's a step in the right direction. Hopefully the game mechanics will be something beyond "filling buckets," and I really like the District Ideas. I also hope they are using a more flexible games engine, one that allows dynamic terrain changes, so that we can have much more robust modding.

I'm almost certain they will because terrain changes in V was a limitation actually mentioned by the developers. Ed Beach actually mentioned that they originally looked at the Dutch ability to be to reclaim sea tiles, but the engine wouldn't allow for it.
