Victoria referring to herself as "We" is perfectly historically accurate. I really like the snowy buildings, it's just a weird thing, I like snow in video games.

I just had the best bug/feature/wtf moment of all Civ6. I boot the game as Random Leader Immortal 6player map Shuffle. I get Russia and proceed to expand cities and poo poo, then Kongo ż? declares a surprise war against me because my capital was exposed from me being outside hunting barbs. I hold the line and wipe his units and conquer his first city, he says it was "a momentary madness" and wants to be best friends forever. SURE. I accept only to get ready to maul them... which I do as soon as I can. Kongo always has nice cities so I'm glad I wiped the fucker, I discover Japan to the east of him so of course he denounces me as a warmonger. I had Oligarchy so my units were quite experienced so I decide to tech the Bombard Science and after I upgrade my Catas I declare war on him. This fucker had city after city after city with the very last one on an island bordered with cliffs... after a long fight I conquer his final city and when I do so and get ready for his sweet defeated movie I get... the Lose Game video instead żżżż???? I go, gently caress I was so tunnel minded on my conquers that I probably got Culture or Religion defeat, I hit "Just One More Turn" and turns out Cleopatra had 4 civs under her religion (not me) but after wiping a civ it recounted the limit needed I guess? Lmao this game. turboraton fucked around with this message at 04:54 on Nov 21, 2016 |

It goes against the stupid "pretend the singleplayer is multiplayer" direction they've picked for the series, but Space/Relgiion/Tourism victories shouldn't end the game when an AI hits them. That victory option should be locked out for everyone else but the game should continue. Of course then they'd need some actual diplomatic meat to the game since nonsensical "I can't launch my spaceship if people visit your cities!" conflict is one of few drivers of diplomacy.

Powercrazy posted:Yea. I appreciate what they were going for with a single theme of civs that gets better as the era's progress, but I feel like they should have had a "base" more subdued track per era that plays the majority of the time, with your unique civ song fading in when notable events occur. As well as playing the other civs theme songs too. Maybe it was compounded by the lackluster quality of the other theming (art, quotes) of this game but I turned off the music faster than I did for 4 or 5. They did that video showing the dynamic music stuff which seemed cool but in practice it didn't really have an impact on me. The English music especially took a downtick for me because the war theme for V was pretty drat good https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U5oO6wBrp8s

Although most of them are good at annoying me sometimes. "You have much that I do not! Do you want to see your people taken as slaves?" gently caress you, you jerk. Also, whatever China says when you have more wonders than they do. Cry more, loser.

Poil posted:I didn't hate or even dislike it but it does get annoying when it's the only song the game wants to play. It feels like the game barely has 10 different tunes. Yeah I agree, they totally can come out with more tracks for each Civ, especially Russia and America. But I guess they didn't want to have to create the different era versions of the music again. Perhaps evolving music wasn't such a good idea after all.

ThisIsNoZaku posted:Never feel bad making GBS threads on Qin Shi Huang. In game, either. In 230 BC, the state of Qin had defeated the state of Han. A Han aristocrat named Zhang Liang swore revenge on the Qin emperor. He sold all his valuables and in 218 BC, he hired a strongman assassin and built him a heavy metal cone weighing 120 jin (roughly 160 lb or 97 kg).[40] The two men hid among the bushes along the emperor's route over a mountain. At a signal, the muscular assassin hurled the cone at the first carriage and shattered it. However, the emperor was actually in the second carriage, as he was travelling with two identical carriages for this very reason. Thus the attempt failed.[60] Both men were able to escape in spite of a huge manhunt.[40] He threw a "heavy metal cone" at somebody to kill them? Who does that?

Je m'appelle = I'm called. Je suis = I am. Even in a straight up literal translation you can see why the grammar is wonky with the former: Je m'appelle Catherine, reine de France = I'm called Catherine, Queen of France Je suis Catherine, reine de France = I am Catherine, Queen of France Which do you think Catherine would rather emphasise? The fact that people call her Catherine, or the fact that she's Queen of France?

The Royal We has a Wikipedia page and everything, it's how pretty much every Western European monarch did it back in the day. The "we" means "God and I," since if you're born to be a monarch it's because God said so. I'm loving the game so far but having a problem where enemies will settle right in the middle of my empire, loving up my borders, and when I declare war on them everybody else on the entire planet denounces me. Do you get better CBs with less horrific warmonger penalties later on? This has happened on two games at turn 225 or so. Playing on Prince. Also in every game I've played I have never ever had a friendly AI for longer than like 20 turns. Hojo has said he's my friend and surprise wardecced me but that's it. Is normal?

prefect posted:"...of Great Britain and Ireland, and soon, dare I say, the empire." This line started to get grating on me, I don't quite know why - there's this weird precociousness that rubs me the wrong way in how she delivers it. By the way, the monarch of the United Kingdom wasn't de jure an emperor until Victoria was crowned Empress of India so in that sense it works factually, even though everyone called the United Kingdom "the British Empire" well before that. But if there's one person who'd be a stickler about proper style it'd be the monarch herself.

I'll call this game out on all sorts of things, but the multiplayer is solid as a rock, has scenarios and a gamespeed specifically for it. It's a huge step up on 5.
