Monty needs his bff Shaka though. They're the dynamic duo of Civilization. And by dynamic I of course mean aggressive. It will likely be an interesting if you start sandwiched between them.

You're correct in that they originally went for The Pueblo, but I wouldn't describe them as well known. At least not compared to classics like The Sioux

I've always thought the Apache and Comanche were among the most well known because they were frequent in Lucky Luke if my memory is correct. :v:

Don't forget to make trade deals suggest money instead of junk like horses and open borders by default. Everyone wants money. If I wanted someone else I would ask for that specifically. Having it default to crap just wastes everybody's time.

What's wrong with a pentagon or even a decent heptagon instead?

Think about how cool it would be in a multiplayer game to be able to build a dam and cut off the river bonuses to an opposing city

More fun if their city is just one tile upstream.

Yeah, honestly tactical combat and logistics in and of itself are just not things I desire in a civ game.

War should be a reflection of the other parts of the game, a reward for skilled diplomacy, building the right things, and preparation, not shuffling units around optimally. There are plenty of very good wargames out there.

War in civ is just building lots of ranged and enough melee to take the cities and protect the units actually doing something if necessary. I only play at emperor but there is certainly no diplomacy involved.

Having it be Total War Civ, while interesting, would not be a fun civ however. I certainly agree with that.

Supply lines are never going to be in a Civ game except in the most abstract way. It's a semi-casual strategy game. In order for supply lines to be in the game, they would be the main focus of the game as they would be the most micromanaged feature.

What if you set them up as trade routes? Build them and send them from a city to a specific unit, for 30 turns and then you have to reselect that particular unit from the list. :v:

I really hope great works will still be in in some way. The artwork, music and read quotes makes it very rewarding and more interesting.

You know, I'm gonna miss the wonder screens from Civ V. They were an awful cop-out for the actual ending slides, but for individual wonders the combination of the painting, the music, and the narration could really create a sense of awe (At least, the first time you built them )

Can anything top this?

One of the articles or Youtubes said the World Congress is one of the few things they dropped, which is a shame because I really liked that system.

Personally I won't miss it. While the idea is good it basically always just boils down to getting enough money to buy all city states so the AI doesn't ban every luxury.

Since the best religious picks include tithe and pagodas which boost money, happiness and culture you actually become better at science for being pious in Civ5. As long as you don't actually pick piety of course. :v:

Some of the good events were terrible too. +25% against archer units on ALL of your melee? For free? Completely randomly out of the blue? Hello game balance.

But let's not forget the terrible quests 4 had:

Build X amount of <something> before <very short time limit>.
Settle near the holy mountain, with no indication of where it is. Oh and if someone else borders it you fail but you won't be notified.

I think a good example of the way diplomacy works is to look at the world congress. There's a some resolutions to pass for world fairs and stuff like that, but the majority of the options are banning luxuries or embargoing other civs, so the world congress usually becomes a very negative function.

The AI absolutely loves to ban luxuries. All luxuries. Forever.

It doesn't help that the world congress is just about who buys the most city states and dictates everything. Really looking forward to seeing that changed in Civ6. Hopefully it'll be less Greece, Greece and Greece all the time.

Turn all leaders into female versions of themselves? Sounds great to me.

Also I once watched an anime based on that. :v:

Stack fighting was just finding the enemy stack and hitting it first with a lot of siege weapons and then using the rest to mop up the remains. If the enemy hit your stack first you lost. :colbert:

It doesn't help that units will cancel their 10-20 turn movement because something temporarily ended up in the hex you told them to move to.

I believe Call to Power 2 did something similar to this as well.

Yep. You could stack up to 12 units on a tile and when you attacked it would bring up a small window with all the troops visible fighting with melee in front, ranged behind, flanking units on the sides etc. If I remember correctly units would only focus on the front row whatever that was so your archers would be safe from damage until your melee died.

Siege units could bombard the tile next to them damaging and even destroying units. The more siege you had the more damage obviously but you needed regular units to protect them.

There's not one set list anymore. Your capital is always the same, but the rest of your cities are random.

But yeah, I'd imagine each leader would have an appropriate capital. Particularly since we've got an Athenian leader and a Spartan leader.

That'd be a tough choice. Do I play as a queen of Sparta or as an old guy in a toga who talked a lot?

One day I'll hope they'll add some diplomatic punishment for city states given how fickle they are at abandoning allies for another civ. I don't want them to get it on with nobody else but me. :argh:
