Civilization VI

[Tonitrus]

So yeah, spend your early years peacefully minding your own business and ignoring the whole religion thing other civs are talking about - then found yours as the latecomer to the party and go on a jihad.

Considering the political climate in gaming nowadays, I'm kinda in shock there hasn't yet been a "ZOMG CIV 6 IS RACIST" movement started. 

There's nothing racist about Civ 6, Arabia simply gets a guaranteed last religion like they did historically. If someone equates this to jihad, that's their own projection.

Though...if they have the Mamluk going around that same time, it looks like that unit is made for blitzing through enemies.

I bet when Saladin's Mamluks tear through Solmyr's Mother Russia, Solmyr will blame appropriation of Arabia's culture through his caravans.

- Unique Ability: Mother Russia. Russian cities get 8 extra tiles when first founded, and get extra production and faith from Tundra tiles.

Wonder if this means civ 6 when generating maps will include some biasing to ensure nations get appropriate terrain where possible.

Definitely. It was already present in Civ 5 (and I think Civ 4).

Never noticed.

Here's a cool overview of all civs in one video:

Wasn't it Civ 2 that had multiple leaders for civilizations, too?

Yep at least 2 and 4 did. I think 2 was about always having a male and female option.

I liked what they did with Greece, and it opens up for more leaders in DLCs.

Also, it seems that different leaders get different capitals, and the devs confirmed that you can get both leaders in the same game.

So this opens ground for Bismarck with a capital in Berlin vs. Frederick in Aachen, or Lenin with Moscow vs. Peter in St. Petersburg etc.

That comment section tho.

I like no longer being able to see the comments. I just forget such a thing on Youtube exists.

Without checking those out - is it because people are asking for a second leader for Germany?

I'm guessing more like, "A WOMAN!!!" "FUCK PC" "FUCK SJW" "STOP PUSHING YOUR AGENDAS!!!" etc etc etc

[Solmyr]

Syt is right.

It's my default assumption about gaming outrage these days.
