Civilization VI

[Syt]

Watched some of TB's streams. Apparently he invented the plane before discovering sailing, and got nuclear weapons while bypassing chemistry.

You don't know my email? Seriously?

Well, I do...but wasn't sure if you were planning on buying

The 20% off voucher @ WinGameStore worked...and gave me a nice steam key.  Preloading now

If you decide to buy through there, send me a message with your email and I will send you a referrer link so I can get some points

What voucher though?

[Arvoreen]

I put it in the email invite to you.  Something like  '20civ6' or such

[The Minsky Moment]

Does achieving Democracy as a form of government when you are Poland paralyze all production and advancement due to the personal veto of the nobles?

No but if you manage to elect a highly competent government that improves the economy and Poland's foreign policy clout, it gets swept out at the next election and replaced by pack of reactionary, obscurantist zealots.

Spoiler alert: Sean Bean dies.

Spoiler alert 2: Poland (DLC) confirmed kinda.

Neat.  You don't see many games depict the 1960's Polish military maneuvers.

Here's a cute little video about music in the game. In short, each civ gets its own theme, and it progresses and evolves across the areas.

This shit is amazing. Firaxis have really outdone themselves this time.

This shit is amazing. Firaxis Ed and team have really outdone themselves this time. 

FYP.

That video reminded me that several of my friends at Stanford were in the choir that sang the theme song for Civ 4. My one Indian-American friend was really distressed that my one friend and I played it a lot and that one day we joint nuked India ran by Gandhi. We were cruel.

The official theme is out.

Damn, really liking this. This is the same guy who composed Baba Yetu of Civ IV fame.

So, roll call, who is getting the game. It would be cool to set up a Languish PBEM.

Having Scarborough Fair stuck in my head for days is going to be a high price to pay for playing England.

Damn, really liking this. This is the same guy who composed Baba Yetu of Civ IV fame.

The song is called "The Dream of Flying" - the first stanza is apparently the Leonardo da Vinci quote used for discovery of Flight in CiV, in Old Italian: "For once you have tasted flight you will walk the earth with your eyes turned skywards, for there you have been and there you will long to return."

This gives me a nerdgasm.

[Valmy]

Ah. I have heard that song many times before but was not aware what its name was.

[Arvoreen]

I have it pre-loaded and ready to go...but probably won't get a chance to try it till Sunday, since this weekend is my 30th high school reunion. Too much drinking involved to want to try Civ
