Sealand

Re-read the post. I’m saying that unique buildings could be earnable, as opposed to unique units being actually unique to the civilization, and this was just the random example that I picked. Starting points have a lot to do with how you’re going to play the rest of the game.

When a monarchy defeats another monarchy, they’re not going to put a democratic leader in place.

There have been vassal states and puppet leaders throughout history.

I wouldn’t mind having more (especially passive) bonuses based on starting locations and resources, and I think eurekas were a step in the right direction. Like let’s say that Aztec always gets Jaguar Warriors, but if they start on coasts, then they get the UB feitoria instead of Portugal.

Going to be 14 years next month for me

36. Aztecs sit out a game in favor of Mexico.

make immigration a normal mechanic, but make America better at it.

You’re not very good at getting jokes.

This argument has been made millions of times, but it’s never a strong or convincing argument. The only real way to make this make sense is to keep the unique ability and make it even stronger, so that there’s still something to tell the different factions apart. For example, if you’re playing...

Let’s see, Mao Zedong was the leader of China in Civ 1, which came out about 15 years after he died, and Wilma Mankiller, the Cherokee chief, died about 13 years ago…

They have at least a few cities that would work for this, actually. I don’t want them to be a full civ, or anything, but they’re unique and popular enough to have some kind of representation at some point.

But Murder Inc could produce their civ theme.

I’m just going to say that I want Inuits in as a city-state.

Some ideas: Suiko of Japan Hatshepsut of Egypt (rather than Cleopatra) Puduhepa of Hittites Amage of Sarmatia Scythia? Doubtful. Kongo? I wouldn’t be surprised.
