It's certainly a large number in absolute terms, just unfortunately not a huge one in terms of percentage. Which tends to be the one that executives look at when assigning resources. Same issue with AI a lot of the time. - Jon

There was certainly interest in 64-bit, but I believe the issue is that Steam is (was?) 32-bit only, which torpedoed things pretty early on. - Jon

Glad to hear it, nokmirt! :D - Jon

Much of the ethnic music in Civ 5 was compose by Geoff Knorr. An absolutely brilliant composer. - Jon

I know, I know... sorry, they're just a bit non-distinct... - Jon

Sean Bean definitely Dies at the End. Confirmed. - Jon

64-bit was never on the table for Civ 5. I'd be surprised if it was for Civ 6 as well, but you never know. It's a huge engineering effort for not nearly as huge of a benefit. - Jon

All Civs must serve. All Civs must die! - Jon

The narrator for the trailer is often different from the narrator in game. Fun fact: we actually tried to get Morgan Freeman to do the narration for Civ 5, but, well... :( - Jon

I can assure you guys it's not a Civ 5 Mod. Very different in many ways, especially on the combat and economics front. It's definitely taking a while, can't deny that, just the nature of making a 4X game. Happy to answer any questions you guys might have. - Jon

Sad to say, you're about an order of magnitude off. - Jon

Lots of interesting thoughts on this subject. Did an interview on it actually not too long ago, I'll see if I can dig it up. - Jon

Cool video at least. :D - Jon

Busatti was definitely on the Civ 5 art team, but Dorian Newcomb was our art director. - Jon

Dye! - Jon

Thanks UG! - Jon

It's tough because there's not a direct lineage between ancient era "barbarians" and later-era rebels, terrorists, etc. I think there's definitely potential there, but it's not quite as simple as just extending things forward. I think you need a lot of new mechanics, which would probably add a...

Something like Domination is probably the low-hanging fruit. - Jon

Leaders are actually ALL of the extra work. Adding new civs is pretty trivial by comparison. I wanted to keep multiple leaders in 5 but it was just too expensive. I'd assume the same is true for Civ 6, but hey, you never know. - Jon

Your guess is as good as mine, my friend. ;) It was probably the last thing added to the game. And it's driven by programming rather than explicitly timed by an animator, which I'm sure is a factor. - Jon
