I'm also Canadian, and I would prefer Inuit and/or Haida before Canada or more European inclusions.

The poster above me is correct in saying you won't have the same experience, but that doesn't mean it's a bad experience. Here's a few things that change: UNITS and WARFARE: Individual units are, in a sense, less powerful on offense because technology advances quicker, which means you...

Are you kidding me?!?!?! That's all I had to do?!?!?! Someone shoot me. I played 4 games of this and kept restarting... sad sigh

I played my 4th start with Portugal, and for the 4th time I can't build a feitoria because by the time I get my worker to the city-state, they've improved all their coastal tiles. I usually play King or Emperor and each time I play with Portugal, I basically bee-line to the tech with feitoria...

I had a great riddle for this thread about the Songhai, but I forgot what I was supposed to askia. Orange ya going to ask me about my Netherlands jokes? What?! No one is excited about my Netherlands jokes?! Will, i am. This was supposed to be a good contribution to this thread, but as a wise...

It makes me wonder why so many vanilla screens were bland when very clearly some of them received more attention and creativity.

I just double-checked - those were two different days for me...I think? One was my Wednesday, one was my Thursday? So I think my vote is legit?

^ This. There were times I voted at night, and times I voted in the morning (depending on my work schedule, which varies a lot), so some of my gaps would be around 12 hours and some around 36 hours. I interpreted the rule to mean "Once per 24-hour period", not "you cannot cast a vote until 24...

Though I would have put Harald out much earlier (#7 maybe), the rationales given made a TON of sense - I see what makes him unique, and I like him for it. But I am happy Askia won. I was one of his champions back on Page 5 when he was already down to 14 votes. And the way the voters...

Harald Bluetooth - 2 Askia - 3 Huzzah! A technicality! Doctor Doom once again voted without giving rationale for the downvote. Since he left rationale for the upvote, I'm leaving his upvote, but removing his downvote. My votes, of course, are opposite. Harald is a jolly fellow, but a fellow...

Meh - like I said earlier, isn't this basically a 5-way tie? If I had voted last night, Harald would have been out at #3, but I waited until this morning, and the voting was already done. These polls are haphazard at the best of times, but especially wonky near the end! :)

Sukritact, you HAD to see that coming... ;) Consider it a 5-way tie. Bad luck that the Pachacuti haterz got on to vote before others.

I honestly look at this result as the top 5 all being tied because the elimination now will come down to which leaders' haters are allowed to/show up to vote first. Just the way real-time forum voting goes.

Pachacuti 2 (?) - Is this still in or not? (Talcove?) Harald Bluetooth - 7 Disregarding Doom's vote (-1), then adding my downvote (-3) Pacal - 5 Askia 14 Shaka - 4 Disregarding Doom's vote (+3), then adding my upvote (+1) Doom gave no reasons, which are required by the thread. Down Harald for...

I stumbled upon EUIV when I visited MadJinn's channel on Youtube looking for a new civ video. I haven't played it yet, but color me impressed at the plethora of options available to leaders. I'm not saying EUIV is balanced (I haven't played; I wouldn't know), but, yeah, Civ kind of feels like...

Inappropriate quote removed along with the response. Please do not feed the trolls. Report the post and let us handle the poor behavior. Point is, that's no reason to downvote a screen. Especially if it is accurate.

Ashurbanipal - 6 Harald Bluetooth - 9 Pachacuti - 9 Pacal - 10 Askia - 16 Enrico Dandolo - 2 Shaka - 9 I like Harald a lot (and wish Denmark didn't suck so bad), but no background on this one is what makes it the weakest of the remaining civs. Also, his animation isn't as crazy as...

Given the connections between Haida/Salish cultures and the sea, I'd go with: Totem Pole - (replaces Monument) - +2 culture, +1 culture for every sea resource worked, +1 Tourism if there is a University in the city [nod to UBC Museum of Anthropology]

Ashurbanipal - 13 Harald Bluetooth - 15 Pachacuti - 15 Pacal - 15 Askia - 18 Enrico Dandolo- 10 Shaka - 11 These are all good screens, but I gots to vote... Harald takes the wooden spoon today: he looks down on you at an odd angle; it's just him and his ship; I find him to be over-animated...

I can't vote for 5 more hours, but I just noticed that the rationale seems to be getting more thoughtful and precise, and wanted to thank everyone for putting the effort in. It makes for an even better thread, and I've learned a bunch of things from reading, aesthetically and historically!
