I'd play a challenge of the month if the reward was Civ 7 news. That's about it

Huh I wonder what difficulty he's playing on? On Settler or Chieftan it almost feels like the AI tries not to win

I think the only game I enjoyed playing scenarios in was Civ II. I found the WWII and Civil War scenarios fun. In fantastic worlds I also enjoyed some of the off-the-wall game modes like Santa Is Coming which was really just different christmas themed sprites instead of the regular sprites...

Would be nice to get the leader's pass on Android/Google Play now that it's been done for iOS

I don't think Beyond Earth did much of anything particularly well so can't say I'm bothered Civ VII wouldn't be created by the same lead devs. It was kind of fun for one or two playthroughs but didn't have anything to keep you coming back for more

Ah true I always forget how lousy Civ V was upon release. I would definitely consider it to be the worst if you only evaluated the base games. Luckily the expansions did a lot of heavy lifting to make it worth coming back to

Hey now don't sell Civ 3 short

Civ V is his favorite in the series. He ranked the Civ games and said of V, "It’s a game so good I reviewed it twice." https://kotaku.com/let-s-rank-the-civilization-games-worst-to-best-1842571299 Which is odd since he seems to dislike VI and has now also reviewed that twice lol. :P

Yes, his Calling All Dawns and The Drop That Contained The Sea albums are amazing Standout tracks: Kia Hora Te Marino: Waloyo Yamoni: Would be thrilled to have either of those in a Civ game as well

Well it was a fun surprise to get some (a lot!) of additional content out of the blue. I will see you all once the next Civ game is announced in full and speculation season begins :)

Finished my first game with Ludwig. That ability is crazy. I got so much early tourism off wonders around theater districts after semi-rushing Castles. Easily my fastest cultural victory (although no other Civ really going culture heavy helped). Would've been faster if the damn World Congress...

It's kind of funny to me that a slightly boring ability qualifies as "controversy." If this is the reaction to an underwhelming ability I can't imagine what would happen if Korea had a meme for a leader (like India's nuclear Gandhi) or if their leader was portrayed as deceitful and essentially a...

There are no words in the English language that would adequately express the depth of my disappointment if the announcement for the next Civilization game was merely for a spin-off series or a sequel to Beyond Earth. It's already been the longest time between numbered sequels in the series'...

Hoping March 28th we hear the words "Civilization VII"

They're really laying into Ludwig here haha. He wasn't very good at ruling and probably wasn't the best person, but hey! He was a dreamer!

Ability: Swan King - Grants Culture to Wonders that are adjacent to districts (+2 per adjacent district) even if they are unfinished. All culture adjacency bonuses provide tourism after discovering Castles.

Maybe this is just because I'm looking at my phone under direct sunlight but at least they all look better than Ramses? Not exactly a high bar I know. Very excited to learn more though because this is the pack I was looking forward to most when the pass was announced.

I think 6-7 cities is much more reasonable by turn 100 and there's nothing punishing you for continuing to build more after that unlike in Civ 5. From what I've read any city that you can get to at least 4 population before the game ends can be considered worth it. Which is a pretty easy thing...

I'm by no means an expert but for religious victories you're obviously going to want to be generating a ton of faith. If you can get a pantheon that generates passive faith from features within your empire or from holy site adjacency then you'll be off and running For founder belief, often...

Yes, theyre eliminated. If it's their only city so far then it will be their capital and you'll be forced to keep it as you can't raze capitals. Technically they could come back if another Civ took the city from you and liberated the city to its founder - which would bring them back from the...
