Personally, I don't care about historical justifications. I like canada and the canadian ppl a lot so I'm happy they made it into the xp. Hope they get a decent trait combo, too.

Hitti-Litti · Jun 08, 2007, 04:14 AM

If no historical achievements are needed then why should Canada be included? Why not Botswana, Tajikistan or Micronesia?

There needs to be some requirements for a civ to be included.

Archduke Otto · Jun 08, 2007, 04:41 AM

Shigga, what you say tells me that Canada is definately in. Is that so?

Gaius Octavius · Jun 08, 2007, 07:43 AM

I have not seen any evidence that Canada is in.

Jondalar · Jun 08, 2007, 08:40 AM

Well, if there is a WWII scenario I sure hope Canada is in that, at least. They were a huge player in the D-Day invasion at Juno beach, and I know this to be a source of fierce pride in many Canadians (having relatives there myself).

Despite the view (in the US at least) that Canada hasn't really done anything, I would say that the above at least should give them some role in the WWII scenario.

And if Canada ever makes it in, can we have hockey arenas as the UB?

Well, I did understand Canada was to be included, but I may be mistaken.

sneaky · Jun 08, 2007, 11:09 AM

Liechtenstein is in. You heard it here first.

...

Of course Canada isn't in.

And we haven't got any new information for days. Right now, it's just waiting for tidbits.

Hello Everyone!

This is my first post ever. I have two questions about BTS.

1) Will you need Vista to play it?
2) I know there are only a few Civs left, but could Scotland have any chance of appearing? In past Civ's they weren't included and I was wondering it they might appear.

Welcome RPGary!!
I seriously doubt you'll have to have Vista to play it. I also hope Scotland make it with Malcolm II as leader.

RPGary · Jun 08, 2007, 12:19 PM

I'm hoping for William Wallace

Thedrin · Jun 08, 2007, 12:27 PM

I suspect that the best you could hope for would be James I of Scotland/James V of the United Kingdom of Great Britain.

James V of Scotland/ James I of England

Uh, yeah. Not thinking straight.

The WW2 Artillery is not really that modern. I think I would like a WWII mobile artillery Unit as well. I also want artillery to have a range greater than one square. I know what a square represents but still Iowa can launch an impressive broadside with radar that can go further than what a crusier can launch and they can still only strike at the one square. Artillery was seriously nerfed in Civ IV. I used to use it all the time to aid my units in C3C before Air Power and sometimes after but now in Civ IV it is like what is the point? Even before Airpower it is useless, as you just fling enough units at a city and all defenders will eventually get destroyed. This is one of those things that I will have to look at modding back in and hope the AI understands the increase in Artillery Range. It needs to be so close to the action even in modern ages that it can be destroyed quite easily. Artillery never was intended, at least in WW2 to be quite close to the front-lines and what is with Artillery being able to be flung against units in a city? The mechanics of artillery were useful in C3C no matter what people say and now it has become fairly useless.

Canada, Poland and Australia are good, I also want:

Finland
Bulgaria
Turkmenistan
Tajikistan
Chile
Belarus
Fiji
Philippines

[end sarcasm]

Hitti-Litti · Jun 09, 2007, 04:11 AM

Of those above Poland is good, proofed by many reasons give in several threads. I'm not so patriotic that I would wave the flag for Finland.

actually according to http://www.gamespot.com/pc/strategy/...&mode=previews
3rd paragraph down does mention spies so unfortunatley they might be in

Gaius Octavius · Jun 09, 2007, 12:48 PM

Whenever I see flamingzaroc and Hitti-Litti next together I laugh. (Those of you who don't know why probably weren't here for that avatar bit...

)

I'm getting tired of saying this, though. John Shafer, lead programmer of Civ 4 and BtS, has said himself that ninjas are NOT in the game. "They're not technically ninjas," he said. Spies are in, ninjas are not. So we can put our minds at ease.

Actually according to a recent survey, Canadian Children prefer to play Soccer rather then Hockey. SO that can change quite quickly.
