But again you run into issues with defining terms like "modern" which are, again, entirely culturally dependent. For example, historians in 1500 wouldn't have referred to it as such, nor would they in the year 3000. There's also the issue of "Early Modern Period" being overly vague and hard to...

Well firstly, I think the issue of ages is pretty easily rectifiable. Either the ages could be renamed (e.g. iron age then steel age, or any other resource to represent the medieval era), or just kept as separate canon to real life history. For example, AFAIK Ancient Greece predominantly used...

Thanks! Another idea I've had is to completely revamp the cultural victory as well, since it's currently lacking. My ideal victory is inspired by the way culture and ideology interfaced in Civ 5 - i.e. civs with different government systems cause cultural pressure on each other, and culturally...

Under the government/politician system I talked about, each civ would need a lot more individual work than in previous games (as rather than having one leader, they would have at least dozens of different politicians). So I would assume the total number of civs would be somewhat reduced, maybe...

Yep, unfortunately it's difficult to make a realistic economy work and also be enjoyable/easy to understand. I think it's intuitive that a stronger economy = a stronger currency and vice versa, but this of course doesn't apply to the real world. The rest of my post still stands, though. Edit...

I just made a thread on my thoughts about a Civ 7: https://forums.civfanatics.com/threads/my-ideal-civilization-7.659421/ It's very wordy but it goes over everything from completely revamped combat to AI alliances, currencies, taxation, government systems, etc. Would love to hear people's thoughts.

New-ish to this site, wanted to write down my jumbled ideas for a future civ game and hear other people's thoughts. Thanks for reading! Ages and Strategic Resources: In order to clear up the confusion regarding the names of eras (e.g. "Renaissance" and "Modern" making no sense), I think that...

Is there a significant difference between the mass murder of civilians in a different country and the mass murder of civilians in your own country? I don't think western states are criticised at all, let alone at a high level - if you tally up the number of deaths caused by the United States...

Oh whoops, my mistake, I misread it as Che Guevara and got confused :crazyeye: But still, it begs the question: if Castro was murderous on the scale of (what google tells me) about 11,000 people, then surely nations like the US would also be considered 'murderous'? Given, for example, the 1.35...

I think there is some bias here about the word 'evil'. Why isn't Washington considered, for example, since he owned hundreds of slaves and ordered the deaths of Indians? Why aren't any British monarchs considered, having resided over slavery and the deaths of millions of subjects? If Pol Pot is...
