As a Canadian I completely agree with the idea that Lithuania would be deserving of inclusion in Civilization before Canada. Something reflecting their history of paganism, or their fight against the Teutonic order could make them an interesting civ to play. Everytime somebody brings up ideas...

I refuse to participate in this SHAM of a contest when you plebs have already eliminated Bismarck's peace theme. It's absolutely gorgeous and tragic and builds to such a wonderful point where it sounds like a calm before the storm, of the blood and steel to come. It's perfect for a nation with a...

It sounds neat, but for the gov't who stole the art to then display it in their own museums seems a bit ridiculous. However, on another note, it would be cool if you could demand the return of artifacts excavated by foreign archaeologists or great works plundered by conquerors.

The Dutch, and every goddamn time William will betray me at the end of the game where it's certain I'm about to win.

Ugh, it's never a lump sum that they need to get out of a bind, it's always a percentage of your entire economic balance. It's infuriating to always have to deal with civs asking for handouts.

The music in-game of course! Michael Curran and Geoff Knorr did such a great job with the new themes in BNW, and maintained the terrific standard they had set with G&K and vanilla CiV. Indonesia's peace theme is banging, especially.

Copyright on a Soviet monument? Is it just me or is that painfully ironic. I realize that with regime change and the fall of the USSR, things like this can happen, but still.

Pedro II is my hero. Such a complicated individual, and a great leader.

How do timezones work with this sorta deal? Herald says he's getting the key at 12:22 his time, it's 11:16 my time, so will i get mine at 12:22 my time as well?

They shot JFD? I was aware that there were a lot of people vehemently against Venice being in BNW, but that seems a bit much.

I had just crawled out of bed, with sleep still in my eyes, popped onto Reddit and saw the headline announcing the xpack, then clicked on the announcement article, then tried and failed to make out Casimir from his murky leaderscreen, then went to school. It was a good day.

Dang, I would have definitely enjoyed that big a game changer. It seems silly that you can plunk down a tiny little settlement that is somehow capable of holding off moderately sized armies. This would mean that wars are settled on the battlefield, not around sieges, speeding up the course of...

They need to bring back Motherland Calls in some future DLC or something, the same way the Civil War scenario got canned and came back in BNW. I would love to see the 3D model in the world, such a glorious monument.

What happened to the Motherland Calls??? Is the International Space Station considered to be one of the 8 wonders, or is it a "project" like the World Fair or Olympic Games? There's still questions left unanswered and we're so close to release. I suppose some surprises need to be left for...
