DLCs

Who would be a potential leader for an Australian civ? Anyone?

I saw on a previous thread about Australia's leader during World War II. Seemed interesting

 

[Xandinho]

I think Canada should be focused on Diplomacy and Happiness. Australia focused on Gold and Resources. Argentina focused on Culture and Great Person Points

If we get Argentina and Australia, what sort of scenarios, if any would we get? They might be able to pull of a decent WWII scenario with Australia and even without Gran Colombia, there could still be a Latin American Revolution scenario, but what else could there be? Also, who would people rather have for an Argentine leader, Eva Peron or Jose de San Martin?

Can someone please explain the difference between those two leaders?

 

[phaethon16]

Well, Jose de San Martin was the general who liberated Argentina from the Spanish and helped establish the country, while Eva Peron was the woman who helped establish a political system that eventually did away with the caudillos. To me, the choice is between a colonial hero, and a more modern icon. Jose de San Martin would be a Simon Bolivar figure minus Bolivar's dictator tendencies later on in life, and Eva Peron would represent Argentina as it is today as a more successful, mature country. It's sort of like the difference between George Washington and FDR. Personally, I find Eva Peron an intriguing figure, and I think she would be an excellent choice for a female leader, but I was wondering what other people thought.

Now that we know that at least some of the new DLC are map packs, do people still think we're getting more civs?

 

[EricTheGreat12]

nope. I think that they will shortly begin with CIV 6

 

[TPangolin]

I wouldn't necessarily lose hope!

 

[Viregel]

There is still a very, very slim chance that we might get more DLCs. I'm still hoping to get them, but it's incredibly unlikely.

I completely agree with you. I think that the 2 DLCs were their way of saying that CIV 5 is complete

Hoping for Lester B. Pearson if Canada is in, for a diplomacy/WC Civ. Was a minister of External Affairs, president of the 7th session of the United Nations, won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1957, and was the father of modern peacekeeping when he suggested sending forces to Egypt in order to maintain peace during the Suez Crisis. He nearly became the first freaking secretary-general (thus winning Civ IRL) if it weren't for those darned Soviets.

Also, I love that tie.

Me too, unfortunately. I don't see the need for another expansion, but some more DLCs and patches would be greatly appreciated. Too many things to be fixed and balanced.

This, a thousand times over.

I'm, to be perfectly honest, actually surprised they even bothered with a map pack this late in the life of the game. With BNW and, finally, a patch that adjusts Japan and Germany in regards to BNW, I feel that the game is complete. That they released a map pack, after something like 3 full years, is unexpected. Even BNW was something I was slightly surprised by.

At this point, I think they really will shift resources completely and finally away from Civ V. There may yet be a final, much more minor patch down the line for whatever reason, but I expect that this is the end of the line.

I don't see what the release or non-release of DLC have to do with Civ 5 being "complete". If anything, I'd think it was their way of testing the waters to see if people would buy more DLC, now that Civ 5 is more mature. I think it was more likely that they saw people responding positively to the random nature of the Scramble for Africa map and thought they could relatively easily release something which would fill an expressed demand. If Civ IV is used as a precedent, we're not getting any more expansions, but may get a total conversion like Colonization.

People have been talking about Civ VI since before G&K, but IMO Civ V is only now really coming into it's own and fulfilling it's promise. They need new, unique, and compelling ideas to make Civ VI better than IV and V before they make it, or there will be an outcry that they are just money grubbing. Maybe I just missed the posts, but I have yet to hear an idea for Civ VI that is more than just a large bug fix of V or some combination of features from IV and V.

Canada and Australia, huge markets, if they add new civs that is.
