So, my question is, do girls play Civ?
What do they like about it? What do they not like?
I firmly believe that the next version of Civ, Civ6, should be more female-friendly. I say that, because my wife told me to. Some suggestions then, for a female-friendly Civ6.
First off, a new interface colour. Perhaps something lilac; or a restful beige. Feng-Shui should be our guiding light here. Quotations for Advances could from some people like Joan Rivers, or Mae West, or Martha Stewart. Instead of being read by Mr Spock, it could be Dr Spock. (I know, that's an old one).
Difficulty levels would have to be changed: they could go from
Goddess (highest, replacing Deity),
down through Empress,
Princess,
Temptress,
to Girls Just Wanna Have Fun.
We would need some new Leaders, of course: Cleopatra.
Golda Meir.
Indira Ghandi.
Imelda Marcos.
Maggie Thatcher.
Hilary.
And new Leadership Characteristics: Devious.
Vivacious.
Manipulative.
Loyal.
Disloyal.
Excellence at Negotiating.
A new World Wonder could be Contraception. Leads to 50% greater happiness in all cities.
Broadcast Tower could lead to: Soaps; Boy Bands; and Oprah Winfrey.
New City Buildings: Maternity Clinic: plus 10% City Growth
Department Store: plus 10% Coin
Replaced in due course by: Shopping Mall: plus 5% Coin and 5% Happiness
Changes to Research & Techs:
Animal Husbandry would give Yoghurt, and Mayonnaise On Everything.
Chemistry would lead to Make-up, and Pantyhose.
Biology would lead to Jean Therapy, Botox, and Emaciation.
Printing would lead to National Enquirer, Hello!, and Good Housekeeping.
And a new special unit: the Amazon. The Amazon has no weaponry, but seduces opposing units, and renders them inoperative for several turns, until they have fully healed.
Anyway those are my wifes', I mean, my, suggestions for a female-friendly Civ6.
