DRAGONS!!!

[Lazy sweeper]

When will we see Dragons in civ???

Will Dragons be literal Dinosaurs, survived from Jurassic times up untill recently, or...
Dragons are a form of collective psycosis, a lliteral interpretation of the Electric Universe theory
that identified giant plasma arcs as Dragons, and those carved the surface of the Earth, with
spectacular features like the Great canyon, and millions others???

How would Dragons look in Civ if ever???

The Dragon in Chinese Culture | The Royal Mint

The dragon is the fifth animal in the zodiac cycle and is considered China’s most important cultural symbol. Seen as possessing magical powers, the Chinese dragon is much more benevolent than the fire-breathing monsters of Western culture.

Definitely not in the campaign mode, possibly in some fantasy scenario.

Your best hope would be mods

You mean there is Mnangazinka hidden in Africa???
Nor Mnukukele in the Amazon rainforest???

Not even a giant Octupus with Dragons like tentacles hiding in the depth of the Atlantic Ocean waiting for those Yummy caravels???
No rivers and valleys, canyons generation with Mandelbrot or Lichtenberg patterns at the End of each Age with the release of giant Electric Storms???

We only need weather simulation afterall XD

Awwww...

The limiting factor could be the unit models. Back when games used 2d images making a mod was not a full time job.

A few unbusted fog tiles, especially early in ExAge, could have "here there be dragons" images on them.

Actually I want 'Dragoons'. yes. as Light Cavalry that upgrades to Landships, faster and cheaper than Cuirassiers (but weaker).
which Cossacks replaced them (I don't really like that actually, because IRL Cossacks existed alongside Dragoons. And Russian Dragoons were no less inferior than Cossacks, Infact Russian Dragoons were Peter I's Trump Cards he famously used against Swedes to the great effect).

In Sim Earth, there was asteroids impact mechanics that completely reshaped the terrain, but didn't simulate the electric energy differential explosion upon
contact of two objects, as observed in REAL world, and not some 'FANTASY' scenario, when a space probe was launched directly into an asteroid, and, as
the scientists of the Electric Universe predicted (Wal Thornhill specifically) the impact was preceded by a massive flash, i.e. the electrical charges exchange
amongst the two objects, few milliseconds prior to the supposed impact that should have formed a crater. No crater was formed after the impact; in fact, the
space probe got completely disintegrated with the flash exchange of electrical charges. It left however a lichtenberg pattern on the asteroid surface where the impact
should have occured.

Another game that has asteroids impact simulation is Worldbox. But it is actually earthquakes that reshape the terrain with a lichtenberg overlay.
The use of the lore word 'Dragons' could be used in parallel to massive reshaping events of the surface of the earth-map, thus accepting fantasy
has always been part of our understanding of nature, althought in poetical or religious form, prior to the Scientific revolution, and still keep its veil
of fantastic yet amongst NASA and the general public, because it's easier to frown away possible dangerous rewriting of history, than to accept
what a simple experiment in space has yet again proven, the effectiveness of the Electrical Universe theories as highly superior to gravitational bradisism.

I don't know about Dragons, but I would like to see a mode or Future Age with Mechas (Giant Death Robot) and futuristic units combatting Kaiju (Kong, Godzilla, Ghidorah, Mothra) or an Alien Infestation (Aliens and Predators) or Eldritch Gods emerging from the sea and earth (Cthulhu). Of course the titans, aliens or gods need to differ a bit from known creatures that appeared in movies because of copyright infringement.

Future Age big bot unit should be things like what featured in Mobile Suit Gundam series

And now for something completely different!
