GamePro Preview

Isn't it both, it's a game preview comment thread. We also don't have a lot to talk about because they're leaving things cryptic.

So?

The whole point is to discuss every1s views on the mechanics they're showing. NOT the "leaders", go to another thread if u want to talk about leaders, THERE'S WAY TOO MANY ALREADY! This right here is y the game designers cant even get things right, most of the gamers dont even think about discussing gameplay till its too late, then and ONLY then do people get fumed over the problems these games have...:mad:

Ty for the people that stick to the topic:D.
 
City-states
- City-states: Can provide gifts of gold, bonuses; only one city but borders can grow. Confirmed is Singapore.

I cant wait to see how this really plays out... This should be very intersting, that all of a sudden they put in something else to fight for (with the added resource change), especially since the states might actually cover up some resources and if rand mapping is still here then some might hold chokepoints:rolleyes:...
 
.............(China) China leader: Wu Zeitein/Zetein (two spellings in the article; SHOULD be Wu Zetian) (Mao and other previous Chinese leaders are out)............

Could Sid Meier please provide 1-2 more leaders for China to be chosen?? Wu Zeitein, she is the only one "female king" in China history, add her to the game is good, but "Qin Shi Huang" can represnt China more. Could Sid Meier keep him "Qin Shi Huangdi" in CIV V...?
 
No, not at this time. There is only one leader per civ at this point (and probably it will remain so until a future expansion).
 
@HKer

Wu Zetian is a pretty cool character imo. and she has many more reasons to be added to the game than for being the only female king (adding someone cuz she's female is a pretty crappy reason imo).

Shi Huang did provide the foundation upon which China was built, what with all his unification of writing, wheel sizes, so on and so forth, but it's under Wu Zetian during the Tang dynasty that China really flourished. Shi Huang may have been important but, now that I think about it, Wu Zetian feels like the more appropriate person to be granted the title "leader".

Edit: eh, you're from china. You should be pretty familiar with this subject as well.
 
Wu Zetian is definitely uncalled for... I wasn't quite expecting them to pull that one off. She has some remarkable characteristics that stand out from the countless hundreds of emperors in Chinese history. One being the obvious: she's a woman and the only ruling Empress in China. Period. That is a first and only ever. The second was managing to stay in power for so long as a women, debatable if that is ever notable. Thirdly, she made gender more equal in her time.

Of course, many of these traits can be overshadowed by many more great leaders in China. I won't really get into the Mao argument; but he is a genuinely liked leader in China and did a lot. This was more true in the beginning when he didn't start making nearly as much mistakes and making a cult of himself later on. Blah blah blah. So on.

In the end, it doesn't bloody matter because its the developer's choice and there's more important things to worry about than arguing who should be the leader in a freaking video game.
