[GS] Livestreamer Previews Discussion Thread

It makes me wonder if there is a market for civ streaming with minimal commentary and letting the leader animations and whatever play out in full rather than speed racing and endless jabbering.

Weirdly enough it's called Devils Tower in the German version.

But it is called Devils Tower, isn't it?

In the English version, they used a Native American name. In the German version, they used the English name.

I'm happy with the Native American name, and wish efforts to officially change it had been successful.

It seems disrespectful to refer to something with culture and religious significance to the natives as something of the devil.

I get it: they can't talk and play Civ at the same time . . .

But can they chew gum and play civ at the same time?

It's actually devils as in plural. I think it was a mistranslation or something. I believe mistranslated from bad gods.

I'll try to catch up on some new videos today. For those deeply familiar with the civs, did you notice any significant changes with the old civs descriptions posted above?

There is a difference? Thought it was interchangeable, like Canada and the US, or Russia and the US, or Israel and the US.

I cackled.
 
Looks like Quill will get the Nobel Peace Prize for being a warmonger. hehe.

Yeah it's strange you get 200 diplomatic favor for winning a military emergency against you. I know we all complained about the gold from thin air, but the diplomatic favor is strange too, especially when it results in you winning the Nobel Peace Prize. The joke in the comments is you win Nobel Peace Prize for being acting like Hitler.

Well, "to the victor go the spoils" and so forth. If you win a conflict you gain diplomatic power.

I think we've already surmised that Favor is mislabeled. It should be called Influence. And you can have diplomatic Influence by threat of force.
