I think Bast is saying that this is indeed happening, just with the sarcastic inflection of “not this/not that.”There aren’t? That is surprising
Ah, I’ve never seen this used in print, only spoken. I assumed they weren’t a native English speaker lolI think Bast is saying they this is happening, just with the sarcastic inflection of “not this/not that.”

There were factions in Beyond Earth?I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again; the future age civs should just be the factions from Beyond Earth,
The design of the Civ could, however, be used to point out the continuity between Imperial Russia and the Soviet Union.I’ll say this. I don’t think Russia’s inclusion in the game was ever in doubt. Even people who didn’t think it would be included in base always thought it would be in Crossroads. But some people think that as delusional as they always are that by inclusion currently war crimes by the Russian state are approved or accepted. It’s clear that the game representation is a “modern” but historical Russia. A kind of hybrid representation of Tsarist Russia/USSR. They won’t of course talk about that.
And there are flywheels here. Are these parts of a water pump unit or what?View attachment 715102

Well, I only see Kazan for Russian settlement name in videos, which one did you noticed?I think inclusion of historical Russia surely wasn't a question. The question is probably how it's included. The inclusion of Ukrainian city in the roster (with showing it on the video) and the phrase "Bow before Catherine the Great" really sparked some unnecessary debates.
In one hand, if that city was part of the Imperial Russia at the time, that doesn't really have any big connection with the USRR and current Russia that is more related with Putin wanting Ukraine, then I don't see any ill intent. But at the same time, would probably still be better to not have used it, just like how I think the civs games also don't do things like having USA cities name on a England civ because some of those cities were founded by England while USA wasn't independent, (plus other examples like Portugal with Brazil, etc) which would likely get some Americans angry.I think inclusion of historical Russia surely wasn't a question.

There are also city names on the great works screen shown in the video.Well, I only see Kazan for Russian settlement name in videos, which one did you noticed?
It's awkward, yeah. It is justified in the sense that the Romanovs did settle it, and that it was a crucial Black Sea port to the Russian Empire (alongside Sevastopol and Odesa). It was probably not the best moment to include it on a Russian city list, but from a strict historical perspective it is kosher.Oh, they included Mykolaiv in the city list. I don't like it.

Aha, I missed that Nikolayev(Mykolaiv) on the screen.There are also city names on the great works screen shown in the video.
