PC Power Play (Aus) interview with Ed Beach

[Eagle Pursuit]

Didn't Ed say in some video where he explained how they chose the BNW civs that the decision for Morocco was heavily influenced by his daughter going on vacation there and sending nice pictures?
There are probably a lot of personal reasons and preferences involved in the selection all the time, and chance as well. Guessing is fun to do , discussing can be fun as well, but there are always unexpected or unknown factors in such a process.

Well, Ed was recently in Germany. Sarah Darney was in Iceland, and it appears that Kevin Schultz is in Canada right now.

 

[liv]

Here we go. Canada finally!!!!!! (just hoping)

I wouldn't mind Morocco back in. And then of course there's Carthage.

 

[Siptah]

I would like to have Morocco back as well. It's not that they don't deserve it. I was just pointing out that the decision might be backed by very subjective factors.

I doubt we will get Morroco. We already have three 'desert' civs, Arabia, Egypt, and Nubia. My preference is for the Zulus and Mongolia.

@Ferocitus

Shrug. That you don't like the manner in which she changed history is immaterial.

She remains a historically significant figure & leader, as justified of a place as anyone who wasn't actually a head of State.

She deserves a card in the religious group, but certainly not
the leadership of an entire civ.

 

[Esperr]

People seem to be really militant about who deserves to be a leader in a game where teddy Roosevelt declares war because you cut down a forest.

OTOH, he did have a lot of say in the running of his nation.
JoA was in communion with sky pixies for a few years and then
was toast.

 

[Mr Jon of Cheam]

Personally I think it's a bit daft to worry about historical accuracy so I'm perfectly happy to have the likes of Catherine De Medici and Joan of Arc, as long as they're interesting to play. I always liked unrestricted leaders, it's something I'd love them to bring back. All hail Gandhi and his massive Spanish empire!

I want Qin of the Aztec empire. Spend builder charges on both ancient and classical wonders as well as districts, with all builders getting an extra charge.

I can imagine there would be some interesting and probably massively overpowered synergies between leader abilities and civ abilities.

 

[fodazd]

Yeah, I mean just imagine Kongo being lead by anyone else.

 

[UWHabs]

Yeah, I mean just imagine Kongo being lead by anyone else.

On the flipside, you could have Mvemba of Russia, with a specialty district that you're not allowed to build.
