My name is John. I have played all the civilization games since 1995.
I remember civilization II when you could build 250 cities and empires echoing the true past with the genuine city names for those ancient empires. You could build roads, railroads and irrigations that looked like true roads, railroads, irrigations. I remember civilization IV when you could build monster-armies with 40 units all on the same spot. You could move them immediatly and the number of cities were large. The true names of the empire's cities were according to history. The outlook of the leaders were noble and correct.
What do we have now? Civilization VI. Cartoonish junkies are supposed to look like ancient leaders. They look like psychopathic drunks all of them. You cannot move a unit two tiles for 200 years!! You cannot even move several units at the same spot. The cities for Jagellonian Poland for example did not include Szczecin or Wroclaw. They belonged to Prussia/Austria in those days and were named Stettin and Breslau. Lisbon was not a city state but a part of the Portuguese colonial empire. Germany in the past did not end at the Oder/Neisse line but included Königsberg, Stettin, Breslau for example. There was no Canadian or Australian empire, they were part of the British empire until the middle of the 20th century. The native americans or the polynesians did not start an advanced civilization. I do not know how much fake news and ignorant gibberish the American billionaires have consumed. But they ought to study history and learn how to program bigger maps and learn how to stock more than one unit at the same tile. The history of humanity deserves something grand and epic. Not some cartoonish idioteque.
