Hi, I am one of your fans of the Sid Meier’s Civilization VI in the UK and I have some questions about your introduction in the game which shows before starting a new game.
From the first stirrings of life beneath water... to the great beasts of the Stone Age... to man taking his first upright steps, you have come far. Now begins your greatest quest: from this early cradle of civilization on towards the stars.
It says that “to the great beasts of the Stone Age... to man taking his first upright steps”, I cannot understand your expression here as it states the Stone Age before the human walk upright. But obviously, human began to walk upright and then to use and make tools. I don’t know what the author wants to express, what the definition of “man” here is, human or homo species?
If you want to show the evolution of human civilization, it is clear that both walked upright and made tools were remarkable events. But comparing this two events, the used of tools is an event that represents the evolution of human civilization than the walk upright, which means the human used and made tools (Stone Age) should be later than the walk upright and the sentence should be put behind the walk upright. In addition, the dinosaur is more representative than the Stone Age mammoth being as the great beasts. Besides, if the sentence just states that “man taking his first steps” but not the “upright steps”, it can express the evolution of civilization and we would not feel as the evolution of life.
In all, the sentence you use in the game introduction is not scientific and precisely. As a game that tries to show the evolution of civilization in the human history, the game tries to be rigorous in every game detail, but the phrases used in the introduction seems not so precisely. As a fan of your game, I want to know what the author wants to express in this phrases and why. As a normal player, I think that it is a controversial sentence here and I hope you can give me a good reply. Thank you.
