The Modern Age livestream - new leader, Harriet Tubman

[chaosprophet]

Reddit did some research. It’s not CFC indeed.

I see. So in reddit, and possibly on youtube comments considering how those tend to go. Glad I don't frequent reddit on a regular base not the civ one in particular.

This is why I stick to r/pourover...

Reddit actually seems pretty accepting towards her. YouTube went about as “well” as I expected…

Why am I not surprised for Tubman? haha

Wasn't it leaked before this that she was going to be featured?

Timeframe of game developments.
Don't forget that in the same demonstration clip there's also Benjamin Franklin. which he evolved the USA through Normandia. The seat is at Rouen rather than Districts of Columbia.

At first I think Marine is generic unit, being the final evolutions of Infantry lineage. (It was when I went to bed last night. 2:00 AM Bangkok Time). Now it is American UU.
And America has Cuirassier. Not what I expected.
Don't forget that the United States of America NEVER raises a single regiment of cuirassier. All US Cavalry before AFVs were all armorless. and modelled after US Dragoon.

Isn't any new addition a good addition into the roster? There will be plenty of time (and DLC's) to add well known figures.
Sure, one can debate the choice of numbers that leader reflects into gameplay.
Her model also looks rather good.

Oh, only now I fully parsed your post. So reddit was commenting on the dislikes from youtube, and not that the dislikes were on Reddit.

 

[Potworny]

I'm guessing you mean somewhere else? Cause here while there is a little bit, it was mostly people liking her addition and a few just preferring she was the only America one instead of two.

Oh, this forum is an absolute joy to read honestly, Reddit is alright, Youtube is arguably tolerable for the most part except for edgy memes, but the former Twitter is now an unmoderated cesspool that I imagine ***** is like. Actually, scratch that, I checked ***** and the rhetoric on X is incredibly close with the amount of slurs per comment and obsession on non-white and non-male people being included anywhere.

I don't know what this is, a culture war or something - I'm just tired, but there are people more affected and actually harmed by whatever this is going on. So I'm not in that bad of a situation - today I just can't enjoy my favourite video game series revealing new content in peace.

Her model, animations, and voice acting are some of my favorites in the game. (On which note, very disappointed but not remotely surprised that Franklin does not speak Colonial American English.)

At 0.44 of that reveal, isn't that flag a Hohenzollern Coat of Arms? Might be too red, but otherwise it fits Germany.
EDIT:
Her agenda is very situational, and I would assume she will hate almost everyone in Antiquity.

A lot of people pointed that out, although there are also skeptics due to IPs having white as one of their base colors.

Reading the youtube comments does bring back memories for when Amanitore was revealed for the first time. It is like the opposite of nostalgia.

Timeless advice.

Try not to let it get you down. It's never fun to see anybody at their worst, but there are still lots of good people in the world, and even some (lots?) of the people ranting in Twit-land aren't as bad in real life as they (for some reason) like to pretend they are online.

Started to read some of them.
It's actually amusing, just missing some snacks.

With how movement works the bonus to move through vegetated tiles could be quite powerful.

And whatever you do, DON'T go on Twitter!

Whenever I see something like this, I laugh inside.

I don't go on ANY social media.
I have no Twitter, X, Facebook, YouTube, or any other account. I am sort of active on a couple of Discord servers and one - count 'em, ONE - Reddit thread. Period.

Why?

Because I'm really, really not interested in anybody else's inane opinions - I have enough of my own, thank you - and I don't care what cute thing anybody else's dog, cat, child, or coral snake has done and I don't particularly want anybody else to know what I am doing every frogsnarking moment of the day or night.

I also don't carry a cell phone of any kind because that just gives any yahoo in the world permission to interrupt my life at any moment, and I don't give that permission.

And I am much, much more content for all that . . .

Every non-nerd I talk to about this choice doesn't believe it when I inform them and then barfs when they find out it's true.

Moderator Action: This is inappropriate, please stop trolling. leif

Horrible, horrible choice.

Twitter is much more aligned with the average person, generally and on this particular point especially. (polls do show a near-perfect left-right split amongst twitter users)

Do you and your friends vomit on the sight of liberated black slaves or just women or black leaders in general? It's an important distinction!

I don't know if I'll play Tubman (maybe Songhai - America might be a fun path) but I'm glad that some people are triggered over her. It's funny she made it on to Civ franchise before a US $20 bill lol

 

[King Flevance]

I don't mind Tubman, she is an interesting personality. However, reading through this thread made me realize how much more I would have preferred MLK. But that is probably due to him being one of my top favorite philosophers. I hope he makes in Civ at some point since we are leaning out of historic political office requirements. For that matter, I would like to see Joan de Arc's inclusion again. But I don't mind Tubman's inclusion, I just am not excited about it. Her personality and voice actor add a unique charm that I like.

I do want to throw in some favor for ol' Ben Franklin though. He is a good choice and I am happy about his inclusion as well, for my tastes, though I am also not exactly excited. He has taken a couple lashings in here surprisingly. This new leader choice is quite different so it will be interesting to see where it develops.
