Tiny Civ VI update just landed

[Noble Zarkon]

1.3 mb update just landed and game version is now 1.0.12.31 (859676), I'm guessing a bug fix??

@Laurana Kanan

Edit: Just realised the version history doesn't include the Chinese pack so game version likely went up with that rather than this tiny update.

 

[tedhebert]

Same here... hope it's not just a launcher fix

That's the version number that went live with the Chinese Pack. It appears to be some kind of hotfix for something?

Well, I know at least one change. Apparently some people in China were angry about Yongle.

It used to say "let none speak ill of you, because histories can be rewritten." (or something extremely similar).
This is in keeping with what is on Yongle's wiki page about rewriting history as emperor:

They removed that last piece. Very interesting that they hotfixed an intro quote.

They also cut off Sean Bean's version of it as well, FWIW ...

I anticipate some very hot takes on r/civ over this.

 

[AntSou]

This is really weird.

Since when do they do hotfixes? And to "hotfix" THAT?

Apparently some people in China were angry about Yongle.

What's the reasoning for being angry about that?

Yeah, they didn't hotfix the "Builder" when it's supposed to be "Builders" (re getting an extra charge), but they hotfixed Yongle.
I can't imagine who possibly got upset about the idea that a leader of China might try to rewrite history.

Oh, wait ...

 

[AntSou]

And the speed with which they did it as well...

Amazing. It seems like they do have the capacity to fix minor issues in very short notice

But only if it pleases the CCP. Pretty messed up priorities.

I don't see anything yet -- I'm not a redditor; feel free to pass it along to them if you'd like!

I am very upset that Cyrus is portrayed as a conniving, backstabbing schemer. Where's my hotfix, Firaxis? What's that? I'm not a major market known for its kneejerk censorship? Well.

 

[UWHabs]

They were just staying true to him, rewriting the history of his intro.

Sounds like you need a Cyrus persona.

 

[blackbutterfly]

What's the reasoning for being angry about that?

China is very sensitive about how "western" media portray Chinese history.
Mostly it's movies but I suppose games fall into that category.

Even Marvel's Shang Chi was blocked in China because of the Mandrin AFAIK.
The Mandrin has been portrayed as an evil Hitler like figure that has disgruntled China.

Marvel even went so far as to change the comic book Mandrin (supposedly Shang Chi's father) to something else.

Still China blocked it.
And they have some laws to do so.

Last thing 2K+Firaxis want is to block sales of Civ VI in China...especially having released a Rulers of China pack,
giving China the most number of rulers and personas of any civ in Civ VI.

I know, but I was curious which part is actually offending them.

Is it like TheGrumpyBuddha says and they just want to avoid drawing attention to the idea of a Chinese leader rewriting history? Or is the CCP involved in rewriting the history of Yongle and want to omit that aspect from the history books and any media?

Burning histories is also apparently an option for Chinese leaders.

 

[Kupe Navigator]

What's the reasoning for being angry about that

China has habit of rewriting history and claiming neighborhood nations history as their own (e.g Korea) they even claimed Kimchi and Hanbok ( Korean traditional clothing) as their own.

 

[Kupe Navigator]

Still kinda disappointed at how cowardly Fraxis is being.
I can accept China having most leaders but THIS?
Being a chicken at small insignificant complaints by Chinese and "fixing " it above every other problems in this game?

Great. Can I now expect Japan's AI not to forget it has a builder unit beached on a faraway land for the balance of a game?
