Marathon is bar none the absolute best way to play Civ. Roast me.
The problem with him is the game would be banned in Germany, at least, which is a major gaming market.Hitler should be a playable leader for Germany. Yes he is awful, yes nazis are bad but it is history and Stalin Mao etc have been in the game and they were butchers as well.

IIRC we used to have Winston Churchill in one of the civ games., and I think also Eisenhower as a mod, along with DeGaule. Perhaps that was Civ V.He is available as a mod.
Apart from the ban in Germany, the reasons he shouldn't be in the standard version are:
(a) He is far too recent.
(b) He didn't do much apart from one big try at a DV before rage quitting by firing a bullet into his own brain. Whatta noob!
Space Aliens or Martians? Need a stargate or two. I'll settle for a better AI.El Dorado and King Solomon's Mines should return in Civ VI as natural wonders (and a few mythological natural wonders can be added as well).
The irony of this is you're actually replying to the thread's OP, and the "whole concept" you're relying on was never actually mentioned by them. Folks are mostly respecting these opinions as a matter of course, but it's kinda funny that the one time the thread's creator responds, you go off at them for being "triggered"I could have sworn this thread was about unpopular opinions and the whole concept was to not refute or argue with them. You must have gotten triggered pretty extensively here. You are like the third out of like 200 comments to straight up go to blows with an OP.

Lol I am OP of this thread
And I have never written that they should not be argued with or refuted, discussion is fun
You sound like the kind of men who think being rude is being brave and honest

Want another level on the disaster intensity button.
Level 5 would be:
- Cattle produce cow farts raise CO2 emissions, warm planet.
- Population growth raises CO2, warms planet.
- Cutting Trees heats planet.
- Physical activity warms planet.(Working tiles against nature.)
- Thinking requires food so is severely limited.(Campus is against nature.)
- Being alive requires food so growing food is severely limited as people produce CO2 and warm planet.
- When threshold is reached you have to stop all population growth and all kill off your population to save the planet.
- Player wins who has last person standing; then dies as that is the end of civilization and you've saved the planet.
- Rewards for fastest accomplishment
- Earth sings a happy dance at the end.
I hate the way the game plays by the Modern eras. Would rather stop at about Industrial Age.
You just slug it out.I hate the way the game plays by the Modern eras. Would rather stop at about Industrial Age.
And a modded Hitler is just fine. I even played him. Even better I had an epic air war (and naval war) with Winston Churchill. This was actually an ancient start game on a TSL ynamp Earth map, but I didn't start expanding until ww2 era techs started coming on line. And yes they did build lots of spitfires, and gave me some challenges. Got pretty easy after that though, and I quit.
Problem with such a leader is the tendency of Firaxis to make all the leaders cutesy and somewhat likeable. Even Genghis. I don't think people would like it if Firaxis "humanized" Hitler in any way, even though I disagree with people dehumanizing and making him into some kind of monster (we must acknowledge many people have the capability of evil when they achieve positions of power, you see it often with CEO's like CBS CEO). So Firaxis showing leader art of Hitler being silly and maybe playing with his German Sheppard probably wouldn't go down well. Though I would love to see the Downfall meme video when you declare war on him.
