Inspired by a discussion in another thread, I thought it might be fun to poll the CivFanatics on how they play Civ, specifically how they identify with their own choices and with their opponents during a standard game.
These are often different, which leads us to six archetypes, i.e. you might see yourself as playing one of the leaders but consider your opponents to be the civs, or vice versa. Which one are you, and how does this impact your view of Civ VII? For example, I am The Narcissist, which means I am quite comfortable with decoupled leaders and civ switching, happy with the number of civs per Age, but a bit annoyed by the diplo screen showing my leader and miss the old days when you could choose your leader's name.
Some disclaimers:
- This is meant to be fun, not science. I understand that it is all a spectrum, of course, but I would think most of us would lean more towards one category than the rest. If you are something else entirely then I'd love to hear it!
- Please excuse the terrible names, that's just me having a bit of fun, what's a guy to do on the train into work?
The Social Historian
My civ vs other civs: I am Greece and my mortal enemy is Rome
The Everyman
My civ vs other leaders: I am Greece and my mortal enemy is Augustus
The Dictator
My leader vs other civs: I am Machiavelli and my mortal enemy is Rome
The Great Hero
My leader vs other leaders: I am Machiavelli and my mortal enemy is Augustus
The Deity
Myself vs other civs: I am the Supreme Mr Jon of Cheam and my mortal enemy is Rome
The Narcissist
Myself vs other leaders: I am the Supreme Mr Jon of Cheam and my mortal enemy is Augustus
Bonus option: The Psychopath
In a world controlled by AI, I'm the only human left. They want to rewrite human history and I need to stop them and prove once and for all what really happened in the last 6000 years
