As someone with ADHD I could not actually parse Beyond Earth's tech web so hopefully they make it significantly more readable

The main problem with beyond earth's web was the UI, I think. If they designed it better maybe I could actually understand it

I hope the Iroquois are in VI and are significantly better

Does that mean we should remove America, too, since England's already in?

(Just to clarify, I don't think we need a Canadian civilization either but this is a really bad argument against it.)

What's wrong with a pentagon or even a decent heptagon instead?

equilateral pentagons can't tessellate

It also triggers if they don't like you or if you're way ahead

As much as this thread will complain about everything wrt Civ VI, about 90% of it will still buy the game at or near launch

I like how expressive/cartoony they are but yeah that is not a good Cleopatra design at all

I like the map/gameplay graphics and the leaders' graphical style is fine, but a lot of the leaders' actual designs are bad

There's a very good a rather well-known book called Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed which has a fair bit about the Norse settlements on Greenland and their interactions with the Inuit. The full text is here: https://archive.org/stream/CollapseHowSocietiesChooseToFailOrSucceed/Collapse-_How_Societies_Choose_to_Fail_or_Succeed_djvu.txt

Of note (and also with a mention of iron):

Because that'd be the only civ unless you started interpreting civilization very liberally.

Beyond Earth isn't necessarily bad, at least, not in the same way vanilla CiV was. It's just really loving boring, and miasma is dumb, and I have ADHD and literally can't read the tech web

Civ threads have a similar spiral to the Mass Effect one. The only thing left is for someone to mention Alpha Centauri and the circle will be complete.

Anyway I'm still watching gameplay videos from weeks ago so you can bet I'll be playing it day one until my eyes bleed.

Every single thread on this forum that runs for some period of time has a traceable spiral
