He is also complaining about how much the game crashes. :(

This concerns me also. I wonder if it's going to be a hardware-specific thing, I haven't noticed the other early access people talking about it. But I haven't seen many of them that late in the game either.

Have any of the streamers played much in strategic view? Obviously that's not their ideal setup for streaming - i'd just like to see it in use for more than 2 seconds.

And can you set your preferences to launch a game in strategic view? My laptop's gonna be chugging along on this.

Here's a look at it in movement for a moment with an additional explanation of why you probably don't see it all that much. People really didn't like watching streamers play Civ V in strategic view because Civ V's strategic view was a lot less interesting

It'd be cool if you could randomly switch between them all (for techs that overlap that is). Don't know if they'd allow the voices to be uploaded, but it could copy from a local copy of Civ 4/5 that you own.

The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.
The first Workshop mod will be a "graphics fix" that's literally just saturation -75%, brightness -30%, and internet autists will now claim that the game is "fixed" and no longer designed for Facebook or iOS kiddie casuals.

The arguments will continue for months.

I was thinking about Civ Rev on the DS and how hilariously easy it was to beat on Deity, then saw that Civ Rev 2 is a thing that's out I could get. Is it worth the ten dollars?

I don't think anyone replied to you, but the answer is a definite no.

It's basically the same game except with a cash shop hamfistedly inserted.

They're already going to have more than one quote for each tech that they'll randomly swap between so that should be possible. Welcome even, in comparison to the day one trump leading america mod that'll happen.

This would probably be a rather difficult mod to make if my understanding of video game graphics is accurate

If I understand correctly each unique luxury increases your city's amenities and each copy allows said amenities to be applied to more cities.

Going off this at least, unless I'm misreading it http://civilization.wikia.com/wiki/Resources_(Civ6)#Luxury_Resources

My only problem with Sean Bean doing the narration is I expect the narrator to die by the end of the game in some form.

I will always miss Nemoy narrating and baba yetu as the opening score, but am willing to settle for others.

Speaking of mods, the only thing they have said about mod support seems to be a small tidbit two months ago about how you will be able to use them in multiplayer. Has there been anything new since then? It would be amazing if they finally decoupled gameplay from UI mods.

Re: Strategic view: It looks amazing, and if they decide to implement 2D units for it, even without any animation, I will never play in 3D again.

Yea, Quill is just so loving cheerful it's endearing. He's not the best player, but the enthusiam and... I dunno... loving joi de'vie or whatever really makes it fun to watch.

Watching some dude like FilthyRobot sperg out for five minutes over proper city placement and meta-gaming horseshit this early is just brain-melting boring.

I generally like his stuff but man he has some of the worst reading compression I have ever seen. It's like if he's skimmed past something once and half understood it then his brain refuses to go back and reread it. Even if he knows he's missing something.

Plays Germany "where am I getting an extra military policy slot from?" Franticly looks through civilipedia, skipping past the first line of Frederick's unique ability at least five times in the process.

Plays Rome "I swear there's something you can build aquaducts next to mountains." Flips through civopedia, ignores the building tool tip that has mountain as the first thing in the list of things an aquaduct can pull fresh water from.

I think Marbozir is the only streamer guy I've watched for this game that I can actually stand for more than a few videos. Can't stand quill's "enthusiasm" (especially considering that he he can actually talk like a normal person, like in older videos he's done) and FilthyRobot settles into this way of talking where his voice just grates on my nerves really badly. He also misses some really obvious stuff because he just doesn't read stuff.

Feeling whiny here but yeah... Marbozir's playthrough is the best one I think. He does a good job of presenting the game while learning the mechanics himself.
