Ive already pre loaded civ 6 through steam. Can i still refund it and do the gmg thing?

I just did it. The refund was approved within a couple of hours.

Had to manually delete the first pre-load, but there wasn't any problem activating the GMG key and pre-loading again.

lol I assume it's just an incidental speck on the map, but this makes it look like the Isle of Mann is under an embargo like Iran and North Korea are.

Anyway I was planning to hold off on this until a sale, or at least until some reviews were in, but I'm clearly not going to do so and will be preordering imminently with money I most certainly do not have :downs:

Also just refunded my Steam store standard edition and got the GMG deluxe one, with the keys sent instantly. There was even more of a discount when I signed in, so I've only paid £2 extra over the Steam standard. With these discounts they must be crazy!

For those who don't want to read the whole thing, it boils down to "I don't know why they can't play, they used to have an embargo but don't anymore so hopefully they get the game soon!"

I was hoping he would reveal Ali Khamenei's CivFanatics username and whether he was angrier about having Catherine De Medici as the leader of France or 1UPT still being a thing.

I always wear my wedding ring. It's my trademark.

Is there known info about nukes? Except for how they look when they explode.
Do they follow the same rules as other units regarding used resources, so 1-2 uranium and you can build as many as you can afford? What about their range, are there ICBM's?

Lots of questions about nukes.

I don't like nuclear war in Civ5, because there never isn't one. Just 1 or 2 random missiles and that's it. Every now and then I just want to see the world burn.

edit: can you destroy wonders with nukes?

Well if I were him I'd be angrier that Persia wasn't included in the starting roster of civilizations.

On the topic of that there's like no good reason why Persia isn't simply named Iran in Civ.

Hope they do get a non-Achaemenid ruler this time around when they do arrive though.

Not a Canadian, but I think my take on them would involve bonuses with tundra and forest. For a unique unit, probably something relating to their WW2 history, particularly the Canadian part of the Normandy invasions or the liberation of the Netherlands.

An early 20th century infantry soldier might also be fitting. Canadians were actually quite famous as excellent shock troops and combat engineers in the First World War both among their allies and the Germans, so an infantry unit that perhaps has bonuses against fortified units and cities might make sense. Or you could have an earlier mechanized infantry as Canadians essentially invented the modern APC for use with their small highly motorized army.

They don't call it Iran because it's not Iran. It's Persia.

That's like saying it should be Italy instead of Rome.

Iran is not a modern name. Iran is what Iranians have called the country and the empires of that country for more than two thousand years. Persia is a region in Iran and Persians but an ethnic group.

e: The area influenced by Persian language and culture is a much greater area than either Iran or Persia though. Though the extent of this influence is largely not the result of Persian Empires but rather the profusion of Persian culture among Turkish people in the Middle Ages and the rise and fall of many "Persianate" Turkish Empire from the Seljuks to the Timurids and the Mughals.

Specifically, it's the Greeks who called it Persia (well, Persis) as a whole and it stuck around. Iran, Iranzamin (very old) and Iranshahr/Eranshahr (Sassanid-era) are more names for it. It really isn't new.

It will probably never be called anything but Persia in Civ though.
