Interestingly I like how America is as much of a cultural powerhouse this time around with its unique moviemaking facility. Teddy Roosevelt as a leader representing the U.S. is a long time coming, he was absolutely the coolest pres we ever had.

He fuckin' was, wasn't he? Like one of the few leaders we've had that anyone, regardless of their political alignments, can agree that was a drat fine fella.

My favorite part so far has got to be the art direction they went with re: leaderheads. It almost looks like claymation puppets, it's good poo poo.

Roosevelt is good on several fronts but he was also very pro-war and very pro-imperialism, even by the standards of his day, so I imagine if you asked someone from say, the Philippines if they thought Roosevelt was a drat fine fella they'd probably say no.

Oh you know that's true, I hadn't thought of that. Internment camps also weren't implemented in the same way that they were in the continental US, so he tends to be remembered much more fondly by the Japanese community there. And then it was the other Roosevelt who strongly opposed Hawaiian statehood and was in favor of restoring the independent republic :v:

It's great that you have $200 to just throw away on an OS solely for gaming purposes and have the technical knowledge required to utilize Boot Camp.

Ok I can understand the price point, but you're overshooting it by $100 and even then it's not like at least one of your friends won't have the discs for an extremely common os that they'll just let you use. Unless your friends are all dicks idk?

The technical knowledge to use boot camp isn't an issue and we both know it. It's literally just "search Boot Camp, press Next a few times, wait thirty minutes" and has been this way since like 2008.

Speaking as a Mac user, this is true for everything in every OSX release post, oh, 10.6 or so.

10.7
"Hey Jim, what'd we have deselect bound to?"
"Uhhh, lemme check, esc, been that way since os5"
"Oh that's too easy for dumb users to accidentally deselect things, better make it Cmd+Esc."

10.8
"I think Cmd+Esc is too easy to accidentally deselect things, let's make it Cmd+Ctrl+Esc."

10.9
"Can you believe it? That old command was too common and people still kept deselecting things, and half our users kept editing the libraries to change it back to Esc! Let's change it to Cmd+Ctrl+Shift+A and foolproof it so it reverts after sixty seconds if anyone ever tries to change it!"

Sensible users have long since abandoned OSX, and this is coming from someone who swore by 10.6.

I think it would be neat if each district had a name for when you mouse over them, as a way of showcasing the more "minor" settlements of civs. Like the harbor of Athens would be Piraeus, or the entertainment complex of Los Angeles might be Burbank.

This would work except I keep changing my city's names, and then you have stuff like Honolulu or Lahaina that don't actually have entertainment complexes because they're just cultural, scientific, industrial, and agricultural sinkholes that used to be marshes but turned into deserts after some chucklefucks tried to drain them

It depends on what you mean by "bad AI." Civ 5's combat AI was easy to abuse on all difficulties because of its inability to prioritize targets, so it's not an unsafe bet to assume that it'll have the same tactical flaws whether you're playing on Settler or Deity. If you're talking about like general building priority and their ability to execute their agendas, that's something that gets solved on higher difficulties because the AI's income bonuses makes its economy strong enough to do things like field an army and launch effective invasions if only through sheer number.

I honestly liked the wonder fmvs more than the later "wonder built from scratch" animations.

It was at the height of that awkward era, though, and was pretty pop. Its charm was absolutely a product of its time. If they made something similar today, the social advisor would probably be some kind of unbearable Peter Griffin-style imbecile.

Even still Nimoy's readings were excellent. I was pretty disappointed with Civ V, and I'm not super excited about Civ VI's either.

I'm kinda split on it at times, but the reading on the Chivalry quote makes up for any other shortcomings it might have.

Hmm. If you had to guess which game was from 2010 and which one was from 2016 out of Civ V and Civ VI you might get it wrong. Wtf were they thinking with these graphics.

No way, it's just a stylistic choice. Bright and cartoony ages way better than an over-reliance on realistic textures--if you don't wanna wait twenty years to see I'm right, look at Shadows of the Empire vs Super Mario 64.

Strategic view is still a thing. It actually looks prettier than ever too.

On one hand yeah I hear you, but on the other, back when I was playing Civ 5 on a far-too-old laptop, strategic view didn't help that much. It made scrolling over the map faster for sure, but that's just graphics. Turns were slow, it would hang after attacking with a unit, and mapgen was a case of "brah I bet you I can run to the taco truck before this map finishes." Civ is a taxing program, no two ways about it, but strategic mode will at least maybe keep your computer from melting :shobon:

This sounds like a terrible idea because most modders don't understand a thing about balance and AI hacks tend to be squarely in the territory of tryhards who have otherwise failed out of life and are only good at one specific game who think it's okay to bury cool features like new units and abilities under "We removed easy mode and the game now spawns four times as many enemies.
