they're picking leaders out of left field mostly

it really doesn't matter considering there will be multiple leaders per civ anyway

At least its a change

I'm a lot more concerned with the graphics, which really do look bad and like a mobile game imho, wich is really sad for a Civ game.

Having different leaders, different traits than older games is fine.

they're making a solid effort to use new people for most of the civs

some are exceptions like ghandi, but most are going to be discount-tier leaders

to match the artstyle/graphics

>not fucking caesar

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

GIVE ME BACK MY LEGIONS
reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

>No Macedonian
>No totally mediocre emperor

Trajan should have been first choice all along. Caesar doesnt deserve to represent Rome.

I'm actually surprised they gave Rome a nice trade bonus. That's a first.

>instafort legions

hnng

>Caeser is responsible for the legions

Sure is heavily abridged omission-happy history class in here today

graphics look good, though

they've consistently spruced leaders and tiles up since they were first shown as well

Change for the sake of change is probably why civ 5 started out on a low note. Civ 6 is starting out from the shitpit.

do people really build cities so close to each other that they overlap workable tiles

This. I could never build them so close to each other. gives me cancer. I burn every city I take too close to my own.

Caesar Augustus would be better buy normies would mix him up with reg Caesar making that a bust

Their bonuses seem a little all over the place, looks like Rome is once more a low tier civ that will peak in iron age

I dunno, it's very expansionist in theme with bonuses already available early on.

As it should be.

Build wide fast and steamroll everyone?

Sometimes a little overlap is worth it.

If you need to have overlap for the sake of getting an Observatory built in a city surrounded by Jungles, it's usually a good idea.

Trajan
Rome
------------
Civ Unique Ability
All Roads Lead to Rome
All cities start with a Trading Post. New cities built within trading range of your capital start with a road leading to them. Trade routes earn extra gold for going through Trading Posts in your own cities.
----------------
Leader Unique Ability
Trajan's Column
All cities start with a free building in the City Center (usually a Monument which is +2 Culture).
-----------------
Civ Unique Unit
Legion
Roman unique unit. Replaces Swordsman and is stronger but more expensive. Has charges to build Forts and/or roads.

Civ Unique District
Baths
A district unique to Rome. Replaces the Aqueduct. Provides Amenities and more Housing than the Aqueduct. (Unlocks at Engineering)

A little is alright, but any more than two or three tiles is just wrong.

I don't really understand their train of thought when selecting leaders.

Ghandi wasn't the leader of India. But ok, he was an important Indian politician.
The queen consort (which is not the same thing as a real queen) of the king of Sparta is the leader for Greece?
In the previous games they had Hannibal as the leader of Carthage, but he was a commander.

It seems more like it's 'important person' rather than leader, but that just makes other choices weird.
If they wanted a female leader for France they could have least gone for someone cool like Joan (would make as much sense as Hannibal) instead of the bizarre choice they have now.

good players do, yes

one tile overlapping is fine, though
you will never have enough citizen to work them all and specialists are in general better than working on tiles that are not ressources/luxuries, at least with civics

I mean

>cities automatically has trading post, automatically builds roads when within range, has greater gain
>baths gives more housing and amneties
>if leader is trajan, city starts with a free building
>legion is a defensive unit that can instant fort

it's a really good expansionist civ

Gandhi is a Civ series meme, he's not going away

None of these except those two weren't actual leaders, though - some more de facto than official (Catherine), but still

>China
>Qin Shi Huang
Mercury mining mod when?

interesting civ
its very infrastructure focused and with Trajan your new cities start with two buildings (trading post and monument), that saves much time on marathons and you can expand your boarders from the start
Legion can be extreme defensive, love them

Hannibal came pretty close to be being the "ruler" of Carthage after the war when he took the position of suffete (roughly equivalent to a Roman consul, though it'd fallen into insignificance before Hannibal restored its power), and even under the conditions Rome imposed upon them in defeat was leading Carthage to political and economic greatness again. He was at least a legitimate leader as well as a commander.

I'm just confused by some choices since they have gone with non-leaders in the past.
They don't have to go for relatively obscure people to fill the gaps.

>you will never have enough citizen to work them all

somebody didnt micromanage growth

Why does he look a skeleton?

caesars were in the two last games atleast, why do you need the same guys over again?

Wish I grabbed the Civ V complete edition for 4 bucks. I woke up and Steam somehow ran out of keys.

Like... I didn't know that could happen.

are you really saying different looking characters will break the game?

Civ V to this day is still one of the most played games in Steam

They just wanted new characters for this one probably to sell the popular ones in DLC/expansions later
People are going to bitch either way anyway.

Gandhi is a massive meme outside of Civ too.

>you will never have enough citizen to work them all
Moron

>not having 400+ million man cities surrounded by farms and filled with specialists as Korea

I'm actually fine with them starting with lesser known/used leaders and reintroducing more "classic" ones down the line.

Yeah but, dude, they're digital copies. How the fuck do you run out of keys you generate yourself?

In any case, this just made me salty as fuck and won't be buying the damn thing unless it's 4 bucks or less again. This is why piracy is a thing.

I don't mind new characters, I just think they're weird choices.

It would be okay if they did it for free but releasing them later as DLC just screams "unfinished product" when they could do it fine in Civ IV.

I don't get 4chin, we complain everyday about sameshit on games and these guys want the same leaders on vanilla. Incredible.

Cato the elder as Civ leader when?

pretty sure the extra leaders were expansions in Civ IV

>we

>people complain about no civ/leader variety
>when they actually change most of the leaders, people complain
you people are never happy, are you. I for one welcome the new choices, though it is a bit eye rolling when they pick some 'random' fuck just because women 'quota.' but I certainly dont mind fucking trajan instead of caeser. just imagine the shitfests if civ 6 came out with mostly the same leaders compared to civ 5.

why would multiple leaders be a requirement of a finished product, exactly? sure wouldn't mind having it but the game surely can be good without.

are people gonna buy this PC port? i wonder if its well ported

Nobody is complaining about new rulers.

Some of them yeah, but Russia, Germany, England and others all started with multiple leaders.

Its a common theme even in other boards.

You fucking Historicaly illiterate idiots need to fucking open a book once in a while Trajan was was the APEX of the Roman Empire and one of the most known Emperors before the downhill that is the Empire's fall

>and these guys want the same leaders on vanilla.
Which is funny, because before the leak, people were bitching about getting the same leaders all the time.

upvoted

Wut?

None of those posts complained about Trajan.

and compare them to the leaders here

in Civ IV they were smaller, didn't really animate much, and never talk

here it is a full body model with full body animation, with different dialog

they prioritize civ with leader rather than just plain leader

Kid, in Civ 2 I could name the leader of the American Civ either the default "Abraham Lincon" or I can change it to "Barry Goldwater" or "Mister Poopeepants" all without mods because the leader was nothing more than a name (same for every civ game from then on). Fixed leaders for each Civ is, in my eyes, a step backwards.

Eh. These might not be as involved as Civ V leaders, but they're still more involved than Civ IV leaders for building art assets.

Plus, they've actually got gameplay differences, Civ IV leaders were just different pairs of a common pool of traits.

>Greece
>Gorgo
What why?

Except frenchies, who would prefer a no-french over a no-french

>What are they doing with these leaders
Big personalties

You can do that in Civ V as well.

No you don't get it, lurk some more.

...

t. shill

That's because the leaders then were just pictures

>the leader was nothing more than a name
Wow, good thing they changed that.

Yeah, its all good now, except Teddy. Leader ability is a unique unity? Fuck Teddy.

Something about filling a quota and demonstrating a mechanic for playing alternate leaders.

Only 2 of those mention who the ruler of Rome should be.

If you people have been following the game then you would know that they pick the leaders based on who fits the criteria of being a big personality.

yeah that sounds so fun, endless leaders with no differences, shame we don't have that anymore

Trajan is on par with Caesar and is famous in his right without leeching of Caesar's fame.

They complained about the new rulers and why they're doing what their doing right now as if Trajan was a noname faggot in the anals of Roman history

and yet they're all complaining about new rulers.

Basically, leaders were avatars and waifushit.

>a unique unity?
And bonus attack
And bonus appeal to all tittles in cities with National Park
That on top of the US bonuses

Literally only two of those are complaining about new rules.

In the grand scheme of things, Augustus was a far more important leadership figure than Julius Caesar.

Trajan is a relatively appropriate choice in any case - since he presided over the largest expansion of the Empire.

>complaining about new rulers.

They why are you sperging out over Trajan when he wasn't mentioned?

its a unique unit AND "combat bonus to rape barbarians from the start on your continent", that equals TWO abilities, one more than others you fuckwit

If you build them to far away then the city boarder might not expand enough to reach the rest of your empire, and I would much rather have overlapping tiles then city's that don't connect.

Without Julius there wouldn't have been an empire.

Implying that they ever stopped being nothing more than that

FUCK. TEDDY.

>tfw you string a bunch of cities together and build the great wall

You mean the guy in ops picture complaining about no Caesar?

Instead there would have been a republic, and Rome arguably achieved more shit as a republic then as a Empire.

>the great wall
its China only now

Without Romulus there wouldn't have been Rome

You mean without Julius, Octavian would have no accomplishments whatsoever which he could use to gain power.

great wall is now a unique tile improvement for china

But the great wall is a china only ability now.

>all this mad

I didn't know OP is everyone.
You quoted a bunch of posts that didn't mention him at all.

Arguably, you could push that logic even further and assert that without Scipio Africanus there would not have been an Empire.

Augustus was the founder of the Empire and was responsible for organising its administrative structure, laws and the Imperial succession. Caesar's contribution was negligible in comparison.

>Implying bickering senators can keep an empire larger than the entire mediterranian together

im not even him idiot.

I dont even like civ.

I was also triggered that OP complained about romes greatest rule

Why the fuck do we have "leader abilities" if there is no choice in leaders? why cant you just give bonuses to the whole civ? There is zero point in having these leaders except for art assets to distinguish each civ.

because the game will probably have a free leader mode

>Implying a retarded emperor can keep an empire larger than the entire mediterranian together

We'll have them user, don't fret now. Plus modding potential, free leader modes, etc..

Trajan is fucking based. Marcus Aurelius or Hadrian would have been pretty good too.

>Caesar's contribution was negligible in comparison.

That's just nonsense.
Yes, Augustus was Rome's greatest ruler, but to call Julius' contribution negligible is ridiculous.

>Instead there would have been a republic, and Rome arguably achieved more shit as a republic then as a Empire.

Except that the Republic had been in its death throes for half a century by that point.

So that they can make other leaders later as DLC, you must understand goyim, you can't live without Abraham Lincoln as the American leader. It's only 2.99 after all.

>im not even him idiot.
>I dont even like civ.

>Expansion now allows religeous victories
>No celts
>Boudaccia is now a great general


REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

It worked for hundreds of years, so yes I am implying that.

>not Caligula
D R O P P E D

You mean DLC, because it certainly isn't civ without the DLC right?

God, i hate what this franchise has become.

they'll change them when they become civs

with that said isn't there a proper leader than boudica?

>Boudaccia is now a great general
But this is good.

Why did you quote the things I said?

The appeal bonus would've been awesome.

>already outright states in the box about switchable leaders
>muh DLC

why did I even respond

Whose dick do I have to suck to get Agamemnon as DLC?

If Dido can be a ruler then this shouldn't be a problem either.

>but to call Julius' contribution negligible is ridiculous.

Compared to Augustus'? Not at all. Augustus WAS the Empire, in whatever form it would take for 1500 years after his death.

Because they amused me.

There will be alternative leaders eventually but as DLC. Hope you're ready for alt. leader DLC packs, 2 leaders for only $4.99!

And bickering senators ruled the Mediterranean empire together for hundred of years. Besides all the expansion into mainland Europe and the middle east that they did only made the empire harder to defend

>tfw I never play any facebook shit or mobile shit so I don't get the mobile feel from the graphics that so many fags are mad about

All I want is the ability to rename whatever faceless entity that rules the American Civ "Hillary Clintion" and never take democracy in whatever gameplay form they have in the game.

If they can mod that in, if they can sell it as DLC then its already an improvement because finally we're getting features back from Civ 2.

No because Celts doesn't make sense as a civ.

They should add Scotland with William Wallace instead.

Do Ireland and Wales have any good candidates?

hell, mobile and facebook games wish they have this kind of graphical level

Hopefully it'll be possible to add leaders as mods

I know what you mean, I just think it looks more like Warlock - Master of the Arcane which isn't really a bad thing, except I though Civ V looked better but that's probably just because of more advanced graphics.

Instead of complaining about new rulers let's talk about some civs that for some reason have never been in any Civ but should be.

before "mobile graphics" it was "wow graphics"

If celts are off the table then the only option for Ireland is Michael Collins or something.

Let's just call it what it is, shitposting.

All I want is Genghis.

Hey man, the Silver Age Emperors were all pretty legit. I don't see what's wrong here.

Except Gorgo was the queen of Sparta. Do you actually know anything about history beyond knowing that Ghandi wasn't the leader of India?

You might have a better point complaining about Saladin being the leader of Arabia being neither an Arab or controlling any lands in Arabia at the time of his rule.

I want Kublai.

>They should add Scotland with William Wallace instead.
Did you learn history from Braveheart or something?
As for Ireland the only option is Brian Boru

Julius never lost a single battle.

I've never seen Braveheart.
Are you saying he wouldn't be a good choice? He is easily one of the most famous Scots with Robert the Bruce.

Cant we just call it shit graphics and call it a day?

You want a Scottish king? Then you pick Robert the Bruce, Macbeth (yeah I bet you didn't know that Macbeth was a real person), Malcolm III, Robert II, James I or Mary.

THE MAD GAMER PROJECT NIMBUS REVIEW

Hey guyyys, what’s up and welcome back to another episode of The Mad Gamer. Sorry I haven’t uploaded in awhile, but my mom wouldn’t pay the internet bill until I did my laundry, and you guys KNOW how much I hate laundry…

Anyway, today’s game is available ON SALE right now at Chrono.gg, your one-stop shop for daily game deals where the devs get their cut too, and if you click the link in the description that’ll shoot me a little extra money, which is great, ‘cause The Mad Gamer probably wouldn’t be here today if it wasn’t for viewers like you.

Anyway, the game’s called Project Nimbus, it’s ten dollars, and it’s about a war that destroyed the Earth’s surface. A bunch of poor people are still on the planet 40 years later even though it’s totally messed up down there, and the rest live in floating cities and fight each other with giant robots called Battleframes. It’s totally sick cause there’s tons of weapons and stuff, but the graphics also look really good on my dope gaming PC, and sorry I’m just videoing the screen with my iPhone, but my little sister broke my Canon and my stepdad won’t get me a new one, soooo…yeah.

Anyway, that’s our show, thanks for watching The Mad Gamer, don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe, and remember, if you wanna play this awesome game for yourself, just click the link in the description, and a little bit of what you pay goes towards my new Canon so I can start uploading videos regularly again. And guys please subscribe, when I finally hit 100 subs, we’ll have a huge party and I already promised a BUNCH of you I’d do the toilet paper challenge if we made it. Thanks again for watching The Mad Gamer, and remember, stay mad, bro!

Irrelevant. Ghandi, along with other civ leaders. was never close to being the Indian ruler either. He was a famous Scottish leader which is all that matters.

That's a very nice assumption you have there. I'm not sure why you felt the need to throw that in.

Just wait for Civ VII. You'll have Michael Jackson leading America.

I'm just finally convinced this game's artstyle ain't aimed at me.
The map looks pretty enough, but the city sprawl [as usual] doesn't look very good, there seem to STILL be no fix to the issue of swiss cheese empire borders, and a fair share of the leaders look ugly as if for no other reason than for the sake of looking ugly.

Ah well.

Trajan is the one who caused the end of the Roman Empire's ability to offensively conqueror new lands you retard. By overextending the Empire in his Parthian war (because he was a fuckboy who wanted to emulate Alexander the Great's defeat of the first Persian Empire), he overextended Roman territory, increased taxation to the point that it crippled the Empire's coffers and all reserve legions were brought to the East only for all those gains to be given up immediately by Hadrian because maintaining them was physically impossible and hugely draining Rome of its money and manpower.

Oh yeah, and when his legions were retreating out of Parthian Empire lands after he fell sick, they lost several more to Parthian ambush attacks and countless urban areas in the Roman East were affected by a PLAGUE they brought back to the West. He did more to fuck up Pax Romana then any other Roman Emperor with his short-sighted attempts to expand Rome beyond its capability to sustain its self.

You know most historical leaders weren't actually good looking, right? Depictions of a lot of them take liberties in their looks because people like to romanticize the past.

Here's a profile of Cleopatra from a coin

Because I question a lot about you if you somehow think that that William Wallace should represent Scotland, maybe you can have him in the Fate series where it's hero vs hero but not as a representative of Scotland.
>He was a famous Scottish leader which is all that matters.
No, being famous is not enough. Yes Ghandi wasn't the leader of India but he was the leader of independence movement, did receive the title of Father of the Nation and he was to large to ignore. Unlike Wallace
Fair enough

All that's left of the vanilla civs are Arabia (Saladin), Russia (Peter), and Sumeria (Gilgamesh).

-Possibly- Poland, but the Civilopedia leak seems to point to that being DLC.

That wasn't even C. Caesar who said that you mong. It was Augustus Caesar

Caligula please go, he is your relative

I want to do obscene things to her.

I wonder if the constant emoting in these webms are just for the sake of showing the animations and are not actually present in-game.

I mean, most Civ diplomacy is carried through short phrases, and yet they keep emoting on and on, displaying different emotions and moods over and over as if they were carrying an actual conversation. But that can't be the case, can it?

They might have been good looking in their time, what is considered beautiful changes over time.

I miss their cut and dry sorting of forms of government that they had in civ 3.
>start in 3000bc
>have fully functional government
The only thing you really gain from an age for your government are wealth, research, and espionage.
>2000ad
>work tiles the same speed as people did 5000 years ago
Ok

>What are they doing with these leaders
picking new ones? I see no issue with this, its a nice change and could allow for alternate personalities.

there will be multiple leaders like Civ IV anyways

>short sighted

yeah I'm sure the other conquerors were so much more long sighted.

>not actually present in-game

nigga we've seen short streams of the game, they're in there

Easy culture victory

Yes, and ironically enough Cleopatra is one of the leaders I don't think looks that bad, but was there really the need to give Trajan such a long neck and emanciated look like a sickly man? Or to make Gandhi look barely human? Or make Pedro II, a ruler of which we have actual pretty accurate visual records of, look like... this?

>Trajan
dude was based af tho?

Introduction animation, used the first time you meet them

Is that why Rome never committed offensive campaign to conqueror new territory? Is that why the devaluing of gold and silver currency reached its highest point in inflation until the late 4th century?

Yeah okay pal.

>no more reserve legions in northern or western territories of Rome
>plague brought back from Parthia gives rise to the Antonian Plague which kills over 1/4th of Rome's population in the next 70 to 80 years
>economy flounders
>weakening Parthians give more rise and impetus for the Sassanid Persians to come to power; who are hyper aggressive

Get over the fact Trajan is over-rated and did more to damn Rome in the long run then help it.

why doesnt he swallow whatevers in his cheeks

>being famous is not enough
>to large to ignore. Unlike Wallace

So he is famous but can also be ignored?

>he was the leader of independence movement

Sounds familiar.

not just that, we see them during diplomacy too

Whats with all these peace loving faggots leaders? There is a huge lack of warmongering in this game.

I was honestly expecting them to pick a fag to lead the Romans

At best Hadrian
At worst Elagabalus

He did lose an campaign to the kingdom of kush.

And losing to niggers in my eyes makes you an bad leader.

Caricature

In most of these clips, they're either one or two response animations.

Most of the time you'd just see their idle animation like in until you make some kind of proposal (or respond to a deal they try to make with you).

Ghandi is a big enough warmonger to compensate for everyone else.

I feel like at this point they are basically deciding to let the mod community work for free and put all the leaders people actually care about into the game via mods.

how is expansionist the same as peace loving

Marius, Sulla, Caesar, Augustus, Antony, Agrippa, and the more famous successor Emperors like Tiberius, Cladius, Nero, Hadrian, Constantine, or Aurelius were always the most likely.

>no Aurelian ever

Sure whatever but he only gets faggot bonus.

>>/pol

Need i remind you that in Civ 2 you can create your own leader.

You can rename everything in Civ 5. The leaders, the cities, the units, the religion, even the civ itself. why do you think they'll remove all of that for civ 6?

well yeah that's a given, it's like in Civ V

I reckon the big animations are introduction, gossip discovery, trade request, war declaration, and lose

actually many civs have war related boosts, like the norwegians

>why do you think they'll remove all of that for civ 6?

I wouldn't be surprised, they've been removing features since Civ 3.

Don't you know? Cred Forums is home to the greatest historians of the 21st century armed to the teeth with wikipedia articles.

No for fuck sake, his action had to much of an impact to be ignored

Yeah and he succeeded, unlike Wallace

Some of them are bound to look worse than others. I'd like them to fatten up Pedro's face a bit, make Cleo's eyes a little smaller and remove Vicky's cleft chin but in a game where I'm not even looking at the leader for the majority of the time it's not that big a deal.

All features from Civ V and it's expacs are coming back in Civ VI though.

The only notable exception being the UN which they said that it wasn't implemented well in 5 and they want to rework on the mechanics.

That happened much later.
The war Wallace fought in was won.

>man who literally created the legions and defeated the Huns
>absent from the game
Really now firaxis?

Hardly thanks to him

Seriously?

Seriously, Robert was actually the man that lead Scotland and succeeded in guaranteeing it's independence.

Who's leading Persia? Did they announce them yet?

So what you're saying is that Wallace did not win the Battle of Stirling Bridge which was not a huge blow to the English?

they're not in the base game

New developer stream tomorrow.

Persia is not a vanilla civ this go around, and we haven't seen any early info that suggests anything about them.

He lost the Battle of Falkirk, and the rest is History.

What I'm saying is that Wallace didn't actually succeed, died in the effort, was reviled by the nobility and it was Robert that actually fought the war and won.

Wallace won a couple battles and died, Robert fought a war and guaranteed Scotland's independence for hundreds of years.

Wallace is a massive fucking meme.

...

Your point being? If not losing battles is a prerequisite then nearly every Civ ruler should be ditched.

>What I'm saying is that Wallace didn't actually succeed

Except that he did.

>Robert that actually fought the war and won.

They both fought in the war.

>Wallace won a couple battles and died

>alexander, ghengis, hannibal and every other successful leader won a couple battles and died

>Wallace is a massive fucking meme.

Ah yes, the meme defense. Call something a meme for an automatic win.

That's thanks solely to the brave heart movie and you know it

>Your point being
The same point you're making with him winning Battle of Stirling Bridge.
>alexander, ghengis, hannibal and every other successful leader won a couple battles and died
Alexander, Ghengis and many other successful leaders won the war.

>William Wallace is on the same level as world conquering emperors Alexander and Genghis

Lmao dude come on Wallace was small time all the time

What's everyone's problem with the graphics? Been around since Civ III and it doesn't bother me much, can't see what the deal is

>The same point you're making with him winning Battle of Stirling Bridge.

You claimed he didn't do anything to help win the war.

>Alexander, Ghengis and many other successful leaders won the war.

Unless every history book in existence is wrong, Scotland did win the war.

Everyone shut up and post more images of the spanish meme man

Yes Scotland won the war, but Wallace did not. No we claimed that his role was minor

Wallace isn't even the hero of the story in Scotland

Reducing the accomplishments of actual successful leaders so you can try and get your husbando in game isn't going to work.

Wallace a shit. If we're taking every two bit rebellion leader who won a couple battles then got executed why not have Boudicca

Good job at doing the exact same thing you accused me of.

Are you English or something? Did Wallace touch you inappropriately? There has to be a reason for why you're so upset over a post suggesting a leader for a video game on an anime image board.

>Except that he did.
He didn't star the war nor did he end it.

So one of the most ancient and culturally significant civilizations in human history is excluded, while random african hut dwellers are included. Nice.

>a spaniard

oh fuck off Cred Forums

>He didn't star the war nor did he end it.

I didn't know we were discussing who started or ended wars.

If you're claiming the battle of Stirling Bridge was not vital for winning the war you're spouting huge historical inaccuracies for the sake of being contrarian.

He is right you retard. Where is fucking Persia, the one nation that has harassed the west for literal fucking millenniums.

And if you're calming that losing Battle of Falkirk wasn't a huge blow then what was?
Removed as to not trigger the right wing SJW

Wallace's rebellion failed. The war with England didn't start up until The Bruce himself started it.

Can you actually tell me what Wallace accomplished? What did he build, what did he rule, what wars did he win? I'm legitimately confused that you would think Wallace is some kind of legend when it's Robert that is the cultural icon in Scotland.

"He won a couple battles" is actually an exaggeration since he won one (1) battle then lost and was executed. He wasn't even the only person to be rebelling against England at the time. He was just one of the minor nobility, nothing more.

If you want an actual Scottish leader for the time you could choose John Balliol or The Bruce. You know, the people who were actual leaders.

What

alexander literally won every single battle he was in. If he kept going at the same pace isntead of dying he would've ended with the biggest empire in history of mankind

humblebundle.com/gift?key=YbBrk6v5e23hYqmG

Like, I know what it's used for, but what does it literally mean

I never even mentioned the battle of Falkirk.
You're claiming Wallace's role was minor, which is blatantly false.

>Wallace's rebellion failed

I feel like I'm going in circles here. We've already concluded multiple times that this is false.

I'm still not sure why you're so upset about a post suggesting a leader for Scotland. Is this personal to you or something?

>you will never live in Rome during her prime

It hurts. It fucking hurts.

>If you want an actual Scottish leader for the time you could choose John Balliol or The Bruce. You know, the people who were actual leaders.
or as previously mentioned Macbeth, Malcolm III, Robert II, James I or Mary.

I'd actually prefer if they brought back multiple leaders for each faction.

That is actually what we're discussing here. If your criteria for being a civ leader is winning a single battle while actually not being the leader of their civ the list gets fucking huge.

Germanicus for leader of Rome when?
Arthur Currie for Canadian civ when?
Rommel for German civ when?
Custer for American civ when?

I miss nimoy

Got a detail on Forts this time (I don't know that a Roman Fort is particularly special or not)

Defense bonus for standing on it and the unit is always considered Fortified as well, even if they just moved onto the tile or attack from it.

>Nimoy will never narrate Civilization again

I guess Sean Bean's cool too, but goddammit I can still hear those old tech quotes perfectly.

regards

Because it's a shit suggestion. It's not even a good idea for a leader. It's just as terrible an idea as having Boudicca for the Celts.

I don't know why you're so upset about multiple people telling you your leader idea is shit. Is this personal to you or something?

Would you put James as head of Scotland or of the UK? Seeing as he was responsible for the union I don't think having him as head of Scotland would be appropriate.

Beep. Beep. Beep.

All of those are valid rulers. Civ has never been about just the greatest ruler of each nation, which is why you get people complaining that Augustus isn't the ruler of Rome.
Wallace and Robert (who I both mentioned, but for some reason you got angry when reading Wallace) are both valid rulers for Scotland.

>It's just as terrible an idea as having Boudicca for the Celts.

So you're admitting that he wouldn't be out of place?

Do you know what Nation could do with some leader variety? England. Instead of having cunt queens who were worthless, maybe we could have someone great. Like, I don't know, Afelstane or Ironsides. Lads, I'd take Cromwell over Elizabeth / Victoria. I know we have been "meme'd upon", as the kids say, already but it's still nice to dream.

>Would you put James as head of Scotland or of the UK?
James I of Scotland, the son of Robert III of Scotland

Second part for Cred Forums fucked up

>I don't know why you're so upset about multiple people telling you your leader idea is shit. Is this personal to you or something?

I'm not the one who threw a tantrum when someone mentioned that Wallace is a famous Scot. (If you deny this you might as well stop posting)

To be fair that might happen at some point. In Civ5 it was a no-go because the entire leader screen was animated. For Civ6 they're going back to animated leaders and 2D backdrops so the workload is dramatically lessened.

Yeah, he's a famous Scot but what people have been telling you is he'd be a shit choice for leader of Scotland. Do you really have trouble comprehending the difference between "being famous" and "being the leader of their nation"?

Do you really have this much trouble with context and reading comprehension?

My mistake

All of those would fit under the great general mechanic of the game. None of them would fit as being the leader of their civ. I'd sooner see Nero as a Roman leader than Germanicus.

normally i'd agree with you but he has a point

the Mali, Ethiopia, Morroco, even the zulu despite being a meme choice would all be better as african civs

Fuck, the mali are THE african empire. Their king was so fucking rich he destabilized the entire economy wherever he went.

>Do you really have trouble comprehending the difference between "being famous" and "being the leader of their nation"?

There is no difference as is evident by other civ rulers who were not rulers of their nation.
Also, Wallace was the head of the state.

>Dislikes civilizations who have a new Luxury resource he has not yet collected.


Does that mean he'll refuse to trade for cheap when I try giving him the luxury he wants ? Because in Civ V, trying to trade luxury resources with hostile civs was nearly impossible.

The most significant African civ is already in.
They're just adding different civs for variety. Persia will definitely be in an expansion.

Wallace was Guardian of Scotland under John Balliol, the King of Scotland. That is not head of state.

It's most definitely not an equivalent to Shogun.

basically he wants to own them

>No Byzantine Empire
>Still no love for Michael the VIIIth
>The man who saved the Byzantine Empire
>Civ 5 lets you play as a literal whore instead
God the dev team are massive faggots.

Denmark ever?

Looking fucking dapper

Couldn't tell you if he'd give you a fair deal but it does mean that he "expects" you to trade him luxuries that he doesn't own already.

Its not about the change its about the amount. We want MORE than what we had. We wasn't MORE wonders not different ones. At a minimum there should be so many wonders that one civ cant build them all and more importantly doesn't want to build them all. You should be picking and choosing not just building the next wonder unlocked to have it.

>tfw you load up a save and your great wall expanded

>The Guardians of Scotland were the de facto heads of state of Scotland

No, he was not the monarch of Scotland, but he was a ruler of some sort.
Civ has always been loose about its definition of ruler.

Sorry user, but I don't like mobile game graphics. My little brother might like this game though, he's still learning.

And Wallace would still be a shitty choice. It's not going to happen. If it does then I'll kill myself on stream for everybody but man, you chose one of the worst meme choices for head of Scotland.

There's a whole roster of better choices and an even better meme choice in Macbeth.

This game seems to serve the purpose to jerk off autistic history buffs. REMEMBER TRAJAN XDDDD
When the common man doesn't know who these people are. Stop catering to hardcore fans and cater to the masses. Pandering is why videogames are shit now, mass appeal is the way to go.

I don't speak Chinese.
For some reason I've always had it in my head that China was founded 1000BC or something.

>meme choice

That doesn't mean anything.
The only 'meme choice' is Ghandi.

I like the different leader choices. Means I can crack open the Civilopedia and learn something new.

>That aqueduct

But how does the river magically climb 50 stories?

That doesn't change the fact that Wallace is a shitty choice.

user, it's a shitty choice. It will always be a shitty choice. It will never not be a shitty choice. You will never get me to say having Wallace as a civ choice would be a good choice. That is what I have been saying this entire fucking time. He has zero fucking credentials.

>See my neighbors expanding towards a resource cluster
>Send some legions and fort up claiming them
>Prepare for whiny bitch tits to cry at me about how I'm "stealing" from them

Being Rome is living the good life.

I haven't followed your conversation, and not the guy you replied to. But wasn't china founded like 1000BC ?

>He has zero fucking credentials.

You keep saying this and every time I point out how this couldn't be more wrong.

Same. I wish there were more new faces, actually. Victoria and Peter seem like they could have been switched out and nobody would be bothered by it much.

Well, you can continue to be retarded with your awful, awful taste in civ leaders. There are many other, better choices for leaders and you choose one of the absolute worst choices for civ leaders.

You can continue to trumpet the merits of Wallace but he will continue to be a mediocre, short lived general who won one battle by allowing a retarded English commander to advance across a bride into pikes. He didn't start the rebellion against England, he wasn't the leader of the rebellion against England and he didn't end the rebellion against England. He did not win, his leaders won.

I would like to see the kind of mobile games that look remotely like Civ 6

>You can continue to trumpet the merits of Wallace but he will continue to be a mediocre, short lived general who won one battle by allowing a retarded English commander to advance across a bride into pikes

You are no different from people who say Alexander was shit because he didn't do anything and just inherited a kingdom.
I'm looking forward to reading about your amazing achievements in the history books.

How boring they have the exact same units as in CiV.

do aqueducts have to be built like districts/roads/etc?

I hate this woman's voice

Aqueducts are a District in Civ VI that must be adjacent to both a City Center and either a river, lake/oasis, or mountain.

...

thank you user

That's nothing like it at all. Wallace actually did very little and accomplished very little.

Alexander took his kingdom from a small state to a massive empire.

Are they unnecessary if you settle next to water then?

think of them as Garden, etc. in older games where you can only build them in cities founded on certain areas

>A district that brings fresh water from an adjacent River, Lake, Oasis or Mountain to your city, boosting its potential population."
Notes: Provides +2 Housing to a city that already has fresh water, +6 to one that doesn't. Must be build adjacent to the City Center.

>the emperor that lead Imperium Romanorum at its hight and to its hight

Sure Augustus was the first emperor and made a good base for the Empire, but Trajan is way up there and makes for a very good candidate for being the leader of the Civ

>Arguably the most successful Emperor to have ever ruled the Empire aside from Augustus
>the Empire reached its maximum territorial extent as a result of his actions
>this is somehow a bad leader choice

As wife of King Henry II, she was Queen consort of France from 1547 to 1559, but he specifically forbade her from political participation. After he died and their fifteen-year-old son Francis II took the throne, she began actively involving herself in politics. She was regent of France when Francis died and King Charles IX was still 10; this was probably the height of her personal political power. She remained an active counsel (and probably de-facto behind-the-throne ruler of France) until 1588 when her third son Henry III dismissed all his ministers (she took ill around then and died in 1589).

She was pretty caught up in French (Catholic/Protestant) Wars of Religion in her time, and infamously the St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre occurred during Charles IX's reign when he ordered that Huguenot leaders be killed and Catholic mob violence ensued. (And given her influence over her sons, many assume Catherine to have been the origin of the decision)

You'll have to blame the art team for basing him on portraits like this.

Interesting, so she was a very influential character in French history
What exactly is the issue of picking her as a leader
I can understand that they want some female leaders, just to diversify the leader selection and well, if they were very influential and a de facto power I can accept the choice
Victoria and especially Elizabeth I were prime examples
Is it because Catherine is originally Italian?
That would also mean nothing, as William of Orange was a Frenchman who had ties to the Low Countries, but was not a real Dutchman

>Victoria
>German
M8 if you're gonna nitpick that hard, you might as well say everyone in Europe is led by a German or an Austrian

I'm loving the leader animations.

>Is it because Catherine is originally Italian?
Nobody bitched about Napoleon in pass civs, did they?

Napoleon was born in French clay therefore hes a pure-blooded French Emperor.

Corsica is French.

Egypt hardly counts as african, come on now

At least that's meant to depict Barbarossa. It's anachronistic, sure, but it's not dropping the ball anywhere near as hard as they did with Gustavus Adolphus.

what do you count morocco as

Why? It's in Africa.

It was anexed a year after Napoleon was born.

>Gustavus Adolphus
oh the swedish butthurt over this, it never really healed

>All those tard ITT who don't know about the Nerva Antonine dinasty and the 5 greath emperors.

Trajan is a marvelous choice, since he was, back then and now, considered to have ruled durign the most prosperous the empire as ever been

you fuckign tards

What's with all the Continent based traits?

Like half of the civs will be completely nerfed on Pangaea

First
>Pangea retards
Second, they made it so even a single land mass has multiple continents, like Europe and Asia

Will there ever be an italian Civ?

There's several.

Also nice get.

we had Venice and its one of the most fun civs to play

That's a shit excuse. That's even worse than depicting Napoleon with an AK47.

What was wrong with Gustavus Adolphus?

I assume this is about Civ V

...

this desu. best emprahs with best legions at best times of roman empire

This is Erik XIV.

Oh jesus christ what the fuck

I've seen both that picture of Erik XIV and the way Gustavus Adolphus looks like in-game, but I never connected the dots until now.


what the FUCK

They modeled him after a portrait of Erik XIV.

This is Gustavus Adolphus.

This is Gustavus Aldolpus in Civ V.

...

With multiple leaders per civ, we might get Ashoka again.

If they wanted to change Rome's leader Trajan is the perfect choice.

I personally think Marcus Aurelius would also be a fine choice, with some heavy civillian/philsophy based bonuses.

Eastern Rome when?

frog here.
She is quite unpopular in France, if you go ask people in the streets they either won't know her, either will only have heard bad things about her. It would be like having Richard III for England or Maria I for Portugal, they did have an impact but you can argue there are much more impactful leaders to choose.

Most French civ players are upsets because there is so much choice you can go for France, like Napoleon, Louis XIV, De Gaulle, Charlemagne, Clovis, Joan of Arc, or even Henry IV who contributed much more to solve the religious conflict, yet we are stuck with a manipulative woman who is recognized responsible for the St. Bartholomew's Day massacre and the fall of the Valois house.

He got a huge empire from his daddy.

I kind of have to agree with on this, he's like Justinian in how he brought the Empire to its zenith but was also a significant factor in its subsequent decline.

but charlemagne is german and joan was even less of a leader

I actually really like how Ghandi looks in this desu

t. Germanic servant

Yeah Charlemagne is a better leader for the HRE like in Civ IV, but he is so influential he could also fit for France, it's not like Civ is super accurate anyway.

Joan like Ghandi has never ruled, but she is already a better choice than Medici: she led the French to victory in one of its most important battle ever, she has become a popular romanized character everyone here likes, and is definitely one of the most famous French character in History along Napoleon. If they were desesperate for a female leader she clearly was a better choice than Medici

dlc

you're not fooling anyone merkel

>It would be like having Maria I for Portugal
So a perfect candidate for Civ then

Dude genocided Pinoys.

I'd buy it as long as they get a good underrated leader in instead of another meme one

>Eastern
>Rome

Its a luxury resource in Civ VI

Charlemagne was black, fucking cracker

Is Voltaire the smuggest of philosophers?

I think that's the point, because France is a civ that's guided to play manipulatively through a cultural victory style. I think the gameplay style that benefits the civ the most also goes in to deciding what ruler/s to pick. Then again this game is going to have multiple leaders with different leader bonuses throughout the life of the game, so I don't think it's a big deal to start with some less important female civ leaders to balance out the numbers. They'll probably have Napoleon, Charlemagne, or Vercingetorix eventually.

Napoleon as french leader when??

It was Rome you autist or was the Roman Empire with it's capital in Mediolanum also not Rome?

We're gonna get Justinian as an alternate leader for Rome.

No.

Would be pretty rad to get Belisarius.

He wasn't the leader of the actual empire at any point, but he qualifies as "a" great leader I guess.

t. autist who doesn't actually get the Voltaire meme

>big personality
except they made phillip the literal opposite of whom he was

t. proud defender of the Christian Visigoth kingdom

shut your whore mouth you frenchie cunt

>Christian Visigoth kingdom
what does Asturas have anything to do with the eastern empire you mongoloid?

>legion's special ability is to build roman forts
>they look like medieval age castles

fucking disgusting

>being this assblasted for no reason
Why don't you fix your reading comprehension and look at the chain of replies.

To be honest lads, she's rather cute.

holy shit nigger

I mean I'm glad they picked Victoria for
>England
but why is she so happy and jolly? She was ridiculously fucking stern and serious to the point where certain people like teachers were called Victorian if they acted stern and serious.
But I guess I shouldn't expect them to get much right if they couldn't even get the right Swedish ruler last game.

Civ has always done a half-ass job of differentiating the cities for Civs. Prepare for your Chinese Renaissance cities to look like puke with the districts system. Fucking wild west gold mines beside generic three little pigs straw house for farms with a Chinese palace beside them.

>Likes when you spread your Religion to his cities.

C U C K

Karl der Große was nor French.

They just select anyone semi-well known. It's the only way they'd get to tick the 'female' box outside of Elizabeth and a few others.

holy shit we're making progress

no hitler no buy

>implying he wasn't laughing when slaughtering dutchmen/heretics
