Not only will it never happen, in a dozen countries the developers would be straight up arrested. Try and learn to feel bad for wanting to LARP as an ethnonationalist instead.
>see historical shit in Microsoft stream >get hyped its Rise of Nations 2 >It's another attempt at killing Civilization instead
ueeeeeh
It't not year 2XXX yet, slug people do not benefit from our rights.
When the time comes the game will be placed near blackface and Tom&Jerry in history of racism.
Free Orion lets you build death camps and xenophobic races even start the game with that tech. The game is rather bleh, though. Zuul in Sword of the Stars capture millions of slaves to work them to death, also.
That is kinda hard to make work properly in a 4X games that aren't just roleplay sandboxes like Stellaris, because the genocide mechanics would have to be balanced somehow. It would probably just anger the edgy boys too because it should be something that has downsides.
>Take up the mantle of history’s most influential figures and reshape the world through your choices. Will you rule the Egyptians as Queen Nefertiti, the Greeks as Sappho, the United States as George Washington, or bring your own custom leader to life? >Sappho
Why?
Holy fricking shit who the frick thought this was a good idea
Out of the dozens of Greek leaders they could have chosen they chose some random b***h who is only known for being a lesbian
>"greek" constantinople where hagia sophia comes with the minarets >wakanda(?)
huh????
huh?????????????????
>Sappho
In what universe does this choice ever make any sense ? Muh stronk girl leader memes aside, they could have at least chosen someone that was even tangentially related to politics or war such as Aspasia or Alexander's mother
This is like picking Byron to lead England or Leopardi to lead Italy, it's absolutely mental
And don't get me wrong, I do like some of them Sappho poems, but what the frick does she know about politics ?
It's waifubaiting
>arab >woman >n
Yeah, I'm thinking it's going to be shit
>shitskin man >white woman >arab and greek rule over their respective civilizations >Black person rules over wakanda
lmao troonykind 2.0, boggles my mind that civ is the least pozzed 4x game
>nooo i only want white man in my civ clone i don't want diverse choices and different cultures
It's kind of fricking surreal to have a poet dyke who literally had not an iota of political power lead them. This is like having Shakespeare led the Brits or Maya fricking Angelou lead the US. Which sadly I feel like might happen in some Civ 22 game in 2080. You want a female greek leader? Artemisia of Halicarnassus.
What's funny is that there were cases in ancient China where some bureaucrat was such a good poet that he was given an army because of it. No woman would ever be in such a position
Now you're makin me imagine a civ-like 4x where all the leaders are famous writers or poets
the name is the fricking worst
when i hear "ara", i think of a fricking Armenian peddling me kebabs made of mystery meat
>the name is the fricking worst
I agree
The hell does it even mean in this intended context though? All i can think of is macaws which makes no sense at all. Did they do that thing where a company names their product or site after a popular phrase so they get free clicks and publicity when somebody googles it?
>Now you're makin me imagine a civ-like 4x where all the leaders are famous writers or poets
I'd not mind that kind of creative design. Though given Ganker and all you're now making me think a waifu-bait gacha game material would be >Famous authors but cute girls >skins are based off their literature

These are the same devs that made Ashes of the Singularity. It's odd that they'd decide to make a turnbased game when they have a really good RTS engine.

Christians aren't far off but higher IQs means less chimping out.

There won't be new generations of atheists because technological society isn't sustainable. I'm not even saying that in some kind of green eco-hippy way, but in regards of us literally crashing our society, crushing the most productive individuals and then trying to replace them with random imports from around the world because clearly all humans are fungible cogs that can be swapped out for another at any time. Any random MQUESE MBUTO can be the next Newton!
Take away material overabundance and decadence and suddenly atheism doesn't seem so inviting.
What's the selling point this time? Being Civ but better isn't going to cut it, I'm fine with Civ 6 and anyone who isn't is already playing the older ones
Fricking based. Anyone that sells kebabs is genuinely a nice person with a heart of gold. All race, Kurds, Turks, Armenians, whatever. All of them that sell me kebabs are based. Best races.
Gogis are better, they make the best dumplings, cheese and pies. And their vine doesn't taste like rancid piss, unlike all of that fr*nch bottled brine.
>Anyone that sells kebabs is genuinely a nice person with a heart of gold.
uh
especially that guy who chopped that girl he groomed into pieces and sold her as kebab
one of my acquaintance was working for big kebab shop and what he told me convinced me that all turks are scumbags
It's not healthy at all, you dumb brainless mutt. It's considered extremely harmful to one's stomach and a food poisoning hazard everywhere near its place of origin.
lead designer is some literally who chick who did production work on civ V and is also a college professor who has "spoken at the white house as a guest speaker on game design"
The procedurally made (i think) settlement tiles looked neat at first blush but the more i looked at it the more i realized thats just gonna make the whole map look like an indistinguishable mass of suburbs...
where are the procedurally made farm tiles? factory/heavy industrial tiles? mines or other resource extraction sites?

Yea my point exactly, and this highlights of much of a wasted opportunity this is
There's tons of interesting characters you could drag into the spotlight with this kind of premise
What if Plato was allowed to concretize his ideal society by crowning himself as the Philosopher king
What if Sparta or Thebes, not Athens, acted as the main urban centre of the Peninsula for much of the 4th century
What if the Greeks managed to successfully resist and push back the Roman invasion
And instead no, we get le ebin token gay woman that has absolutely nothing going for her and will probably end up being vulgarized or distorted into some generic bullshit character
Yea I'm upset
>"greek" constantinople where hagia sophia comes with the minarets >wakanda(?)
huh????
huh?????????????????
it's not possible that the devs don't know that minarets are islamic architecture right? there's no way someone making a history-themed game would not be aware?
>shitskin man >white woman >arab and greek rule over their respective civilizations >Black person rules over wakanda
lmao troonykind 2.0, boggles my mind that civ is the least pozzed 4x game
Do you really expect the press to fricking know jack shit about these things? The same press that just sucks off stellaris as the second coming of christ and brings it up any time there's even anything remotely related to space?
>you can play as George Washington >you can make a custom leader >this isn't enough
I mean if you want to play the same game with the same faces over and over old 4x games are still fun and have plenty of what you want
that said Sappho is a weird and fricking arbitrary choice, there's surely some relevant female leader they could say was a lesbian or at least bi
The term dyke comes from bulldyke which in turn allegedly originated with Boudicca so they could have just put her in and let her mention having female lovers or something.
It's fricking bizzare how they always grab irrelevant nobodies for women leaders instead of women who actually did something. Joan of Arc maybe, do some alt history shit since that seems to be the whole ass point of your game?
The game got the right idea.
Instead of going "muh forced cultural evolution" like Humankind did, this game accepts its a 4x on a random map.
Trailer has european castles in mountains fit to south east asia and egyptian pyramids in the fricking arctic, both which are just fantastic they realize this isn't bad but kinda cool.
Plus it gave me hope it will have fanservice for people who like the whole "bring the roman and aztecs to the space age", imagine how fricking cool it would be if instead of making the "apollo program" you estabilish the persian lunar sartapry or get a event pic of a legionaire astronaut planting a Aquila on the moon?
>Plus it gave me hope it will have fanservice for people who like the whole "bring the roman and aztecs to the space age"
"Historical" 4X need to put more effort on actual alternate history even if it may look dumb as frick at first glance
Like you reach WW2 and you get Lorica segmentata legionaries with breda machinguns if you are Rome, or Ancient Egypt using tanks in the shape of charriots. or in the other side of the coin, American Knights with helmets shaped like eagles head or Soviet Spearman using ancient soviet banners as spears
Give me dumb shit like that
Civ 4, I don't remember if it was modded or not, had like, American war elephants with the star and stripes and also Aztec/Maya war elephants too.
I won't have hope this game will do this because devs always end cucking out of making a fun game.
I don't know. I legitimately don't know. Is it because it's a modern city? The trailer had other anachronic and historic fantasy shit. Is it because Africa bad? Because I thought we wuz Kang and Wakanda memes were for specific things (first being blacks Egyptians, second being the idea Africa would be a super power if not for le evil European bringing it down). But now I see if fricking everywhere, age 3 added Ethiopia which is a militarily interesting country for the time period, and yet morons said we wuz kangs, now some random game has African factions that can move to the modern age, like all Civ games allowed since Civ 1, and yet here you are, saying there is some immense issue.
You dance around the reason with the precision only possible by someone who knows exactly what is. It's a black man standing in front of a futuristic techno city with laser highways. That's what wakanda was, a futuristic technologically advanced city of black people.
Humankind sucks so i guess it could be the true Civ competitor
Still waiting for a 4X game beside Stellaris that let me commit genocide. Not just killing pops, but targeting specific types of pops.
Not only will it never happen, in a dozen countries the developers would be straight up arrested. Try and learn to feel bad for wanting to LARP as an ethnonationalist instead.

She wasn't. She was bi.

Fricking hell, this again? In Civ 3 it was at least funny to see Lincoln in fur top hat.

Spartans just can't win.
The greeks should be lead by critias, alcibiades I don't care anymore, anything would be better than this.

he art already looks much better than civ vi's garbage
yeah it just looks like normal garbage instead.
ok then show me a historical 4x game that doesnt look like garbage
but civ 5 looks like rancid dogshit and worse than the ARA screenshot
>pre-alpha
it'll be dumbed down for consoles
it's Civ but with city building?
Ancient city streets weren't planned so rigorously.
This is so wrong.
Except all those planned ancient cities.

they said ur a gayet
are you sure that's all they said when they called? are you sure they didn't also say DO NOT REDEEM THE CITY PLANS

>seething israelites had to impose an entirely new term to avoid calling christ their lord and savior
lul
And nobody uses it no matter how hard they seethe.
I always understood it as before Christ Era, Christ Era, you tell me it isn't?
Haha no, the C stands for Common.
Damn, didn't even know this is a thing.
Will the eternal seethe of the "Chosen" never end?
BCE stands for "Before Christian Era", CE stands for "Christian Era" does it not?
BC = Before Christ = BCE = Before Common Era
AD = Anno Domini ( Year of the Lord ) = CE = Common Era
No it's not, your bullshit new definitions don't work. It's Christian, and there's none of that "common" shit.
are you moronic, anon? those are not "his" definitions

Fricking based. Anyone that sells kebabs is genuinely a nice person with a heart of gold. All race, Kurds, Turks, Armenians, whatever. All of them that sell me kebabs are based. Best races.
Just don't try to convince one of those groups that one of the other ones came up with the kebab
Yeah I don't even try and guess where they are from, because they've all genocided each other at some point.
Gogis are better, they make the best dumplings, cheese and pies. And their vine doesn't taste like rancid piss, unlike all of that fr*nch bottled brine.
What's a gogis?
Gogi is short for George, it's a nickname for Georgians.

Why is shawarma so tasty bros?
Because they put laxative in it. You'll be shitting torrents in ten minutes if you're lucky.
It's basically burgers but more healthy.

oh well, let's hope she does an okay job then

Looks neat. It seems to be a mix between gs and 4x.
why is the world so densely populated in 2600 bc
looks like shit

No hopes, no dreams, only pain and disappointment.

where are the procedurally made farm tiles? factory/heavy industrial tiles? mines or other resource extraction sites?
So...is this just humankind made by someone with a better cover design?
Because if so, it's gonna suck.

In what universe does this choice ever make any sense ? Muh stronk girl leader memes aside, they could have at least chosen someone that was even tangentially related to politics or war such as Aspasia or Alexander's mother

And don't get me wrong, I do like some of them Sappho poems, but what the frick does she know about politics ?
>This is like picking Byron to lead England
that would be hilariously based though
well i mean the subtitle to this game IS "History Untold" so maybe she knows a lot about politics and jack shit about poems here
Yea my point exactly, and this highlights of much of a wasted opportunity this is
There's tons of interesting characters you could drag into the spotlight with this kind of premise

Why does it seem they go of their way to pick the worst woman possible as leaders in these games?
The things that women and men who worship women find badass in women are not values that pertain to geopolitical leadership
>Tilt-shift camera effect
what is this? SimCity?
So is this a GSG or a civ 4x sort of affair? Press says former but everything points at latter
Do you really expect the press to fricking know jack shit about these things? The same press that just sucks off stellaris as the second coming of christ and brings it up any time there's even anything remotely related to space?
No but sort of expect them to at least get the genre right
to them and frankly most morons on steam, gsg and 4x are synonymous
100% this is gonna end up a pozzed shitshow like humankind
I hope the code isn't hard to crack. Modding in Hitler is a day one priority.

Why are people saying Wakanda and whatever? Civ 1 had Shaka and you could go modern with his Africans, what is different?
Some youtuber probably told them to be mad, so they are mad.
C'mon you dishonest sack of human refuse. Don't pretend you don't know.
Why'd you reply to yourself?
I don't know. I legitimately don't know. Is it because it's a modern city? The trailer had other anachronic and historic fantasy shit. Is it because Africa bad? Because I thought we wuz Kang and Wakanda memes were for specific things (first being blacks Egyptians, second being the idea Africa would be a super power if not for le evil European bringing it down).

You dance around the reason with the precision only possible by someone who knows exactly what is. It's a black man standing in front of a futuristic techno city with laser highways. That's what wakanda was, a futuristic technologically advanced city of black people.
