And holy fuck the technology and civic quotes are insufferable. It's either some smarmy lib saying something Marvel movie-esque or it's some fucking genocider war criminal saying something that might be considered profound in 3rd grade.
Or the worse of both worlds is when they have a fucking war criminal being smarmy. It also seems like Churchill is in like half of them, the fucker had a lot to say apparentely, wish he took a long walk off a short pier and talked to the fish more.
Can't believe they wasted Sean Bean on this :sadness: Anyway, play Civ 4, it's good and has quotes from better people.
They are all like
The only thing better than a steam engine, , , is two steam engines
- Leopold II
So that's a thing!
-responsible for 10 million deaths in the Congo II
:yes-hahaha-yes-r: :yes-chad:
Edit: it's also an optional tech, i.e. it's not a prerequisite for anything, so you can skip researching fascism if you want.
amid the many complaints at release was the poor quality of the voiced quotes, not only for techs and civics, but for wonders. The one you get when you discover Mt Kilimanjaro is about how you can't get wifi there, awful! I think that one was one of the top google responses when you searched for "Kilimanjaro quotes", that and a few others were just kind of pulled haphazardly.
all the DLC's had better quotes, for what it's worth. Also people have made "better quotes" mods, which can be found on the steam workshop.
The quotes from Civ IV are ingrained in my skull deeper than anything else
Thank you. I had never though to see if they were compiled somewhere. Time to listen to them all
Wow, that's like 97% good picks. Anyone know the context of the pig iron one?

Classic blues song about avoiding taxes on goods transported on a train.
The civ 4 quotes are far better, rest in peace Leonard Nimoy

Civ5 and Civ4 were peak civ for me. The hextiles and no stacks-of-doom in Civ5 are perfection, but almost everything else was better in Civ4. Civ2 was also a banger until 4.
realism Invictus is good as civ 4 vanilla +. caveman to cosmos is insane in it's sheer scale. if c 2 c is too crazy i'd say go with new dawn, which like c2c is basically a modular total conversion mod. it might take some time but you can tune it exactly how you want, turning on or off specific features and add-ons. often i play where the game starts with only a few civs but they tend to break apart and have civil wars etc as well as new ones pop up in the unexplored areas for a really dynamic game. plus it actually lets you do a communism without the brainworms.
Seconding this, C2C is really fun. Back in the day, the game would glitch out for me since it was so feature heavy on larger maps around the Renaissance. Newer computers with the memory patch will probably laugh off everything I'd imagine. I remember reading books between turns it took so long, even on smaller maps.
I tried playing C2C recently, but kept getting frustrated with the AI's failure to expand or do much. Is there any setting combo that can make the AI an actual threat?
be on the highest difficulty is pretty much the only thing. Also, disable barbarians.
Just seconding this. Also weaken yourself to give the illusion of stronger AI, for example the less resources option.
Rev DCM. It adds barbarians becoming civs, revolutions and some other stuff.
It makes the game much more dynamic.
Fall From Heaven 2 is a mandatory mod to try. It could be a standalone. I'll second A New Dawn.
I always wanted civ to be a sim of civilizational development. Civ 6 is probably the furthest the series has gotten away from that. It's more like a video board game. Don't get me wrong, I think it's very good and fun, but I still want to garden a little big picture civilization from stones to rockets.
I felt the same way, its a board game. Civ4 has been my favorite, but i wish there was a better successor.
There are other games in the genre with a similar premise, but none of them really have it.
I think districts ruin Civ6 for me, I just keep going back to Civ5 over that.
All the buildings are bad. Love to start a barracks in the stone age and finish it in the medieval age.
