SMH at these fake gamer boys trying to push their politics into our hobby

imo civ should stop being woke and retvrn to tradition by adding back Stalin and Mao as leaders.

No no no you see the only FAKE gamers are GIRLS even if they've been playing Civ since 1991.

[-] Des@hexbear.net 21 points 2 months ago

i learned about Civ at a friend's house because his mom was playing it on PC. she would probalbly be about 65 now

[-] DamarcusArt@lemmygrad.ml 17 points 2 months ago

And not just that, multiple civ haves have had F*male Leaders! The whole series is completely gone woke!

[-] combat_brandonism@hexbear.net 15 points 2 months ago

wait they had specific north american civs before regressing to 'native american' in 4?

[-] DamarcusArt@lemmygrad.ml 18 points 2 months ago

Yeah, it was...a very strange decision. They have Sitting Bull as their leader, Dog soldiers as their unique unit and Totem poles as their unique building. It's uhh...not great.

[-] BeamBrain@hexbear.net 14 points 2 months ago

yea

[-] DamarcusArt@lemmygrad.ml 14 points 2 months ago

At least Stalin and Mao are in the game, even if Stalin is an "aggressive" leader and their civpedia entries are even libbier than wikipedia.

DEI is when your media has someone other than an 18-31 year old White Straight Cis Male in it

gamer-gulag We demand more realism from our video games!!

normal Ogey

It's shocking to me that there hasn't been an Israel/Judea Civ in 6 iterations of the game. And yet, with everything going on in that corner of the world now, most of my hope for an Israel Civ in Civ 7 is mostly gone. It rather stupid, I think, because there is no other logical choice for a representation of Jewish culture (while there are many for Christianity and Islam). Those of us who want a Israel Civ do not necessarily support the modern Israeli government; but tend to be very interested in ancient Israel. Yet, I can only imagine the outcry if Firaxis added it now.

On a different note: I think Ukraine and Tibet are completely different situations. A Ukraine Civ would be absolutely awesome, and I'd love to see Firaxis snub Russia by doing this. Give them Volodymyr the Great as a leader.

As for Tibet, (also the case with Taiwan, Manchuria, and East Turkestan) there is no real controversy, except for one solely manufactured by the Chinese government. Firaxis, like most capitalist businesses, would rather get money than stand on morals.

It's worth noting that many Americans would welcome more Native American Civs or even civs based on states; but compare this to the Chinese government's reaction.

Just in case someone gets offended by my take: I have no issue with Russian, Chinese, Palestinian, or Israeli people. Their governments on the other hand? I do. Big time.

emphasis mine lmao

I saw it so you should too

[-] iridaniotter@hexbear.net 25 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

As for Tibet, (also the case with Taiwan, Manchuria, and East Turkestan)

???

Tibet actually has a history of being a sovereign nation centuries ago, so for a civilization in the game you could base it off of that I guess. That's not the case for the other three. Like you could do the Manchus but they literally became China. It would just be weird.

[-] thethirdgracchi@hexbear.net 16 points 2 months ago

To be fair to "East Turkistan" you could totally add a Uighur/Tarim Basin/Sogdian civilization centered around trade that would be awesome. Tibet would also make a great civ, had many wars with China for control over the Tarim basin, specifically during the Tang.

[-] Krem@hexbear.net 11 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

civ 5 had polynesia, so they could have a Taiwan city i guess. maybe the maori in civ 6 could be changed to be pan-pacific islander and they could also have a taiwan?

oh he meant 17th-19th century taiwan under dutch, ming and qing settlement? those civs already exist, they can settle an island

oh he meant taiwan under japanese occupation? that civ already exists, that's a warmonger penalty

oh he meant 20th century taiwan post civil-war under mainland GMD occupation? that's... idk

oh he meant 21st century taiwan under gmd/democrat leadership and flirting with independence? that's oddly specific. gonna need a Lao civ, a Sri Lanka civ, a Burkina Faso civ etc before that.

[-] Philosoraptor@hexbear.net 20 points 2 months ago

civs based on states

hitler-detector

[-] heggs_bayer@hexbear.net 5 points 2 months ago

That could be funny in that you could roleplay Balkanizing Amerikkka.

[-] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 2 points 2 months ago

Taiwan, Manchuria, and East Turkestan

These fascist ghouls just love to bring this shit up at every opportunity. Also, Manchuria? What the fuck?

[-] Ram_The_Manparts@hexbear.net 21 points 2 months ago

Oh look at the galaxy-brain

[-] iridaniotter@hexbear.net 20 points 2 months ago

Research is woke. If your sources aren't solely your dreams then you're not a real scholar.

[-] heggs_bayer@hexbear.net 8 points 2 months ago

"I made it the fuck up" and "crack pipe" are also valid sources.

[-] GenderIsOpSec@hexbear.net 13 points 2 months ago

Civ 4, Mount Rushmore is a wonder you can only build under the fascist government

[-] anarchoilluminati@hexbear.net 13 points 2 months ago

If Civ ever starts mentioning Communism, I'll never play that woke trash again.

[-] Xavienth@lemmygrad.ml 7 points 2 months ago

Civ 6 has communism as a type of government you can adopt from the civic tree

[-] anarchoilluminati@hexbear.net 5 points 2 months ago

Cool! I haven't played 6 yet, but I love 4 and it has Communism too. As well as Stalin and Mao. I was just making fun of this person for being totally oblivious to things that were in Civilization games for a long time, if not always.

[-] 666@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 2 months ago

As always, this simply was the best CIV game. Yang was...problematic (chinese faction that uses mass-forced collectivism bc Sid is a libshit) but imo this game was less problematic than almost all the CIV games afterwards...especially with how they treated natives. Another thing is that it's definitely a massive CW with cruelty to "living beings" in general. There are "secret projects" that are like the wonders in CIV but with technological breakthroughs. One of these secret projects show a industrial farming facility with one of the leaders talking about "perfected, cloned human beings". As you can imagine, grim stuff worthy of a CW.

If you're unfamiliar, it's an old CIV; so you get support units, infinite stacks, etc. It also was the civ game where you could customize specific units and redesign them. Ocean colonization. Weird, theoretical technology. The entire planet is alive and it's immune system says you don't belong.

It's also the only Civ game that harshly, harshly criticizes Capitalism, like with Morgan industries. It also has a shitpost worthy secret project from Morgan; behold

I wonder why CHUDS don't talk about it. Maybe because they can't understand any of it?
