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.

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.

Civ 4 has a killer theme too

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?

The civ 4 quotes are far better, rest in peace Leonard Nimoy

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.

didn't Civ4 had Fascism as a required tech for Mount Rushmore?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 years ago* (last edited 3 years ago)

: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.
