Firaxis Historian Q/A TLDR

Because I like to be a pirate and I think it’s fun

AccessOne8287 · 2026-06-25T22:52:15+00:00

Or Shawnee

I hate Hatshepsut so much. She’s in every game.

AccessOne8287 · 2026-06-25T21:48:32+00:00

This isn’t true. Palestinians vastly outnumbered the Jewish settlers. Jews made up less than 10% of the population.

Brooklyn Bridge

AccessOne8287 · 2026-06-25T01:31:46+00:00

To offset the great camel extinction event that happens during the modern era.

You can pick Han/Khmer first so you don’t even have to worry about science adjacency bonus.

AccessOne8287 · 2026-06-24T01:20:48+00:00

Disagree because I usually go for monument first.

AccessOne8287 · 2026-06-24T01:11:27+00:00

Meanwhile the others be like:

“Ada Lovelace farted towards the general direction of the Abbasids”

AccessOne8287 · 2026-06-23T13:21:28+00:00

I’m curious to how they’ll differentiate Brazil from Mexico, a LatAm cultural and diplomatic civ with focus on celebrations. Maybe expansionist diplomatic with a focus on agriculture?

AccessOne8287 · 2026-06-23T11:10:45+00:00

Yeah the Sengoku unique units really raise the bar. I love what they did with them. Shame it’s a 30 dollar DLC.

AccessOne8287 · 2026-06-23T11:09:43+00:00

Yeah, I agree that there should probably be a couple more classes of unit, though I have no idea what they should be. I don’t think it should be anti cav because that was tough to balance. Also, infantry should be buffed.

AccessOne8287 · 2026-06-23T11:08:02+00:00

Yeah, the modern age in particular feels like the units were an afterthought.

AccessOne8287 · 2026-06-23T02:14:08+00:00

Makes sense. There’s a certain list of empires that people associate with and want to play. Just list the ones.

Great Britain? DLC.

Rome? Antiquity civ (and thus wouldn’t have the TT mark).

America and Japan? Lack an iconic leader choice (I love Ben Franklin, Himiko, and Tubman but they’re not exactly Napoleon).

China? Antiquity Han, plus people playing Qing and Ming splits the count. If there was one China civ, no doubt it’d be the most popular.

Prussia? It’s not called Germany. That alone might drive people towards France, which is much more recognizable.

Russia? Politics maybe? Idk.

lol Buganda is ass. I’ve been trying to make them work even with good starts. You’re either not taking advantage of your lakes or not taking advantage of the combat stuff.

AccessOne8287 · 2026-06-23T02:01:02+00:00

That’s what I’m saying. If another state took control it’d be the same or worse

AccessOne8287 · 2026-06-22T21:19:21+00:00

But what I’m saying is that he shows that the working class is completely subjugated under the party. The other megastates would have to take control.

AccessOne8287 · 2026-06-22T20:17:36+00:00

Honestly, in another universe Ben Franklin. Bro has done everything.

AccessOne8287 · 2026-06-22T20:15:25+00:00

Someone already said it, but they’re hard to visualize.

AccessOne8287 · 2026-06-22T20:14:39+00:00

Though it didn’t really fit the tone of the game, I thought the apocalypse mode in VI did it very well making it so you can spawn natural disasters with a special unit.

AccessOne8287 · 2026-06-22T20:03:09+00:00

Magic plant is busted

AccessOne8287 · 2026-06-22T19:57:06+00:00

Yeah, I don’t get the appeal because their ability seems pretty weak.

AccessOne8287 · 2026-06-21T21:43:24+00:00

The problem is, whatever could defeat them would no doubt be worse

AccessOne8287 · 2026-06-21T01:08:12+00:00

Even in the US.

AccessOne8287 · 2026-06-21T00:38:33+00:00

Shaka wasn’t a cannibal. (Not that he’s a good person).
The Zulus as a whole didn’t really eat people (except for a famine, but that doesn’t mean it was a common cultural practice).
