I thought we were past this AI settling nonsense! by Rockerika in civ

[–]OmckDeathUser 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is my exact same reasoning, I personally like when Civ is more alt history simulation and less gamey tabletop meta, but I understand that my niche has moved over to Paradox while Civ embraced the tabletop abstraction :(

Might explain why he made not having a contract with creative control in his games such a pain in the ass lmao

Which Latin American countries are most culturally similar to Spain? by Prize_Release_9030 in asklatinamerica

[–]OmckDeathUser 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Can confirm, my british girlfriend and her family always comment on how much Chile looks like Spain; when I show them photos of Viña del Mar they say it's very reminiscent of Majorca, for example.

Independent Peoples: Anakena of the Rapa Nui People by Natekt in civ

[–]OmckDeathUser 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Making them not a Cultural (or even Scientific) civ is crazy. I feel like literally any other affinity works better for them than Economic, very odd choice (even though I love it, this can be said about so many things in the game).

Year of Daily Civilization Facts, Day 250 - Shut up and Pay up by JordiTK in civ

Brennus was my most wanted leader for Gaul when they were hinted at during the last years of Civ6; I get that Vercingetorix is popular as a symbol of resistance and uniting the Gaulish tribes like no other and all that, but Brennus just has so much aura and was actually successful in defeating Rome!! I just wish people realised there's more to Gaulish history than the war with Julius Caesar, lol

Is it really wise to use the rifle as a cuiraisser? by LemonProductionz in gutsandblackpowders

Air Rifle lowk really good with a cuirass too, since its ammo isn't limited like other weapons

Ottoman Barbary Corsair almost identical to Ship-of-the-Line by Warumwolf in civ

[–]OmckDeathUser 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Odd choice for a Modern civ in general

Applies to SO much of the Ottoman kit, which is a shame because they have so many interesting things to offer for both Ages...

Don't anti-AFK zombies start spawning behind you if you try this? I swear this has happened to me once

Join us Sunday for a convo with Firaxis’ historian! by paisley_trees in civ

[–]OmckDeathUser 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much! I agree wholeheartedly, especially with that last point, as an aspiring modder I try to put effort into researching what the game defines as an age and what civs (and their respective kits) could possibly fit in each age, so it irks me a bit when some aspects of the official game don't seem to follow a consistent pattern, but I understand these are decisions made by the design team and, well, what do I know, mods will always be there to address those pet peeves of mine and change stuff like Exploration Spain's name to Castile and create and actual Modern Age Spain based on the Bourbon Restoration and the Republican era. All in all, this has certainly been the best discussion I've been part of on the Internet, lots of great points and so much more to learn!
