Sid Meier’s Civilization VII (February 11, 2025)
- Thread starter Responsible Allen Iverson
- Start date
This is still the one I play the most. Civ 6 is cool but the AI was so screwy when it first released that I was turned off quickly. I came back to it a year or so later after a number of updates and it was a much better experience. I just hated the focus on districts. I didn't like the way it forced you to construct cities. I could never quite get the synergy right. And I also found the game much less hospitable to domination victories. It just felt like it was more focused on culture and science. Maybe some would disagree but I that's how it came off to me. I'm glad VII will have fewer districts and I'll be interested to see how the combinations of leaders and different Civs will mesh and then fold into different ages. Could be a good time.

It's getting to the point where people are popping off if a black character even appears in a game, even fantasy games sometimes.

IIRC. CiV 6 did quite respectably on the consoles so it makes sense.

Cacs ruined the gaming community. If it's not a straight white male then it's a woke agenda in their incel minds.
Controversial oppinion but She doesn't fit the mold of a civ leader at all. I agree with you that there is opposition to black people in gaming . But Being a great person doesn't mean that you lead a civilization. I dont see how she adds anything to any of the skill trees or development functions of a civ game.
In the American context, its no coincidence that literal Presidents like Lincoln or Roosevelt are up there because they literally lead a nation, had economic, academic , and military policy. With the exception of minor military contribution, Tubman isn't a good fit.
Due to racism black Americans had no person in an official leadership capacity like Lincoln or Roosevelt until obama existed. However , i think a strong case could be made for Booker T or MLK since they mirror ghandi(who wasnt an official head of state) in earlier civ games but made policy contributions. I raise this point because both Washington and King had real economic, educational, and production value. King would be brilliant for cultural development too.
North America also has other key players that could fit in Civ. For example Haiti's Dessaline is perfect and would have monument , military, and production uniqueness. He'd unfortunately have the same education handicap as Mali in civ 6 unless they gave him some kind of science buff like norway had in civ 6

I wonder if they cant make some people leaders because they are copyrighted like MLK. I'm cool with Tubman because who knows how much more she could have accomplished if she was not born into slavery, and she was supposed to be on a 20 dollar bill so she has the popularity too.
