That would be cool if they could actually come up with something believable for each, although it wouldn't have the same impact if the Celts had Stonehenge and the Iriquois only had a generic stone pile...and considering that each game is unique, coming up with a universal reason for each would seem near impossible. I mean, The Statue of Liberty was a gift from the French built for a specific event, how do you have an Iriquois version when you can build it at various times for no in-game reason?rsvp42 said:Funny how the UN means world peace in the game, but not in real life.

It just seems weird to me that the mighty Iroquois nation would build THE statue of liberty or THE Eiffel Tower. Or Stonehenge. Shouldn't they have their own unique structures and design?
Yeah something like that would be nice. What I love about this game's idea is that it allows you to take a particular culture in history and direct its course in ways that have never been seen (because the culture died out, was conquered, etc). I absolutely love the idea of a Native American tribe ending up as a world power, having an industrial revolution and all that. It's a cool idea. I saw a screenshot from a game like this where ancient Egypt had survived with all its architecture and design sensibility into like, the future or something. Maybe it was a Civilization game? Either way, that idea is more appealing to me. Egyptians should have cool statues, pyramids, and obelisks. Native American tribes could have epic totem poles or some big altar to a wind spirit.ArmorArmadillo said:That would be cool if they could actually come up with something believable for each, although it wouldn't have the same impact if the Celts had Stonehenge and the Iriquois only had a generic stone pile...and considering that each game is unique, coming up with a universal reason for each would seem near impossible.

An alternate system which could be cool is if you didn't build specific wonders, but instead you could focus resources to "Monuments", and it would lead to generating a monument unique to your culture and era (Egyptians build Pyramids, Celts build Stonehenge etc) and get a random benefit to represent the unpredictable nature of monument building.
Amen to that.aldowyn said:Best. Preview. EVER!
Seriously, you should role-play more previews like this, because that was awesome!
yeah civrev was really good. Anyway, there can't be that much different between the PC and Console versions beside different controls, or is there something I am missingKorten12 said:I remember my friends saying Civ Rev wasn't that bad.Irridium said:There was no console version of Civ 4. There was Civilization Revolutions, a Civ game built specifically for consoles, but thats it.laryri said:What? The PC version will be better than the console version of Civ 4 if that's what you're saying. There probably isn't going to be a console version of Civ 5.Chunko said:I can't wait to play this game, I hope it's better than the console version of civ 4 though.
OT: I want this game so badly. Like, seriously, very, very badly.
Real men develop hype-advanced technology and conquer space instead!Vrach said:I too, talk in a pretentious accent while playing Civilization, young Hiawatha!
Also, diplomatic victory is for pussies. Real men win by full world conquest!
