[Mr. Strange]

And with this I've officially had my share of Miriam/Morgan shipping for the day.

"The Morgans fear something that cannot be bought, because they cannot comprehend a thing that is priceless. Like my love~"

[Twi]

Think of  it as privatizing world peace.

...The economics adviser is Nanoha.

This explains so much.

(And yet nothing at all. If confused, see sigtext.)

[DreamThorn]

I look forward to modding in more and more planet types.  We will have a whole galaxy to explore!

Also:

Stuff like everyone is winner and make game easier for player to boost their ego, fudge odds so player doesn't lose (like XCOM 2012 increasing odds of hitting after a miss)

In XCOM the odds fudging and AI-action-limiting is only on Easy and 'Normal'.  Classic and Impossible don't cheat.

small grace that this board isn't full of grammar nazis.

On a related note, why does everyone misspell Deirdre?  (It has two Rs) Rhetorical question.

[Descan]

Let's hope it's a little more mod-able.

Based on the number of mods of Civ5 and XCOM, compared to Civ4? Firaxis hasn't had the best track-record lately...

[ZeroGravitas]

Civ4 and Civ5 had blurbs where Civ2 did not. To me, that means the people making those games thought it was a good thing (probably because lots of players like that idea too), but they couldn't manage quite the same thing because while the function is the same, the flavor is not. Like a cake, but instead of sugar icing you have some aberrant horror like cream cheese.

Eh, the quotes in Civ 4 and 5 are okay. Civ 5 is a bit better.

What. The tech quotes in Civ 4 are way better. And voice by Nimoy...

Everything is better with Nimoy.  EVERYTHING

I'm wondering how long it would take after release for someone to reverse engineer Alpha centauri factions into Civ: BE.
I'm sure it would depend on how the game is received, if it's considered mostly a poor knockoff then maybe the reverse would happen, with people making CIV:BE factions and playing them in SMAC.
Now a total conversion mod would probably be started somewhere down the line but of course those take ages, the game would be obsolete by the time it's finished.

Wow. I like civ 5 a lot, but they really did poorly on the quotes. The ONLY one that is better is the atuomobile.

Civ 4 highlights:

"The bureaucracy is expanding to meet the needs of the expanding bureaucracy." (I have said this many times at work)

"Beep.... Beep... Beep.. Beep."

"You can get more of what you want with a kind word and a gun, than just a kind word"

Also boo to the series not using Bobba Yetu as their theme song forever.

[Digital Hellhound]

I have Baba Yetu in my iTunes still. It serves as my morning wakeup music most of the time. Not using it in Civ V was a crime against all that's good in the world.

All Civ IV's sounds are freely useable from the game files, btw. Younger me used to make videos with Civ IV sound effects with my friends, they were amazing.

[Descan]

Is... Is Bob(b)a Yetu like, Fetts younger cousin or something?

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Baba Yetu, my friend. Do not do sacrilege to the best theme music I've heard.

[Fikes]

You are all correct. To make up for this fact I will let you know that I played that song as the ending ceremony for MY WEDDING.

I also got a Weighted Companion Cube cake as a grooms cake. I have a cool wife.

[Shadowlord]

Baba Yetu is good, but I don't think it's Hell March good (particularly Hell March 2 and 3). 

[MarcAFK]

Yeah, But you have problems if hell march is appropriate for your wedding.

[Descan]

You misspelled "the best spouse" there.
