    It's funny that stonehenge has to be built next to stone - because the real stone henge is made of stones brought from miles and miles away - it's one of the mysteries of the place, why did people put so much effort into moving the stones so far?

    • @Platinumb1
      @Platinumb1 8 років тому +80

      Why do people believe in so many different religions with very little proof?
      Why do people go around insulting each other without reason?
      Why do we kill each other over things that will be forgotten in a hundred years?
      Why are so many humans stupid?

      The site is a graveyard,with evidence of mass killing, so it possible it was a temple with human sacrifice or some other form of spiritual killing.It can also be a monument for a battle.

      If something as amazing as stonehenge is ascribable to human stupidity - then, let's have more stupidity!

      Celestina If you think there is anything clever about stonehenge then thank you for reinforcing my point.

      "its design includes a celestial observatory function, which might have allowed prediction of eclipse, solstice, equinox and other celestial events important to a contemporary religion"
      en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stonehenge#Function_and_construction
      Not only that, archaeologists *still don't know* how people with only primitive technology built it. You don't seem to be that knowledgeable about how amazing stonehenge actually is, both in engineering skill and early measuring of time through celestial observance

      Has there been some sort of popular UA-cam video out right now that's disseminated this knowledge about "Hitler and Nazism being liberal" or something? I've been seeing posts like this for a while now. People seem to be sprouting this mindlessly like hipsters to seem smart without understanding what fascism even means in the first place. I've seen people go on about it without understanding how the classic right-left dichotomy works, so I'm a little suspicious that a movement is brewing around here on the internet again.
      There's been a popular book about this released about eight years ago called "Liberal Fascism" among others, so it seems unlikely that so many people have magically started reading 500+ page books all of a sudden, getting the same, watered-down idea.

    • @xz9533

      @Sinaeb 8 років тому +16

      The clouds ain't fog of war, it's the darker terrain that was in the fog of war, the clouds were inexplored areas.

      which means that the only things that are really changed are numbers, ui tweaks and bug fixes. Its very rare for a game to massively remodel their game close to its release

    • @elimalinsky7069

    number one thing that I care about in Civ 6 is that the AI actually works. I know its way early, but how has the AI been holding up?

    • @Zh00c3q
      @Zh00c3q 8 років тому +7

      Yeah, I see how they improved AI while they still have buttons that dont even work. Also why would you improve AI If you can make higher difficulty with AI getting ever more ridiculous bonuses?

    • @coolhunter3
      @coolhunter3 8 років тому +21

      If they improve the AI they can make those rediculous bonuses less rediculous.

    • @Zh00c3q
      @Zh00c3q 8 років тому +21

      @randombanana That would be perfect, but thats fantasy. It's 2016 and developers still aren't able to/dont have resources/time/dont want to program AI that would do smart tactics. Quill even said, that he usually dont even try to build any wonders because AI's are almost guaranteed to beat human player. And I guess for a long time it still would be like: Give AI insane bonuses, so that only way to defeat it is to find loophole that AI don't know how to react and abuse it. Multiplayer with other humans is the only way to get fair game.

    • @coolhunter3
      @coolhunter3 8 років тому

      Zh00c3q I know, i played Civ5 for about 500 hours. Usually play on immortal, wich is easy enough when you know what stuff to abuse. But i really couldn't be bothered to learn Deity, it's not like it's that challenging anyway once you know the loopholes.

      +Mr Cuddlesworth Well, it'll probably still have big wars and nukes. Although I'm not liking the weird comic booky special effects when units fight against each other, even though the combat animation is still better than in Civ 5.

    • @OdysseyThe01
      @OdysseyThe01 8 років тому

He went full genocide mode and we broke out into a 3000 year war in which my last city, Paris, was nuked.I had fun playing it for years after that.

      Having watched some more episodes, it does look like Australia. I thought it was random because the continent is way to far south to be Australia.
      But I would suspect continent names still be generated on random maps for flavors and some clarity to easily spot to witch continent an island belongs to, since some unique abilities do thing on the home continent.

      looks nice to me. But Civ players are still bitching about how Civ V ruined Civ or something. It's just like how magic the gathering players would keeping crying each set about how the new set ruined magic. Magic was ruined many many times according to them. I played both Civ IV and Civ V and preferred Civ V. I figure this looks like more of the same. I will dislike some things and like other things, and I will simply adapt to the changes. I am just glad to see something new, because played Civ V enough times to no longer want to play it, so any change is probably good. I am mainly interested in whether Diplomacy will still suck, whether trades will still suck, whether there will be religion, what victory conditions there will be, etc. I especially wish the AI Civs would stop insisting on one sided deals. In Civ they almost never wanted to do fair deals on luxury resources and such. They kept changing Diplomacy and no matter what, AIs seemed a bit insane to me

      I think you got it a little wrong. People are complaining because they are used to the art-style of say, Civ 5 in Civ games. That they do a complete 180 is bad form. They prefer realistic graphics for games of this sort, but they may , say, prefer more cartoony graphics for other types of games like Overwatch and TF2.

      Hey Mansen! Yes, I think the graphics are more toy than strategy game. I also feel like they are just moving more and more away from what civ was originally. But that may just be me. Civ5 looked, felt and played like a console game, and this game looks to do the same.

The graphics look bad to me, it's hard to see what's going on, resources, routes, etc. Add in the fact that movement is now atrocious, combat appears to be worse than ever, and starting locations determine if you can build a wonder which can change everything? Come on. And the "unique" abilities of civilizations sound anything but unique. One civilization gets extra combat strength on another continent (what if pangea?) vs another that gets the same bonus but on a different continent? Ugh, come on.

Also I don't understand how/why you can research 2 techs at once @16:55 you have both Mysticism and Sailing... I don't get it.Does the purple culture just get discovered in a linear fashion without any input? didn't notice you choosing mysticism in a civic tree.
