I have 3 friends that I play Civ V with weekly, in person LAN parties maybe once or twice a year. Civ 6 never caught on and I’m the youngest in the group (at 39) so I just went with it. But going by the principle that odd number Civs are good we are excited for 2025.
There was a ridiculous, completely unbalanced version they published just after Alpha Centauri where the most powerful unit was a van-looking ecoterrorism thing that transformed everything around it into forest.
You mean Civilization: Call to Power. The unit was called the Eco Ranger. And they did make a sequel to it, called Call to Power 2. In some ways it was better, some worse. That being said, CTP1 is my favorite civ of all time (not counting SMAC). They should definitely make another sequel if they can keep the stuff that made it great. Kills me that I can’t get a modern working version of the original somewhere.
No information about Alpha Centauri 2? I posit an AC quote then:
“Beware of he who would deny you access to information, for in his heart he dreams himself your master.” -Commissioner Pravin Lal, ‘U.N. Declaration of Rights’
I sent an email thanking them for making Sid Meier’s Pirates! and they sent an email back thanking me for my interest and that no new game was planned. Which…wasn’t my email, but still very sad!
That shirtless guy in Morrowwind was an asshole. Sending some kid into a basement to fight giant rats well knowing that it’d be their first battle and likely not surviving, while he stayed at home shirtless and well fit to remove those pestering rats, just pretending to be an alcoholic or something.
I mean your whole argument still stands though because iirc correctly the first real quest he gives is the “go into the bandit filled murder robot dungeon and find a tiny ass Rubik’s cube”
I am so proud of myself for remembering this. I was 13 and I didn’t get much further than that quest. I remember being so taken aback that my character was so weak they struggled to kill rats.
I don’t remember any FF game having a rat killing side quest even at the beginning of the game, let alone at the end after you’ve killed gods. Shit… I don’t even recall FF having side quests at all until, like, 7 with the optional boss battles for powerful materia.
Trails in the Sky definitely comes to mind. But if you browse Square Enix’s catalogue, there’s probably plenty that fulfill it. Final Fantasy stands out because it’s a little less tropey.
