Racial diversity in a game is good and all, but if the Franco-Iberian leader is going to be some brown southern Spaniard and the Eastern European leader some super-tanned Greek woman, I'll be a tiny bit annoyed.

White people do make up ~20% of the world. Accepting racial diversity doesn't come about by way of pretending they don't exist at all.

Don't worry, the Eastern European leader is named "General Kozlov." With a name like that, I feel he'll look like the Military Advisor.

[–]polkiujhytgfredswqa( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) 38 ポイント39 ポイント

His last name means "Goat-man" in Russian.

[–]Ztardgimme your lecture notes, dweeb 15 ポイント16 ポイント

brilliant

They finally made a character that trans-species individuals can identify with.

Hey, there's a mod idea for a Planet of the Apes contingent

So Ruso-Welsh, then.

[–]redrhyski 0 ポイント1 ポイント

Da, butt.

[–]StalinForReagan 5 ポイント6 ポイント

I fully expect General Kozlov to be wearing an Adidas track suit, squating on the ground, having horribly pale skin, caving in eye sockets, and holding a Baltika in his picture. Anything less and I will be disappointed.

Are you just objecting to the fact that the American leader is multiracial, or do you take issue with the South Asian faction leader being from South Asia, the African leader being African, or the East Asian leader being from East Asia?

There will be at least two white leaders, never fear. And believe it or not, tanned Greeks and southern Spaniards happen to be white also. And there are plenty of people of all backgrounds in the United States, so I would never think to object to our leader being non-white.

[–]EMPulse 28 ポイント29 ポイント

Game after game after game comes out lily white, no problem, let's ignore the 80% of the world that isn't white.

One games shows off four characters who aren't white, and all of a sudden it's a big deal.

Yeah, I'm so sorry you are stuck experiencing my world, where people who look like me are invisible. What the fuck ever.

Wow I hurt my eyes from rolling them there...

[–]break_yo_self 6 ポイント7 ポイント

True. But scientists do estimate that in the not too distant future we will all be some sort of mocha/caramel color due to continued racial mixing. Depending on when exactly this game takes place, the world could already be that way. Just a thought.

[–]thedurka 9 ポイント10 ポイント

That... Isn't at all how genetics work. Phenotypes don't just blend and mix, usually one is dominant. It's not like all our eyes have turned brown despite centuries of mixing.

[–]Crowjoe 0 ポイント1 ポイント

This man fucking knows

[–]Sacha117 -3 ポイント-2 ポイント

What? Have you never seen a half white half black baby? They mixed bro... The baby comes out a lovely tanned colour, not black or white. We all gonna be kinda tanned in the future a according to research you find in Google.

[–]FrndlyMisanthrpeI got Seoul, but I'm not a Seoulger 1 ポイント2 ポイント

Eh, makes sense. Plenty of Europeans looked like that in the past to begin with so it's not even that surprising.

[–]JosefTheFritzlPerhaps you'd like the UN to invoke sanctions? Ha ha! 0 ポイント1 ポイント

Meh, I'm just glad you don't have to internalize your chosen leader the way you would in an RPG or something.

I can play as Dido in Civ V, but nothing about my interactions with other civilizations suggests that I am a woman. Nor does my interaction with other civilizations change based on choosing Askia and being black.

I just picture myself as a white dude leading the Songhai or Carthage.

[–]AleixASVRome of Roman Romans -1 ポイント0 ポイント

Waait wait wait... Franco-Iberian you say? Hell no! European Union or nothing what is this crap? I know that we'll get more european civs this way but here in Barcelona no one will buy that story, especially if the leader is some andaluz with accent.

Sorry, kid, if you're Norse or Germanic, you're split between the squatters and the Frenchies.

[–]AleixASVRome of Roman Romans 0 ポイント1 ポイント

Nahnah, Catalan... it's worse, waaaaay worse, have you've been looking at our shit lately? The last thing we'd want is a union with Spain

[–]RegardsFromDolan 0 ポイント1 ポイント

Well, that's just, like, your opinion man.

[–]AleixASVRome of Roman Romans -1 ポイント0 ポイント

Not in a game that involves politics, which by the way, due to the setting of the game, does

[–]RegardsFromDolan 0 ポイント1 ポイント

I mean your opinion is not that of all the people living in Catalonia, and on top of that this "Franco-Iberian" union would be something similar to the European Union, and even if Catalonia got split from Spain they would probably form part of the European Union or other similar organizations.

[–]AleixASVRome of Roman Romans 0 ポイント1 ポイント

Yes that's the point: We'd like to be a part of the EU Union but separated and differentiated from Spain... And seriously, if you think this is only my opinion, watch the news or something, you've had your time

[–]RegardsFromDolan 0 ポイント1 ポイント

Many people in Catalonia wants to split, many people wants to stay, the only way to know is if there's a vote, but I just don't think it's fair to talk as if your opinion was the one of the majority.

[–]AleixASVRome of Roman Romans 0 ポイント1 ポイント

But it is, that's why we're demanding the vote

[–]FrndlyMisanthrpeI got Seoul, but I'm not a Seoulger 1 ポイント2 ポイント

I'm just surprised Germoney didn't into all Euro clay.

[–]AleixASVRome of Roman Romans -1 ポイント0 ポイント

So do I

[–]AB1125 0 ポイント1 ポイント

This is supposedly quite a bit into the future. Who knows if there will be a WWIII between now and then according to the story with the former Eastern Bloc nations uniting with Russia against a France/UK/Western Europe alliance that splits the EU in half, there is already concern on the Eastern part of the EU about Russia's rise

[–]AleixASVRome of Roman Romans 6 ポイント7 ポイント

And where are Germany, England, Sweedes and such? Besides, I don't see Poland and the Baltics siding with Russia in a milion years

[–]hiroukan 1 ポイント2 ポイント

Well there are probably some states they are saving for the expansions. A United Scandinavia would be the civ of my dreams.

[–]AleixASVRome of Roman Romans 5 ポイント6 ポイント

Something like this from a previous post?

[–]FrndlyMisanthrpeI got Seoul, but I'm not a Seoulger 1 ポイント2 ポイント

Not everyone can afford a space program now. Why should the future be different?

[–]AleixASVRome of Roman Romans 0 ポイント1 ポイント

Well I mean, Franco-Iberic? we here don't have shit. Maybe we have discovered unobtanium or something in the middle of La Sagrada Família but I doubt it.

[–]AB1125 0 ポイント1 ポイント

Germany will likely be the battleground of such a conflict, but I would imagine it currently siding with the Franco-Iberians. England is definitely in there. The Sweedes were likely included in the Eastern Bloc. I'm not saying those nations would willingly join, they weren't exactly happy with the setup in the USSR either, but they didn't have a choice, none of those nations has any way of stopping Russian aggression except Germany which I think would be in Western Europe anyway.

[–]AleixASVRome of Roman Romans 1 ポイント2 ポイント

Well in that case... Europe and slavs should be militaristic right? Probably western europe is militar-supremacy and eastern militar-purity

[–]AB1125 1 ポイント2 ポイント

I think they are, I heard their leader is a general something in russian lol, I don't know if western europe will be militaristic, if anything I think the US will be militaristic, but I dk because it seems the US has a purity biased start, so it would be weird if both military focused civs were also purity

[–]AleixASVRome of Roman Romans -1 ポイント0 ポイント

Nah, I've seen in a previous post that US isn't militar focused

[–]Pesusieni 1 ポイント2 ポイント

not to make fun but.

Finland would in no way hell join the east block, im sorry to say but if anything history has thought as that, Finland + east block is NO NO.

if anything we would join up with the other nordic welfare states + maybe germany to make our own alliance.

Edit: i thought i add, while you are not talking about Finland at all, you did state that your opinion is that swedes would be in the eastern block, which lead me to conclude you would also think the same of Finland.

the whole point is that the Nordic countries will always see themselves more as western than eastern always. the cultural difference between Nordic countries and the east is just so big.

Perhaps it could be related to the Great Mistake we keep hearing about?
