No kidding. Letting you know how much damage you're going to do, exactly, is something they all seem allergic to. Makes one appreciate FE, despite all the rants.

Saint Rubenio Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 (edited) I was about to remark how disappointed I was that Paralogue 1 was still available. But Mozu got nuked for Ike and Lucina. Who are... ever so slightly less disappointing, probably still bench material not gonna lie. EDIT: Mozu did not get nuked. She's still there, just Ike and Lucina are also there. Rejoice, Mozu fans. Honestly? I just appreciate the experience for Team Garon. 6 minutes ago, Shrimpresident said: It's something i honestly only really noticed after i played FE but since FE is a mainstay in my game library for now and the forseeable future Please don't pulla a Trails on me, it becomes very apparent everytime i play a rpg and go ''i wish i had info ala FE atm'' lol Yeah, same here. After all these years playing FE, with games like Into The Breach as my non-FE strategy experiences, it's something you come to notice.

Saint Rubenio Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 Oh wait, never mind. Mozu did get nuked. She's still on the map, but the faceless boss has been moved next to her. It stole Lucina and Ike's personal weapons, too, which it uses to blow the little girl out of the park. Ah well. Someone else will cry for her. As for me... I neglected to mention reclass options. Since supports aren't a thing in this hack, the modder added extra reclass options for everyone. Niles, for instance, gets to become a dark flier. Awesome. Also I just missed a 96. Because Ruben luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GuardianSing Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 13 hours ago, Interdimensional Observer said: Sitting Bull actually. Better I suppose, but still kinda bad. It's aged about as well as the joke of using an image of Al Gore for the Internet technology. They've certainly done more research with more the recent games. At the least, they're finding linguists to try pronouncing dead languages like Akkadian. Not to say there still aren't some mistakes- Boudicca & Ambiorix should not be painted with woad, that is caustic on the skin! Montezuma speaks terrible Classical Nahuatl and is dressed horrendously. And why do the Maori get the ability to sail the high seas from the start and are discouraged from chopping trees when they were the "Land Polynesians" I'm told and deforested the islands of modern New Zealand? (Answer- they're repping all of Polynesia and the idea of environmentally-conscious indigenous peoples.) Improvement is a gradual process. Aye, not everything is perfect. I'm still salty about how they portrayed Cyrus and Saladin. Sitting Bull is not a bad choice for a leader of the Lakota people, but in the Context of Civ VI and their "Generic Native American" Civ, it just feels lazy. 13 hours ago, Interdimensional Observer said: Thats what Civ VI is for! Where claims of too much Anglosphere aren't exactly unwarranted, between a very British Scotland, Australia, and Canada. Mexico I kinda like being included. I'm not sure exactly what percentage of the population has indigenous ancestry, but due to Spanish colonial views on racial intermixing being different from English views, I would assume that it is significant. That, and I kinda like having an unusual pick. Oh, and I forgot that Brazil is in the game as a Contemporary pick too, gotta include the Lusophone titan of modern South America. I feel that Mexico and the US could've gotten their own separate paths, it's not like we don't know of any super ancient societies in main land USA, same goes for Canada and Mexico. A good amount of Mexicans are of indigenous descent but most don't think it since there isn't nearly as big of a Native conscious in Mexico as there is in the US. Mexico has a history of unifying all the people as Mexicans and nothing more which had the consequence of killing of many indigenous cultures. In urban areas especially, many Mexicans just say they're Spanish or Mexican. Not all of course. The sum of my people, the Maya, are still going strong with their culture and language in the Yucatan. ...Sorry, went on a tangent there 13 hours ago, Interdimensional Observer said: The Civilization franchise's charm rests in part on having big personalities serving as the immortal leaders of each civilization. Humankind doesn't have leaders taken from history, there are AI-generated generic leaders that change clothing as the game progresses. Since the cultures don't need a known face to throw some charisma on, Humankind has the potential to include peoples who wouldn't normally stand a chance in Civilization because we don't know enough about them. And the Olmecs are one example of this. I haven't bought the game yet, I'm waiting for more DLC + gameplay refinements + a sale, but I can appreciate this choice. Olmec were also included to have something in the Americas for the Ancient Era when the game first released. As all the rest are located in the Mediterranean and Fertile Crescent, plus Zhou China, the Harrapans from the Indus River, and now the Bantu for Sub-Saharan Africa. I played the game last night and I finally understand. It's true that with no leader representation, you can included cultures that we have scarce knowledge on, and hey, with the customizable player, you can try and make a leader who looks and acts like a real historical person. 14 hours ago, Interdimensional Observer said: There is one indigenous American-themed game I'm aware of.: https://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/never-alone-kisima-ingitchuna-wii-u/ A Switch port will be released later this month. Short, and the gameplay isn't perfect, but enjoyably atmospheric the reviews say. Ah, Inuit it looks like to me. This is what I'm looking forward to, first people's games that give a more mystical feel and draw from indigenous mythology. 6 hours ago, Saint Rubenio said: I have captured a soaring seagull. I have decided to fall back on one of the back up names for this. I'm liking Nealuchi's performance, but I'll give Menelik a chance to compete and prove himself. He's not bad so far! Nealuchi is a better brawler, but water pistol seems to be more effective on pokes that are weak to water, such as fire and gamer types. The king of Ethiopia, after dying at age 69, he reincarnated as a seagull as hid away in a Pokemon rom file. This is killin' me. 6 hours ago, Saint Rubenio said: I've decided to give it the other name Guardian suggested. Felt it was appropriate, after this thing pounded my entire team to hell and back.
