Sid Meier's Civilization Yo...CIV. Ok 2 things.. FIRST, Ive been playing civ for years, from civ 3 all the way to now, and civ 6.... Wow omg what are you people doing ?! Its like some people (who should fired) said "hey, how about we take out all the things about the civ 5s realistic design and leader movements.. And for civ 6, we go back to the civ 4 design of cartoons ... cuz Ya know , kids wont play if it looks too real "....civ 6 makes you feel like a kid , in a bad way. AND WE ALL KNOW IM RIGHT. ( if you have civ 5, look at the fish and wales. Now look at the wales in civ 6 ) TRASH!!! Why do i feel like im playing a civ app ? GET THE CIV 5 DESIGN TEAM BACK NOW !! SECOND , you civ people always have the balls to make America a civ. now you have Astralia, but evey game , no Canada! Wtf ?! Do you hate Canada? Like you have all the biggest civs in land mass. Russia, China, brazil , India, the US ... But you cut out Canada. (Tbh i think you do it so the U.S has space to expand in the real earth map ) Lol oh but you need 2 Greeses.. And whatever the fuck scythia is.... JUST ADD CANADA, AND MORE AFRICAN CIVS... AND IF YOU ARE GOING TO DO 2 LEADERS PER CIV, HAVE ONE THAT WAS MORE EVIL, AND ONE THAT WAS MORE GOOD. THAT WOULD ADD TO THE GAME. But other than all that ^ the new things in the civ 6 game play is better than civ 5. just make civ 6 look like civ 5, You dont need a buch of movement and colour to keep my attention , im not 10 years old....

Literally what I did. I conquered a city-state under Russian suzerainty and renamed it “Alexandria” as my first conquered city, then me and Japan partitioned Russia, I renamed its capital from Saint Petersburg to Alexandria Rosia (Russia in Greek), then I got in a war with Japan to conquer Vilnius, I conquered it but it revolted and joined Japan instead so I just renamed one of the conquered Japanese cities beside Vilnius as “Alexandria Vilnius” to temporarily justify it as being the legitimate Vilnius. I then got in a second war with Japan and conquered all its cities, and renamed its capital from Kyoto to “Alexandria Iaponia” (Greek name for Japan), the rest is history with Malaysia (was using a mod, Alexandria Malaisia. Also their first city I conquered was on another landmass so I renamed it “Alexandria in Novopangaea”) and Kongo (Alexandria Konko) *sigh* I wish I could’ve finished that game properly, it was kinda funny and fun reenacting Alexander’s big ego throughout the world 😂

Well... Greece calls itself Hellas. What were known as the Grecians were essentially the people of Macedon, Athens, the islands etc. The Cretans were as different to the Athenians (what we like to call the Greek people in Civ games apparently), as the Macedonians to the Athenians, so yes, technically they are different people, yet they are all a part of what is now called Greece (even though it should be called Hellas in english, but okay).

Can't fathom why the developers split Alexander into Macedon but didn't make Frederick Barbarossa the leader of the Holy Roman Empire instead of the German Empire. P.S. I know Alexander the Great ruled Macedon and expanded his empire but that doesn't excuse the historical inaccuracy given to Germany.

I think it might be because Macedonia is a region as opposed to Athens and Sparta being essentially cities with influence over their neighbours.

Basileus Rhomaion Though they spoke greek, their art is similar to that of the greeks, Byzantium (the city) was founded by greeks, etc. They kept themselves as a separate entity to the Western Roman Empire even before the fall of the latter, and much later agter that. They might have considered themselves as romans, but their culture is more hellenic than roman.

@rhomaioscomrade

7 жыл бұрын

For starters, "Byzantium" isn't even a thing other than the ancient city that came to be Constantinople. The state was called Basileia Rhomaion (Imperium Romanorum) and people of the time (except the West) knew them as Romans/Rum/Romioi/Rumi etc. They did speak Greek, but the eastern part had spoken Greek before the Romans even conquered it. Latin was never used as a lingua franca of the Roman empire because most people in the populous regions would speak Koine Greek. The Eastern Roman part didn't view itself as separate from the West, the split happened for administrative reasons and this is why after the fall of the Western part, Justinian tried to restore former territories, including Rome. Their culture was much closer to ancient Rome than you think, but changes always happen. What did you expect, the Byzantines lasted almost 1000 years, any state would change in that time span. As for my previous comment, the Byzatines are "hellenized" of sorts, but not Hellenistic. Hellenistic is a very specific historiographical term for several centuries after Alexander's death.

@guilherme77088

7 жыл бұрын

Might I also add that for most of the Empire's history Latin was the Administrative and Court Language and thus meant that the High classes of the Empire would commonly speak and write in Latin, infact even the Patriarch of Constantinople spoke Latin. Also "Byzantine Empire" "Byzantines"etc.. are historigraphical terms applied to the empire after it was coined a century after it's fall by German historian Hieronymus Wolf. The Empire by it's citizens and likely anyone not Catholic, as could be discerned from the Establishment of the Sultanate of "Rûm"(Sultanate of Rome)' and the adoption of "Kayser i-Rum"(Caesar of Rome) by Ottoman Sultans, as The Roman Empire and not anything besides that

No, the court/administrative language of the Byzantine Empire was Koine Greek from Heraclius' reign (610 - 641, I think) right up until 1453. The liturgical language was also Koine Greek, although I don't know if it always was.

Ancient Greeks used to put coins in the eyes of dead bodies before they bury them, so that the dead person can.use these coins to pay the ferry man (Charon) and cross the underworld, medieval amd modern Greeks, still use this tradition, they put coins in dead bodies, so that they can "pay saint Peter, to open heavens gates" Ancient Greeks used to bake special pies, called "placinta cakes" Medieval Greeks took that recipe and created different versions which Greeks still eat to this day "tiropita" (cheesepie), "spanakopita" (spinachpie) e.t.c As you see the traditions and culture didn't change drastically during the Byzantine period, of course there was a huge impact from the neighbouring Persians and Arabs but in general, it remained the same..... for poetry, since the language was evolving, the same goes for poetry, different type of poems were written, but still everything was in medieval Greek... The musical instruments were also evolving during the pass of time, although some survive almost intact to our days, the ancient greek lyre for example, evolved into the byzantine lyre, who is the father of the modern Cretan lyre called "lura".....

Okay... Now we have de-facto a lot of Greek's civs - Ordinar Greece and Alexander's Empire. Does it mean that in future we will take Napoleon's France, Habsburg's Austria, Hitler's Germany, Stalin's USSR, Putin's Russia as independent playable civs?:) #WeWaitOttomans

Well it is ancient Macedonia, and the Kingdom of Macedonia and the Macedonian region are two distinct and separate areas. Like Ireland and North Ireland. I suspect once things simmer down a little everything will be fine, the dislike ration is 10-1 ATM and thats with the "shock".

Alexander's Macedon was located in current day North-Eastern Greece. The current day country of Macedonia was a region of his empire, later part of the Roman/Byzantine theme of Macedon, later a region of the Bulgarian Empire and after Great Britain and France decided that they hate the Balkans was turned into it's own country for... some reason.

Sid Meier's supports Greek Macedonian heritage since the beggining, because they have to know history in order to create nice historical games.

Why dislikes from greeks? Ancient Macedonia was greek. Or do you assume that Alexander didn't spread the greek language and culture? Also, helenistic fusion and hypaspists are certainly not slavic. So, I welcome Alexander king of Macedon and ruler of Greeks.

he is, the kingdom of Macedonia was an ancient Greek province, just as Athens and Sparta were, Alexander spoke Greek, he unified the Greeks, and spread the Greek language and Greek culture across his empire (Hellenization) he even participated in the Olympic games which was an exclusively Greek event, the modern day "north macedonia" is a Slavic nation, they use the Cyrillic alphabet and speak a Slavic language, the Slavs migrated to the Balkans during the middle ages, over 900 years after Alexander's death. North Macedonia was literally founded in 1991 after the fall of Yugoslavia

Could it be that with the Persians and Macedonians added, we'll be having a remake of Civ 4's Greek World scenario? I'd love that!

I find it ironic that war weariness is what stopped Alexander's conquests in the first place (and possibly lead to his supposed assassination), yet a reduction to war weariness is his passive.

@Bryce Plummer I see what you're saying. Although, historically Macedonia is greek, in this game it acts like a seperate entity and civ. Its also important to point out that up until civ6 Alexander the Great was the leader of Greece and I believe it should have stayed that way in effort to not confuse the fake slavic Macedonia of today(fyrom) and the ancient Greek kingdom.

@Bryce Plummer You might have interpreted it wrong or I just used the wrong word but I didnt mean it in a racist way. However, my point still stands that the modern northern "Macedonia" somewhat lays on Macedonia ground but it doesn't change the fact that they aren't the true ancestors of Alexander the Great and his empire.

The fact that Alexander ended his conquest because of war weariness makes the irony almost perfect

It should be interesting to see how much more effective you can be at a domination victory considering the behavior of the current AI.

This is so Amazing!!! I knew it was coming but was so excited to watch the Video for the first time!!!! Alexander the Great, is a fantastic Historic leader, and I love the art work!!!! Am I the only one that enjoyed watching Alexander move around in the video!!!!!?

alexander is so fun. the first game i played with my friend after we both bought the game i was alexander on a real-life map and i spawned in india, so i basically did a reverse alexander and conquered in the opposite direction. except i didnt stop in macedonia, i went all the way through to western europe then crossed the atlantic and took north america too. they must have added it after this video was filmed but at world's end also healing all your units when you capture a city is bananas, turns your armies into a steamroller. i had like 2000 years of war and no war weariness, meanwhile all the while the basilikos kept me ahead on science and thats actually how i ended up winning.

People of civilization 6 team, I am happy that I see again my country in the game, I though after Gorgo and Pericles I wouldn't see Alexander the Great. But I was wrong, and I am happy that I was wrong in this part. Just one thing. For the love of ... God! Change the Macedonia to Greece before some FYROM guy will come and say unhistoric thnigs and other fool things. I am also happy that I see in the comments that players of Civilization know what is correct. For all these years we played Alexander the Great as leader of Greece. Just change the title. Thank you.
