i haven't played Civ V in over a year but it's still my most-played game by far. in fact, it beats disco elysium, my second most-played game, by over 3000 hours. i used to play this game all fucken day on my days off as well as before and after work, for several years.
If you have the city's blessing, you are the
monarch, you have completed a dungeon,
and it is night, you win the game.

"You have achieved victory through the awesome power of
your Culture. Your civilization's greatness – the magnificence
of its monuments and the power of its artists – have
astounded the world! Poets will honor you for as long as
beauty brings gladness to a weary heart."
okay sid meier’s civilization twitter account, you win this one
(IMAGE ID: a screenshot of the Sid Meier’s Civilization Twitter account. It displays six different images of Alexander the Great from six different Civilization games which look drastically different, ranging from lionlike leader to rat-faced little bitch to alpha chin man to blonde guy I guess to that dude that’s on the cover of every paperback romance to discarded Shrek human design. The account has captioned these images “Did you do something with your hair, Alexander?”)
The most important addition to Civ 6 is the inclusion of the system clock on the top right because holy shit I just lost all track of my day on Sunday to Civ 5 and didn't realise it was past midnight when an alarm for my medication rang and it was 9 am the following day.
In my defense it was super gloomy all day because of a storm and I couldnt tell the difference between a dark or light environment due to how my lamp is setup on my desk
I started a game on epic time span with an extra huge earth map from 4PM that sunday and ended around 9:20 am on monday... I have barely started my colony in the americas before the clock rang because Montezuma was being a brat down in West Africa starting proxy wars with the Mongols in the east because the AI is weirdly bloodthirsty on the dude
First time talking about my civ 5 mods on Tumblr or anywhere for that matter but I’m sharing it anyway :p
Decided to delve into my childhood for this one. Thank the stars for all the dedicated fans who maintain the Storm Hawks wiki to help my research out. This one was particularly fun and unfun in many ways. Fun in that I got to pay homage to a part of my childhood. Unfun in that finding music from this show was rather difficult, and I had to settle for some things I would rather not have due to them not really fitting as well as something else would. But as is, I’m proud of the result. Maybe I should learn how to synthesize my own music, huh?
As much as I love Civ 6... I’ve got to admit, I do miss Civ 5′s end game map replay feature. It’s just so fascinating to watch the entire map back over the course of the game and see what happened in lands you couldn’t see back then.
