I would not object to either of them. I'd actually be very excited if Civ VI had it's next expansion just be alternate leaders for like $30.

Getting Napoleon back in France as an option would be great too

Why?

In fact, give me your reads on all 44 presidents to date with sufficient reasoning for each read. Otherwise I'd be willing to hammer you. :P

@VenmarL Take your time. As long as I have an universal Strongman Vig shot on D1 that's OK. Everybody dies and I'm the only one standing, and whatever my alignment is we get to win (I'm not selfish, so carrying my Town/Scum team isn't an issue for me). :lol:

very realistic. turns take forever anyhow.
Of all tyrannies,a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

WUT?!? Nero was top tier roman leader. It's a shame he hasn't been in civ yet.

Actually, I'd agree on you. Trajan seemed like such a strange choice for Civ VI, especially.

Personally, though, the best civ to be denounced by in Civ VI is Australia. Because John Curtin throwing his hat is just great.

Venmar has broken a promise to you by not getting out roles by late afternoon.


I may be bored doing discovery demands at work, and really want to start this game or go home and play Civ VI... Maybe.

Nero's ability - Fiddles on Roof. Your pillaged squares still give half production.

Pillage tiles still give full yields; pillaged tiles incur a -1 loyalty per turn penalty because disgruntled Romans

HAHA!

I kinda skimmed his wiki page yesterday. And it was saying that some modern historians question the reliability of the negative sources on Nero. And it was also saying that Nero was popular among the commoners.

Modern politicians don't have anything on the politicians of the Ancient Age. They would do anything to discredit an opponent, and when they could not discredit, they murdered.

Nero also couldn't have fiddled, so far as I'm aware, as I don't believe fiddles had been invented.

Violins weren't invented until the 1600's; while the old adage is that Nero fiddled while Rome burned, it was most certainly a lyre.
