I fell for the meme. Don't recommend anyone buys this until there's a pricr drop.

Why?

I've played 3 games up to 200 turns and while there are a few new mechanics you'll notice, changes in gameplay here and there I don't think any of it warrants the £50 price tag especially not if you have civ5 with all the DLC. The big thing they were stressing with this game was districts and how they will change the way you build your city but really it's just them taking all the buildings and organising them into sub labels and it's all rather superficial instead of innovative for example take the Zoo building from civ5, you could produce it nornally and it gives you happiness however in 6 you have to build an entertainment district in your city and then you get the option to build a Zoo which fulfils the amenities need since happiness has been removed. Same with military buildings instead of just constructing an armoury you have to build an encampment district and then you create one. I hope that explains what I mean by sub-labeling. Builders now have uses so when you use them to construct 3 times they disappear which is fucking retarded because I've got my cities producing shit that'll take a few turns I have to waste money. Diplomacy is better there's more options in what you can get up to with other civs which is nice. Reaching the next era is confusing this time around it doesn't define the prerequisites so it's hard to know when it'll happen, the in game encyclopedia is vague. I'm on mobile so I cba to write more, this game will replace Civ 5 for me for sure, but I'm not 100% convinced yet why I bought it thinking it would feel new, cool and be £40 well spent it doesn't feel worth that so far I might get there eventually. The first 30 minutes feel way too familar to me though I wanted much more from the next generation Civ especially since it has been 6 years.

I'm still waiting on news for the hardware and what kind of games it can run. £249 for a handheld is a straight no

Are trans people assigned to the 356th cannon fodder division?

No one cares what you think

Why are there so many liberals on this site?

I wouldn't say this site is very liberal, a lot of us here just don't buy into the Trump meme

my friend DeQuan told me a story

Lost it right there lol

This is disappointing because I don't have faith in a handheld system that is also trying to be a home console but I will have to wait until I see more obviously

I dont get the trailer, I personally know it's a home/handheld console but the trailer doesn't really highlight that it makes it look like a large tablet console you can dock

Just get over it

and force Iraqi patriotism in the population.

Special forces come in small numbers and cannot spearhead full frontal assaults on cities.You realize special forces are sent in behind enemy lines, right? Often posing as the enemy. I'm talking above and beyond the special forces that we know about. This isn't the 1800's, they're not going to march into Mosul.

If special forces won't march into Mosul how do they dislodge anywhere between 4-10k ISIS fighters?

Like I said some decent soldiers isn't cutting it.

And ISIS isn't an army, they're terrorists. They don't really have the structure a real military has. Not that it suits Arabs either way.

All jihadi analysts/experts would disagree ISIS is an army they have officers, commanders, governors, emirs, units, battalions etc. Operating like a state with an Army is what made them different to all the other Jihadi groups it's why Al Qaeda kicked them out of the jihadi coalition and declared war. It's why foreigners ran to IS instead of others since they actually tried emulating a caliphate, they governed areas they took control of by giving jihadi's jobs, providing welfare, food rations, funding infrastructure, they even nearly started distributing currency, all they needed next was UN recognition.

I don't get what you're trying to say here.

I never said they're not helping Kurds. I said they're there training Iraqi soldiers too. But my point is Americans are the ones doing the real work.

I disagree with that on the premise of what I said before, special forces alone cannot do all the fighting they can capture leaders, embed with units and call airstrikes but they cannot take part in heavy street to street fighting in a city of over 2 million.

You do understand that the biggest reason the war against ISIS so far has been successful is because the US didnt just send soldiers to rolfstomp into Mosul? Obama's whole strategy has been training and empowering locals so that the US doesn't need to be there forever, you can make blanket statements all you want but US special forces are not doing all the heavy lifting. Search up all the photos of them they're always helping out Kurds in Syria or Iraq never the federal Iraqi government.

Can you be more specific? Cuz the middle east includes this (except the caucuses) so there's too much here for me to actually try and explain.

Democratic elections where he was the only  one running.

A country where only one man can run for president is a dictatorship.

Would you have called all of the great empires from the past, such as England, France, Spain, Russia, and China dictatorships? No. And you wouldn't for Syria. It is far closer to being a monarchy disguised as a democracy.

I refuse to believe you're being serious right now. Fucking lol
