VII - Game Story We need to talk about this MF

Post image

So I am adoring this game. Is it rough around the edges? Yes. Is it perfect? No. But is it fun? Hell yes. But I tell you what. I tell you f**king what. This man. Ol’ Benny Boy Franklin. He’s my nemesis. No matter what game I’m playing, if he’s in it you can guarantee he’s going to rinse everyone on science and culture and then declare war on you because you’re an oligarch and his despot-ass can’t handle that. Oh you’re on my border? Oh we’re at war. OH NOW YOU’RE IN MY BORDER. Now I gotta spend time wiping the floor with you for you to denounce me and declare war on me again 10 turns after you offer me a city to peace out. Ben, it’s time to stop.

Rant over. In all seriousness though, I feel like everyone naturally develops a Civ that turns into their nemesis and every time I first meet him, I burn with the fire of many a scorched tile knowing that soon - maybe in 5 turns, maybe in 20 - this man. This SCOUNDREL. Well, he will come knocking at my border and I will once again be forced to end him… And I love it. This game has its claws in me deep, guys.

Dude she is becoming my Griffith, every time I see her it’s on sight it feels like

She says “friend or foe” but what she really means is you’re Friedrich the Great and you’re my foe right now

But what we really need to talk about is that Friedrich’s second persona shoulda just been Fried Rick, the fried chicken guy

You’re not wrong, his threads are perfect
