Is Anyone As Extremely Pissed Off As I Am That The Icas Were Screwed Over By Firaxis?

How could they not let alone include the Incas, but not even ONE AMERICAN CIV!!! Are they freakin idiots!?!?! Not to mention Africa and SOutheast Asia!!!

ixnay · August 9, 2002, 15:18

There's always a chance for a 2nd expansion. Personally, I'm happy with the included civs.

Robert Plomp · August 9, 2002, 16:00

Sure sure sure sure.
something to get really pissed about!
How dare they!

ok, now we're done with that, anything else we can talk about ?

XarXo · August 9, 2002, 16:03

Me too

Maccabee2 · August 9, 2002, 16:26

I would like to have seen the Incas, or the Hebrews, or the Olmec even (although we know so little about them save that they may have been a colony of Shang Dynasty refugees.)
Other candidates would have been the Phoenecians, Hittites, the Meroe Empire of Africa(briefly ruled Egypt, later wiped out by same), Axumite of Africa, the Minoans, the Scythians, the Sabaeans, or even the Philistines (could have a giant as its special unit....way cool!)

I would take you a little more seriously if you could spell what you are supposed to be so pissed off about.

GoodFella · August 9, 2002, 21:25

I noticed the misspelling, and tried to edit it, but apparently it doesn't show up on the board.

asleepathewheel · August 9, 2002, 21:56

no

I don't care if the incas are in first expansion

if there is another expansion of reality civs without them, then perhaps i would be upset (an overstatment at that), but for now, no.

Inverse Icarus · August 9, 2002, 22:20

i would have liked the incas simply for geogrpahical position on the world map.

Is this the Inca official language, hmm, a dialect maybe

ACooper · August 10, 2002, 00:48

Oh, get over it. With all that's going on in the world you worry about this? It's just a game.

rob.derosa · August 10, 2002, 06:45

No

statusperfect · August 10, 2002, 08:57

Calm down. They didn't forget africa... Carthage is in

Spiffor · August 10, 2002, 11:30

I'm not pissed at all
When you have to pick 8 Civs, you have to make a choice. To me, Incas are less of a priority than Turks, Arabs, Spanish or Koreans.
I hope they'll include Incas in the next expansion, even if it's at the expanse of Poles or Hebrews.

FrantzX · August 10, 2002, 12:18

No.

Caliban · August 10, 2002, 12:52

No.

And, btw, the Aztecs ARE AN AMERICAN CIV!

Oh, and so are the Iroquois...

FrustratedPoet · August 10, 2002, 13:21

I thought it was the Spanish who "screwed over" the Incas?

Blaming it on Firaxis? Now THAT really is a historical disgrace!

Hagbart · August 10, 2002, 14:48

The Incas would have been cool, but I would choose the ones in PTW over them.

statusperfect · August 10, 2002, 15:10

Hagbart> The only Civ in PTW. Which isn't worthy is the Vikings.

Q Classic · August 10, 2002, 15:18

no, not really.

Andrew_Jay · August 10, 2002, 17:37

Wow, a strong statement against the Vikings . . . from a Swede non-the-less. Perhaps you are right Status, I always found with the Vikings that they seemed to spring up a little after the end of the Roman Empire, and then just vanished after the 1100's.

And anyway, no, despite the loss of the Incans in PtW my whole reality and value system has not come crashing down around me. I doubt not being able to use the Incans (seriously, are they THAT much different than the Aztecs in the big scheme of things) will suddenly reveal life as futile and useless.

"Alas, for the burning of my soul;
Alas for yon sweet Incas;
Doth are no more;
The cruel tides of the Firaxis have cast thee asunder"

Adagio · August 10, 2002, 17:57

There's at least two Civs in PtW, that shouldn't even be in the expansion pack, while Inca (or Maya) defently should be in...

Trevman · August 11, 2002, 16:06

I'm sure you can add whatever civ you want in the editor.

Jon Shafer · August 11, 2002, 18:20

Exactly.

The only thing that matters is that Firaxis didn't come up with some ugly leaderhead for people to complain about, and an ahistorical UU... right?

HAND · August 13, 2002, 21:42

Yes the Incas should be in....
If you're playing the World map, you have Iroquois and Americans in North America, Aztecs in Central America and its only makes sense to have the Incas in South America!

(or maybe Nazcans? The Incas conquered them though!) I hate seeing continents not being used

JtheJackal · August 14, 2002, 00:02

I really doubt they were looking at the world map when decideing what civilizations would be in the game.

Oerdin · August 14, 2002, 00:37

I will use the editor to fix this injustice. Soon the Arabs will be nothing but an unpleasent memmory...

So where is the civ for Antartica?

Get over it, its only a game. Any way, there in Colonization if you really want to see them
