  • amid the many complaints at release was the poor quality of the voiced quotes, not only for techs and civics, but for wonders. The one you get when you discover Mt Kilimanjaro is about how you can’t get wifi there, awful! I think that one was one of the top google responses when you searched for “Kilimanjaro quotes”, that and a few others were just kind of pulled haphazardly.

    all the DLC’s had better quotes, for what it’s worth. Also people have made “better quotes” mods, which can be found on the steam workshop.



  • Much has been said about how Comic Books are reactionary; the only ones who try to change the state of the world are naturally villains and the status quo is defended by the protagonists. I do, however, think that a world that has been fixed by do-gooders and as a result has less strife is a less interesting setting dramatically. Could you make a movie about Mr Fantastic curing cancer or doing geoengineering to mitigate Global Warming? On the other hand, if this current cultural moment is giving us horror movies and dramas via the inventory of comic book characters, maybe we’re going to get a weird biopic, something in the vein of 127 hours, The Aviator, or A Beautiful Mind, but with comic book characters. A kind of “man against society” conflict story where a guy in spandex under a lab coat struggles to make the world a better place while reminiscing about his strained marriage and protean relationship with Dr Doom as they repeatedly come into conflict, each both trying to force the world to meet their conflicting ideals.

    John Krasinski is Mr Fantastic as directed by Terrence Malick.
