And holy fuck the technology and civic quotes are insufferable. It's either some smarmy lib saying something Marvel movie-esque or it's some fucking genocider war criminal saying something that might be considered profound in 3rd grade.

Or the worse of both worlds is when they have a fucking war criminal being smarmy. It also seems like Churchill is in like half of them, the fucker had a lot to say apparentely, wish he took a long walk off a short pier and talked to the fish more.

Can't believe they wasted Sean Bean on this :sadness: Anyway, play Civ 4, it's good and has quotes from better people.

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.
