Looks like no Queen Vic I've ever seen.

ALSO BRITAIN! NOT ENGLAND. Elizabeth was Queen of England, Victoria was Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. She was born after 1801 when the Kingdom of Great Britain absorbed Ireland. In fact we've not had a King/Queen of England since 1707 when England and Scotland ceased being two independent kingdoms.

Bit of a history gripe there.

Haha, my bad. My area of historical expertise is the American revolution, so I'm a bit rusty on the UK/Britain's finer points. I was largely operating off of what Firaxis said in their trailer.

Yeah, they've got it wrong as well. Mind you Civ V even had it's history a bit muddled up as well when you had the ancient civilisations such as Rome, Carthage, Greece and the Celts in alongside Tudor England, a united German confederation and Napoleonic France.

I don't think it's wrong so much as there would be no point to have the later leaders/civs in the game if all you care about is historical accuracy. Actually, when you think about it, a lot of civ concepts don't make sense realistically.

It's just a game inspired by history, If you want closer to the real thing, there's a mod for that. I think it's called Rhyes of Civilization and is bundled with Civ4.. not sure about 5.

I see they've kept the one unit per tile gameplay. (groan) I hope this doesn't apply to worker/settler units anymore. Micromanaging their path so moves aren't wasted is irritating, especially on larger maps.
