1* This line from Queen Victoria if you capture England in Civilization VI.
2--> "''This severe and affiliating loss will not be sustained, and England, thank providence, will ascend again.''"
3* From ''VI'': Sean Bean - a.k.a. [[Series/{{Sharpe}} Richard Sharpe]] - surely counts as a [[ShoutOut Shout Out]] with this line:
4--> "''Worry not over the possibility of defeat for your loyal redcoats and overwhelming navy will surely carry the day.''"
5* In the ''VI'' expansion ''Rise and Fall'', Golden Ages have been reworked, such that your achievements in each era decide whether your civ falls into a Dark Age or a GoldenAge. Well, what happens if you jump from a Dark Age straight into a Golden Age? You've not only come back from what was likely your civ's DarkestHour, you've come out of it stronger and more triumphant than ever, entering a Heroic Age that allows you to choose ''three'' of the four available dedications instead of just one. The achievement for scoring one, appropriately enough, quotes UsefulNotes/NapoleonBonaparte with "victory belongs to the most persevering".
6* The quotes you get when you unlock a technology are frequently badass, especially in ''Civ IV'' and ''Civ V'', where they're voiced by Creator/LeonardNimoy and Morgan Sheppard respectively. One from ''V'', however, deserves special mention. Upon researching [[LaserSight Lasers]], and thus unlocking [[InfinityMinusOneSword Modern]] [[TankGoodness Armor]] and [[CoolPlane Jet Fighters]], you're treated to the following:
7-->''"The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light." - [[AsTheGoodBookSays The Holy Bible: Romans 13:12]]''
