* During the intro cinematic of ''Civ VI'', we are treated to the story of a pair of seemingly immortal father and daughter. For most of the cinematic, we get to see the father as he joins various war campaigns throughout the ages, eventually meeting his end during a air battle during World War 2. The way the windows in his cockpit shatter and the camera pan down to a picture of his daughter is a heartbreaking sight to see. Doesn't get any less heart-wrenching in the intro for the Rise and Fall DLC, with the Father eventually succumbing to the Black Death all while poignantly talking about how just one disaster can unravel a great people. Although, like the base game it swiftly rebounds into heartwarming.

The "Nuclear Gandhi" 1-to-255 rumours have been debunked by Sid Meier himself
Deleted line(s) 4 (click to see context) :
* The infamous "Nuclear Gandhi" bug, [[UrbanLegendOfZelda if it's actually true]], could be a case of Tragic Monster bordering on Fridge Horror. To wit, it is caused by him adopting the Democracy government, which reduces his aggression score of 1 by 2, but instead of yielding a negative number, it cycles around to 255... out of 10. Other government forms have most of the control vested in the leader, but Democracy gives individuals a chance to influence their government. Gandhi, the pacifist, must watch as an extremist faction pulls his nation away from its principles while he can do nothing as he is beholden to public opinion.

* ''Gathering Storm'' adds flooding mechanics to ''Civ VI''. As civilizations add pollution in the air, the ice caps will start melting and sea levels will rise; tiles that are too low are slowly submerged in water. While it is possible to build flood barriers to prevent this, and semi-flooded tiles surrounded by a barrier can be repaired, it is always disheartening if you simply don't get the barrier done in time before the tile is swallowed up whole (at which point it cannot be recovered). Even Wonders and/or Districts and all the Great Works held within could be lost forever this way. (That said, settlers and cities will always see which tiles would be at risk of flooding, so good city planning can lessen the tragedy somewhat).
* Meta-wise, we have the story of the Eternal War also covered on the Awesome page. A player called Lycerius wrote about how he had continued his ''Civ II'' game for ten years as an experiment, the result being a CrapsackWorld of massive proportions--but he was determined to bring it all to an end. After sharing the save file with other players, some succeeded. Then, one year after the original post, [[http://www.reddit.com/r/theeternalwar/comments/1g6jcd/update_to_the_eternal_war_11_year_old_civ_ii_game/ came an update from Lycerius himself]] which served as a huge WhamEpisode. This comment by Mikuro sums it all up:
--> Look over the past year and reflect on yourself, Lycerius.
--> One year ago, you wanted peace and happiness for your people. You said:
--> My goal for the next few years is to try and end the war and thus use the engineers to clear swamps and fallout so that farming may resume. I want to rebuild the world. But I'm not sure how.
--> And now?
-->[[spoiler: what need would there be for my glorious Celtic Communist state to exist in a world at peace? How would I justify to the masses the need for brutal dictatorship and big brother’s watchful eye if there is no longer an external threat to protect them from? I couldn't. And so the external threat must be maintained of course.]]
--> What ''happened'' to you, Lycerius? ''We trusted you!''
