Sid Meier's Civilization Series (Main Titles)

I tend to consider that Crosses the Line Twice humor is very hard to properly pull, especially whenever race, gender or sexuality are concerned, and that whenever it goes "global" a vast majority of its users will ditch the second line crossing and only keep it offensive.

I doubt Turkish - and, even moreso, muslim - people call themselves "kebab" as a symbol of national pride. If only because in several Western European countries kebabs are seen by the far right as a symbol of invasion by muslims.

Pinochet is a Nation-State, not a civ. And apparently Solano Lopez wasn't much better than him.

For what it's worth, the Paradox Interactive forums have banned the use of the word "kebab" to describe people, as well as all other uses of food in place of ethnic slurs.

Race-related Black Comedy is hard to do, yeah, unless of course you happen to be IN the group being insulted.

I recently started playing with fan-made civs in Civ 5 (still unable to play the sixth one), and just set up an amusing scenario: I installed a Russian map and populated it with nothing but various Russian leaders. I'm currently playing as Catherine versus Ivan the Terrible, Peter the Great, Alexander I, Nicholas II, Vladimir Lenin, Josef Stalin, Leonid Brezhnev, Vladimir Putin, plus non-Russian but geographically appropriate Kuchum Khan and Tygyn Darkhan.

This set-up has resulted in a lot of messages like "Russia has denounced Russia" and "Soviet Union has made a Declaration of Friendship with The Soviet Union".

Kind of weird to have Canada as a civ when Toronto is a city-state.

In that case they just change the name of the city-state. Carthage might make it eventually to the roster, and it's currently a CS.

In Civilization V when you played with a Modded Civ like Australia or someone else that had a City-State they would change the name of the City-State.

What BS is this, Aussies get their Civ but Canada doesn't? Fffff :-P

Well, Canada doesn't get a Civ because they aren't a real country anyway.

Big Words from Russia's newest Vassal State

You have been denounced by the American Empire!

You can't denounce a city state! You'd have to make us a civ first!

Catch-22

Australia before Persia, Mongols, or anything from Indigenous North America? Meh.

There's these guys who made awesome Civ V videos. They've finally moved to Civ IV

Scout's Honor

Annnddd.... the patch and Australia DLC are out.

~Ghilz: You can use the Youtube mark-up for more than one video now, for the record.

Yeah,but then your embedding two huge videos

So what? As it is, I actually missed the "Scout's Honor" video completely when I first saw the post, because it was a tiny link that was overshadowed by the much bigger and more attention-grabbing video embed above it.

What we really need is a way to make the video's thumbnail smaller

If you've not seen the Civ V ones, there's quite a few. The best ones are those mocking the world congress (As well as the struggle of the two world religions: Denouncing Venice and Boat Mormonism).

Science Victory

Dibs on the Ruins

We Love the King Day

The World Congress

Doing Something About Ghandi

The Great War
