Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: Civilization (Video Games), Civ 5 - Fandom Rating: General Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Characters: Pacal (Civilization), gustavus adolphus (civilization) Additional Tags: Video Game Mechanics, Conversations, culture victory, Referenced violence, Implied/Referenced Character Death Summary:

Gustavus Adolpus meets with Pacal the Terrible, to accept his defeat at the hands of the Maya. Pacal has other plans.

Basically how I think the conversation between the last two leaders of my last game went, after I won a bloody victory, but not technically by conquest...

Written all in one sitting, no beta, we die like Venice.

Just a fun one shot I typed up after winning a civ five game. Thought it would be fun to share!

bro america wanted to become my puppet in exchange for a technology and I accepted. This is the outcome. When a country becomes a puppet, the master also declares war on the countries at war with the puppet. I'm fucking cooked. I was fighting this for the previous 70 turns and I am unable to make any sort of progress, slowly getting outproduced in every aspect. I love civ 5

little viewer check in, prezoh is a funny one because that guy is basically a cryptid to me. i hear stories about him from a bunch of different ccs but i have never actually seen any content from him.

also antoine is back! i wish they'd do some gaming together

Prezoh has been a frequent flyer for the tubathon. I feel like he’s always checking in for small batches of time lmao. I also haven’t seen any content from him aside from the streamer awards video and the beginning of the clip where he got banned 😭

Antoine!!! They need to play tricky towers stat.

someone liked one of my TOH headcanon posts from earlier this year and it reminded me about the specific headcanons i have for exactly what types of games the hexsquad plays and how they play them.

luz is obv an RPG fantasy fan. anything with a juicy story and a character creator and complex lore she’ll love. she definitely plays series like elder scrolls and baldur’s gate and final fantasy. she also plays final fantasy 14 and has her character as the good witch luzura and she isnt good at playing it like an mmo is supposed to be played but she loves the story. when endwalker came out luz couldnt stop sobbing to the point that camila was actually worried about her. also enjoys roguelikes such as hades or binding of isaac even if she can only play for so long before getting too frustrated. she also 100% plays genshin impact and gets into arguments online with other genshin fans.

amity is a fighting game girl. she is highly competitive and practices combos with her eyes shut. she prefers the tekken series but when luz wants to play with her they play guilty gear bcus luz likes it’s art style the most. she also likes fantasy RPGs but is way more picky about which ones she plays. she likes fire emblem. she also plays ff14 with luz and is actually good at the game (she carries luz sometimes) but isnt a huge fan of MMOs. she also is the one in the friend group with the NASA ass PC rig with a custom case and the most organized wiring you’ve ever seen with the lcd screen on the liquid cooled cpu and the azura figurine inside the case. she also does custom wraps for all her consoles.

hunter likes games that are very much like, micromanagement sims. like civ5 or cities skylines or factorio (i dont know anything about it but ive been assured by my sister that hunter plays modded factorio) but he’s also a fan of like, old school FPS games like doom and half life. i can see him doing speedruns of those games. (also he 100% once got addicted to some game like fuckin. galactic pinball or something to the point where he was staying up all night and not sleeping so he could play more pinball. in order to get him to stop playing so much and actually get some sleep, gus used illusions to make hunter think he was hallucinating about pinball and scared him into not looking at a single screen or monitor for like three weeks.)

gus is a very chill gamer but he likes games that he can sink hours and hours into. instead of playing a wide variety of games he has a select few that he dedicates his time into learning every last mechanic, but there’s also some games he just plays casually. like with pokemon games he’ll put hundreds of hours into them and carefully curate his team and does like nuzlocke runs but when he plays on his and willow’s shared-custody new horizons island he’ll just walk around and catch bugs and shit and not really worry about upgrading his house and make matching fits with his favorite villager.

willow prefers cozy games, like slime rancher or stardew valley or the aforementioned shared new horizons island, but she’s also a fucking menace about them. like she goes HARD on the min-maxing and automation and shit. while gus is wandering around their island catching fish, willow’s busy rearranging her fully upgraded mansion up in the hills and harassing any villagers she doesnt like with nets and deciding what hybrids to plant in front of her bell trees (she only has bell trees for the aesthetic. gus isnt allowed to harvest them) she would also be running the most high profit slime ranch ever but the way she treats her slimes makes hunter upset whenever he sees her just fuckin throwing them off a cliff the second they arent useful to her anymore. (meanwhile hunter names each one of his slimes and always feeds them their favorite foods and cried over casey & beatrix)

vee enjoys survival/strategic horror games, like DBD, resident evil, deadspace, or even FNAF. she’s the type of person to see the goriest most violent death in a video game ever and just go “ew yucky” then carry on. masha and her are often playing DBD together while in a call and are the most annoying pair of suvivors ever. she also likes games such as original katamari and pikmin 1 and chulip. she's also the undefeated DDR champion of the friend group.

and of COURSE they all play video games together. they all have a terraria world they play on together where they all are focused on their own little projects while still working together and are slowly building up their own village/mansion/castle/fort but luz keeps rushing ahead of everyone just bcus she's so excited and she definitely somehow ends up summoning the wall of flesh accidentally

they DID have a modded minecraft world for a few months with both tech mods and magic mods but while hunter, amity, and vee all focused on their factories and computers and technology, gus, willow, and luz fucked around with all the crazy magic and accidentally found out by blowing up a factory. this is where heightened tension between the the warlocks & the scientists began. this spark eventually turned into a full fledged war that lasted two months before it ended in mutually assured destruction to the point where no one could actually load into the server without their game crashing.

bonus: camila isnt much of a gamer with one exception-- when she was in college manny introduced her to WoW and got her hooked. it was Their Game that they played together all the time. they made cosplays of their characters together. they had several dates in game. they optimized their characters to perfect compliment one another when they ran dungeons with their guild. even since manny passed camila still plays every so often and keeps in touch with their guild members. for the longest time luz has 0 idea that camila plays WoW at all and only finds out after the whole secret nerd confession.

Im going on a 9 hr car ride give me songs/albums to listen to while i decimate civ5's AI in the passenger seat

[modeus-the-misanthrope]

Smitten's sole mistake in HEA's chapter was the board game approach. Should have given her some Civ5. Even now, months later, she would be telling him "one more turn"...

[cirolik]

I need to do something other than civ5 all day

[hydralisk98]

Slowly going towards one TS2 Legacy... Maybe

I mean, I have iterated on such for my conworld for a while but I am definitely having a hard time choosing how to go about it considering I tend to play with many mods, ideally with a couple of my very own coming soon, and prefer having ultimate source code ownership / customization available to me (unlike doing anything with SC4 & TS2/3/4).

It is still 16^12 related, and though I don't enjoy the current source code status of my "modding game workflow" as far as my Civ5 CE Maskoch modpack -> FreeCiv+SimCity4+TheSims2 is concerned, I do like the overall system I have starting putting in place to help manifest my DR goals IRL;

So yeah, here are some of the preparation memopads...

Prior to 1910 (up to two generations behind "ancestors") : May Tiffy, Jana Petri, Kira Fleche, Hugues Tortue; Kala Petit-Ours & Alphonse Grand-Ours;

LEGACY starting context (& overall their goals per "generation")

Continuing on to my fics on Soft Hiatus, please inform me which of these you would want to read!

Shu and Nazuna are married, but Nazuna’s in the navy and must go off to war! Oh no! Shu also has a new apprentice named Mika… fantasy steampunk AU.

IMMORTAL NATIONS

I turn my Civ5 game into a political drama mostly about Ryuseitai. NO REGRETS! (Some. Some regrets.)

MISMATCHED STARS

ELECTRIC TOUCH

Shu is a living doll. Mika’s a ghost. Nazuna has rabbit ears and a tail. Things go a bit sideways.

Soulmate AU with lots of Nazuna angst.

big sad that I can't seem to functionally play Civ3 on my new computer. yes I know it's the world's oldest game but I bought it on Steam and it's supposed to be functional and it makes me feel calm to play it in a way the newer versions of the game don't

the game actually plays fine but when I go to play it, the Windows 11 taskbar refuses to hide and disappear and cuts off some pretty vital shit at the bottom and I have spent hours trying to find a fix only for none of them to work :(

it's lame man I've been playing this game for... *checks* 22 years now and it just finally went kaput

Civ4 and Civ5 I never got into. I played 1-3 and Colonization

[coffeeworldsasaki]

Okay what I like: the emphasis on the companions because that's my favorite part of all rpgs, plus some of them looks cool as fuck. Also did I say that I want to kiss Harding because that's been on my mind for 10 years

What I don't like: WHY IS VARRIC STILL HERE STOP OH MY GOD and also the style, it looks like civ5 and I've always disliked it. But if it was easier on the devs I'll shut up about it, dai looked stunning but I don't want to think about devs crying at work when playing so whatever. Also my favorite character of tevinters' nights is not a companion 😔

[deirdreskye]

680 hours in Civ5 and 27 achievements

Almost all of that is with the vox Populi mod 🖕🖕🖕

[phatcatphergus]

saw in your tags that "antoine might like civ5 too"

if i remember correctly him and tubbo have talked about civ before, on the same stream as tricky towers even i think?

so you're right that would be a banger game for the two of them to play

Oh fr?? I was in and out of that stream so if they spoke about it I totally missed that, I said that based purely on vibes lmaooo

They just both seem like such thinkers and strategy buffs so I would imagine something like civ or risk would be games they would both really enjoy playing together.
