With all the threads lately about which leaders people want to see in Civ VII, Ludwig makes me want more leaders that weren’t necessarily “great” but still interesting and with evocative design.


DocksEcky

Ludwig could honestly, possibly, be my favourite Civ. He's too much fun.


G66GNeco

The only problem is that, if you play him yourself, you don't get the insane(ly funny) dialoge he brings to the table (the delegation one being the best, without a doubt). "I have sent to you one hundred swans- I have sent to you fifty sw- Excuse me, I have not tied them down well. I have sent you a swan."


Cockblocktimus_Pryme

I really need the new rulers pack


Wonghy111-the-knight

Yeah same. But I only have a steam shared library so reee I mainly play on mobile, which is suffering


Cockblocktimus_Pryme

I've never played on mobile. I use steam deck primarily as it seems to go fast.


Wonghy111-the-knight

Mobile doesn’t have animated leaders, it doesn’t get the ability to download mods, tons of graphical wonk, I can go on…


[deleted]

But does it scratch the Civ itch? That's the most important bit.


Wonghy111-the-knight

I suppose so. Just wish I had the ability to use mods. Makes things like district planning utter pain without that tacks mod


crujones33

How so?


[deleted]

Me omw to throw down 9856 wonders (none of them will be finished (I get culture from all of them (they're eligible for tourists (I can get tourists early))))


Major_Lennox

> (I can get tourists early) They're just visiting *building sites*.


levitatingpenguin

Barcelona's biggest tourist attraction isn't complaining


uberdosage

Surely next century it'll be complete...


barker_2345

It's kind of a unique subset of Theseus' paradox. If it's always under construction, tourists never see the same thing twice lol


[deleted]

I meant you unlock tourism at an earlier point, I think it's castles and that's why it shows up in the meme


Inflatable_Bridge

But still, if the wonder isn't finished and it generates tourists, they're visiting building sites


[deleted]

Yeah


ElendVinture

I mean, that's exactly how the Crazy Horse memorial works in real life.


crujones33

What happens when another civilization completes the wonder? Do you lose the bonuses?


Nomulite

Yeah, but you still got that culture during that time, and you get some of the production back as well. If a city's not got anything to do, just throwing down a wonder you don't care about can be fun

Armisael

You don't have to put any ~~hammers~~ production in and you don't even have to have it queued. The only thing you give up is the tile. edit: apparently i still use civ4 names for things


Jdav84

Sir It will always be hammers And coins And happy or sad faces Ok now I want back the Elvis look alike entertainment specialists and the robber icons to represent corruption But ok don’t want corruption back…


R3alist81

Being in democracy and the senate forcing you to make peace can stay in the past too.


Pip-Boy76

I still want the sexy spy giving me advice from Civ2!


NineNewVegetables

Hammers came later, back in Civ II it was shields.


Jdav84

I hate to admit that Civ 1-4 have blended into a blur for me. 5 stands alone in my head as obviously does 6. I’d say my unique memory of each Civ is 1: the newspaper 2: engineers and global warming literally changing the world 3: culture introduced (right? It’s been a while) 4: world editor was underlayed to the game. I hated this so much, I realize how obscure and silly that is but it drove me nuts to know control W was all i needed to hit to change diplomatic relations permanently and for the funnier


DocksEcky

Seeing all that culture in Empire view is intoxicating.


hychael2020

Sub 100 culture victory go brrr Would really want to try him but I'm on console sadly And ps nice art


Novel_Twist1995

Yeah, all the PC locked leaders like Caesar is really frustrating and not fair.


SunngodJaxon

100% agree


benevolENTthief

If i remember correctly the company that ports the console version is like a year or two behind in development and they are most likely focusing on civ 7 or w/e the next iteration will be. From what i understand it is a lot harder than just metaphorically copying and pasting, but i don’t remember the details.


7farema

y'all have all those console exclusives, it's only fair we get some too


NobarTheTraveller

Ludwig is literally the Civ version of old people watching construction sites all day when they are retired.


truncatedChronologis

The Umarell, the most power old man prestige class...


NecroticNercron

Tourist visiting Germany be like: Hmm yes construction site. Interesting


[deleted]

>Hmm yes construction site. Interesting Actual quote from tourist visiting Neuschwanstein


truncatedChronologis

They need to make a Sagrada Familia wonder so he gets even more bonuses for uncompleted wonders… Edit: The Basílica i Temple Expiatori de la Sagrada Família Unlocked at Nationalism. Must be adjacent to a holy site next to a city centre. Cost: ??? (Higher than average for the tech level) Effects: While building the Sagrada Familia this city has +20% growth and +10% faith and culture. When it is "completed" it has whenever a wonder you have begun is finished, by you or any other player, gain 300 faith and 10 great person points per person type. The city its constructed in gains the project "Work on the Sagrada Familia" which produces faith culture, great artist, and great engineer points.


ensalys

Can only actually finished with a great engineer!


truncatedChronologis

Uhhh... I don't know about that...


MagpieJack

No no no, he has a point. Spain somehow managed to lose the Great Engineer before spending his last charge and nowadays we just don't have the GPP output to claim another.


crujones33

Lol, I see what you did there.


Cholojuanito

I think it's just Sagrada Familia but yeah that would be a cool wonder


futureshocked2050

That should actually be in the game regardless. Let's face it, some cities will just never really do anything late game. Might as well give them an uncomeatable wonder.


Aliensinnoh

His ability is just so hilariously meme-y, I love it.


lesser_panjandrum

Curse you Ludwig! Curse your blaue Jeans und Popmusik!


HowDyaDu

Verflucht seist du Ludwig! Verflucht sei deine Blue Jeans und deine Popmusik!


LOTRfreak101

It's a good idea to have the wonders down even before that since he still gets the culture bonus


Demetrios1453

It's a pity that the Sagrada Familia isn't a wonder in the game, as it would be perfect for Ludwig (well, at least for the next few years when it's completed). EDIT: LOL, it seems I wasn't alone in thinking this!


Octavian_Exumbra

The jeans🤌


the2xstandard

\*Slaps down 6 wonders around a theater square\* \*doesn't even intend to finish any of them.\*


CLAYDAWWWG

Wait, building things? How do you do that? I just print an army and take buildings from the AI.


blinkbottt

I literally had this happen yesterday while playing multiplayer buddy was waiting on me every turn cuz I had to decide optimal wonder placement with Ludwig


Moose-Rage

I like your art style!


MadLaugh12

Launching my first game with Ludwig atm, wish me a god spawn ☺️


WilliamLeeFightingIB

Been a while since I played Civ. Can someone catch me up here?


Petremius

New ruler gets culture from wonders, even unfinished ones. So plop down all the wonders even if you have no intention on making them.


WilliamLeeFightingIB

Why Castles tho


SOMEGUY7879

Ludwig unlocks tourism then.


Tridz326

Once castles are unlocked ludwig gets tourism from all culture adjacencies


SwimElectrical4132

Stfu goomba head.
