As if the convention was common, each generation of “Civilization” always gave people a feeling of lack of something at the beginning of their birth. By the constant completion of the expansion of the information piece, the generation of “Civilization” became a complete body and became a leader in similar works
After the rise and fall of the rise, “Civilization 6” also ushered in its second big expansion piece “Fantastic Change”. Unlike the “era” elements that focus on the rise and fall of the times, the focus of “changes” is the ubiquitous thing – the natural environment
The development of a civilization from beginning to end is impossible to leave the influence of the environment, and it naturally gives both gifts and disasters. People always say that people have the ability to conquer nature and long for endless claims. However, the emergence of disasters makes us feel that nature seems to be “conscious”. It is not known that the balance is broken under the circumstances of a long period. A series of tiny chain reactions will eventually bring devastating consequences
In this DLC, F provides a new way of playing, from the inside out, civilization will have more interaction with the external environment. If the rise and decline of civilization before the change of the situation depends more on internal conditions, then the new era civilization will face even more unpredictable threats of external conditions. If you change, you will lose, and in the face of unrelenting nature, how to use it well becomes a new problem that players need to think about
Unlike the players who are strategizing and going through a round of cycles to experience a simple disaster baptism, the human beings in reality are even more powerless. Although today’s world technology is highly developed, these are built on the ruins of many destructive civilizations. In addition to man-made disasters, the cause of destruction is the most natural disaster
Several iconic disasters in the changing world, such as floods, diseases, volcanic eruptions, climate change, etc., are taken from real precedents and what we are feeling now
The country of the seabed.
Atlantis, this name often appears in art works, is a legendary country of authenticity. The movie “Neptunus”, which was hot in the past, brought it back to the public’s vision
The main character in the movie, Arthur, has half the Atlantean blood and is free to breathe underwater. Atlantis is an underwater country with a beautiful architectural style and a technological level far beyond the land. Its people live underwater like fish. Although these are the artistic concepts of film creation, they all draw on the relevant historical content in reality
According to the BC historical records, Atlantis may have existed, and now there will be news from time to time that scientists have discovered the traces of the seabed country. Before the disaster, Atlantis developed a highly developed civilization, but all of this was wiped out by an unprecedented tsunami, land sank into the sea, and civilization was destroyed. Of course, since it falls to the bottom of the sea, the residents here will certainly not escape. It is only in the works of related subjects that they have been given new capabilities by the imaginative artists, adapted to the underwater life, and succeeded in continuing the fire of civilization. Go on
The story of Atlantis is a typical disaster legend. Now many researchers have given very rich assumptions, such as earthquakes, collisions between stars and tsunami, but they have not really explained Yate. The reason why the Landis civilization disappeared completely, even if “it” really existed, there is only evidence that a mysterious civilization left behind the traces of existence
The town buried in the flames.
Compared to Atlantis, the people of Pompeii are much more decent, at least there are “fossils” to survive
The volcanic eruption seen in the CG propaganda CG should be derived from the ancient city of Pompeii.
This ancient city not far from Rome developed an excellent economy as early as BC. The city planning is mature, the people’s life is rich, and the high development of material life has inspired people’s pursuit of spiritual life, making the cultural development here. Quite gratifying
But this seems to have caused the embarrassment of nature. One day in 79 AD, the Vesuvius volcano in the north of the city suddenly broke out. A huge amount of volcanic ash swept the deadly lithic rain and toxic gas quickly spread throughout Pompeii. Within a few hours, the city turned into a sea of fire, many people I have been buried here before I even have time to run
This situation lasted for nearly a day, the roar of the volcano ended, everything was silent, and Pompeii was completely transformed into a dead city
It was not until 1748, thousands of years later, that the ancient city of Pompeii that disappeared from the map was truly discovered. People excavated the volcanic ash shell of the human body from the ground and learned the existence of the ancient city. Gradually, more and more things have been dug up. People finally know what happened in the once prosperous place, business, politics, art culture, social customs, and accumulated decades of brilliant achievements. In the face of disasters less than a day, Completely vulnerable
Black plague.
Although it has not been directly displayed in the propaganda CG, this time, the new scene battle “Black Death” that DLC joined will show us the impact of disease on civilization
Viruses and bacteria are also part of the natural environment. Humans have been working to transform them to make them good for people, but in history, there are always several times when the disease catches up with humans
Europe’s medieval plague is one of the most famous ones. Its protagonist is called “plague”, which is the black death of the Europeans at that time. This long-lasting plague lasted for six or seven years, taking thousands of lives, causing social unrest, having a tremendous impact on all levels of society, and having a profound impact on the development of European civilization
Nothing is not broken, things always have both sides. After the baptism of the plague, European civilization has also been given the opportunity to change. Scholars later discovered that the Great Plague became the “watershed in the middle and late Middle Ages”. After that, religious autocracy was broken, and technological and cultural breakthroughs were restricted. If there is no chance of the Black Death, the status quo of European civilization may be another. Look like a look
As with the setting of the dark age and the heroic era in the rise and fall of the rise and fall, Europe, which has survived the disaster, has gained an additional historical acceleration, which just confirms the humanistic power that has been sung in the Civilization series: although it is tough with nature. The confrontation is irrational behavior, but human beings can always gain valuable experience in this process, to better promote their own development
Global warming.
This is the most significant global natural problem today. Because the “Civilization” series involves a wide range of latitudes and the subject matter is realistic enough, it is not surprising that this content is added to the game
This is quite a kind of “warm boiled frog”, the direct impact of change is not obvious enough, people will always ignore it selectively, but in fact it has been happening, has been slowly eroding human civilization
The most intuitive problem brought about by global warming is the melting of glaciers, rising sea levels and the gradual decline of coastal land. If you feel that this thing is too far away from us, you can’t imagine it, and when the DLC goes online, you can go to the game and feel it. In fact, this reminds me of the fact that many villains in the game and anime use the “destruction of the environment” as a reason to accuse the human beings of doing things. However, in “Civilization”, things are put on the table, and everyone can naturally understand at a glance. The meaning of it. So in essence, this DLC, updated in this Civilization, is also based on a calm thinking about the relationship between humans and the natural environment. It’s not that it must make a strong appeal for everyone to protect the environment, but starting from some subtle places, I hope to be touched and changed
Destroy, rebuild, destroy, and rebuild. The development of civilization itself is a reciprocating cycle of human and nature interaction. The thousands of years of civilization felt in the game is only a small part of the whole nature. From the rise and fall of the ups and downs to the changing circumstances, these two words from the “Civilization” DLC highly summarize the history of the development of human civilization, and they will continue to penetrate the future of human civilization
The current prosperity of mankind may be just a bottle of water in history. What happens in the future, we can’t predict nature absolutely accurately, because it is impermanent and unpredictable, but even if the ending is the end, the human civilization is magnificent. History can also be described in one sentence
“Without killing you, it will make you stronger.”
