Hey all,
I bought Civ V: Gods and Kings the other day, and the moment the intro played I was struck by an idea that seemed almost too obvious.
The basic game has an intro which centers around a leader of a hunter / gatherer group forming a city and his predictions of the future which he tells to his son who is taking over in his place.
Gods and Kings intro shares a similar tone and voice over, and even starts off with similar "my son" lines. What this tells me is that this is a continuation of the story started in the original Civ 5.
Gods and Kings focuses almost exclusively on civilizations and game mechanics which were influential in the middle ages. Religion, Espionage, and even scenarios relevant to the era such as the "Fall of Rome", "Into the Renaissance", etc.
If these two share a common story, and Gods and Kings is a continuation of that story focused on the middle ages, then it follows that a 3rd "chapter" in the saga would focus on either recent past (Industrial Era) *OR* the future, ala Alpha Centuari!
Games are frequently made into trillogies, and Civ II, Civ III, and Civ IV all had precicely 2 expansions.
Thoughts? Ideas?
Am I simply full of bananas?
