Sid Meier's Civilization Revolution - Space Flight

[ShiggityBlam]

I can see why the President there went with the civilian space shuttle option. If those missiles on the military shuttle could only maneuver using their fins, they'd be useless outside the atmosphere!

Still, I love how this was animated. The President almost looks like Phoenix Wright, with the way he points so dramatically.

[captainrex999]

1998 ad are u kidding they cant make something like that yet

[ShiggityBlam]

@captainrex999 You should see this one Civ 1 video where the Russians, led by Leon Trotsky, colonized Alpha Centauri in the 1850's. Ten years after the man was born in history, in fact.

Civilization is weird like that!

[ShiggityBlam]

@captainrex999 ... Oops, I got it wrong. Trotsky was born in 1879 ... and in the Civ I video his civ reached Alpha Centauri in 1859.

Nevertheless! Civilization is still weird.

[FridgesWithAppetite]

Am i suddently obligated to do something i do not want?

Life is precious, live the present.

[FridgesWithAppetite]

Btw: do you really think mankind would have made it this far if our ancestors didnt believe in superior creatures? We humans are always looking for a purpose. Let me tell you something.

The purpose can be anything, anything that makes you smile and makes you feel important.

It is not like there is a common purpose for us all, no, dont be ridiculous. Let's asume there is a common purpose for all conscious creatures. Alright, is that purpose to rub eachothers backs? Am i suddently obligated to do

[sithalo]

is it really like how it iis where the president is choosing diffretn types?

[05071996]

How did i get here?

[CaptainJoystick]

Why didn't they attach any module to the underside of the ship? What a waste of space...

[LegoMovieMan44]

0:43 Lol The pillar of autumn.

[finalfantasyqwertyui]

sadly in real life that would put us in a bigger debt then what we're in now....it would be the shit though if we could do that X)

[balex0]

Assembling it in space? That's simply genius. Haha :)

[MichaelSephiroth]

Read well, it says 1998 AD !!! That means, After Democracy :P

[DestructoMonkey]

Its funny because the colony ship vaguely reminds me of colony ships from Galactic Civilizations II

[criandonocaos]

Projetos do homem

[blackdud4378]

in a civ game i got to space era once by 1700 lol

[nickONtheNET332]

then the necromorphs came along and thats oe dead space began

[tossenbossen]

space penis

[fatboybozo]

Come on NASA get your fingers out, these blokes managed all of this in 2 minutes!

[robbertbonn]

is...is that some sort of giant penis wtf?!?!?

[spezow1234]

@robbertbonn as a matter of fact, it is, why do you ask?

[willhood444]

that ship looked so easy to make

[123mmify]

fake

[DrDeso1]

@123mmify well no shit. It even says in the title which video game it's from

[123mmify]

@DrDeso1 its not the actual cutscene

[banjosolid]

civ 5 doesnt even have cutscenes when you win...wtf

[waffelcopter23]

@banjosolid this ist cid 5 its revolution

[whatdouthink96]

1998...wow

[doneystoney]

Sweet its Alpha Centuri!

[DaemonBright]

@doneystoney then this would be my revolution of choice to leave that red tuna-fish-soup optik like planet

[Lollocide]

Science is all about making a a spaceship that looks like a Halo-esque rifle with some bubblewrap on it land on a green planet.

[TheTattorack]

Aw, man!

1998......

Its almost 2012 and we STILL haven't even colonized Mars!

(sobs)

[SubMeSub]

@TheTattorack that's because of religions and ignorance

[HooshIsASoup]

@SubMeSub Sorry, but religion is not what's keeping mankind on Earth. It's the expense of space exploration, combined with politics, that is doing it. Just look at how many people sneer at space programs as wasteful spending that could be put to better use on one of their pet issues, like the environment or the economy.

If the U.S. had maintained the level of funding and public support for NASA it had in the Space Race, we could've had space stations orbiting Jupiter by now.

[FridgesWithAppetite]

@HooshIsASoup I dont think so.. Traveling space requires time, more time than a single person have, which means none of us will ever travel space and even if we were to travel space it would take 100 of years to get to our destination(even traveling the speed of light seems like to take way too long, and such power we will never achieve). Listen to what i say: Intelligence leads to misery, ignorance leads to happiness.

[HooshIsASoup]

@FridgesWithAppetite You're so busy demanding I listen to what you say that you ignored what I said in reply to that jerkass. So how about you take your own advice and listen to what *I* say?

Jupiter is not light years away. The Galileo space probe reached Jupiter via Hohmann transfer orbits (slingshotting from one planet to another) in six years. They were working on nuclear propulsion vehicles (Project Orion) in the 50's and 60's that could've done it inside a month.

[FridgesWithAppetite]

@HooshIsASoup You are obviously too stupid to understand what i said, let me put it easy for u. You live once, spend it well, dont think of the memories that negatively affects you. Btw it is not a demand, its an advice, be careful how you see the world kid. Anyway, what the fuck are you going to do on jupiter? did you know: If we were to settle on another planet, its gravity have to be almost exactly like earths? And traveling space for 6 years is impossible without gravity on the spaceship, y

[FridgesWithAppetite]

@HooshIsASoup All muscles get fucked up without gravity, you will die, sadly. Anyway jupiter consists of almost only gas.

And the biggest point of mine is: you will never leave this planet, you will die here on earth, so why the fuck care?

[HooshIsASoup]

@FridgesWithAppetite I'd ask if you're high or something, but you're too pushy, hostile, and aggressive to be stoned. If I'm "obviously an idiot," then you're obviously an asshole who thinks too highly of himself.

I'm not even sure why you've taken to (failing at) lecturing me about never leaving Earth when the whole point of my comment was responding to an ignorant jerk who was trying to claim that religion prevents space exploration.

[FridgesWithAppetite]

@HooshIsASoup Basically what u are saying is: if you call me an idiot then you are obviously more idiot than me because i am the greatest? I wonder what u put in the words: pushy, hostile and aggresive. What words exactly did i write that u percieved as hostile or aggresive? This was my last comment btw.

[HooshIsASoup]

@FridgesWithAppetite Never mind, you probably ARE stoned. Tell you what, when you sober up, go back and read my first comment. Pay close attention to whom I was replying to, find their comment, and read it. Then you will understand the context of my own comment.

If you paid closer attention to what I typed I don't even think you'd be spending all this time talking down to me.

[jihncrazy]

Church delayed us about 200 years.Three moments the history could be drastically changed Fire in alexandria library.

Turkish invasion on europe.

And the dark age.

[33vortex]

@jihncrazy There is a fourth moment coming up right now...

[Kemonokami]

@jihncrazy

Thank goodness that Monasticism preserved such knowledge.

[Deadganon]

@jihncrazy u know the sad thing is that religion hasnt really grasp the idea on.... religion hates science but if god does exist didnt he give us the knowledge and know how to create technology and science.... religion is going against their own god's gift... i know religion wont see eye to eye on evolution but evolution aint the same as science ... in a way i mean. Religion makes no sense half the time,we believe in this but we go against what we believe he can do and made us for.

[sithalo]

@Deadganon whos to say all the scientest and what they brought us arnt the answers to ppls prays for help?

[Deadganon]

@sithalo exactly, religious ppl could be going against their own god's vision or gift that he gave us and think that they are doing good. I hate the church and all that it represents cuz it had nothing but a bloody past and i refuse to believe that IF there is a god that he wants what the church has did in the past.... crusades.... everything that it preeches..... when i look at religion i see this... believe in what i say god is all about or ur dead.. that's what chrisitianity became

[sithalo]

@Deadganon i read a think it said ppl who want u to think are intrested in enlightnement ppl who tell u how to think ie every religion no offence to them all. are intrested in control

[HooshIsASoup]

@Deadganon What ignorant nonsense. Religion doesn't "hate" science. Some of the greatest scientific minds of human history were religious. Did you know that the man behind the Human Genome Project, Francis Collins, is a Christian?

Please drop this silly "warfare" belief on religion and science.

[Deadganon]

@HooshIsASoup I will drop this silly warfare belief on religion and science when religious fanatics stop burning books and hate science for whatever reason.... Im not saying all christians hate science but there are enough of them to hold us back to where we should be in scientific knowledge!!!!

[HooshIsASoup]

@Deadganon No, that's just what you want to believe.

You want to believe religious people are backward, primitive, and superstitious, so you can blame the world's problems on them. You cling desperately to whatever feeds your prejudices. You fixate on people like Harold Camping while ignoring groups like the British Christians in Science, the American Scientific Affiliation, and the Australian ISCAST, which have hundreds of scientists as members.

Wake up from your ignorance.

[Deadganon]

@HooshIsASoup ya.... its just what i want to believe huh... thats why what the church did to ppl in the past which is in history books must be superstitious... religious fanatics who clearly say science is evil, that must all be in my head....I think u are living in a fantasy land and believe that religious ppl are like the 2nd coming and cannot be evil or hypocrites,or ignornant,etc. religious ppl are humans too and humans act the same way no matter if they are religious or not!

[HooshIsASoup]

@Deadganon It's interesting how you can say "humans can act the same way no matter if they are religious or not," yet at the same time believe you can place the blame for everything bad in the world on religion.

And yes, it IS all in your head, because you rabidly denounce religion itself for the actions of fanatics, as if the vast majority of religious people are exactly the same and that the world would be so much better if you could get rid of them all.

[HooshIsASoup]

@Deadganon Religion did not cause the "Dark Ages." The fall of the Western Roman Empire did, because it caused de-urbanization and a decline in knowledge of the Greek language (which most academic texts were written in; few were translated to Latin). It was actually the actions of Christian monks and clerics that kept scientific inquiry alive in Western Europe during this period, even when the Black Death threatened to tear it all down once again toward the late Middle Ages.

[charlietheunicorn88]

Then as the ship approached Dr. Hax Said as always "HAX!" and threw a giant Computer Monitor at the ship and it exploded and then Kennedy never made it to Alpha Centauri!

[eslington]

God, that space ship is kind of phallic.

[ninyall1]

he cheated there's no way in 1998

[Mcree114]

Along the way a reactor malfunction damages the Archaic, precipitating a crisis among the ship's 7 most powerful leaders. As they enter the Alpha Centauri system the crew splits into 7 distinct factions, divided not by nationality but by ideology and their vision for the new world. After the ship breaks apart the 7 leaders guide their chosen crew down to the surface of planet, seeking their destiny beneath an alien sky.

[ThInTrM]

@Mcree114 Just for once, I'd like to see a Civilization game that directly references Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri in its technology victory cutscene. ._.

[Something8830]

1998 my ass

[BeAwesomeful]

1998? LOL

[dalkos6]

0:55 looks like a penis lol

[Ruskyjam]

Is Alpha Centauri a real habitable planet?

[Xai0n]

@Ruskyjam Alpha Centauri is a star system.. This would be one of the planets within it..

[ZeHoSmusician]

@Xai0n AC doesn't have any planets.

[MeteorMan05]

@ZeHoSmusician We don't THINK it does.

[dwavenminer]

@Ruskyjam Alpha Centauri is just the closest solar system to ours, and of yet no earth-like plants have being shown to be within the Alpha Centauri system...

[TheBoozeInMe]

@dwavenminer True, although I don't think we have a telescope powerful enough to search for something so small. The planets are so small that it's like trying to find an ant on earth from space and most planets don't give off enough light to be seen

[franciscoricojrv]

i like more rise of nations

[MrCorpseGrinder88]

Twenty bucks says the landing pad's a huge vagina.

[Nijijinchuuriki]

@MrCorpseGrinder88 Thats a bet i'm willing to take...... 40 that it's your moms

[eurovisionairtv]

looks like a penis

[commando1124]

1:34 IMA FIERIN MAH LAZOR!

[Trans4mers8456]

SSSPP-- Do I even need to say it?

[villamayor83]

how do you get to alpha sentauri? I keep advancing on my game, but it all ends when it says the top civilization will win in 5 turns, how do I pass that? please reply

[Duke0Forever]

@villamayor83 lol,I landed to Aplha Centauri in year 1850 (king dificulty no scenarios)

[danimation96]

IS THIS THE FUCKING ENDING OF THIS FUCKING GAME SHIT?

[ubentu]

@danimation96 You're meant to play it multiple times. It's like chess.

[TheExtragamer]

it would be cool if you could conquer other planets later on and there is such things as space battles

[manines875]

you cant do that all in one day

[hagamablabla]

Planet's a lot greener than I remember.

[PlushGallade]

@hagamablabla I think so too. I tought it's suppose to be more grayish color.

[hagamablabla]

@PlushGallade Actually, reddish from the xenofungus.

[PlushGallade]

@hagamablabla Okay? Still, earth is dying and economy has collapsed. All thanks to British and their loves of making racist jokes.

[hagamablabla]

@PlushGallade Yeah... ok...

[bagofbarn]

Gravity???

[logicpwnsemotion]

1998? only zakharov gets on that ship then LOL!

[logicpwnsemotion]

Oh wait nvm it said reached AC at 1998 Derp

[Jimbeanlover89]

They seriously need to make SMAC II

[revolver2750]

in thise game cna you make space ships and have war??

[Kizor]

@revolver2750 No, it's a game about history. It hardly goes to the future at all. There are a few related games that do, but they aren't very good.

[revolver2750]

@Kizor k but thanks anyway

[Herfelt]

Everybody should know, that its 2100 mankind arrives at Alpha Centauri, Chiron! And a few years later all get eaten by mindworms/blasted into pieces by Judaa Marr.

[Doler12]

Then they got eaten by mind worms!

[athomicritics]

@Doler12 where that reference come from i see it on every civilisation video with the space victory

[CascadianPatriot]

@athomicritics

It's from Sid Meier's Alpha Centuri, where the colonists (from a ruined Earth) DO get eaten my mindworms (well, some of them, anyway...)

[proadmin1]

@athomicritics It's from the old game Alpha Centauri where you play a Civ like game as the Colonists, who come into contact with various threats - one of them notably is mindworms, a fungus hive-mind native to the Centauri world. Eventually one / "the" win condition is to direct the hive-mind and "ascend" your civilization along with it.

[mariusthegolden]

1:11 a giacantic space dick

[dariolm1]

what is that it looks like a giant,Peter what is that in the sky, looks like a huge , nutsack gets your sacks of nuts

[PassThePipeJimmy]

1998.... if only....

[Doorstopper5867]

@PassThePipeJimmy Fuckin' dark ages...

[EgaoNoGenki]

@PassThePipeJimmy Yeah, I would've loved to settle on other planets when I was 13!

But on Civ II, I have that beat; I landed a ship on Alpha Centauri in 1927 with the cheats off.

[nulnoh219]

@PassThePipeJimmy The Dark ages man...

[MrShortcrust1]

@PassThePipeJimmy well you can thank religion for that

[thedarkmaster13]

@MrShortcrust1 Nope, more likely you can thank budget cuts and massive military funding.

[omegapoint777]

@MrShortcrust1

Dumb fuck.

[geodo121]

@PassThePipeJimmy if technology had decided to go much faster, by 1998 we would be where we are today, then by 2012 we would have stuff like in this video (probably)

[thebigbluedino]

Lol it's shaped like a penis and nutsack

[blaa94]

@thebigbluedino

not really

[PyroDesu]

If I were ever to, in my life, fly on a spaceship on a journey that would take even as little as a year, I would want to go at a relativistic speed.
