I actually lost my starting warrior early on to barbarians in an unlucky combat roll (I had odds to win with 2hp remaining, 6 damage to 4 damage, and instead lost the unit) and so I played total farmer's gambit, setting several new cities with only a single scout for military. I found myself on the southern end of a smallish continent, with Russia located to my north beyond a long range of mountain peaks. For early city management, I purchased the grassland tile NE of the cows, so that the first cultural border expansion would grab that 3-food tile for free, and that gave Persepolis three good tiles, enough for the early game. I opened with scout/worker/settler, with no plans to go stealing workers from the AI or from city states to avoid cheese stuff. I settled in place after failing to find anything of note with the warrior. Pretty good stuff, especially those gems. I started a new game on Immortal difficulty with Persia using the default settings (Small, Continents, 6 AIs). I hadn't touched the game in over six weeks, but there were posters claiming that this patch was going to make some major strides forward, and I felt obligated to at least check it out. Pretty big one too, with a massive changelist of alterations. Satellites may not be able to capture images of that which has yet to be, but they can provide us with the inspiration needed to plan civilization’s future with the preservation of the Earth in mind.So there's a new patch out for Civ5.
With the right frame of mind, satellite imagery can become an instrument for planning in itself – one which will display the consequences of our actions without hesitation or apology. It forces us to comprehend the magnitude of our responsibility to preserve and protect the planet we call home. This medium is a chance for us to both marvel at the beauty we have created in the world, and that which we have destroyed. With this in mind, a more pertinent question arises: what does this power compel us to do? Daily Overview posits that it is not enough for us to simply admire the novel aesthetics of satellite imagery. While plan drawings show us an idea of the future, plan photographs capture change which has already been realized – for better or for worse. The images which satellites produce do not reflect unspoiled wilderness: cities and roads sprawl ever further across the landscape, a clear visual indicator of humanity’s increasing impact on the planet. What do we do with this power? In becoming a civilization capable of producing these databases, we have increasingly altered the Earth to better suit our needs. © Satellite images 2016, DigitalGlobe, Inc
