2K Games and Firaxis announced an all-new way to get your Civ on: Extreme Diplomacy. Ever wanted to see who would win a grudge match between Cleopatra and Caesar? How about Oda Nobunaga and George Washington? Soon you’ll be able to in Sid Meier’s Civilization V. To our great surprise, Civ V is no longer going for the PC strategy crowd. Instead, Sid Meier has his sights on Capcom’s famed Street Fighter series. Each of the great leaders featured in Civ V will have their own special attack; my personal favorites: Montezuma’s Revenge (I’ve actually experienced that down in Cancun), and George Washington’s Uncle Slam. The Uber Edition of Civ V will include an old-school, eight-way joystick bundle in to enhance the deathmatch mode.
Press Release: April 1, 2010 – 2K Games announced today a new game mode in Sid Meier’s Civilization® V, the upcoming turn-based strategy game from Firaxis Games. Should normal diplomacy or military might fail to resolve conflicts between empires, Extreme Diplomacy would allow two world leaders to enter a death match and fight to the finish, using special attacks and finishing moves. Two world leaders enter; one world leader leaves. The victor will obtain complete control of the challenger’s world empire. An Uber Edition of Sid Meier’s Civilization V will include an optional eight-button joystick to bring the classic fighting arcade game feel to these Extreme Diplomacy battles. Additionally, each world leader will have unique special attacks and finishing moves, including: · George Washington’s Uncle Slam Attack · Oda Nobunaga’s Tsunami Train Attack · Otto von Bismarck’s Hurricane Helmet Spike Attack · Ramesses II’s Phalanx of the Leopard Army · Montezuma’s Revenge of the Aztec Army · Napoleon’s Complex Military Strike In addition to the introduction of hexagon tiles allowing for deeper strategy, more realistic gameplay and stunning organic landscapes for players to explore as they expand their empire, Extreme Diplomacy gives Sid Meier’s Civilization V players yet another way to take over empires and conquer the world.
