confirmed false information from pcgamer

[bobabu]

Apparently, Swedes have adaptive buildings which allow for a quick counter-attack.
And Inca is a skirmisher focused civ.
At least according to PC gamer.

Mod edit: Edited title to reflect that this information based on pcgamer review is confirmed false (reviewer most likely grabbed it from the Wars of Liberty mod wiki).

He is bashing the game a bit.
But I don't think he knows how important 2v2 multiplayer search and dedicated servers are.

@bobabu that link contains false information about the game. The civ descriptions are actually based on the Wars of Liberty mod and do not represent how those civilizations work in official Definitive Edition at all.

well, thank you. Yes its a bit cynical. And to some points I can agree, that it doesn't benefit from the graphics upgrades as much. but I do hope it revitalizes the multiplayer scene. Interesting though, we all thought Sewden would be a fast agressive civ, but appears more late game power heavy.

And the inc'as are a skirmish civ? so possilby weak units meant to hit n run...

So basically clickbait?

That has to be the worst video game article I've ever read. Like, just PM me guys I'll take a press release copy of the game and write a one-off piece for one hundred bucksh. This reads like the book report of a kid that didn't read the book.

Seems like they changed the article, now it (hopefully) shows correct information

There are also two new civilisations, the Swedish and the Inca. The Swedish benefit from slow, patient play. Early on, they have little to set them apart from many other European civs, but with plenty of food provided through their houses, they're able to expand across the map relatively quickly, using their wealth to call on mercenaries and bolster their armies.

Initially, the Inca are much more suited to a scrappy, skirmish-heavy playstyle at the start of the game, with hit-and-run attacks facilitated by warrior priests. Later on, however, they can turtle up with the best of them, eking out victories from behind sprawling, walled cities.

I would argue that's still misinformation at worst and a shitty article at best. Petition to ban pcgamer as a source from this forum.
