Some CivBE Artwork

I like that one, but it'd have more meaning if it were related to the game.

It's BE concept art. Dunno if this structure will appear in the final version of the game though..

Definitely reminds me of the old Soviet motifs... Slavic Federation huh... 20+% Satellite duration. Fitting given Soviet space programs were first to introduce mankind into space to begin with

Don't let anyone forget who the real space pioneers were!

Well, there's more to it.. Can you see any resemblance between these two:

[BlaneckW]

Thy Kingdom come, thy Will be done, in Earth as it is in Heaven!

[JarlWolf]

Praised be thy name, for Gagarin have into space 

That's... wow. That's just something I lack proper words for, that is jarring that similarity..

It's actually very humbling that they went that far to honour/raise a glass to Gagarin like that, that makes me happy to be frank...

[BlaneckW]

Do not believe what the Turks and the heathens say, that there is a son of god.  His name starts with a G, a.....

[JarlWolf]

 

You know what makes even funnier is that Gagarin said, when he reached space, "The Earth is blue, but there is no god."
 

Now I am half expecting some goofy picture of him in some orthodox christian mural as a saint you are going to drag up out of depth of the internet.. half expecting. Other half expect is just you making a witty comment on that subject..

So, is Vazheli Vatzev going to take over the command of the Slavic Federation any time soon?

[BlaneckW]

All depends on how one defines god...

Though the song of yesterday fades into the challenge of tomorrow, Gagarin still watches and judges us.

Not exactly fond of that slogan... but Vazheli Vatzev might see light in this game. He's more internationalist though, fits SMAC better... might see him go with Slavic Federation though. Really depends... I'd have to figure out way to purchase and obtain this game, not sure if it run on my machine either 

We'll see.

And Blaneck, people need heroes, not gods. Gagarin is a hero I and many look up to- but he's not something one would worship. That's unhealthy.

Oh who cares, I don't know what worship is anyway.  Gagarin will definitely damn you to hell.  Gagarin is merciful and forgiving but you definitely cross the line with this atheisme.

Hell is where the free heating is and all the naughty stuff is, so that's fine
