We got another developer diary from the new Paradox game Millennia!
This time the diary is about how your civilization is formed. Unlike the last Civ games, the civilizations in Millennia start as a blank canvas (besides the art style), which you can form yourself. If can create horse-back riding Spaniards, as well as industrial Mongols, with the national spirits. The system of these national spirits seems comparable to the goverments in e.g. Civ5, with stackable boni in different domains. The lesser chosen options will also get additional boni, ensuring more diversity and a balancing of weaker traits. For more information about national spirits please check this thread.
