Civilization VI's trailer -- like so many other game trailers -- contains no gameplay footage.
Steam page for Civ VI: http://store.steampowered.com/app/289070/
This is a new game, coming out in October 2016. The sixth in the Civilization series.
I'm kinda curious what it's like. I know, I have Civ V thanks to a friend gifting it to me, but I haven't gotten around to playing it.
So I check it out. There's a 1 minute 45 second trailer on the store page. I watch it.
It's 1 minutes and 45 seconds of putting me into the mood to find out more about the game. Then the video stops.
...see it's this sort of thing that makes me wonder if this advertising is perhaps more aimed at people who already know the Civ series, as opposed to people who are new to it. So those of us who are new to it, such as myself, gradually feel left out in the dark by all these trailers and stuff that all seem to imply certain things but don't actually say them, because we don't know what they imply.

Maybe though they should at least have screenshots of menus and such, since that's presumably a large part of the game.
It's slightly complicated by the fact that there's no such thing as a war-machine tank in Latin, because there were...rather few of them back then. I could use lacus, piscina, or cisterna, but ...

Probably the closest thing would be a testudo actually -- an armored battering ram.
Also, the ungrammatical usage of "fight" requires a similarly ungrammatical conjugation of, say, pugnāre. Perhaps the singular imperative, pugnā. Thing is, though, written without the accent mark, it resembles the noun pugna, which just means "fight" (as in, like, a fight, a brawl, etc.). We could try the plural, pugnāte, or simply be fine with sounding like "my
tankarmored battering ram is a fight". Which is still oddly and somewhat hilariously nonsensical I guess.Also, Latin has no articles, so the odd lack of articles in this sentence can't be directly replicated in Latin. Word order is nearly meaningless in Classical Latin due to nearly everything being specified by word endings, though SOV is a common word order.
TESTUDO MEA PUGNA EST
Mon char est battre!
Watashi no sensha tatakau da!
Moy tank boy!
