Indeed, we should prepare a fanfare and a party!
I'm very glad with Indonesia, it seems I may even play them before Brazil...
Awaiting seancolorado's grand arrival
still early here in colorado
I wonder why they make you settle on another continent though.
Spoiler :
Probably because Indonesia is a group of islands. This encourages them to be naval.
It's 4 free luxuries (2 * 2) which is decent. I wonder why they make you settle on another continent though. It's a similar bonus to the Dutch and Arabs though... The Kris warrior is of course the stereotypical part of its bonusses. Surprised they didn't go for a female leader here. Will Maria really stay alone?
Sure, but in-game. What's the exact definition of continent in civ5. Do the lonely islands count? (Will Indonesia thus be stronger in the Continents/Pangea Plus maps?))
while I do love the inclusion of Gajah Mada and Indonesian civ, I feel it very odd that the civ will be named "Indonesia" because that name is not used until 19th century during Dutch East Indies colonisation.
Why don't the just call it Majapahit empire or Java empire (altough this willl be inaccurate because Majapahit core territory is Eastern Java, Madura and Bali, but not including western Java which is the territory of Sunda kingdom)
Kris. A curvy dagger which is the same as what Gajah Mada is holding.
It is a often a symbol of power and authority and holds great spiritual significance among Malay and Indonesian culture.
Not impressed so far. Two unique luxuries is decent in the beginning but weak in the long term. I hope Indonesia has a unique building/improvement to make up for it.
It always bothered me the fact that most of the time the civs don't want to settle cities on another lands, even in Archipelago.
