Spoiler :

 

[Birdjaguar]

What does the xx turn number mean?

 

[BenZL43]

In the picture? It indicate turns needed to unlock the civic, I think.

 

[cakes]

wow capitalism comes pretty late. i thought that was an 18th century thing

 

[von_Wurttemburg]

Would the Mercenaries civic unlock a special unit which can only purchase in the city?

 

[AbsintheRed]

That's only the first 2 eras though

 

[Ivan Hunger]

I notice that the religion civics are only prerequisites for other religion civics. So if you don't want to bother with founding a religion, you could theoretically just never research any of them.

 

[stealth_nsk]

That's logical. Religion is optional, you could live without founding one, so you should be able to skip related civics.

 

[BenZL43]

Can anybody decipher this Feudalism tooltip's text?

Spoiler :

 

[King Jason]

Screenshot thread.

Not sure if this has been talked about but the "feudalism" civic grants +1 food to each adjacent farm when 3 farms are adjacent to each other. So that is confirmation of how adjacent farms will get a big boost. You will definitely want to have a lot of adjacent farms in civ6.

Serfdom makes it so newly trained Builders gain +2 actions and Feudal Contracts is +50% to production of Medieval & Renaissance melee/ranged units.

Social media is the pinnacle of the tech tree? Social media? Should be the Internet. I sure hope 'Facebook' isn't a wonder or anything.

It's not the pinnacle of society—it's just the end. ;-)

 

[Ivan Hunger]

Wouldn't the internet be a technology, rather than a civic?

Thank you! Do you happen to know which videos are that from?

 

[Thormodr]

It's not the pinnacle of society&#8212;it's just the end. ;-)

Agreed. It should also provide espionage points.

 

[qwerty25]

I hope we can build "meme factories"!

Honestly though its pretty hard to think of cultural achievements in the future. Like what would it be?

Robot rights? Panoptician planning? Corporate Countries?

 

[Bkeela]

Wouldn't the internet be a technology, rather than a civic?

Ah, I thought it was the tech tree. That's why I was astonished. Actually, social media makes sense as a 'civic'.

 

[JimmyBanks]

FilthyRobot read out the Non Disclosure agreement in his twitch video... interesting that they were not meant to talk about Religions or pretty much anything after the Modern era... it appears some people may have breached their NDA's. Hope they aren't expecting an invite back to Firaxis before 21st October..

 

[BenZL43]

There's a video removed, the one that contain the full Tech Trees. I think NDA breach must be the reason.

 

[TheMarshmallowBear]

I just noticed that Mobilization doesn't seem to have any prerequistes.... yet you can't research it... I wonder how complete the two Trees are, because they seem to be rather unbalanced (there's one tech branch that keeps going quite far, and there's one here as well)
