    [NFP] Ethiopia Update Discussion Thread

    It's just kind of bizarre that they're only reusing idles and diplomatic animations, since 1. they require little-to-no lipsyncing and less filmed reference than the fully spoken scenes and 2. they are unskippable animations that you see more than any other during gameplay. The idle pose is a...

    more wonders in New Frontier Pass?

    Would really love to see Shibam in some form, if I'm not mistaken I don't think there's any reference to Yemen in game except for Sana'a in Arabia's city list so it'd be nice to see it get more recognition. The Leshan Buddha deserves a look-in, too. Sagrada Familia would be a great addition -...

    Civilization: Game vs. History

    To be fair, the statue in Cluj-Napoca/Koloszvar they based Matthias' model on was made hundreds of years after his death. The historical Matthias looked quite different, though his hair was still fabulous.

    Which Civilization VI capital cities, including city-states, have you visited?

    Canberra, Te-Hokianga-Nui-A-Kupe, Paris, London, Rome for capitals. Auckland, Brussels, Hong Kong and Vatican City for city states. Was on a train that went through Bologna iirc, I wish I'd checked it out.

    [NFP] Civilization VI: Maya & Gran Colombia Pack Discussion Thread

    "Only you could have prevented this" is in the text for a forest fire occurring. Nice, and also accurate since I accidentally started it with my Soothsayer.

    [NFP] Civilization VI: Maya & Gran Colombia Pack Discussion Thread

    Yep, they reuse neutral idle and trade agreement animations. Not sure what else, but all the spoken anims are new, really liked LSS's when I met her in game. Haven't had much time to play around yet but the Soothsayer seemed more fun than I was expecting, also really like the City State choices.

    [GS] Thread in which I dump the gifs I've made of the GS leaders

    Look at those epaulettes fly! Love that last one in particular, I suspect it's the last animation you see before you're mobbed by Llaneros.

    [NFP] Maya First Look

    Sure, but the agree/disagree animations are the simplest/don't require lipsyncing and would be the last to be completed, either they're being finished now or the footage is from an earlier build. I mean I don't know for sure, but I seriously doubt they were just going to release her with...

    [NFP] Maya First Look

    Regarding the animations and appearance, this is nowhere near as controversial as Teddy's, which required a complete remodelling of the face, in comparison Seondeok and Tamar only needed slight base colour texture changes (and Wilhemina, iirc she was really taking the Dutch orange thing a bit...

    [NFP] Civilization VI: Possible New Civilizations Thread

    I took the Cree icon for granted and assumed that maybe there was a similar style to PNW artists further inland to some extent, but now it does seem like a bit of a mistake to have it as the icon, especially considering the care that otherwise seems to have gone into making the Cree. Perhaps a...

    [GS] Gathering Storm Leader Ability Elimination Thread

    5. Harald Hardrada - Thunderbolt of the North [30] 16. Hojo Tokimune - Divine Wind [5](6-1) This really doesn't belong in the top tier. 20. Kristina - Minerva of the North [8] 24. Matthias Corvinus - Raven King [24](21+3) Even with the nerf still extremely strong, as well as unique and fun. If...

    [NFP] Civ 6 Leaders Chronology - updated August 2020

    Good work! Only thing I noticed that's without contention is Matthias' reign began about ten years earlier. It seems bizarre that there's noone between Peter and Shaka, that's a huge, important, visually distinctive time with countless memorable leaders.

    Hungary is Pretty Awesome

    I had no expectations for them before GS dropped but they've become my favourite civ in the game. Armani hopping and getting swordsmen for next to nothing while that jaunty music plays is the closest Civ VI gets to pure joy.

    What are your "unpopular" opinions about Civ6?

    - I love the art style and greatly prefer it to V. - There should be a lot more Native Anerican civs in the game. The current roster kinda reflects poorly on a North American studio like Firaxis. The Iroquois at the very least are a must. - I want to see more left-field and downright unpopular...
