Thanks to everyone who flagged and reported this issue :)

I’ve thrown my own bug report (with video!) into the mix. Apparently “the appropriate team has been notified of the issue.” Here’s hoping…

Qin the Zombifier, eh? This should be fun!

In terms of how good their models are:- 1. Wu Zetian 2. Ana Nzinga 3. Sundiata Keita In terms of how strong their abilities are:- 1. Victoria 2. Yongle 3. Ludwig II In terms of how interesting/thematic their abilities are:- 1. Ludwig II 2. Sundiata Keita 3. Tokugawa

Ultimately what we have got from the Leader Pass is more akin to a set of high quality alternate leader mods. Limited in scope, but with the benefit of Firaxis’s art department and voice casting agencies. This is not to say that there aren’t modded leaders which are way more interesting than...

Unimaginative abilities these really. I guess Ludwig was really the high point of this pass. Alternate Victoria looks really strong, but in a boring way. I was hoping for something involving railways at least.

:eek2: How does that even work? I thought planes had to be assigned to a city centre or aerodrome district. Could the barbarian fighter attack?

I’m afraid as a Londoner that rendition of St Paul’s is firmly in the off-puttingly inaccurate. It almost looks like one of the alternate designs that was never made:-

I don’t quite recognise the building in the backdrop. I suspect it is supposed to be Richmond Palace (sadly no longer extant).

I see that Harald’s new armour leaves his throat exposed. I think he may come to regret that.

Yeah disappointingly modern. Firaxis is too enamoured with the Civ 5 memes unfortunately.

I’m surprised Elizabeth isn’t wearing white makeup, and I’m disappointed that Victoria doesn’t look older. But overall these are ok models. Not quite sure what they were going for with Harald, but I think he’s possibly a difficult leader to work with.

I don’t think they need to do this. It isn’t the Seowon — Theodora still gets all the normal adjacencies for Holy Sites, and those adjacencies are pretty easy to get anyway (contrast this with Commercial Hubs or Theatre Squares…). You don’t need to surround Theodora’s Holy Sites with farms. But...

Disagree, it’s better to settle cities wherever you can. Farm heavy flatlands also lack production, which will set you back even if you’ve got Work Ethic. You will probably not find that the optimal HS placement allows for a complete circle of farms. In those cases it never hurts to be able to...

The pantheons potentially give you more options to boost adjacency. You can’t build farms on desert, tundra or hills (at least until Civil Engineering). So they are not harmful, they just give you more flexibility, especially where mountains and natural wonders are involved as you will often...
