My comments: Finally! I'll be buying this today
You can find it on the Play Store by searching for "civ rev 2".
It looks like "new leaders" do have their own distinct era bonus, i.e. Kennedy's
America starts with a Great Person, but their era bonuses are: "Knowledge of
Democracy", "+1 Naval Unit movement", "+2 Naval Unit defense" and "+2
Bomber Attack".
With the updates, it looks like they're moving in the right direction toward
making Civ Rev 2 more distinctive, especially with the introduction of a New
Civilization and more New Leaders.
And for the naysayers who won't buy it until [it's out on PS4 / it supports
multiplayer / it has my nation's civ / it also washes my dishes ]... hey, they're
more likely to do so if it SELLS WELL...!
I would particularly like to encourage 2K to add multiplayer at some point
soon, because human players are the real challenge. Since I appreciate
multiplayer is possibly not as popular as we on these forums think, and
something of a "technical challenge" for developers, I'd be more than happy to
pay an in-app fee for multiplayer!
