Just to say that I strongly dislike the "France=Paris" stereotype...
"Stereotype"? More like "two-hundred-year-old Parisian political agenda."

France is one of my favourite Civs in G&K - I love being able to expand and expand and expand without worrying about having enough Culture to acquire SPs.
I think I will miss the +2 Culture and the Foreign Legion - although uncomfirmed, my feeling is that they will indeed lose the +2 Culture as it'll probably be a bit too strong in BNW. But I'm hoping that, in terms of France's strength as a cultural Civ, it will be a case of 'plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose' ('the more it changes, the more it remains the same')
I'm pretty sure France's old culture will remain intact
Does anyone know if the Musketeers are still in the French civilization? I want to get that Three Musketeers achievement when I play France again.
Yes they are, thankfully. I will tollerate a lot of things I don't like because civ is such a smashing game (dumb warmonger AI, the Huns, the kris, spammable mohawk, norweigen ski infantry , the Über hwatcha glitch, STUPID WONDER SPAMMING ARSE FACE HIAWATHA AND HIS JACK BOOTED THUG FREIND WASHINGTON!, Etc.) but if they removed the musketeers, I actually would not buy BNW, just on general principle.
The H'wacha bug has been fixed for more than half a year now. But all your other points are completely valid (ugh, Hiawatha).
It's always funny to me when people complain about the really powerful AI's. Isn't one of the main criticisms of CiV how poorly the AI plays the game?
Guys like Alex and Hiawatha are why I can't imagine playing with random personalities. I love meeting one of those guys and realizing that **** just got real.

Hello, I'm a long time lurker but just created an account, still toying with a few features.
But a question I've had about new France...
Does anyone like the revamped UA? I mean, what are we talking about, maybe 50-65 extra tourism in one city? Keep in mind this number would be at the end of the game after museums AND after securing crucial wonders, like the Louvre. This just seems really weak to me, I mean, compared to their current UA which is among my top favorites.

Its a European civ so it have to be considerably weaker than other civs to fit the politically correct oikophobia theme going on everywhere in the west right now.Hello, I'm a long time lurker but just created an account, still toying with a few features.
