[LP] Leader Pass: Rulers of England - 3/28 Developer Livestream w/ Andrew Johnson Discussion

[Thormodr]

Elizabeth and Victoria look fun. Elizabeth will be fun to raid with
Arrrr!!! Victoria is nudging towards her Germanic roots.

Harald is fine but not what I was hoping for. (Elizabeth stole his enhanced raiding. Lol.) C'est la vie.

 

[Alexander's Hetaroi]

Will you make Balmoral her capital?

I was contemplating that. The thing is Balmoral is just a Countryside Castle, and not necessarily a city, or even a real settlement. It doesn't even appear on their current city list, though it can just be added.
I might just make it Edinburgh because that was/is the actual capital of Scotland since their union with England. At least it's more appropriate for her than Boudicca.

 

[Hellenism Salesman]

I was hoping for something involving railways at least.

Modders please make this happen-

One final note with Steamed Vicky: it'd be funny if there were some sort of bug where each time you switched power plants it would count as a new Industrial Zone building and give you the +10%.

But that won't happen... right?

 

[Kupe Navigator]

Oh and is it true that Liz has same agenda as wilhelmina?

If so GROAN! another "send me trade or I'll hate your guts!" Leader...

That's my biggest complaint. Not only did they reuse another leader agenda, they used one of the most hated ones.

Hey, if you play with randomly chosen AI civs at least there's a chance of not getting original Harald in your games which means no "I hate you because you have no boats" when you're landlocked.

Come to think of it, same holds true for Mvemba having Ana Nzinga as an alt. There's a chance to be free from "spread your religion to me on the other side of an ocean"

 

[Kmart_Elvis]

I was also looking forward to making her an alt. for Scotland too and it pairs nicely with Scottish Enlightenment too.

Now I realize that's exactly what should've happened. She would've been perfect for Scotland, historically, thematically, and on a gameplay level. What a complete miss by FXS not to have done this. If only what could have been...

Especially she introduces herself as "queen of United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland."

 

[Kmart_Elvis]

Good do that. I would be interested to subscribe to that mod.
But they are boring like Sejong was.

They wouldn't be boring with Steampunk Victoria that's for sure.

Yeah, the Highlander sucks, but that's ok. Lots of civs have weak UUs, but it doesn't hold them back.

The Golf Course is ok. It gives an amenity so it works with the civ ability.

But damn, it would be nice to have a leader ability you could actually use, and not be a blank slate the whole game.

Unless there is info somewhere I've not looked into, the wording in the video makes me think she likes those who trade with her through the trade screen.

Groan ANOTHER one? Man not looking forward to having her as AI... I guess I'll stick with Victoria as both as an AI opponent and ( for age of steam Victoria) my English leader.

 

[AntSou]

Scrap the whole "Age of Steam" bit. It's already represented in "Workshop of the World."

I'd rather have a "Great Exhibition" Victoria. She's already dressed for the occasion (though perhaps a few decades too soon...)

Ability - British Museum:
- Each Archaeological Museum can hold six Artifacts instead of three and are automatically themed when they have six Artifacts. Archeologists have six charges, may enter foreign lands without open borders, and unlock at Humanism. Extracting an Artifact in foreign territory grants a tourism burst over this civilization (or gain an eureka?)

 

[Venceslau Pietro Pietra]

I'm late but looks like we have a poor man's Hungary and discount Portugal, the abilities arent exactly bad but...its nothing new, Vicky is the only one who i can see myself playing in the near future

What a low note to end civ 6. Not with a bang but with winmper.

It's not that bad. The models are fine and the abilities fixable.

Not a fan of Vicky's dress (seems a bit rubbery), but it's nowhere near as bad as Ramses.

 

[AntSou]

We debunked that a couple of weeks ago. It was for Caesar.

But then what about the LPJ? Also Caesar?

There's still a dlc there.

 

[Eagle Pursuit]

Yeah, as near as anyone can tell, LPJ was a preliminary DLC for Caesar and they made a new one for it. I expect the old one will get deleted when RoE comes out and maybe when Mac and Linux get the second half of LP.

 

[FishFishFish]

If Elizabeth's agenda is done through the trading screen, it will be a a lot more fair then Wilhelmina's agenda. Wilhelmina's agenda is super annoying because sometimes you literally can't trade with her.

 

[Thormodr]

New Harald could actually be a lot of fun in creating absolute chaos.
He is stronger than I initially thought.

Definitely not what I wanted but he certainly has possibilities.

 

[Eagle Pursuit]

For me, playing huge marathon games with barb clans, Harald is going to become another barb farmer.
