oooooooh wait i just remembered to look, this ptole!cleo uses the more garish teal jewelry! on one hand i like it, on the other hand im sorry for those that hate it

 

[fy00sh]

oh also ptole!cleo's jersey is aquaDK on yellowLT, while sundiata gets redDK on yellowLT

Sundiata Keita speaks Maninka language.

 

[Laurana Kanan]

Just to further clarify Sundiata Keita's discount on Great People is for gold only, not faith.

I really like Cleo's ability, I think people who enjoy the appeal game will like it.

No more ugly orange and red squares! Will work pretty well with preserves as well.

 

[AntSou]

Also, Ramesses facial animations looked fine in the bit I saw. There was no audio though.

Man, they really just need to put some more effort into the jewellery. They've edited leaders before, it would make a big difference.

 

[Laurana Kanan]

Pete intimated that the next two packs will both drop next month.

 

[fy00sh]

i think ptole!cleo and ramses actually present a pretty cool dichotomy for how to play an egyptian culture game. ptole!cleo is way more appeal, start location, lotsa floodplains focused, very terrain-based abilities. whereas ramses is much more flexible, slap down districts and wonders along any river you can find, use sphinxes to make parks outta the rest of the territory you have

 

[Laurana Kanan]

No mention of any bug fixes.

 

[SammyKhalifa]

I enjoyed the "that's great!" hot mic

If we go by the 3 week rule, 9th of March and 30th of March.

Ramses and Sundiata look fun and interesting enough. "Foodie Cleo" looks much less fun. She just LOVES food.

Really cannot BELIEVE they found time to insert a "Lion King" joke into the introduction for Sundiata. Not only did this feel inappropriate...it also reveals the "Disney-inspired" character design for what it is.

Inappropriate? The original story of the Lion King is based on the life of Sundiata, so this comparison is 100% appropriate.

 

[Guandao]

I thought Lion King was based on Hamlet?

The Lion King is an adaptation of Hamlet.

 

[AntSou]

Sundiata looks really good.

 

[Laurana Kanan]

I think we can all agree that having @Andrew Johnson [FXS] on the livestreams makes them so much more interesting! I loved hearing all the historical tibits throughout and how they affected the gameplay for each leader.

 

[SammyKhalifa]

The leaders seem to be trending better in a "fun factor" for me as we progress through the releases here.

 

[queenpea]

Let's face it, anything is going to be more interesting than original Cleopatra.

Also tbh a Lion King joke seems quite appropriate to me.

Why does it feel appropriate?

 

[Guandao]

The Lion King can't have been based on the epic of Sundiata Keita. I doubt Disney knew of it back then. Scar is obviously a Claudius inspired character.

I think they deleted their comment.
