Indeed! As we're one week away from release, I can now say what it is... Haiti with L'overtoure as its leader! Before I go in detail though, the halloween reference is very subtle (more so than most of you guys expected). Voodoo is the link, and one of the events will be featuring Zombification
(don't worry, without crossing the line into fantasy)
Congratulations to arrghmatey32 who got it first (and then to Hoop_Thrower and COF)
Haiti Civilization
Leader: Toussaint L’Ouverture
UA: Mother of Revolutions: Foreign Occupied and Puppeted Cities that follow your religion earn a turn of Resistance and grant +2 Faith and Culture on the capital. Earn a free Social Policy if you’re the first to start any Social Policy tree or Ideology.
(only once per turn, so they can't be chained)
UU: Mawon:(Maroon in Kreyól) Replacement for Musketman. When next to an enemy occupied city it earns a combat bonus. After defeating an enemy unit, the enemy has a chance of joining your side.
UU: Houngan: Replacement for Missionary. It does not suffer from attrition, and allows adjacent units to heal faster. May be expended on plantations to earn an amount of Culture
So in fact, the focus IS revolutionary more than just religious (I did say
one of the focuses is religious,but not all of it). Something to take into account is that Voodoo played an important part of the Haitian revolution, so that's why Houngans and religion are being represented. Ingame it'll probably be rather hard to make use of all attributes, however if you manage to do so well it can be hugely rewarding against big conquerors.
