That's because Peter the Great in Civ VI actually looks like Peter the Great in real life. You should be prouder of Firaxis' art team for not messing up a leader model for once.I'm actually proud of Civfanatics for not endlessly critiquing a leader's character model for once.
Russian bonuses seems OK to me. The only thing that i really don't like about is UD (and, maybe cossacks). I am very disappointed that lavra don't provide any defence bonuses. Historically, lavra and monasteries in medieval Russia played a role of fortresses. The largest ones were famous for their massive walls, which can protect people from nearby settelements when the territory were raided by nomads or enemies. Moscow, for instance, was surrounded by the network of monasteries, and they played significant roles at city defence: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siege_of_Troitse-Sergiyeva_Lavra

That's exactly what my 5-year-old daughter said yesterday! But, alas, he has both of his hands.I was getting more a Captain Hook vibe... specially with these ships behind.
But Captain Hook wasn't born with a hook on his hand, right? It kinda makes sense now. Peter during late part of his reign gets really tired of all this ruling thing, secretly builds himself a ship, stages his own death due to disease and goes on a last adventure, a second tour to Europe so to speakThat's exactly what my 5-year-old daughter said yesterday!

Nobody mentions this because this is plain wrong. It provide science or culture based on yours and your neighbor's difference, not "what you need more". You want that sweet sweet science? Too bad, he is as backward as you, but here, have some culture! Also you gain that bonus only if you are trading with them, and if you are trading with them, you have less internal routs, therefore less food, production and roads between your cities - and tundra tiles bit low on food (and are you working them to gain your free faith, right?), so you have less population therefore less districts. And claims of being the best economy civ - Germany begs to differCommercial hubs and harbors provide extra culture or science depending on which one you need more

Why? Where did "twice as many trade routes" come from? Just because Russia is encouraged to build commhubs? Well duh, Rome is encouraged as well. Spain is encouraged. Britain is encouraged (and even better at it because of cheap and free harbor). Germany is encouraged (AND have additional district atop of that, AND have cheap industrial district).Since you may have twice as many trade routes as your neighbors you can afford to spend some of them on external trade I think.
Germany gets lots of internal production. But Russia get the most purchasing power.
Actually, Korea wouldn't be a bad choice for a unique campus.I suddenly understood why I dislike idea of Russia having religious, not science district. I was thinking about the civilization which may get unique Campus replacement... and had no idea. Korea had some great scientific discoveries, but I don't know about any known "concentrated science" areas for them, etc. Akademgorodoks, on the other hand, are pretty known and pretty unique. And if you think about religious district replacement, Lavra is far from being the most known as there are Wats and a lot more.

I've lived in Korea; Korean science is not a myth. The Koreans have been and are brilliant scientists. But do tell us, who is worthy of a science related bonus? Actually, let me guess: the Mongols.There is no need, like Arabia, to perpetuate the myth of Korea being a scientific powerhouse by granting them any bonuses to science.
As an absolute stretch, perhaps if Wang Sejong were the leader you might possibly consider giving it as a leader ability. Hopefully they'll go with a different leader and a more accurate and appropriate ability.

Sorry, but it's hard not to be a little flippant when you dismiss established historiography for pet theories. As for Hangul, it is pretty unique as a featural alphabet; the only other writing system like it is Tolkien's tengwar. Yes, the shapes are based on Chinese script as are all East Asian writing systems, but Hangul is quite unique as far as writing systems go. As has already been pointed out, no civilization has been a scientific superpower throughout its entire existence, but since a flourishing of the sciences is characteristic of periods of both Arabia and Korea, both are excellent choices as scientific civs. Still, Korea as a culture powerhouse could be an interesting twist.No need to be flippant and arrogant, thanks.
I lived in South Korea for over 6 years, myself and have studied Korean history extensively. Fascinating stuff.
With the 2,100 years of recorded Korean history, they for nearly all of it, have not been noted for their science. Perhaps for a brief flourish in the 15th century and the last few decades.
As for the Mongols, I certainly wouldn't classify them as a scientific civilization but they actively transmitted a fair amount of technology through their conquests to the Korean Peninsula which kickstarted the aforementioned 15th century brief scientific flourish. That includes the beloved Hangul script that was supposedly created out of thin air and has been claimed by Koreans to be the most scientifically accurate script in the world.
Anyway, I laid out solid reasoning for this six years ago when the last last iteration came out. Plus, this is off topic and is taking away from the well designed Russian Civ which definitely deserves the scientific focus.
