+1 trade route per great admiral would be absurdly strong. Though we are in the era of Yawngle… so maybe… ok I’m on board. Though even two free ones early doors is pretty powerful imo, just because earlyish bonuses are so much impactful. Agree it should just be the first great admiral though, 100%

Well at the very least give her Balmoral Castle as a wonder :)

Honestly, I’m surprised that there is an underground cabal of Koreans that are holding an emergency meeting as to the fate of the nation when Sejongs nice but boring ability was revealed. When I told my mum about Scotlands representation in Civ, she said “what’s Civ VI, honey?” That being...

Ludwig’s ability is bonkers and I love it, but I’m not convinced first part is especially potent. You get +2 per district but an unfinished wonder is essentially a dead tile so there’s a limit to how many you want in your city, also it disappears if someone completes the wonder. The all...

Sejong is easily my least favourite of these three. Theodora and Ludwig require you to build around their abilities whereas Sejong is just given it for doing something he was going to do anyway. A little dull, but hilariously identical to his twin Yongle

I hope so! That’s a pretty potent ability if so. Actually, they all seem pretty potent from first impressions

In honour of Yongle: the Return, my first game will be Korea as Seondeok

Not to necro this thread but I would love it if you didn’t generalise an entire region as ridiculous. Scotland is as full of wonderful and generous people as most other places in the world. And absolutely deserving of a second leader. *wink* Firaxis

Honestly, I’d be living for Theodora if there was just a bit of detail in her white top. A little bit of embroidery or detail would really elevate everything, it just looks a bit flat as a white surface. I’m more interested in her having a fun, flavourful and useful leader ability though

Oh I hadn’t thought about Earth Goddess on Cleo, really like your analysis here! Thanks :D I dislike Ramses because I think it’s super dull when you are given a bonus for something you were already going to do, I think it’s much more interesting to have a great ability that requires a different...

Im not sure what universe +1 culture and food on floodplains resources stacks up with % of culture on buildings and wonders… but it tracks with my prediction of busted, useful and thematic but meh. Im really hoping Theodora has a super fun ability but looking at Nzinga, Wu and Cleo, I’m not...

Agree with all of this. Given some of the errors that have come with the pass (spelling, grammar, bugs etc), and the leader abilities changing seemingly at the last minute (Kongo) - my guess is they are working on the abilities right up to the last minute. It almost feels like they are...

If we go by the Chinese rulers pack I’d guess Rameses ability to be complete busted, Kendiata to be situationally amazing and Cleo’s to be thematically interesting but ultimately unimpactful

The only worry there is how few cities can be on the coast. If she had a Jong type ability where she can carry a unit on her boats, she could have a warrior embark to take cities she bombards from afar, that would be neat :)

I’d love a novel spin on the naval game though! Something like her boats being able to found cities with some sort of balance or malus (or neither, we have Yongle I suppose), or a Civ wide version of the Jong where her boats can carry land units and she can start the colonisation game *early*...
