Oh fully, I haven’t gone near Steam or Reddit in a long time haha. Honestly, the Civ forums are one of the few places I feel safe to post without being dogpiled on, but the argument is nothing new. They’ve just been given new tools and discourse to attach their anger to. I’ll never, ever...

Is this satire? This is a game about building and exploring civilisations across the entire world? What quotas do you think they are filling? Also, there isn’t a 50:50 gender split in any civ game, and I don’t imagine this will buck that trend

As someone who enjoys cognitive dissonance, I’m looking forward to the cross pollination of “I’m bored of (female leader) I want a less obvious choice” and “I can’t believe they went in this new direction with (female leader), it should have been the obvious choice” (I don’t actually enjoy it...

+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...
