On the topic of wonders, I feel like the Dome on the Rock & St Peters Basilica are pretty obvious religious wonders to add. St Peters Basilica was in Civ 4 if I'm not mistaken, but hasn't been seen since. And I can't recall the Dome on the Rock being in any Civ.

We'll miss you Dan! You've done an incredible job for many years, both behind the scenes and on the show. Your playful comments and your (sometimes quite terrible) dad-jokes gave the show an inviting, friendly feel. All the best for your future plans! I hope we'll still hear you occasionally as...

3. Australia - Outback Station [29+1=30] Food and production? Yes please. Makes useless tiles useful and can really make some awesome tiles when they're grouped together or near pastures. 7. Cree - Mekewap [32] 8. Dutch - Polder [19] 13. Germany - Hansa [18] 14. Greece - Acropolis [23-3=20] The...

To be honest, I personally would prefer the greatest powers to mostly take up the slots, with one or two wildcards thrown in too. I wouldn't find that boring at all though - these are the greatest powers in history! And they could be portrayed so differently each time, with different leaders and...

I just find it a bit lame when I'm in a game, exploring the map while playing as a giant of history like Rome, Egypt or China and then I bump into Australia... Or Brazil... Not exactly in the same league yknow? And I say that as an Aussie.

Looks like Qin going out (deservedly IMO) touched a nerve lol Tomyris - Killer of Cyrus [ELIMINATED] great ability. But not the #1 Trajan - Trajan's Column [22+1=23] worthy of the top spot

Montezuma - Gifts for the Tlatoani [7] Qin Shi Huang - The First Emperor [26-3=23] Good, but not best ability good. Overrated here IMO. 1 extra charge on builders is nice, but not as game changing as the remaining abilities. Tomyris - Killer of Cyrus [23] Trajan - Trajan's Column [24+1=25]...

An embedded version of the stream that I'm watching says we're just over 4 hours into a 5 hour and 1 minute video. So just under an hour to go?

1. Alexander - To The World's End [22] 3. Catherine - Catherine's Flying Squadron [7-3=4] Should've gone ages ago. Nowhere near a top 10 ability. 12. Gorgo - Thermopylae [6] 19. Montezuma - Gifts for the Tlatoani [28] 26. Qin Shi Huang - The First Emperor [26] 30. Shaka - Amabutho [19] 33...

1. Alexander - To The World's End [26] 3. Catherine - Catherine's Flying Squadron [15-3=12] Again spies just aren't that useful compared to other bonuses. 6. Cyrus - Fall of Babylon [14] 12. Gorgo - Thermopylae [19] 14. Hojo Tokimune - Divine Wind [1] 17. John Curtin - Citadel of Civilization...

1. Alexander- To The World's End. [22] 2. Amanitore - Kandake of Meroë. [ 3] 3. Catherine - Catherine's Flying Squadron. [20-3=17] - Not that impactful. Spies aren't very good anyway, and the extra diplo visibility isn't that important either. 4. Chandragupta - Arthashastra. [22] 6. Cyrus -...

The link is now dead. Looks like they wanted it announced in the direct but didn't reschedule the announcement on the website? Oops. Will be interesting to see it in action in the direct whenever they reschedule it

https://civilization.com/news/entries/civilization-vi-nintendo-switch-console-november-16-2018/ Sid Meier’s Civilization VI, winner of The Game Awards’ Best Strategy Game, DICE Awards’ Best Strategy Game and the latest entry in the prestigious Civilization franchise, is coming to Nintendo...

Big Ben - 2 Colosseum - 28 Forbidden City - 30 Pyramids - 23 (22+1) The extra charge does add up to a lot over the course of the game. And yes, there are policies that do the same, but this is constant for the entire game and means you can either use that policy slot for something else or get...

Big Ben - 30 (33-3) A strong wonder, but a little too high atm. Having to not spend money for an indeterminate amount of time to ensure the biggest boost is not ideal. You'd really want to be spending money on units/buildings/etc earlier to get the most benefit from them. Casa de Contratacion -...
