I just saw the first look video. While Catherine the Great isn't exactly a creative choice, it's nice to have her return.

I can't say that I expected to see Lafayette in Civilization VII (considering we're already getting Napoleon), but he certainly fits in with the new leader formula! He's one of the most interesting figures from the American and French revolutions, so I'm quite happy to see him included (although...

I like most of the leader choices so far. Tubman is one of the most famous black women and abolitionists in history and is very well-known in America... the hate against her inclusion is rather undeserved in my opinion, especially so since Civilization VII is already making a clear shift toward...

Here are some of my personal suggestions: Jeanne d'Arc - She is a national hero of France and has already been included in the civilization franchise in the past. She could act as a religiously-inclined leader with defensive abilities, which could be an interesting combination (sort of like...

I miss the Gathering Storm speculation days, back when the First Looks were first coming out. It was unironically the most fun I had online in a while.

Well the 2K website has crapped its pants so I don't think I have Julius right now. :P

Now I'm remembering something about babies and bathwater... hmmmmm... :shifty: Anyway, while I'm kind of frustrated by this screwed-up update, I have to admit that I find it quite amusing more than anything else. Not in a good way per say, but still amusing.

"Please, sit anywhere." I think they were referencing that story about Nzinga having someone get on their hands and knees and sitting on them :P

Caesar's model is a little over-the-top but I can appreciate its uniqueness.

Plus they're missing a civ loyalty icon on the city bar.

Remember how the Zulu capital used to be Zimbabwe in the earlier civ games? Those were some interesting times.

I dunno, I always liked the aesthetic of First Look videos, so I would be a little disappointed if there aren't any for the Leader Pass. EDIT: Especially the ones they made for Gathering Storm. I legitimately watch them for fun sometimes.

Just got a look at the preview images, and I gotta say that these leader designs are already looking way better than NFP. Quite excited about the packs now.

There are also two hidden videos in the New Frontier Pass First Looks page. Not sure if those were also there already. EDIT: Looks like the playlists were updated today. EDIT 2: Not sure why there are new videos in the New Frontier Pass First Looks playlist unless they are planning on putting...

Goodness, I would love to see Frederick II of the HRE in a civ game today. He's a really fascinating figure and one of my favorite medieval rulers.
