In Marbozir's video we can see him discover a new continent on a pangae map by moving the scout very early across the land. It doesn't appear to look much different so far.

 

[demidyad]

If you look at the Polygon vid around 22 min, the area southeast of Rio is the continent Pannotia, whilst north west of it is Antarctica, and north east is Zealandia, even though they are a contingious landmass. So the "continent" bonuses are confirmed to apply to Pangaeas.

It's hard to tell if this just happens to be the corner point of 3 large continents meeting or if continents cover a much smaller area than I imagined

So Sean Bean does indeed do the tech overviews! That's fantastic.

Lisbon: Your Naval Trade units cant be plundered.

Lisbon.

Huh.

Lisbon.

You know, when it was revealed that each City-State had its own unique bonus, I worried that meant that individual City-States would be considered irreplaceable. In Civ V there were a number of City-States that were upgraded to full-fledged civs in later expansions or DLC, and I was concerned that such an option might be off the table when extra thought would have to go into deciding what unique bonus would be appropriate for every specific City-State. So the early appearance of Hattusa, for example, meant that the Hittites would never be a Civ VI civ.

But if they're making Lisbon a City-State again? In a game whose whole aesthetic is designed around the Age of Exploration, and which includes Brazil as a civ in the initial release? I really can't see them locking Portugal into being a mere City-State for the entire development cycle of the game. Sooner or later, they will make a Portuguese civ, and the City-State of Lisbon will be renamed or replaced by a new City-State with a new bonus. I'll eat my own shoes if they announce Civ VII without ever having done that.

Small hope for the obscure Hittites, I know; they've only appeared in one game, and that was a long time ago. Still, the appearance of Lisbon gives me hope that, contrary to my early concerns, upgrading City-States to full civs is not off the table even with their unique bonuses.

Adding envoys to City States increases the vision radius around the CS.

 

[GenyaArikado]

Catherine's Agenda is called Black Queen and her ability is called Catherine's Flying Squadron (the espionage bonus is providing an additional level of Diplomatic Visibility to other civs)

What does Black Queen consist of? What is diplomatic visibility?

 

[MaximusPlatypus]

I feel bad for Arioch, I hope he has lots of coffee available. He'll be up all night and I can't wait to see it all nicely formatted on his site.

Fortunately, that's a new luxury resource!

Arioch has unlocked +20% Production for 30 turns

Not the civic quotes though. Sounds like they got one of the guys from accounting to do those.

 

[Big J Money]

Open Borders from the beginning of the game; civic required to kick people out of your borders.

 

[MaximusPlatypus]

I wonder if they would just replace Lisbon from the CS pool once they get Portugal released. It would be a damn shame to not have Portugal in the base game/ early expansions. And as mentioned, having Brazil in without Portugal is just... odd.

Oh, that's interesting.

Siege tower lets melee units ignore walls to immediately sack the city.

If you can't tell, it's like Christmas in August right now with some of these vids.

Is that a support unit?

From what I saw, walls seem to have their own health bar. You have to reduce the wall HP to 0 before doing signifigant damage to the garrison

 

[SupremacyKing2]
