Betting and Speculation - The "Entirely Separate Hypercube" Civ!

He got a triple answer.

I do wonder if tomorrow's feature will show another hint for the purple civ.

Here's hoping. I can't remember how far from release we knew all of G&K's leaders. Hoping we'll know them all at least by the second week of June.

If I remember correctly we knew all nine of the G+K civs about two months before the release date. We're already past that with BNW. I'm expecting they will all be revealed before 15th June, as 2k will want to update the official site with information on the new civs, and they're unlikely to leave that to less than a month before the expansion is released.
 
The problem is that the 15th falls right into E3 week and is not the best time to release news. Civ is a successful niche title. Those kind of titles get lost in big news cycles. Either they release them next week, please so all the endless civ threads can stop, or after that in the magazine cycle. I'm guessing that is when they'll do it. It will give them a bunch of exclusives to hand out and be one last hype build. For GK that last cycle was practically on release, but for BNW they'll have a couple weeks.

It seems like BNW has more content to add to the game, as well. You'd think they would have given us the whole batch by now. They can focus on the gameplay aspects and get the civilizations out of the way.
 
I think this quote from the Civ page on Facebook is another bit of evidence that Venice is in as a major naval/mercantile civ:
What route will you take to this week’s Enter A Brave New World video? Wait until Friday or unlock it early and watch it Thursday? All we need is 1000 likes on this post. Learn to become a commercial and naval super power in this week’s installment.

Video is to be released Thursday, tomorrow.

I think the final civ to be revealed won't be until the last moment and it will likely be a Native American one.

Question is, which one is the "bomb" and "hypercube" civ?
 
Why? Naval superpower applies both to Portugal or Indonesia. (Mostly Portugal, actually. Indonesia is more trade-related.)

We're already at three thousand likes, though. Does anyone know when the last video released?

It clearly says "Learn to become a commercial and naval super power in this week’s installment." (emphasis mine)

It does fit Portugal to the T, but it also fits Venice just as well, and the emphasis part fits Morocco as well.

If I had to bet though, I would say they'll make one of these Featurettes per Civilization - they're too small to cover more - so Portugal, definitely.
Let us see Maria I. Let us see Maria I. Let us see Maria I. Let us see Maria I.:please:

Picture stills, but not any kind of scenes. Like what do she do when she declares war??
 
If you think there will be a hint in the featurette, I hope you handle crushing disappointment well.

Heh... I'd actually hope for her to have a maniacal laugh too! We are lacking maniacal laughs in Civ5!

I'm sorry, but I don't think Maria I could have as good of a maniacal laugh as Pacal's! :lol:
I bet someone is now going to use this in the Ash vs. Kame thread!

Her madness was first officially noticed in 1786 when Maria had to be carried back to her apartments in a state of delirium. The queen's mental state became increasingly worse. In May 1786 her husband died; Maria was devastated and forbade any court entertainments.
According to a contemporary[who?] the state festivities resembled religious ceremonies. Her state worsened after the death of her eldest son (and heir-apparent), aged 27, from smallpox, and of her confessor, in 1791.
In February 1792, she was deemed as mentally insane and was treated by Francis Willis, the same physician who attended George III of the United Kingdom. Willis wanted to take her to England, but that was refused by the Portuguese court. Maria's second son (eldest surviving) and new heir-apparent, John took over the government in her name, even though he only took the title of Prince Regent in 1799.[2]
When the Real Barraca de Ajuda burnt down in 1794, the court was forced to move to Queluz where the ill queen would lie in her apartments all day and visitors would complain of terrible screams that would echo throughout the palace.

Say... when you're at war with Portugal, you hear distant, echoed screams. You don't know if it's from inside the palace, if it's all in Maria's head or if... it's in your head.

:D

And some people are in denial. So what? It's only a game.
 
I need a graph that shows me how many uses the word "hypercube" got before and after this Q&A
