Missed half of the sentence, but I think there was something about pillaging districts giving you the related yield (pillaging the science district gives you some science).

Ed is carefully avoiding confirming Gandhi in the game although the interviewer keeps mentioning him.

Hanging Gardens is 15% growth in all cities must be built next to a river

 

[j51]

Probably no Cho-ku-nu: China has a normal crossbowman.

 

[Stilgar08]

He talks about TSL Earth maps again when asked about the civs... Promising...

Yeah! Looks like wonders will be powerful!

He implied they couldn't balance it right from vanilla, though...

 

[Gali]

Stonehenge gives you a free Great Prophet which still found religions and a religion can be founded in it. Must be on flat land next to stone

 

[SMcM]

I doubt the Aztecs are getting cut. Plus, hasn't Montezuma been mentioned in some interviews? I hope the Inca are the TSL South America civ. I'm guessing we'll have:

USA, Aztecs, Inca, England, France, Germany, Rome, Greece, Russia, Mongolia, China, Japan, India, Persia, Arabia (or Ottomans), and Egypt from before. For the new civs, I bet we finally get Kongo, or Mali (They weren't in V. Does that count as new?) and then another Asian nation: either from SE Asia (Vietnam, or Burma? Also, the Khmer weren't in V), or Sumer (who weren't in V; could be the mystery character at the start).

Yup, Montezuma is in.

What it does however is promise of more attention to the typically underrepresented nations, remember DLC will still be a thing.

It's very nice because I think this is the first time that Civ team is kind of looking at us with more than just a glance.

Mont St Michel and Mahabodhi temple are in (at 2:45:51)

Found a vid on youtube. Good quality and pauseable, but ot looks like a screengrab and the actual gameplay is in a window. The tooltips are readable if you're close enough to your screen.

'Give me some lady leaders'

Really? If she has any knowledge of civ 5, she'd know that Firaxis already has female leaders covered. Hell, we've already axed Ramsses for Cleopatra. Civ 5 should not have had either Wu Zetain or Dido anyway. Why should it even matter what gender characters are? I thought we were progressive these days or something. Actively avoiding male leaders even if they are most suitable is just discrimination.

Considering the awfully simplistic leaderscenes, it seems to me only reasonable that there should be multiple leaders per civ. I suppose this way, we could easily deal with gender imbalance; we could have both sensible leader choices and also leaders who would prevent gender imbalance, e.g. Hannibal and Dido and Qin Shi Huang and Wu Zetain. We could compensate for civs such as the Mongols not having viable female leaders by not including male leaders for other nations, like Russia or The Iceni.

Shrine gives 2 faith and 1 Gr. Prophet point. So, it looks like accumulating faith alone won't generate a GP?

We're so progressive, we might as well go with the old ways of doing it. Real progress is looking at alternative options and going, "Nope!"

Great Library. Must be built on flat land adjacent to a campus district with a library.

2 science 1 Great Science point, 2 slots for great works of writing. Receive boosts to all ancient and classical era technologies.


She knew Civ 5 had female leaders she called Dido and another her girls. Really just drop it. Having seen another couple streams on that site the team we got was the best option by far for civ.

What's wrong with Dido and Wu Zetian though? Especially Wu has such an interesting background story, I love her. I loved her design in Civ V even though it looked a little clowny.

Her UA, UU and UB were all perfect, a very nice, balanced, thematic composition in my opinion. Playing as China feels very "whole", from the colour-scheme to the little yet noticeable bonuses.

I think China was one of the most balanced and well-designed Civs in Civ V. I don't really care how historically relevant a leader is, after all they're just characters for a really advanced board game.

We should be happy they're not going back to the traditional silver racing car - cannon - boot lineup

Jesus dude chill out.

If you ever write anything on the internet people tell you to chill out. Problem is tone is hard to pick up when reading internet comments. Was just giving an opinion. I suppose the part were a called it 'discrimination' may have sounded a little too passionate for something so trivial, but whatever. Anyway, if after a busy day I want to go off on offensive Internet rants, who are you to tell me what to do

Here's another gameplay video, with slightly more informed casters than the other one

I think you are reading too much into things. I think the interviewer just has a preference for playing a female leader because she is a female. Heck, she refers to the female leaders in civ5 as "her girls". So I think it is just a case of her being a female and relating to the female leaders in the game more.
