[LP] Civilization VI: Leader Pass - Discussion Thread

[Hellenism Salesman]

The textures (skin textures especially) look rather matte in the flat lighting.

I think if he squared his shoulders, he wouldn't look so out of proportion

Speaking of his shoulders, what is happening with his epaulettes? Can we please get some tassels over here?

Another fun note: comparing the gold tones on Ludwig to the very, very yellow gold tones on Theodora...it really does my head in.

Rulers of China was the peak of leader pass models, and we are downhill now

 

[Kupe Navigator]

honestly most Koreans are satisfied with Sejong so I wouldn't say downhill for me.

 

[Hellenism Salesman]

There are leaders other than Sejong.

I’m with @Venceslau Pietro Pietra, unfortunately. The pass started pretty strong in model quality, but Rulers of Sahara broke the trend.

I’m with you on Sejong looking nice, though. He’s the nicest looking out of the three, but that’s mostly for him meeting previous standards while others falter.

In any case, what matters most is the gameplay and (lack of or not) synergy between the abilities of the civ and leader.

Absolutely.

Which is what makes the waiting game feel so slow…

Yeah, the PR after Sarah left has been a disgrace.

As someone without much artistic ability, I really haven't had an issue the models. They're all way better than I would make, I really like getting them, even if they're not perfect. But if the abilities are lackluster as well, then yeah, that's less good.

But if you give me some fun abilities, then they could be a stick figure as the character and I'd still be happy.

Total opposite for me. I can't do much about the art because, like you, I am no artist. But changing the abilities with mods is easy once you get the hang of it. So I'd rather have good art then make up my own abilities if they're bad.

 

[Kupe Navigator]

Yeah, the PR after Sarah left has been a disgrace.

Person who is in charge of PR needs to be fired after this.

What a bunch of Rubbish.

Regarding DLCs in the Steam database:

Bart is Great Builders, as expected.

The previously unnamed one is now called Julius Caesar.

So, Test LPJ that we thought was Julius Caesar isn't and is now a complete mystery.

 

[fy00sh]

LPJ= Leaders Pass Joke, coming out on April 1st, adding a new nuclear persona for gandhi or something similar
thats my final guess. i also guess that that final guess is wrong

 

[Laurana Kanan]

This seems like a pretty important thing in the patch notes for the Great Builders update that's not getting much attention. Especially for those of us that routinely access these files for various reasons.

• Automatically migrate options, settings, logs, etc., location to AppData directory

The three debug files in the Cache folder; all the logs including Database, Modding, & Lua; AppOptions; UserOptions; and mods.sqlite files are all now located here - "C:\Users\*username*\AppData\Local\Firaxis Games\Sid Meier's Civilization VI".

It looks like the local Mods folder, Saves folder, & Hall of Fame file are all still located in the Documents folder - "..\Documents\My Games\Sid Meier's Civilization VI".

That explains why all my mods turned back on by themselves

Not only that, but all my saved mod loadouts got wiped as well.

 

[QueenGloriana]

The text for my loading screens randomly appears and dissapears as well (but i haven't checked disabling ALL mods yet)

 

[Starina]

It's time to put on your tin foil hat again and continue the farce with theories:
What if after 2 weeks we will see Ireland as new civilization and Elizabeth I as alternative leader?
Potato would be happy
Well, or this might be a good idea for 7

 

[Urlance Woolsbane]

I'll go out on a limb and speculate that the J in LPJ is James VI of Scotland/James I of England, as a freebie ala Julius Caesar. This would explain why Rulers of England only has one new leader, and why a Norwegian who unsuccessfully pressed his claim on the English throne was included.

 

[Melkus]

But will he get a basketball court instead of the golf course?
