[LP] Civilization VI: Leader Pass - Discussion Thread

[King William I]

Yeah, Aspyr released a port of a game that would crash during a story cutscene and just... hoped no one would noticed. They're not fixing any bugs you report to them.

Islamic Iran is not a proud moment of my people's history quite unfortunate my last comment in 2021 was ingnored

That's a subjective opinion. There are many others who would say that, while it was not as great as Cyrus's or Darius's Persia, it still was a great part of Persia's history.

Quick question: Do DLC's release the very second it turns to the day they are to be released, or is there an official release time akin to the First Look Videos and Livestreams?

The latter. At least that's how they released the NFP DLCs an Updates.

Right. Thanks.

Hmmm...I assumed they were done with Civ VI. I wonder what this means in relation to Civ VII?

Anyway, looks pretty cool. Only thing I would have liked would have been another leader for the Mongols, Nubia and perhaps Georgia.

Could mean anything it. It could be a:

"Oh crap, we've left this game in a really bad state and now we're about to announce Civ VII... that's going to go down like a lead balloon. We don't really want to admit we left the game like this for a month and a half, so we'll put some leaders together (they take less effort that civs and other things), give them away to those who were committed to the game, and release a patch to fix things up. After 6 months when everyone is buttered up and happyz we'll announce Civ VII and have a good start!"

Or it could be a:
"Oh crap, Civ VI has been dropped for a year and a half, other competitors are trying to break into our niche, and Civ VII is barely even getting started on development. The fans will lose enthusiasm and Civ VII will struggle, since everyone will think the franchise is dead after that many years of nothing. Tell you what, slap a dozen or so leaders together, it won't take much, release them, and hopefully that will get us a reprieve long enough to get us to Civ VII".

There isn't really a way for is to know which it is. We'll find out when the pass finishes...there'll be an announcement of Civ VII...or we can expect a long wait.

Can someone tell me what time update will be released? I mean I have already 00:54 in Europe

As for me, I don't want to see Civ 7 right now. I want to see more leaders, patches and maybe last DLC with new mechanics. civilizations. We know that when Civ 7 will be announced and released we have to wait about 2 years because of Vanilla is empty.

I'm the opposite. I want Civ7 two years ago. Civ6 has outlived its potential for me--at best the new leaders will coax one or two more games out of me--and none of its competitors except Old World has been enjoyable to me--and OW is less a competitor and more its own thing.

Well Maya and Gran Colombia dropped at midnight ET. This might be the same considering it's the first pack in a pass as well

 

[queenpea]

I'm shook that they haven't released any specific information on what's releasing tomorrow (leader traits, etc.). The leader trailer videos that have been released so far are pretty pointless in my opinion.

 

[IvoryPavane]

I must say I do miss Sarah’s guiding hand in their marketing but tomorrow is nearly here

IMHO, Civ VI had a fork in it over a year ago: done to the point of Overcooked. Or, to quote Ernie Kovacs, Done Medium, because it was neither Rare nor Well-done.

New Leaders by themselves will, as said, pique no more than a couple more game attempts, but no more than that. There's just so much about Civ VI that was barely passable to begin with, and now that there are an increasing number of games that show what can be done (and should NOT be done!) it's past time for Civ VII.

I love how Firaxis just gave away this Leader Pass for free 1 day after my birthday lmao

I believe that, on the livestream, they said 1 pm EST?

Huh, so I guess we do have time for the First Look videos.

 

[The Kingmaker]

I’m all for anything that improves the game or sets a precedent for continued support and content for the fans.
