ITS BYZANTIUM AND GAUL!!!

 

[Republic of San Montuoso]

So, it's official: BYZANTIUM AND GAULS!

 

[Thenewwwguy]

I’ll take Gaul, that’s hype

If they're going to do moveable cities, there needs to be limits.

At some point a group of people reach a certain threshold where they have inertia of place. It becomes more feasible to divert resources to the city rather than have the city move to the resources.

So maybe cities can't move after they reach population level 10.

this would make snese

Here's my guesses for the new civ's leaders:

Byzantium: Theodora

Gaul: Vercingetorix

 

[Alexander's Hetaroi]

So is Scotland forgiven now?
Also Dromons in the video!!!!

I forgive Scotland, we got our celtic celts now.

Do we think they’ll pick Brennus or Vercingatorix for Gauls? Vercingatorix is popular due to the Sukritact mod but Brennus historically is the Gaulish leader they’ve picked for the game (in civs 2,3 and 4)

For Byzantium, I’m personally hoping the leader is either Irene, Alexios or Basil II.

Obviously I would’ve hoped for this to be our middle east pack but europe is fine, and a proper celtic civ makes it all worth it.

November presents some issues though. This pack tells us no more Portugal, but that means November will have to be the Middle East, Native Americans or Berbers. And one of those three will miss out completely.

^ quickly which Byzantine emperors have fluffy white beards? Basil II?

Gaul's ability gives culture and culture bomb effects to mines.

theoretically any emperor can have a fluffy white beard if they ruled for long enough. How old were Alexios and Basil when they were at their peaks of rule?

Gaul looks fun to play

They did say militaristic Byzantium, and who better than the Bulgar Slayer. He can also come with Varangian Guards as his UU.

Sooo the Gauls led by a leader with red hair, Vercingetorix confirmed?

 

[Xandinho]

Gaul is a surprise to me, I'm excited. If this is the only European pack, then perhaps not Portugal in NFP, this increases the chances of a second round of passes.

i don’t think you can say vercingatorix is the only leader with red hair lol. Brennus could be red haired

To be fair, they specified that it was conquest through military or religion, and they could also be referring to Byzantium’s civ ability, with Alexios having a religion/trade ability.

Basil makes sense though, with a war-like ability giving him access to the Varangian guard with a Dromon Civ UU

Georgia is buffed up to at least a C tier civ for that extra wildcard policy, If its one wildcard policy slot per Golden Age it shoots from F to S tier cause that's insane

Another dlc focusing around colonization stuffs might be kinda cool with Portugal Civ and alt leaders for Netherlands and/or Spain

isn’t that only in the context of the new game mode, and isn’t it the capability to have dark age policies in all ages, not getting extra wildcards?

Aduatuca is the Gallic Capital:

I'd say: Ambiorix confirmed.

ima be honest, please, no more europe

Haha sorry for that, Gallic history isn't really my strongest forte lol.
Though the mod for Vercingetorix has red hair, so that's why I said that...

this makes me happy since it means @sukritact ‘s vercingatorix mod isn’t killed.

Also it kinda covers belgium and satisfies both the belgae and gaul fans

That the fact that you can have golden and dark age policy slots in the same era also makes it very good. Some of the golden age policies look pretty good.
