Yeah, seems high, considering they will be charging $30 for DLC with 2 leaders and 4 additional civs/wonders
The Civ selection screen with Songhai also indicates 45 to be the case. I expect a somewhat usual number of leaders, but a high number of civs.
Keep in mind that Octavian got into politics at a very young age and most of his depictions from the era were carefully doctored to make him seem more handsome and mighty. His last words also indicate that he had a tendency to get a little bit theatrical. The caricature has some basis in reality.
I'm starting to lean that way, as well, the more I think about it. That means 45 civ themes.
I would like to point out that Mundo Perdido was seen in the B Roll as a wonder. So, I sort of think that the Pyramid of the Sun is obsolete and Mundo Perdido is the Mesoamerican wonder, associated with the Maya as an Antiquity civ.
Yes, he did get involved young, but he was also trained as a statesman from birth in one of the most powerful Roman families. I think absent some reason to believe he actually acted this way, there's little reason to portray him so out of control and feeble given what he accomplished (starting at a very young age). And yes, his final words referred to the theatre, but a lot of older dying people, looking back, have a profound sense of humor and irony if they're comfortable with their legacy.
Pyramid of the Sun and Mundo Perdido are totally different cultures. It's like saying the Colosseum represents Greece.
I believe he's saying the Pyramid of the Sun may have been replaced by Mundo Perdido in a later build (we know the influencers played a much earlier build than what we were shown), not that they're the same.
My guess is that continuing to depict him as this stoic, hyper-masculine sigma male as he has usually been, tends to draw in the types of weirdos who throw a hissfit when you point out that the marble statues of ancient Greece and ancient Rome were originally painted with garish colour schemes not really seen anywhere today outside of drag shows. To which I would ask: why even feature Augustus in the first place? If that certain well has been so poisoned (which I'd argue it is), why even bother?
Correct. I'm saying Pyramid of the Sun is probably out of date and Teotihuacans aren't the mesoamerican antiquity culture.
Has it been said that only wonders from civilizations in the game are buildable? If so I missed that, but people keep acting like that's true.
I propose Shilhak-Inshushinak of Elam.
1 pre-order exclusive exploration civ and DLCs basically already giving 8 additional civs (instead of 6 or 9) makes me think the number might not be the same for every era (but should be around the same).I'm starting to lean that way, as well, the more I think about it. That means 45 civ themes.
I assumed she'd be back as soon as I saw dates as a resource.
Given the state of the emperorship within a few generations, it's fair to say Augustus's legacy died a few generations later.

I think they do unique wonders because having only world wonders everyone can build limits the amount of wonders you can include because there are only so many wonders you can include and it reduces competition for the wonders.
I don't believe there are any unique wonders. Anyone can build them but it's easier for Egypt to build the Pyramids because they can unlock them earlier in their own unique civics tree. I assume it's the same for all the others.
