DLC 05 anticipation thread

[God of Kings]

So now we are speculating the new civ is a tribe of colorful monkeys from Borneo?

As long as they have cool uniques I guess. Maybe bananas are an amenity?

Can't wait to see the agenda.

Not just bananas, but durian as well!

 

[agonistes]

Not just bananas, but durian as well!

I see those as a ranged weapon for a uu.

 

[Cerilis]

It could perhaps be related to the proboscis monkey:



It helps that it's native to Borneo.

So its something like the Civet-cat?

 

[Katakanja]

To think that people just thought that was a little decoration at the bottom of the leader chart! My god, the truth has been staring us in the eyes all along, they're going to add non-human leaders!

 

[WillowBrook]

Haha! Or they're negative amenity for any civ except Indonesia. (And perhaps any other southeast Asian civ that gets added later.)

 

[Abraxis]

This is true, or perhaps the African elephant:

Am I to understand this is now a thread for posting pictures of cute elephants?

Spoiler :

 

[Manifold]

Absolutely clear

The Hints are:
1. Proboscis
2. Hint for DLC 006 (not this thread about DLC 005 because it is about Majapahit/Indonesia...)

Oh, but what if it's relevant to DLC 06 and not DLC 05?

-------------------
Conclusions:
1. Egypt (Old Kingdom)
2. Obelix broke the nose of the Great Sphinx of Giza

Spoiler :

3. The Sphinx represents Pharaoh Khafre the son of Khufu

Spoiler :

-> ->-> -> Pharaoh Khafre

There's only one Elephant unit in the game: Ashoka for alternate leader confirmed!

My guess is it will be a double pack with Aksum titled Ancient 'A' Authorities of Africa and Asia

 

[Craig_Sutter]

Elephantine was an ancient Egyptian city... in reference to proboscis_fx

At this point in time this topic just serves to entertain Firaxis' employees at lunch time : D

Well since we know they are reading all this why don't we say everything we want in the game and everything that has to be fixed?

 

[Katakanja]

Well since we know they are reading all this why don't we say everything we want in the game and everything that has to be fixed?

So, basically everything we've already been saying then?

I doubt we can just chuck in comments about what we want so they can see, I don't think that would work *cough* The Parkes Observatory *cough*

1) everybody has ideas. The devs are in a unique position to be able to finally implement their own, and they worked hard in the industry to get to that point.

2) there are threads everywhere about what needs fixing. No need to clutter this one.

What could those store tags mean? Is it getting close?

Are their any African or SEA leaders famous for having a huge nose? My Google-fu only managed to find European ones like King Leopold of Belgium.

From the Philippines
