[R&F] First Look: Georgia

[Amrunril]

I'm glad to finally see a civ that interacts with the new mechanics in more than a superficial way. I do think it's interesting that the golden age bonus is Georgia's rather than Tamar's. Does this mean we have yet to see the leader who interacts with golden ages (and dark ages?) in a unique way, or were the developers simply being imprecise when they mentioned this?

So meme become Civ
Honestly, I'm little disappointed with their UB and palace architecture. I don't feel Georgian vibe.

The appearance of Tamar reminds me a lot Tomyris

 

[Sagax]

Why she doesnt look like a European imo...

Because Georgians don’t looks like a typical European person at all.

 

[Uberfrog]

I was expecting Tamar to have a lighter skin tone. She reminds me of a Native American woman now.

It's odd, most representations of her make her quite pale.

 

[Metecury]

Looks more like Tamar of Pakistan but oh well, they can't get all the leader models right. At least now that we got the meme civ in some people will be happy and it will no longer pop up in every thread so there is that.

 

[Kheznik]

I knew Russia wasn't getting new architecture just 'cause. Looks pretty great.

Still no Toronto/Kumasi/Carthage/etc. Tease tease tease.

No YouTube comment toxicity spotted yet. First comment I saw was "aw she's adorable", a few jokes for various civs, a few honest requests for non-standard civs, and a joke about Georgia also being a US state.

I've met only a couple of Georgians in my life but they looked indeed European.

My Article welcoming Queen Tamar to Civilization VI and the story behind the meme (feel free to share it with any of your friends that like Civ)

I am not that excited about this civ. Mostly faith. Not sure what the impact of the golden age advantage will be though.

So the trailer was a hint. The Walls in the castle were a hint of Georgia coming. And interesting that they put them up against the Mongols just like in the trailer

 

[Siptah]

Theocracy in all games playing Tamar.

 

[Anno]

So it seems like she gets the Dark/Normal Age version of the dedication she takes in a Golden Age as well?

 

[Republic of San Montuoso]

Another civ to deal with envoy too! Needless to say that this will be a leader not appreciated by Pericles or Barbarossa

This is what I'm wondering. I don't think it's likely - we've only got three leaders left, and Tamar is the obvious choice, since she literally ruled during the Georgian Golden Age. But I'd hardly call a flat bonus a really "unique way" of interacting with the system. Maybe they had bigger plans for her that they rolled back on for balance reasons.

 

[Scaramanga]

Strange and wonderful. I'll admit I didn't think they could pull this off.

 

[Cerilis]

But Kandy is out! (Surprise, surprise!)

 

[luigilime]

wow the only real caucasian in the game isn't even caucasian in skin tone

 

[SammyKhalifa]

I've met only a couple of Georgians in my life but they looked indeed European.

She's not that much darker than me and I'm as White European as you can get. I think it's a nice looking model.

 

[roulev]

We can also see that new palace that was noted in the first screenshots. It seems she shares it with Russia.

Going by what happened with Korea, her in-game model mightn't be final.
