very nice. I will definitely give Persia a try when it comes out.

The animations' quality is getting better and better.
Finally, Persia is here! And I'm glad they finally put some thought into the Immortal unit that emphasises the importance of archery in Persian armies, rather than the "they're called immortals so they must have had magical healing powers". 
The pairidaeza (if that's the spelling they're going for) is a neat idea too, and represents something that's been present throughout Persian history. Would love to see Abbas as a Safavid leader in future.
Guess this means we're stuck with Macedon though...

They're unique building looks like it will be very good. I wonder how big the bonuses from it will be as your progress through era's.

so a Cultural/ gold civ?
And, i'll be annoyed if Macedon is anything more than a scenario.

Currently at work and can't watch - what are the bonuses?

So Cyrus is good at declaring Surprise Wars and Tomyris, who literally killed Cyrus historically (supposedly), hates people who declares Surprise Wars. The meta is real
As for the abilities, Persia doesn't sound that strong to me but I'd like to see the specifics before jumping to conclusions. The Immortals combined with the bonus movement from declaring a Surprise War could be pretty strong for midgame attacks though

I'm curious how the Immortal's upgrade line works. The only other instance of a unit from one line replacing one from another is the Maryannu, but it is at the beginning, so nothing upgrades into it.
Warrior > Immortal > Crossbowman?

You paid for a game with 19 civs and 20 leaders. This is additional content which you have to pay more for, unless you bought the Deluxe Edition, which this is included in along with Poland, Australia, the Viking pack, and whatever is bundled with Persia.
Of course it will. Unless you got the Deluxe Edition, which includes the first four (Persia is part of #4) DLC packs, you only get the 18 original civs (19 leaders with Gorgo) and the Aztecs, exactly as advertised.
I'm a little confused as to why it replaces the Swordsman. Possibly would have worked better as a standalone unit (like the Samurai).

Unique Ability - Satrapies - Gain a free trade route upon researching the Political Philosophy Civic, as well as bonuses to internal trade routes.
Leader Ability - Fall of Babylon - Lessened diplomatic penalty when declaring surprise war; all units gain an additional movement point upon the declaration of a surprise war.
Unique Unit - Immortal - Swordsman replacement that has a ranged attack, but a strong combat defense.
Unique Improvement - Pairidaeza - Provides Culture, Gold, and Appeal. Also provides bonuses with adjacent districts and city centers. Gains even more bonus with the progression of civics and technologies.

Ow wait Fall of Babylon actually gives +2 movement points, not just +1. The Immortals in the video have 4 points rather than 2 after the war declaration. That's actually a pretty significant boost in that case
Just curious how long the boost lasts in that case. 10 turns? Like Australia's defensive production bonus? And does it scale with gamespeed?
