First Look: Scythia

[stealth_nsk]

Not my playstyle, but I'm ecstatic to see the Scythians and Tomyris in the game. The kurgans looks really nice, and starting next to her could be rather convenient--use her and Teddy as a shield against warmongers.

Even though diplomacy in preview build was in very early stages, there was one thing to notice. Once formal wars are available, AI almost always use them, even warmongers, so Tomyris will be not that much help.

I wonder what language she'll speak. Scythian is (very marginally) attested, but rather fragmentary to try to build dialogue from. Perhaps Ossetian or Sogdian?

It seems to be Ossetian with Russian accent (not that easy to record Ossetian speaker without being bilingual with Russian).

There's not nearly enough gameplay available to make this judgment.

For me one of the ideas for civ VI is simple, adding more females into the game.
