Another week, another faction revealed:
Élodie is a descendant of the nobility and the privileged elite of the old families of France, Spain and Italy. She is rich by her family properties in agriculture, food processing, textiles and pharmacies. This privilege has provided her with the best education in the old continent, which has caused that to be a character of a great cultural heritage.
She also controls the media and has used to elevate her personal popularity and to ensure its position as the mind behind the expeditions into space. What's more Élodie personally supervised the creation of 'The Canon', the definitive collection of Western art, with works, letters, and music ... All these elements replicated to become a scale of cultural collections in Most expeditions.
Of all the factions we have discussed so far, the Franco-Iberia is having a higher standard of living. Is a leader in green engineering and possesses astonishing level in urban design. They have founded the `green technology ', an ideology that enjoys extraordinary magnetism among the world's elite in terms of higher education of his lineage.
During the dissolution of the European Union, Franco-Iberia positioned itself as the protector and direct descendant of the best traditions of the Renaissance and the Enlightenment, and continues to support the culture of the old continent ... even exporting it.
Geographically territories includes mainly the former France and Spain , plus parts of Italy, and extends along the Mediterranean to include parts of North Africa.
It is said of them among his critics that usually have become `the Romans', in reference to its similarities to the Roman Empire.
This civilization is better positioned to take advantage in terms of culture and virtue than any other. Right now they get free technology every 10 Virtues , which gives them a wide range of flexibility in the sense that you do not sacrifice scientific progress if you give priority to culture in your cities. In addition to its depth and its bonuses to Virtues, Franco-Iberia is able to respond to changing situations in the game more comfortable than many of the other factions form.
The great weakness of Franco-Iberia is that the faction has to focus on the culture to capitalize on their skills. Also if the choose to set yourselves also will weak in any area where you stand not focusing Virtues, so you can fall to the production or military might of other factions.
This means that getting the win with this faction requires a solid plan and a long-term strategy, and not getting distracted Virtues investing short-term objectives.

What do you guys think? Personally, the ten free virtues makes them sound a little like Poland from Civ V in my book and she sounds like the new Deirdre Skye. Now three guesses what's coming Friday and the first two don't count.
edit: Correction, it is one free tech for every ten virtues adopted. Thank you Benjamin28.

Our focus on France and Spain gave us a good basis for each of these objectives; rich cultural tradition and the history of social democracy in these two countries are indeed found to anchor this new entity a duo. In addition, we liked their location in the west of Europe, the Mediterranean. It allowed us to mix the North African influences to create multicultural identity that we offer with each faction. This new entity is an amalgam of people, lifestyles perfect base for a liberal democracy centered on domestic development, social welfare and cultural success. Of all factions of the game, this is probably where it is better to live!
In fact, it is possible to use the Franco-Iberian cultural power to invest heavily in Virtues. That would be like having a small military force in digital terms, but each of your units would be particularly strong. One can lead to another.
We have not really thought about it, but we wanted Elodie is a very sophisticated woman of great wisdom, who has dedicated his life to preserving the art and culture. She lived a long time, she knows what she likes and has very little time and respect for people ignorant or uninvolved.
We removed single units to let people build a custom early in the game the Franco-Iberian civilization is thus particularly flexible faction: they can use their cultural progression to generate technological advances. This implies other possibilities for the construction of settlements, even if you have to be disciplined in your choice of Virtues, not just select those that would provide a short-term gain. There are civilizations like the Franco-Iberian civilization in Civilization 5, and they are among the best in the game, their ability to achieve several types of victories. We hope that it will work the same way
