Silence of the Thunder King (...)

You didn't even bother justifying that one.

STK

Sarah Terrorises Kittens. (Sarah Darney discovers the explosive kittens cardgame and goes nuts with number of explosive kittens in the stack. No dismantle cards allowed and extra nopes)
Sean Tries (not to get) Killed. (Infinite development time announcement for civ 6. Future civ games put on hold indefinitely)
Serious Ten Kommandments. (Religion mod for serious conservative people. Killing units is forbidden. So is drinking whine for Catherine. There can be only one religion)
Slow Turn keys. (the first players unlucking all acievements get the game extended with extra era`s till 2300)

I went through the wikipedia list of rulers for Babylon, Byzantines, Maya, and Portugal. None have STK for initials.

A quick search of Emperors of Ethiopia/Kings of Aksum didn't help either

 

[RohirrimElf]

Maybe a search through important works of writing (STK)?

 

[Leucarum]

Apparantley STK is the stock code for the
Columbia Seligman Premium Technology Growth Fund Inc

Firaxis is trying to rig the stock market using our Civ achievements!

 

[SeelingCat]

It's clearly a reference to the Stroke-ornamented ware culture. I for one am extremely interested to see their choice of leader...

I've already checked Edgar Alan Poe's works. Nothing.

Come on guys. STK. It's obviously meant to say steak, and we are getting an independent Texas civ (we already have Australia and Japan).

Furthermore, it's Steak #1, which is simply Firaxis continuing to hold an American, we're the best world view.

Not much of a mystery.

I think you're on to something here (or maybe just 'on something')

But the great Stake Civ would be Argentina: Only Brazil and Australia export more beef/steak, and they are both already in the game.

Or with a slight change in spelling, the Stake Civ would be Wallachia with their very own Undead King with a stake through his heart.

Quantity is not quality!

 

[tedhebert]

Or maybe it's to announce a partnership with Disney ! STarK industries galore ;-)

 

[Lord Lakely]

I'm not even going other coming up with an explanation for the acronym. There are thousands of possibilities, but I'd say it's probably a proper name (like Vesuvius was).

 

[timmychompchomp]

What if, and I only suggest this based on some of the questions in the survey, STK is an abbreviation for something like "Season Ticket." A subscriber based full expansion or smaller content package. Could that also explain "stat" which would work globally with win percentages and seasonal achievements? Then again the section of steamdb where I was able to locate the new achievements is titled "Stats", so it could be as simple as that.

I may be way off, but a long while back there was mention of 2K and some restructuring of the revenue model. I don't think this is the case in this instance, but the thought just crossed my mind.

Most don't make any sense though "Science and Technology Knowledge" sounds semi plausible.
Otherwise I thought it was a Saint but only found a few that didn't made any sense either like St. Kitts, St. Konrad or St. Klaas (Santa Claus in english ) but maybe I missed someone like a famous Byzantine saint (though Saint Claus (Nicolas) was from there actually, he was the bishop of Myra) or some name starting with S like Sam T.K. or Steven K.
Maybe STar K..... something something.
But maybe it is nothing of the above and is just a standard test key lol.

STK - Spoiled Trustfund Kids

My god, I think you've done it! Civ 6 - Spoiled Trustfund Kids, a DLC that costs $800,000!

 

[bite]

See I go away for a couple of days and we get news, let it be known

 

[Datgingah]

Possibly Scenario Tech Kit? A mod based kit for adding in non-default rules that would occur in mods?

Edit: St could also potentially work for a "Saint" either the Mountain/Volcano type or a prominent religious figure who might lead a civ. Could potentially work for a European or more specifically Byzantine civ.

Edit2: If we're going off the Saint K. idea, its not uncommon for Constantine to be spelled with a K? Saint Konstantin perhaps

 

[oakdragon]

Sounds like "streak", to me.

Somehow, I feel like "Season Ticket" might be the most reasonable explanation I've heard thus far. My only other thought is that it could be an abbreviation for a single code name, like "VSV" or whatever was for "Vesuvius."
