Gamescom livestream (Sunday 21/08/2016)

[JimmyBanks]

Does anyone know if there is livestream today? I can't find a schedule for the 2K page but I think I remember seeing Writing Bull say he was doing a Livestream today sometime.

Anyone got a clue?

I think there is a live stream at 1400-1500 CET. Not sure if it's in English or German.

This is what is posted on the Sid Meier’s Civilization facebook page:

"We'll be streaming Civilization VI once more today, live from gamescom and playing as Japan!
Join us at 8pm CEST/11am PDT."

This is a misleading title for a thread, just saying.

Are you sure it's not from yesterday?

 

[TheMarshmallowBear]

Yeah, pretty sure that's from two days ago, it also kept popping up as recent on my news feed.

 

[SirViss]

It's from 18h ago. I think it is meant for today, bu I always get confused with the time zones.

In the 2K Twitch, I see it will be today at 1:30 or 2:30PM CET/CEST (so now or in 1 hour). There is some confusion with time zones.

EDIT : It just begins now !

Important question. Have you guys noticed from these gameplay videos if the sun shines from a certain point ,say equator, or is it simply from the northernmost point on the map (from outside the map)? Seems to me like the latter.

I didn't see the video from the beginning. Did he name a reason why he settled directly on the coast (in the middle of desert tiles)? Is there an advantage from that, that we don't know of? I have the discussion from the other thread in mind. Maybe he has news for us there. He is not playing for the first time, so I doubt its just a plain mistake.

 

[Mustakrakish]

Actually the moon shines from south of him... Hmmm...

Is Jerusalem building the Orcale? Am I seeing right?

City state building a wonder? Interesting.

City state building a wonder? Interesting.

It will certainly be! But I need confirmation, it might be just a holy district :/

Doesn't it have fresh water from Oasis? A solid choice in this case - eureka, building ships without harbor, etc.

The sun is moving from west to east O_o

I haven't seen the video, but maybe the player just rotated the camera by 180 degrees? With a rotating camera "up" isn't always north.

 

[ProMeTheus112]

it's a different earth with inverted rotation

 

[Mustakrakish]

The sun moves from east to west and shines from the north (seems like way outside the map), the moon moves east to west and shines from the south. No map rotation was used in the video.

EDIT: That's just weird. They should just make "the sun" shine from some point around equator, moving east west and be done with it. Would be fun determining your position on the globe based on how shadows are cast.
