Updated the Features Thread with all the Gran Colombia information
Well, Simon seems to reuse Pedro's idle animations. I'm still fairly confident that these idle animations are just placeholders.
In terms of abilities, I'm somewhat underwhelmed by Gran Colombia. They seem very powerful, but also quite shallow and one-dimensional. As far as I can tell, they're 100% domination with nothing to really set them apart from anyone else. Not only that, but they're unique great people aren't really going to change the way they play all that much either.
Luckily, we have pokiehl's Civilizations Expanded mod to fix any oversights by Firaxis.
I would say that the Hacienda and the Ejército Patriota together make this more than just a conquest civ. They've got the potential to have better infrastructure and newer settlements much faster than other civs.
This. There's no way what we're looking at at this stage is not what we are getting on the 21st.Why are so many people talking about placeholders ? this packs ships in TWO DAYS ! These are NOT placeholders... And honestly, I'm fine with it
Supposing you had a big swath of these guys planted somewhere, you’d end up with 4 production/2 gold tiles; rising to 7 production/2gold at rapid deployment.Definitely a top tier civ, but also very boring and uninspired. They're going to be the Korea of domination civs.
... a better outback station,
Haciendas at Mercantilism according to Carl on TGM's stream.

I don't know anything about llaneros but when I heard about them having guitars I hoped they'd tie that in somehow. It would have been very cool and super unique. But bonus Great Works on top of everything else this Civ is getting might have been a bit much.Am I the only one who kind of wanted the Llaneros to create their own Great Work of Music though?
I wonder if they thought about the additional Great General design with Alexander?

Wasn't that kind of a given considering the names and specific abilities?also Commandante Generales do NOT replace Great Generals
