Looks like when making or receiving proposals, including first meetings.And when do we see those screens of the leader facing the player?

Ah, the bit I caught of the stream made it look like first meetings had the leaders facing each other.Looks like when making or receiving proposals, including first meetings.
Oh, sorry, I read your post backwards. Yeah, it looks like the only time the leader will face the player is in the actually screen with the list of proposals.Ah, the bit I caught of the stream made it look like first meetings had the leaders facing each other.
If I had to guess, I don’t think the biases will compound but I do think the game would try to find you a spot that satisfies both biases.Speaking of which, how to starting biases work? Do the biases compound, so that if both leader and civ have Navigable Rivers as a starting bias, they are much much more likely to get a good river spot? If you have a leader with a very different set of biases than their civ, will it try to find you a spot that satisfies all the biases, or will it simply pick one or two to satisfy and each restart will produce a dramatically different start?
These do feel like they have less of a historical focus and more of a mechanical focus.Nice to hear the familiar First Look narrator voice. But why isn't there more about Hatshepsut the historical leader in the video? Past First Looks had more of that.
It's also a nice historical nod (I notice Egypt rarely starts in the Desert in Civ6), and it segues into Songhai's abilities, too (and perhaps Abbasids').Hatshepsut and Egypt have identical start biases. I suppose that’s to emphasize their synergy more than anything else; the Desert bias doesn’t benefit Hatshepsut at all otherwise.
Oh that’s a good point about potential synergy with later choices.It's also a nice historical nod (I notice Egypt rarely starts in the Desert in Civ6), and it segues into Songhai's abilities, too (and perhaps Abbasids').

Past First Looks were both for civ AND leader... This time it's leader only... I guess we'll also get first looks for civs ?These do feel like they have less of a historical focus and more of a mechanical focus.

A choice that I can't fully comprehend. Maybe I'm an outlier (as I don't care much for having leaders at all), but I'm much more interested in the civs than the leader. And given the details they are putting into each civ (graphics, uniques, bonuses, civics, wonders, traditions), it seems that they would have to show more for the civs as well. In contrast, leaders don't offer that much (except if they would have unique promotions, but I guess they would have showed them if it was the case).FXS_Sar said we'd get civ info in the blog posts with First Looks only for leaders.
This choice reflects the change in focus. Player identities are now fully in the leaders, so they get the fancy marketing. Civs are just the trappings that the leaders are adorned with.A choice that I can't fully comprehend.

I'll admit the player = leader thing trips me up a bit too. In previous games, my mental narrative is that I'm the avatar of Rome, not Trajan or Julius. So, it's taking a bit of effort for me to adjust my mindset.
