Luckily, I manually rename cities constantly in Civ, so it won't be a problem. I love to play as Russia with all the original Russian city states as my initial cities: Moskva, Tver', Vladimir, Ryazan, Nizhni Novgorod, Suzdal, Great Novgorod etc. Then I can add the Totally Obscure like Mozhaisk, Gzhatsk, Ekaterinburg, or Tsaritsyn (but only if I conquer it from the Mongols) . . .

They presented this feature with a dude that had died blue hair, so I don't think it would be limited.

...then Byzantines in the medieval era. I'd always imagine the Targaryens as somewhat like the Byzantines in that they're a relic/continuation of a once-great empire
With having enough fire as a weapon to burn fleets.

I'm waiting to see all of them all of them to decide, cuz i feel Dany is gonna drop the orientalist fantasy hard in the 3rd act (in the books i mean, in the show she never really had it). Had the byzantines gotten fire dromons i wouldn't have hesitated though
Maybe, or hopefully, you'll get Greek fire dromons with Theodora in Civ 6.

Why has there been no reveal this week?

The Holiday on Monday I guess (Pentecoast Monday). Means today is only the Tuesday of the week, so maybe they run a bit late. I expect the civ reveal this evening.

There's a lot you can do remotely, but sooner or later developers, graphic artists and coders have got to get together, and Amplitude's offices, which I gather are in the middle of Paris, are therefore extremely susceptible to being cut off from the rest of the world by shutdowns of streets, subways, buses, etc by street protests.
There's something to be said these days for putting a corporate HQ in Steilacoom, Washington - population less than 5000 . . .

Oh, that's too bad.
Nah, it can wait.
Of course it can wait. That doesn't mean it's not a shame that Amplitude's business has been affected.
I don't live in a large city at all, but living in a place with a population less than 5,000 would be lovely. When I was younger, I wanted to live in a big city; as an adult, I want to raise my kids as far from the city as I can get them.

I grew up in a college town: population 25,000, but a major university, so I thought that was perfect: surrounded by the Appalachian Mountains, rural all over, but the advantages of Big City library, concerts, museum in what was essentially a small town.
Steilacoom, where I lived for 20 years, is the southernmost suburb of Tacoma, but retains a very small town feel and has one of the largest parks in the state between it and the more built-up parts of Metro Puget Sound, and the wooded maneuver area of Fort Lewis blocking off development on the other side. Nearly perfect. I have less use for concerts and such now that I'm past my allotted three score and ten, and most of the library work (research) I can now do on line, so the 'pure' small town is preferable. Also, there's a lot to be said for the climate of Puget Sound region, which is about as temperate and mild as you can get, but has rain forest, mountains, desert, prairie, and Old Growth forest all within an hour's drive . . .
Sounds a lot like what the city I live in now used to be like: small town feel, big city amenities. Unfortunately, it's grown a lot over the past decade and shows no sign of slowing. I've vacationed several times in the Northwest and would love to live out there, but family ties are likely to keep me in the East. I'm at least hoping to move to a cooler climate and less flat topography somewhere further north within the next few years--somewhere where I can get outside more, have a more active lifestyle, get in nature more.

Last Off-Topic Post, honest.
Having lived most of my life in and around mountains - Blue Ridge, White Mountains, Appalachians, Taunus and Spessarts in Germany, Cascades here, I wouldn't live anywhere else. If you have to stay east and sort of south, try western North Carolina, southwestern Virginia or eastern Tennessee/Kentucky: all lovely country.
