I'm reminded of how little interest I had in G&K's civs. Hopefully BNW will provide a better selection.
So far two interest me.
Information Drought?
- Thread starter Eagle Pursuit
- Start date

bazooka men probably replace helicopters in the anti-mounted upgrade path. Helicopters probably now form their own path. Hopefully helis will upgrade to Tilt Rotors?
I think we'll get the new civs first, because all the art work should be finished by now. I expect details information about the trees only shortly before launch, as there is obviously a lot of room there for balance tweaks, and they wouldn't want to show of anything that gets changed before launch.
Hmm - yeah - actually I agree. With G&K I was really more interested in the mechanics being added. I anticipated knowing the new Civs, but once I knew them, they weren't inherently interesting... and one in particular ended up annoying me (The Celts being a sort of combined Celts and Scottish civ in one).
Also - what are the two that stand out for you?
For me, I'm looking forward to trying out Portugal and Assyria.

The most exciting Civ announced so far? France.
That said, Portugal sound like fun, although I'm a little worried they might be overpowered. I'll be excited about Indonesia and Morocco if/when they are announced.

Brazil for me (until I hear more announcements.) An infantry improvement and Carnival sound amazing to go along with the new additions added to BNW.
The longer it has been without information the more often I am checking here. It has turned from ...just one more turn, into ...just one more refresh. I'm hoping for some information next week but from Giskler it looks last time we had gaps of 22, 28 and 14 between civs and this time we have had 8, 20 and 15+.

When information is being released, CivFanatics had more than one new post per second!
I dont get the Assyria love ... design choice wise I think they are a little dull - they feel like the offensive side of the Babylonian coin - science based civs from the same region one with strong walls one with siege engines. I wish they had have gone a slightly different way design wise with them as they just seem too similar to Babylon as it is. I dont hate the concept of them I just dislike the implementation because they just seem too similar to something already in.
Portugal looks interesting, Poland might be a little overpowered with the SP thing. Brazil looks okay, Zulu is Zulu - you either love them or hate them.

God, this drought is killing me. I was hoping, as a Monday, we'd find new info. But then it occurred to me that I don't even know if Monday is the day new info is typically released.
I have no idea what they'll talk about in detail, but I expect new Social Policies and new Ideologies would be a great idea. What would be really cool is if it's told through a roleplaying game review of someone who fights an epic World War over ideologies and just mentions the changes as he goes along. If he does it that way, they don't even need to talk about new civs (but they could
)
There's also the two new scenarios. That merits an entire article by itself.
The remaining civs could be released at once or in pairs. But, either way, my point is that there's still plenty of things to give us more drops rather than this long pause.

It was Thursday-Friday the last time they gave new info, right? Maybe at the end of this week?

I think there is a small possibility we could see a new civ tease this week. We need to watch Facebook and Twitter for it, but next week is much more likely.
2K Kate went to Firaxis HQ last week to do Community Manager stuff for the Haunted Hollows mobile game. She mentioned on Twitter on Friday that she has lots of pictures to post. I'm hoping we might catch something in the background of those, like box-art or something. Hopefully she puts those up soonish.

*needs to stop checking here every couple of hours in the vain hope there'll be new info*

I figure any info will be in new threads, not this one, so if this thread is bumped, it means no new info.

'Here' as in the forum itself, not this thread.
