Is the fog of war tileset in the showcases already DLC content?

That looks really nice, but I wonder if that's the tileset they are selling with the Founder's and Deluxe Edition

You bring up the tileset and I've been wondering something about it.

You can see that the tiles have various images on them. There's the VII sunburst, a scarab, and a pair of winged lions. Do these reflect the civs in the game? You can see that the player is playing Egypt. Is the winged lion icon Aksum? Can we deduce or confirm some civs from the tileset?

I think it would break the point of playing against random leaders if you can guess who is in it from the tileset.

Hope not! A big appeal to me is not knowing who I’d find just beyond the FoW. If it dropped civ iconography onto the tiles after we meet them I’d be more inclined to like it, but the screenshot doesn’t seem to imply that

Winged lions were a super common Persian motif; they're all over the walls at Persepolis.

I assumed that was the base game tile set, and the other one might come with a traditional fog of war, or maybe hand drawn map like Civ 6?

It is shiny, though, so I could see it being a premium skin. On the other hand, weird to show a premium skin in the first showcase.

I think that 3d style and animation will be the same, it's just the 2d tileset on top that will be different.

You can only see the icons on the tiles close to your revealed map, so it's possible that they would only show other civs' icons on the tiles after you've met them and pushed out the map edges a little bit.

I remember there used to be a way to know what everyone was playing in civ 5 with one of the victory/achievement boards hope the new mods they add for interfaces are good and that you can randomize them

I had wondered the same thing; it isn't clear to me yet whether this is the "base" or "premium" fog of war.

I'm sure we'll learn more in the months leading up to release.
