Are you really expecting that?She is permanently annoyed. Makes sense, she knows we will make tons of Spanish inquisitions jokes at her.

Not as bad as the Original.I was really not expecting her to return with near-exact replicas of her Civ 5 bonuses. I don't like how RNG-dependent it is. I appreciate the leader model for Isabella though.
She does have a starting bias for Natural Wonders, so she at least has a decent chance of starting near one.Not as bad as the Original.
She has Naval bonuses which are quite strong regardless, and while it is RNG, because you are not guaranteed to have a Natural Wonder nearby, this time around she doesn't gain more money for being the first to discover it, merely discovering them grants a nice sum (300 on your home land, and 600 on distant lands)
The naval aspect doesn't help that much, unless all maps in Civ VII will have water (and I'm not sure if that's been confirmed yet). In that respect too she's a grab-bag of RNG elements. Fun, but RNG is also chaos.Not as bad as the Original.

I mean any leader tends to usually depend on that if you aret his picky...The naval aspect doesn't help that much, unless all maps in Civ VII will have water (and I'm not sure if that's been confirmed yet). In that respect too she's a grab-bag of RNG elements. Fun, but RNG is also chaos.
I disagree, and I dislike the addition of "picky". This isn't about pickiness. It's about what's more plentiful in Civ games and what has tended to be the focus of Civ games in the past: land. Water has always had less interactivity overall. Some leaders in Civ 7 have flat bonuses that apply more widely than "water". Land is more plentiful overall, and that's always been true in Civ games.I mean any leader tends to usually depend on that if you aret his picky...
Based on the info we have so far, we can strongly believe that Pangaea and one-landmass map configurations are gone. Cross-ocean exploration is now an integral part of the Exploration era gameplay. Unless you are - wait for it - the Mongols.The naval aspect doesn't help that much, unless all maps in Civ VII will have water (and I'm not sure if that's been confirmed yet).

And even for them, if they want to win the Econ Legacy, they need to go overseas.Based on the info we have so far, we can strongly believe that Pangaea and one-landmass map configurations are gone.

Yeah, the first thing I heard was “creziente”—love the late medieval/early modern Spanish.I really, really like the fact that she is speaking with a Medieval Castilian pronounciation. That's much more appropriate than her portrayal in CIV5, where she spoke contemporary European Spanish.
It was confirmed long time ago that civ 7 does not do pangea maps.The naval aspect doesn't help that much, unless all maps in Civ VII will have water (and I'm not sure if that's been confirmed yet). In that respect too she's a grab-bag of RNG elements. Fun, but RNG is also chaos.
I'm pretty sure as of 2024 the Inquisiton has looped all the way back from Python Inquisition to Historical Inquisition: everyone can see the jokes coming thirty days ahead.Nobody expects that![]()
Franklin will always unlock America though so that doesn't mean that Normans will unlock America.That’s the Norman flag behind Benjamin Franklin? So Greece-> Norman->American?
Starting Biases:
- Coast
- Natural Wonders
On their official game-guide page for her.Where is the info that she has bias towards Natural Wonders from? The video just says coast.
Wouldn't a hennin be rather scandalous for a devout Catholic queen? Or have I an exaggerated impression of the clergy's reaction to that particular headgear?Disappointed she's a brunette again, and the wimple is a little anachronistic--should be a hennin or mantilla. Love the houppelande, though.
Hennins with a big overhead frame were not adopted much in spanish fashion, and if you consider a “modern” mantilla with associated comb, it would be anachronistic also, but yes, the veil at the time of isabella would be much more transparent than in a wimple, even if set-up in a similar way.Wouldn't a hennin be rather scandalous for a devout Catholic queen?

Also is it me or are her hands over-large?
