[NFP] Kublai Khan Discussion Thread

Strong but kinda boring

 

[Leucarum]

I like it. Nothing super flashy but synergizes well with both civs... The extra economic slot was probably needed to keep it competitive with the eurekas only triggering once per civ... I like the idea of playing kublai on a huge map though for sure...

Awesome. Love how different he’ll play with China versus Mongolia.

Honestly. I thought KK was going to bit phoned in by FXS. Instead, he looks absolutely awesome.

China KK- bit more cultural
Mongolia KK- more on Domination.
Just like in Real history.

And it's all ??? Sucks ...

I wonder if they got the Leader Screens right, though... White-clothed Kublai looks like he's in China, and Yellow-clothed Kublai looks like he's in Mongolia...

@Boris Gudenuf, any words?

Yes it does look like White clothed Kublai is leading China and Yellow clothed is Mongolia.

Eurekas and inspirations triggering once per civ, does that include city states too or not...?

Just one problem... Only one Eureka and Inspiration per Civ... Not as good as I was hoping, but still, pretty good.

Interesting..so as China do you want an extra builder charge and the ability to rush early wonders or the extra economy slot? Feels like extra builder charge all day but let's see.

Kublai Khan wears white clothes while leading China and yellow clothes while leading Mongolia??

 

[AntSou]

I'm neither disappointed nor particularly excited. Looks fine.

I wonder how @Boris Gudenuf will react to this...

 

[Republic of San Montuoso]

Very interesting, but kind of... underwhelming?

The "Gain extra eurekas and inspirations" part is underwhelming for me. Yes, it synergizes nicely with both China and Mongolia (which means it's a much better dual leader than Eleanor), but the strengths of both those civilizations came from the Leaders. Kubichina doesn't seems particularly strong for me, and same for Kubigolia.

I feel that the extra economic card slot was artificially put here to balance it.

Overall I will certainly try it. But Mongolia is not a civ I like (because I don't like domination civs) and the interest of China laid in Qin's bonuses which are quite strong (first IIRC in the elimination thread), so Kubichina and Kubigolia could be fun but not staples of my games I think.

+1 economic policy slot, damn, can he lead every civ?

 

[Kupe Navigator]

Any words on his agenda? I have a feeling he would be similar to Wilhelmina's

 

[Duke William of Normandy]

Wait... Did anyone notice he had a braid at the back of his hair?

 

[Eagle Pursuit]

He doesn't really have any need to receive Trade Routes. I'm not sure what he would prefer

 

[Myomoto]

I think my first game after the update is going to be an economic Kublai China game.
