[Caesar of Bread]

She's a 10 (now I wanna be Julius Caesar).

I like the background

 

[Eagle Pursuit]

It still looks like leather to me, especially in the bodice. She looks like she's about to join Commodus in the Colosseum.

I think it's supposed to be silk, but they made it look too rigid.

I somehow didn’t even notice til you pointed that out. Wow, it’s great.

 

[Cooleatack]

I'm also disappointed that Ptolemaic Cleo doesn't really look Hellenistic.....

Sundiata Keita is my favorite look of these three leaders.

For me, it's them using the exact same make-up. Would she not wear a different style as a more Hellenic persona?

 

[Republic of San Montuoso]

Since when do Firaxis care about picturing Cleopatra even slightly hellenic in any way?

 

[SecretWeapon]

Although she does have slightly different makeup in the video too

Doth my heart dare to hope? That the reason the Spotlights began on Friday is to allow room in the marketing sequence for the First Look to resume its place of prominence on Tuesday?

I tremble to think of it!

First looks and/or a livestream, hopefully.

Fingers crossed for a livestream...featuring surprise bonus leader...Napoléon Bonaparte of Egypt!

(joking, joking)

 

[SecretWeapon]

I expect nothing. In a semi related note, I just noticed Civ's Cleo looks like the Alexa Demie. Given that she is a vampire it's quite possible she was Cleopatra herself.

I think you meant surprise leader Julius Caesar Ides of March Persona. The livestream will not feature any other new leaders, just the Caesar model we already have with the same ability but with a giant knife sticking out of his back.

I legit wonder if they are just using this to train new devs for Civ7 lol

I'm very late to this but I just want to push back on it a tad.

As a software developer who's spent a decade progessing through various tech stacks in my job, I can categorically say training new hires on old tech would be one of the least useful things you can do

I know the "junior dev" trope is a very popular one, but that's a whole other topic!

It still looks like leather to me, especially in the bodice. She looks like she's about to join Commodus in the Colosseum.

I can definitely see how this (the top half) looks like leather, but I just think that's how various materials look in (leaders in) Civ 6. I have a lot of time for the art style in this game, but in cases like this it does work against the end result.

Of course, an alternative explanation is "proper silk would hug the body in very specific ways" which, ah, they also might want to be avoiding.

This is true. See also my comment about why Ramesses is wearing cotton not sheer linen. But yeah, it does look more like fabric now that I've seen it in motion. I still didn't want a second round of Egyptian fantasy clothes, but it doesn't look as bad as it did in the stills.

 

[Kjimmet]

They haven't announced it in Twitter yet, but on YouTube side it shows that tomorrow there is a livestream. Title contains word "update." Fingers crossed it means there will be patch with the pack.

 

[AntSou]

The stream is earlier than last time.

Rulers of the Sahara Game Update. Like Kjimmet mentioned. When was the last time we saw "game update" being used? I hope it's meaningful.

So I am right, it does feel early.

There's a life stream announced for tommorow. So maybe.

The First Look will be shown during the live stream, I assume. That's what they did during the other live streams.

Happy Valentines Day everyone!!!

 

[Eagle Pursuit]

Nice! This pleases me.

Edit: Of course, I have a meeting with an advisor planned for that time, then lunch with my wife. So, I will have to read the thread afterwards.
