I wouldn't be surprised TBH. Look at what CD Projekt Red did with Cyperpunk 2077 with their % progress bar filling up bit by bit. Firaxis might want to outdo them.

But a progress bar is something different - it's a clear indicator that there's something to wait for.
These clouds don't hint at anything.

I doubt they want to evoke annoyance among their fanbase.
This seems more to assemble the fans and to make sure someone watches the interesting part...

Yay, I made it back! With food. Gonna eat at the pc.

I'm watching a movie on the side, with a separate browser window for CivFan, and another for the streams (both muted). Makes the time pass really quickly : )

Enjoy your meal!

The delay when the sound loop starts again always gets me. Has anyone seen my life ?

F5ing for 48 minutes is not having a life?

Place your bets on what destroys the cityscape. Volcanic eruption? Meteor strike? Hurricane? Other?

@Eagle Pursuit Was there any activity recently in the files to indicate something big coming up?

The sounds of aircraft?

Marketing updated twice this morning. The last one was minutes before this started.

Volcano. Even if "Vesuvius" was just the project's working name, they'd pay homage to it here. This tranquil cityscape feels like the calm before a storm... boom goes the dynamite.

time to get my beer (my Friday is finished). Watch something happen in the time I get up

 

[V. Soma]

Where is the progress bar?

Would be more logical if there was a mountain in the background then.

 

[Hawke9]

I'm thinking meteorites

 

[Meluhhan]

A tsunami? Nukes, maybe?

 

[Stringer1313]

My hope is that the modern city scape means the focus will be on late game

I'm thinking the sky darkens, the wind increases, then sheets of rain pelt the city before a hurricane blows in.

11AM PST maybe? Otherwise I want to finish my Civ6 game. I can't wait around forever.
