I know Maya gets some gold from their farms, but I still have a hard time seeing this as a big overall positive.
The extra early gold allows you to skip production and buy units / buildings.

Well, I'm gonna side with Larsen here. The fact that you need to invest extremely valuable early time and production into making some farms to give you something that other civs get for free doesn't make it a good investment.

Has anyone talked about how Lady Six Sky merely uses Amanitore's animation?
Hope this isn't the case in the game ugh that's so lazy.

Recycling old animation models for new leaders is hardly new. Play Civ 4 BtS, you'll find it occurs there on a large scale as well. (Gilgamesh/Hannibal and Ramesses/Brennus are two that spring to mind)
The problem with this kind of Civs is they require out of the box strategy and compared with straightforward Civs like Korea may seem weak. People are lazy with thinking. If they have a good strategy they will stick to their well known and verified path. If something doesn't fit it - it is easy to be judged as a weaker. The big question here is if Maya's potential is a thing. That's why it is so hard to judge it. I would love it if the Maya will be a Civ which is much harder to play but if handled in a proper way much more rewarding and better than Korea. And we should play not just one but a few games to say if it's true.I am a little concerned that this Civ may turn out to be weak if there's not more done to buff the tall playstyle in the game. I do agree with those who have pointed out it punishes wide play more than rewards tall play. That said, I don't think it's a bad design: it certainly offers a different and challenging playstyle and really that's all I want from new Civs at this stage. Design-wise, this is still streets ahead of the majority of the Civs added in R&F.
I have learned that so called gamers love to feel enraged and entitled.
There was a post on on how L6S was "an obscure governor of a Maya city"![]()
Farns are up to +4 with feudalism if surrounded by other farms. The issue with Maya is a bad capital placement will give you huge problems for the rest of the game, for exponential growth I much rather have something like Romes free monument. There is alot of issue with like poor first ring settling in order to maximize the amount of cities that get bonuses which will also slow down you start and so will builder first when other civs can do stuff like monument first.
But doing so mean delaying settling for who knows how long.
This is very true. Hard to master but rewarding would be ideal, I think. I definitely have a set playstyle I'm guilty of defaulting to (which is why I tend to play the same Civs over and over) but a science-focused, tall, turtley play is not something I've really attempted since Civ 5 so it will be really fun to try that again.The problem with this kind of Civs is they require out of the box strategy and compared with straightforward Civs like Korea may seem weak.

Which is why we should all be grateful that Game of Thrones' final season came out last year and not thisAdd to that bit people are still quarantined or in some type of privation. People are on edge and it can easily spill over.
I'm pretty sure these animations are done using motion capture tech. With the studio shut down they may not be able to capture new animations for leaders.
In any case leader animations are terrible for gameplay flow and I turn them off.
