That's true... but then, why no Mountain adjacency? I mean, an observatory would perfectly have a better "astronomical" output if the astronomers would just have to go on a 2-day trip to go a little higher to see the stars...
Plus, I don't see why plantations would then, following this logic, allow astronomers to be more potents.
Except if you consider plantations & farms as open land with no light pollution, making it better to study the sky? But then, why do observatories would have better adjacency from districts that produce light pollution?
They based it off of El Caracol, located in Chichen Itza. The Yucatán landscape was flat so it was used to observe the night sky with no obstructions around. They needed an adjacency bonus and farms and plantations are built on flat land early game. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/El_Caracol,_Chichen_Itza

If the Observatory were actually on the mountain then that would be the best view, but next to the mountain seems awful. It could block part of the sky!
I am assuming the Plantations and Farms are supposed to represent open land and that the Observatory spot was selected and built up to line up well with the important stars. Also, I think the science is representing how advanced the Calendar was, so the farms and plantations nearby have more accurate information, but instead of having a district with no adjacency bonuses give yields to adjacent improvements, they just put the yields on the district.
As for the districts I am again just assuming this represents purposeful city planning, and thus lining the Observatory up with the heavens.
THE FIRST WOMAN LEADER OF AMERICAS!!! I JUST LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I always tought the first woman leader of Americas will be Evita Peron from Argentina or Xochitl from Tolteca, but it is even better, because this Maya Lady I never heard about!!! *I like totaly unknown civs for me XD
I'm more excited about Gran Colombia, but I definitely want to give Maya a go sometime The malus is not kind, but bonus housing and gold from farms and +10% to all yields will definitely make very very tall cities. This seems pretty interesting since Civ 6 seems to disfavor going tall, so Maya will likely feel different from other civs.
I must really say that I did like what I saw in the first look already last thursday. But after watching Gran Colombias first look, I feel even more attracted to the Maya.
Colombias just sound so simple, straight-forward and OP as hell, whereas the Maya appear to demand some thinking, when placing cities, observatories, farms and plantations and so forth.
Plus, I really like to NOT go for domination victory. Even if the AI does dumb stuff, I like to see the world "alive" and do immersive stuff. Me minding my own buisness in a small but tall Maya empire, watching the world from there, sounds like a lot of fun.
I'm sure after 37 pages, this has already been mentioned by now. One of the things I like about the Maya is that their Observatory shouldn't be battling for placement with Holy Sites and Aqueducts, so I'll be more likely to build the latter with them.

I used to root for Evita and i still think a modern female leader would be great but given Argentina's current political situation and how is it tied to peronism, i'm not sure if Evita would be a great idea anymore

Both are cool for diferent reasons, the Maya civilization isn't so excting because it was already in many other Civ games, but a female unknown leader make it astonish.
Colombia leader isn't a surprise it self, but a new South American Civ, for me, is very exciting!
While Civ 5 just have two South American Civs, now in Civ 6 we already have doubled it, maybe one day will be possible to set a game in South America just with South American civs.
North America still the same number of civilizations as in previous Civ 5, but as I know Iroquois will coming some day, we will be able to set Americas game with not always the same leaders.
Hehe, when I play this game I always choice real maps, and as a Latin America I really enjoy play "at home", and I was really tired to always use the same and same leaders. Now, with the realease of Bolivar (and also because Mapuche civ) I will finally stop play Civ 5 and purchase Civ 6
That's the main reason i root for Evita. We should skip the middleman and make Madonna an alt leader for USA. I'd like her more than the presidents tbh

The problem with Evita Perón is, she never was a President of Argentina, and the other wife of Peron, Isabel Perón, isn't so appealing.
If Argentina any day become a Civ, I will would prefer Perón it self. Or Bartolomé Mitre, because he fought Paraguayan war and also finish the civil war was going on in Argentina since the independance movement.
Also, if one day Argentina become a Civ, also I don't like the idea of San Martín for the same reason a idea of Evita Perón, both never beome State Chief of Argentina.
Argentina have a lack of good name to be a civ leader, that the why I guess they don't will appear in this game soon.

The problem with Catherine de Medici is that she never was the true King of France (because we didn't allowed queen at this time). She only was the regent and queen-mother. And yet, she's been chosen.
If someone who wasn't the official ruler had an true impact of their politics time, then they're worthy of inclusion.

Wait... Are you saying you know nothing about Big Vicky... hem, I mean, Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom and Northern Ireland, Imperatrice of India and Defender of the Faith?
Oh, boy, you have so much to learn! It's fantastic! Victoria was basically one of the most influential queen of England (and she was a true queen by law). If she has been alive in 1914 the WWI would have never started because 3 belligerants were their grandsons (and also because England would probably have dominated al Europe under her rule).
Seriously, just look it up because Victoria is one of the best example of a successful woman during a mostly patriarchal time/society.
