Phillipines headed by Imelda Marcos. LUA would be access to shoes, a unique luxury granting 4 amenities, but which drains the public treasury at a rate of 5 GPT.

What about adding Mali and then the scenario is Mansa Musa's Hajj. It starts a few turns before he starts moving, a phase in which you prepare. You try gather as much faith as possible because at every city he decides the next city visited based on the amount of faith it is generating and the trade routes connecting. If he visits your city, you get an immediate gold bonus but your gold per turn is depressed. Until he reaches Mecca you score based on your faith per turn so you need to decide whether to spend that gold or not. On his way back he visits the cities generating the most gold because now he is taking out loans from having spent so much during the trip there. You are scored on gold per turn and get a bonus if he visits your city, but if he visits your city you take an immediate gold hit but get an increased gold per turn. Until he reaches his capital you are scored by gold per turn. The city/nation with the highest combined score from the faith per turn and gold per turn phases wins. You have to decide whether to spend your gold on economic or faith builds. Maybe battles should be fought as skirmishes where the loser is driven back instead of being destroyed to de-emphasize conquest. The winner of a skirmish can decide on a bonus of gold or faith.

North Korea would be *more* interesting if missile silos were their special improvement.

I think they generally use mobile launchers like China and Russia. The US is the country that primarily uses silos.

Since there are a lot of you who are confused as to how the new DDE DLCs are going to play out, here's my take on the announcement, especially on the third paragraph of that statement at their official website.

In the coming months, we’ll be releasing two additional Civilization & Scenario Packs for Civilization VI that will introduce three new leaders representing civilizations from Africa and Southeast Asia. This content will appear automatically for purchasers of the Civilization VI Digital Deluxe edition upon release.

It will be two DLCs that are going to be released for the DDE. The two DLCs would contain three new leaders that belong to civilizations in Africa and Southeast Asia. Note that the statement does not say that each DLC would contain a leader. It describes the contents as if the two DLCs are one unit.

The three new leaders, corresponding to each DLC, could be:
DLC #1 DLC#2
1 new civ: 1 leader 1 new civ; 2 leaders
OR
1 new civ: 1 leader 1 new civ: 1 leader; alternative leader

EDIT: Forgot to include the OR

This is really good customer service. Thanks, Firaxis!!

They need them. The game can't be accurate to real life if those missiles can travel more than a hex or two after launch.

The three new leaders, corresponding to each DLC, could be:
DLC #1 DLC#2
1 new civ: 1 leader 1 new civ; 2 leaders
1 new civ: 1 leader 1 new civ: 1 leader; alternative leader

Why could it not be that DLC#2 had 2 new civs with 1 leader each? The official announcement says 3 new leaders but it doesn't say it's not going to be 3 new civs. So theoretically it could be 3 new leaders AND 3 new civs at same time? 1 from Africa 2 from SEA or vice versa?

It's because of a reddit post where they said it would be 2 civs and 3 leaders

Which was referencing the deleted tweet. Still not confirmed whether it's 2 or 3 new civs.

They deleted that Twitter post shortly after posting. Maybe because it's untrue or maybe because it's telling too much.

 

[Katakanja]

a hex or two

I think even that is a generous estimation going off of North Korea's recent endeavours

 

[The Kingmaker]

If the third leader doesn't pertain to one of the new civs, I'm betting it's a 2nd leader for either Egypt or India. Kongo seems less likely.

They deleted that Twitter post shortly after posting. Maybe because it's untrue or maybe because it's telling too much.

Or maybe it was ambiguously worded and was causing too much confusion based on multiple possible interpretations.

Really both are equally as likely. I'm sure Twitter is handled by 2K's promo team in CA so communications mix ups are all but assured.

Not that it matters how they break down really. I love new civs but if they are gonna have the leader system I would hope to see it beefed up. Nothing but excitement for the new content, but some disappointment (since it isn't here yet).

They might have done a second leader for Kongo due to the fan base reaction to Mvemba being locked out of a religious victory.

 

[Siptah]

They might have done a second leader for Kongo due to the fan base reaction to Mvemba being locked out of a religious victory.

But his/her ability has to be weak in such a case, comparable to Peter and Russia. Kongo's UA is just too strong if the leader also gets a really good ability. And the question that remains is: would many people buy it?

 

[Zaarin]

Coming from Tyre in all...But then how long do you have to live in a continent to take it's name? They were there for quite a while

Sure, but my point is that when Firaxis says "Africa," most people will be expecting a black African civ and will doubtless scream "racism" and "whitewashing" if the African civ turns out to be a Middle Eastern civ in Africa. NB the Carthaginian colonists conquered the native Berbers but didn't mix with them much, so they'd still look Levantine, especially the aristocratic families like the Barcids.

It would have to be equally weak, but it could still be interesting. Power =/= fun , necessarily.

That was also my thought, that's why Anna Nzinga.

What people expect has no bearing on what Firaxis plans. If one of the DLC winds up being Carthage (not that I think it will), Firaxis would not be incorrect in saying "Africa." If one of the DLC winds up being Carthage and Firaxis had said "Mediterranean," I'm sure a lot of people would have expected European Mediterranean and there would have been a ton of backlash about Euro-centrism again.
