Like world congress , new diplomatic options, and this about strategic resources (which is somethning what needs to be changed, I have felling only Iron is important in game right now) ... dont like this future goverments, why ... there was enough goverment types, they should just make them more important and connected to base game that all

New Civs are fine i guess, but Ottomans without Bizanty is ???? ... also no Austria, so who would Ottomans fight

So, with Canada in, I predict Château Frontenac as one of the new wonders

wow they're leaving out portugal? there's definitely something after the expansion for sure

There wasn't room for Portugal, whose empire was one of the largest and longest-lived in the history of mankind, because we had to make room for Canada.

Zaarin is gonna be unhappy about Kristina leading Sweden

 

[Pistol90]

In some way i would like this to be true , because there is still too many Civs who are almost must-have in game ... so that would be good indication there are at least more DLCs to come

 

[luigilime]

there's too much missing there's have to be a third expansion

And railroads and canals of course.

A third expansion seems almost unheard of these days, but it would be interesting, I must admit...

Château Red Herring

 

[luigilime]

the only storm i see gathering now is of complaints LOL

 

[Giskler]

I prefer them adding new civs rather than recycling old ones.

 

[Pistol90]

Agree , one of thing which bothers me is slow unit speed ... thats is the reason I almost always play marathon because on Standard you dont have enough time to fight a war ... you start a war with horses on one side of your empire , while they reach front-line you already reaserched tanks and transform them

 

[Ivan Hunger]

My understanding (from secondhand sources) is that the same person who leaked these images and all this info also said there will be a third expansion.

So if he turns out to be right about all this, then he'll probably be right about that too.

What statue will be depicted for Gathering Storms cover art? Anyone?

 

[GermanSettler]

I know there will be a lot of complaining.

But in the end we have a very diverse and interesting mixture, I think. There is no rule how this is decided, people knew that even after vanilla. I think whoever thought some civs are simply a "must" at this point set themselves up for disappointment long ago.

 

[Potworny]

That's probably the most leaked expansion in civ history. We already have 18 out of 9 leaders, not even Beachgate is up to par.

Also, give me portugal, you salmaos malvados.

 

[SelmanV]

Kristina? Is this a joke? That is a literal diversity hire.
She converted to the enemies religion, abdicated and moved to Rome, ruined her family's legacy (her father was one of Sweden's greatest kings) legacy, did nothing useful whilst in power and she gets picked as leader.
Wtf Firaxis?

 

[Deliverator]

A statue of Zeus or Jupiter?

 

[ButtBillionaire]

so, of the Scandinavian kingdoms, I guess it's Denmark getting left out this time around? Unless if a potential third expansion or bonus DLC were to include them, which I don't really see happening, despite the Danish having a period of greatness during the time of the Dano-Norwegian kingdom, in addition to the Viking Era. (which Norway already covers)

 

[Disgustipated]

is that the same person who leaked these images and all this info also said there will be a third expansion.

How would he/she know that?
