[R&F] New Features Video

[anandus]

Hmmm.. A bit underwhelmed by the 'emergency'-mechanic.

 

[pietro1990]

Am i the only one who is dissapointed that there aren't nay changes in the tech tree like new technologies changing the way techs are put together .

 

[bbbt]

New leader (3rd from left) looks very Native/Polynesian/East Asian.

Edit: ah, too slow

Well, from the leader line up in that screenshot (the assumed Inca included but not Georgia), it looks like they did bump up Georgia release-wise.

 

[stealth_nsk]

Overall we got significant details on alliances, emergencies (although only 1 type shown in details), some new dedications, I believe, full details on Pike and Shot. That's roughly the amount I expected.

But surely we'll be discussing the new leader instead. That's what the forum usually do. You know, is this skin color Inkan enough, that sort of things.

 

[ArallanKing]

I guess so.

Umm confirmed?

 

[criZp]

Will that be enough to not let it flip?

The point of dark age is that some of your cities are likely to flip

 

[God of Kings]

this narrator . . .

All I know is that his given name is neither Sarah nor Sean.

Alliance screen image:

Spoiler :

Again... Queen Seondeok looks like her SE Asian version; so who knows how accurate this is.

 

[Kheznik]

colour scheme Inca's?
bias? I have to recheck the map to know which band in the world they are in. There are some mountains nearby.

Doesn't really look like an Incan colour scheme... but it would be fitting for the Mapuche.

 

[GermanSettler]

I think that's definitely a new South American leader (which is great!). A headband is not enough to identify whether it's the Inca or someone else, like the Mapuche, though.

Youa re right... and the headband actually looks a little bit more like those of the Mapuche. I am rather sure this leader will be the enxt one to be revealed.

 

[Vahnstad]

Hmm, i don't know. And does Gorgo have a brown colour scheme now?

What would be Muisca's colour scheme. What would be Mapuche's bias? Is there a chance it could be Muisca?

 

[conorbebe]

Whoever this new leader is, he’s very handsome.

The point of dark age is that some of your cities are likely to flip

Unless you expand or conquer during the dark age, you should be able to keep your borders, I think.

 

[bite]

were there any new city states spotted?

 

[Lord Lakely]

Lautaro of Mapuche was spec'd as the possible leader, so I did a little side-by-side analysis

and look, hey, it actually kind of fits. He could also be a polynesian leader of sorts but who? (not Maori due to the absense of face tats)

 

[criZp]

the spec ops unit is new to us, no? looks like a paradropper like the civ 5 unit.

Will that be enough to not let it flip?

Maybe. It will depend on how low your loyalty is. You can boost amenities too to increase loyalty. But keep in mind that Dark Ages are supposed to give you a loyalty problem so it should be difficult to prevent a flip when in a Dark Age. You might have to just accept that 1 city close to the Golden Age neighbor will flip to a free city and there is nothing you can do about it except reconquer it by force. Dark Ages are supposed to be difficult. It would completely neuter Dark Ages, if you could easily prevent flips.

One of the dark age policy cards double the amount of science your cities with a holy district produce while reducing culture in all your cities by 25%.

Maybe. It will depend on how low your loyalty is. You can boost amenities too to increase loyalty.

Dark Ages are supposed to be difficult. It would completely neuter Dark Ages, if you could easily prevent flips.

I guess a simple solution is to have a strong army ready to recapture any cities that fall out the line.

 

[Eagle Pursuit]

were there any new city states spotted?

I saw Hong Kong.

 

[Duuk]

This video did something weird. For the target market (ie: Not CivFanatics) it gave an teaser overview that seemed deep.

For us? I have a feeling there is enough in there that can be screenshot-divined that we'll enjoy this week.

Also: I'm now 2-of-4 on my civ choices. You should all get in line on Italy.
