Next civ video after Greece!

[apocalypse105]

ROME going to be angry if they do rome as last

 

[Guandao]

Arabia is in the lead! With Sumer second. Watch next week as the civ turns out to be Rome or Russia.

Based on the Deluxe edition (and the 25th anniversary) there's four DLCs coming soon enough after release that some people may want to effectively preorder them. Some of them should have Leaders / Civilizations, so if the artists have already finished the first pass of all vanilla leader assets they may well have already started the DLC leader assets.

Now that you mention it, they might wait until after initial release before initiating multiple leaders. That way players can get used to the first leader for each Civ. That may also be why there are only a couple of potential civs with multiple leaders at this point.

Won't pick Rome again as its too close to Greece, so I'll head to Asia and mother Russia!

 

[BohoMojamboEsq]

There's some symmetry in Sumer being last. So I'll go with Arabia as next

 

[Greek Stud]

I'm guessing Poland this time!

I find it hard to understand why they wouldn't release both leaders of a Civ at the same time. It just doesn't make sense to me.

Because the extras leaders will be DLC and they wanted people to start with one per civ to get used to the new mechanics. These leaders seem more unique than Civ IV leaders were...

That is my guess

Just imagine a customer who buys only a base game (dlcs are optional) in which it is written that some civs have multiple leaders. That would not be true (what the game says). Thus, Gorgo must be the second leader in the base game.

Except that doesn't explain why Gorgo's name showed up in the Civlopedia when Ed revealed all the leader names. The general consensus is that the DLC civilizations / leaders are not in the Civlopedia (hence why we didn't see Isabella / Spain and Jadwiga / Poland) at this point in time and that what is shown there is what will be in the base game. So having said that, I'm confused as hell as to what is going on with Gorgo now. Is she part of the base game? Is she a leader of a separate Greece (two Greek civilizations)? Is she a second leader alongside Pericles? Or is this Firaxis trolling / teasing the community once again about multiple leaders? The world may never know for another five weeks...

Anyways, since they've broken the trend on showing religious civilizations, I'm thinking Arabia is going to be a science based civilization alongside a bonus to faith. We know from leaked screenshots that their unique building is the Madrasa which is an Islamic education center. So a bonus to science and faith would make sense.

As for which civilization / leader is next... I'm going to go with the completely random guess of Sumer / Gilgamesh due to the fact that September 21st is the official day that summer ends in the Northern Hemisphere and that they need to show Sumer before summer is over.

Well, if developers wanted to hide multiple leaders feature for as long as possible, they had 2 option - either reveal Greece last OR reveal Greece with only one leader and have First Look for the second leader after all civs are released. If that's what they wanted, they've chosen the second path.

Hm, there is still a true Science focused civ missing. Sure, Brazil gets an early bonus, Japan has a double district adjacency bonus, China has stronger eurekas and spain gets the mission.

But so far, a science bonus per se just has Spain which is some kind of weird. And the strongest science civ so far in concern of science production was Brazil, at least for the beginning.

So I hope there will be at least one more Civ which gets some kind of bonus science yields and to be honest, all three, Russia, Sumer and Arabia seem to fit for it, but Arabia has the Religion connected building, maybe it will provide both, faith and science.
So my hope are still there and I cant imagine, that some science focused civ will be missing in the vanilla version and we would have to wait for dlcs/expansions to get one, after we saw a lot of civs with culture boni...

There's no such thing as full focus in Civ6 and that's good thing. We could expect a bit more scientific civ, though.

Which is why they haven't been pressing the fact. It all makes perfect sense to me. Yes, it well appear in the civilopedia. But most people will overlook it until the actual second leaders are released. Ed's leak spoiled that.

As to that, the leak was more clearly a mistake. Just because Gorgo was in the build, doesn't mean that she was intended for base. They could have had her in the build to test out never intending her reveal. That because they were uncertain or not intending her for base game.

Sure, I dont want to have a pure science civ too. But until now, I only see spain having anything there.
And those general boni of china and brazil (and japan later on). But China's bonus is not a direct science bonus for me and brazil can be the pure science civ so far which is not very fitting in my opinion.

So any UD/UI/UB is welcome, but yeah, I dont hope that UA, ULA and UU and UI/UB/UD are all related to science by some future civ at all ...

 

[Our_DeCay]

I'm starting to think they check this poll every week and make the first look video for whichever civ that gets the least votes

 

[NukeAJS]

I voted for Poland because I love surprises.

 

[SupremacyKing2]

It would be nice to get something tomorrow.

 

[SJSerio]

You know... Maybe they will pull something out of liberty field and reveal a second leader for Japan.

Well, Russia isn't really Asian (most of its population live west of the Urals), but it is admittedly a significant distance from Greece (people often forget how big Europe really is).
