Next Sneak Peak

[slyone14]

Well, I think most of of us suspected Mongolia would be next. They seem to put forth all the major civs. we suspected first. IM actually excited about next weeks due to with the passing of each week, the more uncertain whom the next civ will be.

 

[Cerilis]

So we are getting Genghis then? The face looked like Kublai. Interesting.

Maybe the face was someone else?

 

[SammyKhalifa]

though it looks like they are not going Calvary with the Mongols this time

That would be silly though

I think they just didn't want to put horses in the teaser, because that would be even more obvious.

 

[Rosty K]

No map this time, so must be Mongols. The map would just be too large to fit the screen

No. The mongol UU will be riding giant cats. Confirmed.

 

[luigilime]

well gengis i one of those leaders that has been in every single game, i never thought they would change him

 

[Eagle Pursuit]

So now, what becomes of the Genghis Khan Great General? I bet they rename it Subutai.

I actually think it will be like Alexander, where we will get two UUs. Which would be kinda neat

I'm pretty sure I saw a ger in the encampment during that screenshot though as like a stable replacement. Mongolia not having some kind of cavalry or horse ability wouldn't seem right. There wasn't a mention of the Hwacha either in Korea's teaser.

 

[Vahnstad]

Hmm it's probably the Pallas cat like someone above said, so Mongolia?

This is Caucasian wildcat

Chinese Mountain cat

Pallas cat

[agonistes]

It's the Mongols.

Mongols used recurve bows.

Well, not necessarily. Do the bows curve east? Or to the west? Traditionally, a mongolian bow is made with its curve bending to the west.

I believe an eastern curve would be pheonician. And pheonicians were fond of cats too, introducing them to the egyptians.

 

[Gabriel Sergio]

A new sneak peek so . . .

My guess it's Morioh led by Kira Yoshikage because he has cat like stand and stray cat, His father has magical arrow and shot it at random people

Just kidding and ignore that, my guess is either Mongols or Georgia
The Mongols were famous for their archery but the archer clothing it's not like Mongols

 

[Phoenix1595]

So the one sour point in all of this is that this will be the last FL for several weeks, given the holidays.

 

[DeepKing]

lol That's a rough looking cat.

Looks like it missed Georgia.

 

[Arent11]

A funky looking cat, a blacksmith forging an arrow, and an archer with a recurve bow.

It's the Mongols.

Genghis Khan was buried with 6 cats.

His given name Timujin means blacksmith.

Mongols used recurve bows.

Well, then we have now 2 cavalry civilizations. Actually I didn't think they would include the mongols after scythia. However, since Korea is also included,
maybe there is a scenario planned which needs them.

The Scythians are more Classical Era, where the Mongols are probably Medieval Era. There's room for a couple of variants, as proven by Civ V having Mongols and Huns.

Genghis Khan was buried with 6 cats.

"He asked to be buried with his six cats while they were alive so their purrs could guide him to the afterlife to the land under the big blue sky."

 

[Vahnstad]

Looks like it missed Georgia.

spread of Pallas cat, which does indeed indicate Mongolia, northern China and Bukhara territory (but the Caucasian wildcat has different spread of course).
