PAX Conference analysis thread

[Rob (R8XFT)]

Ashurbanipal looks sensational!!

So, we've Poland, Assyria + Brazil - plus there'll be a Native American civ I would think, as they had to ditch the Pueblo, so possibly went for an alternative.

 

[Dragonflow]

Don Pedro of Brazil and Ashurbanipal of Assyria confirmed.
XCOM new unit, I like it.

 

[Cicero63]

Did anyone else notice the blue bordered civilization on the minimap? I though they were a new civilization?

 

[kingchris20]

I'd say its just a joke, an in-house mod just for fun, to give us the Assyria leader screen as well

 

[Fabiano79]

Brazil is in, so is very safe to say that Portugal is in too.

 

[Gucumatz]

Brazil confirmed, Portugal is now 99% probable, Poland has a nice UB, Assyria confirmed, Sumerians not in 100% sure, and I am out $20 on my bet that the Pueblo/Anasazi would be in

Mixed bag.

 

[Eagle Pursuit]

I don't think the XCOM unit is a joke. They sure seemed pretty sincere about it.

 

[Fabiano79]

Brazil color is green and blue or green and black?

It's France, sadly.

And I was right, Trade units are a brand new type of unit altogether

 

[apocalypse105]

... seriously?

It's a joke. It was funny, too. Lighten up.

If this unit is actualy in the game at release they just use this game to put their own ideas what they thinx is funny and cool withouth consequences

makes sence why diplomacy is so crazy

Was that not just France?

 

[Ellye]

I happen to be Brazilian, and I happen to be surprised that they did include Brazil.
And I like to be surprised by this sort of thing.

Also, I'll be extra happy if Portugal is also in. I tend to enjoy playing with the Portuguese in games that have them.

 

[Cicero63]

Oh nevermind, it looked like a different shade of blue so I got confused

I'm amazed you're taking this so seriously. It was an incredibly obvious panel-specific joke. Do you really think they're putting in a unit with 40-tile range?

 

[Eagle Pursuit]

The XCOM unit is probably super late game just like the GDR. I don't see it having a huge effect other than immersion.

 

[Glassmage]

the light blue one is france....

 

[SnowKomodo]

Portugal is now 99% probable

Did they hint something that I missed? Or is it just an educated guess based off of the trade route mechanisms which favor Portugal?

 

[Pouakai]

I wonder what the chance is of us getting some screenshots to go along with this?

They wheren't joking about the giant death robot at vanilla so i won't be suprised.

As a side not Am i the only one who is getting nightmares aobout the trade units beeing automated bararian slaughter !!!!!!!!!

 

[kingchris20]

Im sad that the Pueblo leaders wouldn't allow the Pueblos into the game
