The fighter planes flying in Britain sneak peek, an unique unit or just general fighter?

I've advocated for Battersea Power Station before. It's surely one of the most iconic and famous buildings in Britain, and a perfect wonder. However, recently the Crystal Palace has been proposed a few times, and now I'm actually a bit disappointed to see Battersea Power Station instead of that. Well... still a good choice and something new. Hopefully, the British ability will have something to do with the British Museum then.

Bolívar is also surprising as I thought we’d filled our 18th/19th century revolutionary roster for the initial set of releases!

after Civ 6 leaned so hard on medieval monarchs I'm very glad to see more modern & non-monarchic leaders in the game

But now it's 6000 years of history in civ 7, and more than a third of the actors lived between 1750 and 1850. Which feels quite alien to someone like me whose interest in history diminishes drastically after the Peace of Westphalia.

whats stranger is that its had this huge renovation done to it to make it apartment flats very recently

An iconic industrial relic converted into unaffordable luxury flats is actually a perfect representation of modern London

To be fair, Battersea Power Station is a pretty wonderful building, it fulfils the brief of "wonder" in that regard. And I suppose it kind of works as a symbol of British industrialisation, even though it was built in the 1930s? Wouldn't be my first choice for a wonder but I'm ok with it.

I have a feeling that the Crystal Palace is what you will build as the wonder for the World's Fair.

its so massive tho, while I wish it were the case, I don't see how two buildings could fit onto it; also I don't think there are any duplicate-looking power stations in Britain or the world...

It's not mentioned here, but I spotted immediately when this was shown the Battersea Powerplant and Royal Exchange; I assumed the other building in the quater is the statue and Underground Station entrance to make a "Bank of England" quarter, or as someone else replied to me with, "Bank Junction".

I recognised the quarter immediately as I pass through it almost every time I visit London; I just didn't post about it until the following day.

That could be. But it could also be an amalgamation of several famous World Fair buildings. Or of several Glass Palaces.

Yes, that was me. I was thinking the buildings could be the Royal Exchange and the Bank of England to create a Bank Junction quarter. An underground station could be interesting too considering the way to win an Economic victory is linking cities with manufactured resource factories by railroads, but underground stations could be used instead?

I’ve noticed that the egdata page is now filled with X-Men references, I guess to not leak anything.

Gentrification as a crisis. It initially surges money. Then production, money, science and culture fall's off a cliff because your workforce can't afford housing. The crisis cards are lets turn our home into an air bnb and buy a 2nd.
