Wait...forts and the pa function as TRAPS? As in, the zombies have to occupy it??
For some reason the thought of using Heathen Conversion makes me laughFinally a use for planes.
Strategic fallback, I guess. Damage the Zombies, and then fall back and let them kill themselves occupying your Fortifications.Wait...forts and the pa function as TRAPS? As in, the zombies have to occupy it??
A better approach could have been putting Monopolies and Corporations with Portugal.The Portugal civilization would make better sense with the Pirates: the Golden Age of Piracy scenario, instead of the Zombie Defense game mode. Well "better sense": Portugal is not part of the 4 colonial powers since they didn't really set in the caribbean. I guess it is "better sense" in a sense it is a less "worse sense"?
Zombie came from the West African Vodun, a distrinct fom of the traditional African religion mostly in Benin, Togo (and part of Ghana and Nigeria). Due to the African diaspora in America, other countries like Cuba (Vodú), Dominica (Vudú) but mostly Haiti (Vodou) are praticing to some degree the same religion. And to some extinct: in Brazil (Vodum) and the USA (Voodoo).
It is quite a missed opportunity for the inclusion of Benin or Haiti. Before being exposed to some US-american pop-culture media, for me a Zombie was mostly an Undead servant (like a Civilization V's worker!) than a slow-moving never-ending horde of brain eating diseased people.

This actually seems true if you take a little glance at the packs, but Vietnam comes with Corporations and Ethiopia comes with Secret Societies. What do those have to do with each other?
... can we get a definitive time please

Also now that Mogadishu is confirmed to be the replacement of Lisbon what are the chances that cities like Macau or Goa might appear on Portugal's city list?
Macau - nope. For obvious reasons!
No, that one involved looking at a map and picking three major points in the Portuguese trade network spread across the world. I chose Japan as I have always been interested in the really complicated role of the Europeans during the feudal period - the introduction of Christianity and guns, the banning of some (especially the Portuguese) during Edo, and the dramatic Black Ship incident. While saying Macau is a Portuguese city would raise red flags, I think build a feitoria in Macau would not.Is that also the reason why the Portuguese trading post achievement doesn't involve having a trade post in China? It just requires having trading posts in Brazil, India, and Japan.
Little tidbit, too - many of the "Portuguese" populations in Southeast Asia were not Portuguese, but were Japanese. Local populations referred to Christian converts often as "Portuguese" even if they were ethnically Asian, as this was a time before concepts of race and nation became calcified in the way that they did in the 19th C.No, that one involved looking at a map and picking three major points in the Portuguese trade network spread across the world.

But these things are never terribly clear. Nagasaki is a safer choice, regardless. The other choice would have been Kongo, but that, too, was out for obvious reasons - I detail a bit the arguments between Kongo and Portugal on the trade in enslaved people in the Civilopedia entries here.
What has happened?So, still no word on Potatogate?
We've been speculating how poorly (or well) Sean Bean, the narrator, is going to pronounce "João". My guess was that he'd rhyme it with "potato".What has happened?
Pretty sure they razed at least one city state in yesterday´s stream.Was there any comment on how Zombies interact with CSs? We all know that CSs can be razed, Zombies play in the "barb team" and barbarians can attack CSs. What stops Zombies from razing CSs then? Do they consider them as capitals and don't capture/raze them, even if it would technically possible? If no such restriction/special behaviour is in place, it could be also a mode which killing CSs off.
They did indeed :-(Pretty sure they razed at least one city state in yesterday´s stream.
So the zombie mode is introduced to tone down the Portugese ...?Pretty sure they razed at least one city state in yesterday´s stream.
In a little less than 4 hrs from now.What time is this patch releasing, again?
Ohh.. I thought it had got something to do with Potato McWhisky, the streamer. Well, you might be very right given that there is ample precedence of butchered pronunciation on Sean Bean's part.We've been speculating how poorly (or well) Sean Bean, the narrator, is going to pronounce "João".
