[R&F] Rise and Fall General Discussion Thread

[Eagle Pursuit]

There should be a civ that earns extra Era points (and stacks with Taj Mahal).

That's my idea for Isabella. She would earn extra era points for rolling tribal villages, discovering continents, natural wonders, and circumnavigation.

She will be the ideal explorer civ.

Information Era Dark Ages are no doubt the worst kind of Dark Ages.

Or the information age is per definition always a normal age for everybody, just like the ancient era is probably as well (although an ancient civ might get an ability to start with a golden age).

 

[The Great Navy]

The balances of the UU, UI, LA, and CA to make sure that Civ's are competitive can be spread across all four categories; so not every Civ needs an equally powered CA (Civ Ability - which Founding Fathers is) to be balanced with other Civs. The only one's they def need to be careful with are the LA's, as in making sure any alternate leader for the same Civ has an equal LA.

That is true that balance is most important. But thematically it makes no sense that America's CA is factually worse at doing it's job than Greece's CA,
but Siptah reminded me of Poland's CA so now i'm confident that they just didn't mention the rest.

I remember Anton saying in an interview that there was an upcoming female leader that plays directly with the golden age system, it could’ve been loyalty system though I’m not 100% sure

It was the ages system.

 

[DeepKing]

It was the ages system.

I’m thinking it’s Isabella then. With 9 leaders, two of them already revealed that leaves seven. Im thinking at least half of he remain g are going to be men, so what famous female leaders fit the mold for dealing with a prominent golden age?

 

[liv]

Yeah and he did not say golden age specifically: Quote was "she plays with the Ages system in a very interesting way."

 

[DeepKing]

Either way, really.

 

[God of Kings]

Yeah and he did not say golden age specifically: Quote was "she plays with the Ages system in a very interesting way."

She could be Tamar or Isabella or another female leader, but more likely Tamar or Isabella.

 

[Guatenadian]

With every passing female leader that does not have the Ages system ability my hopes go up for Tamar.

 

[Zaarin]

So I'm trying to condition myself to play as I'll be playing after the expansion drops so that I don't carry over bad habits and I must say that waiting for markets without trade routes to speed them along is painful.

Agreed. I hate that change.

 

[God of Kings]

Agreed. I hate that change.

It's to slow down the number of traders a civ can have. The expansion will have more opportunities for more traders through other means.

 

[Alexander's Hetaroi]

Until we see Tbilisi being founded by Mongolia in the first look.

As for the trader thing, I don't know about everyone else but I would at least like a city to have a lighthouse so I don't crash my boat, and a market to dump the goods off.

 

[God of Kings]

That would be excellent, especially for Victoria.

She would need to have both a market and a lighthouse to get two traders for one city.

 

[Duckfromstatefarm]

The alt leader could go anywhere, Isabella was well known from the start due to her in the leader potrait leak before the game was released, if Fixaris wants to release Isabella, now would be a good time in Rise and Fall.

 

[Craig_Sutter]

She could be Tamar or Isabella or another female leader, but more likely Tamar or Isabella.

Or Elizabeth...

 

[stealth_nsk]

I have mixed feelings about trade route changes. On one hand, second trade route just became harder to get and I don't like this. On the other hand, the late game trade route spam will be a bit less crazy, which is good.

 

[luigilime]

Looks like we won't have a leak this week-end, the civ that's being revealed on tuesday must be a surprise then, probably a never seen before civ

Interesting. Although I personally think it's going to be Genghis/Kublai/Ögedei's Mongolia.
