[R&F] Rise and Fall General Discussion Thread

[darkace77450]

Firaxis answered my tweet on twitter today. The next livestream is next thursday. Makes sense as this day marks 4 weeks till release (feb8)

To be clear, "next Thursday" as in this coming Thursday or a week from this Thursday?

Not sure, but there were issues with the timing as it was the same time as Quill18's Livestreams (which I've been watching lately). Early in December I had to choose Quill 18 over the Firaxis one (which I just caught later that afternoon). Firaxis had asked him if he could move his, and he did for one week. I believe he's back to his usual Wednesday livestreams. And of course there is conflict since he was actually playing Civ6 at the time (though I think he will continue his SMAC livestream from Saturday tomorrow). So you have the same fan base split, which can cause issues.

You may be on to something. Livestreamers should be gaining preview access pretty soon, Quill18 included. They probably moved the Firaxis livestream so as not to overlap with his as he shows off R&F too.

Next Thursday. Like 2 days from now. As we have not reached Thursday yet from this week. I`m sorry if you got confused. English is not my native language.

No need for apologies. Thanks for getting this info to us.

I haven't watched his videos of Civ6 in a while....

Firaxis and Ed Beach takes the bait from time to time. I keep trying (sends spy back to firaxis capital)

He will most likely be playing SMAC. He's not playing Civ6 at the moment after his recent loss as the Khmer. He will be waiting until R & F comes out.

I haven't heard any news on early access. I'm not sure how that would work since they are releasing early look videos every week until release, right? You can't let Youtubers play the game and release information prematurely.

I wonder what he thinks of the Cree "controversy", considering that he's Canadian.

From the leaders announced so far, which ones you guys think are "atheist scum" (leaders that don't go for religion unless they have a really good reason to do so), if any of them?

Wilhelmina, Poundmaker and Genghis, though Wilhelmina will go toward Protestantism when she has the chance.
Seondeok might be in the middle, like Pedro and Catherine, with preference to Buddhism.
Chandragupta and Tamar will go full out zealous mode with probably Hinduism (unless Jainism is introduced) and Eastern Orthodoxy respectfully.

 

[CivLuvah]

Has there been any reaction from Georgian media on the Georgian civ?

 

[Siptah]

I‘m really wondering why a unique CH replacement for the Ottomans called Bazaar is so popular. The ottoman name for that is çarşı, and I wouldn‘t like it if they call it Bazaar. It was bad enough in civ V where the Arabs had this instead of a Souk.

They do have the Grand Bazaar and the Spice Bazaar in Istanbul. Sure they could change the name, but to me that would be minor. It's the best option for a bazaar to appear at this point, since Arabia and Persia is already out of the question. And the idea of bazaars spread to Europe as well with the Ottomans help, or so I believe.

It can be called whatever if it's implemented in the game. For discussion's sake, everyone knows what a bazaar is.

Wouldn't Genghis be Tengrist? Is Tengrism even in the game?

 

[Zaarin]

Yes. No. I'm still hoping that Chandragupta and Genghis mean Jainism and Tengriism are added, and that we get Oriental Orthodoxy in time for Ethiopia's triumphant return.

 

[MarcosQuadros]

so it's appears that the unique new palace style for russia is not unique russian, but a new style for eastearn orthodox civs right?

 

[MarcosQuadros]

hoping that inca are in! and that incan governors have something with providing more food/housing/gold , but less boring than seondeok ability
