[R&F] Rise and Fall General Discussion Thread

[chronoturner]

Does anyone remember at what time of the day the Korean first look was released? I recall I was surprised it was before noon.

How do you recall it?

I believe it was leaked on here a bit early, but the main channel posted it around noon-ish (I think).

 

[6uho Koe]

If I recall, it was released at midnight pst when I checked. But usually 10 est I think.

It seems Seondeok's new appearance is very "waify."
Since Netherlands having Wilhelmina, with the female rulers leading civs, I'm hoping they will have king Tamar be the one related to golden ages.

Another female king?

Hum, was it really around midnight EST? I recall it to somewhere around 10 AM i Denmark which is 4 AM EST.

You should see the First Look appear at 4pm CET (Central European Time) provided everything remains the same as before.

This would also mean 3pm GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) for me in London.

I'd say narrow the hips a tad, broaden the shoulders and make the cheeks a trifle less large.

I think that would make her too realistic looking. This way it's more of a caricature, like all the other leaders : )

 

[Disgustipated]

It's not too surprising if they made the Korean leader look more Korean to avoid backlash. The way modern political correctness madness goes, you want to avoid the label of whitewashing and making Asians look less Asian. I notice the trend in a lot of slot machine games in my city (Las Vegas) with Asian themes. The East Asian women don't look very "Asian". I think they do it to appeal to a larger cross section of people, but I prefer more honesty in representation myself.

I should have clarified: midnight at Pacific standard time.

It's a reference to Georgia. It's been memed to death here but I would really love to see Georgia or a Caucasian civ become playable.

I know the meme, I was just curious why you said "king Tamar", and wondered wheter she was officially a king, just like Jadwiga.

I believe she was officially queen but she has been sometimes called king or Mep'e in medieval Georgian sources.

 

[God of Kings]

Looks like Wilhelmina's First Look is going to be revealed at 10AM EST, complete with her new look.

A link to a non-standard location (no recollection of details) was posted here a little after 3 a.m. Eastern time, seven hours earlier than usual. But then it was posted on the usual YouTube channel at the usual time of 10 a.m. Eastern.

Maatjes Haring, which means basicly: Cut Raw Herring.

As a Brit and avid fish ‘n’ chips fan... that looks disgusting
