[R&F] Rise and Fall General Discussion Thread

Not today. I wouldn't be surprised if we get one tomorrow and a First Look Tuesday.

We may, but we also did not get a wonder video on Friday, so it is possible that this week will be very silent. The only official news we seem to be getting are iPad Civ6 posts, not R&F. :(
 
There is one BIG mystery that hasn't been discussed about lately..

Before announcement of R&F, Ed tweeted pics of himself checking out Berlin Wall and some canal for "research purposes".

There hasn't been any info about canals yet, what do you think it means?

One theory is that it's hinting at Venice. There are various things that might point at an Italian civ (be it unified or not), but I'm not really convinced either way as of yet.
 
Two things:

1) Canals probably meant Venice, which means Italy.

2) I was actually just wondering why there is no canal-style improvement (like forts in Civ4).
 
I'm more or less suspecting a SURPRISE alt-leader announcement over a fully-fledged civ First Look.
 
But the canal portion was previous to the gladiator battle, all scenes seem to be chronological. The canal scene would more likely point to an Ancient or Classical Civ.

I think it points to the Inca or some new canal mechanic or, just as likely, nothing at all.

Or Assyria; but that was just to divert water to the supposed Hanging Gardens "of Babylon" at Nimrud in Assyria.

'SURPRISE' as in not the leaked Indian alternate? The leak looks to be real info; I would be surprised if the ninth leader is anyone else.

I wouldn't be surprised if we get the alternate leader this week, but who it is (whenever he's revealed) won't be a surprise to anyone who haunts these forums.

"Surprise" as in, there not being an official teaser before the release. Even then, the majority of the community don't read the spoilers, I imagine, so it would be a surprise for them as well.
 
Did anybody else notice that the English Wikipedia's featured article of the day is about the Canadian-Indian residential school system... which was just being talked about here? It's also very relevant to the Cree... Hmm...

Much sorcery at work.

I correctly guessed that the first civ in the expansion to have its First Look is Korea because of the Winter Olympics next year. A major Dutch television show made a story about Queen Wilhelmina's inclusion into the game as the leader of the Netherlands. Just last week while I was watching Jeopardy they had a category dedicated to Mongolia.

Something is at work here...
 
Maybe I can just add it as a little reminder to a post about the main topic.
That would be a great compromise.

Unfortunately, it means that your 44 more days post needs to have something added that is pertinent to the main topic.

I don't want to see you get infracted for spam.

Back on topic:

Yes, it's such a coincidence that the Wikipedia article for the Canadian residential schools was featured for the day.
 
Luckily, not everything has been revealed, only the civ on itself, but we don't know anything about it except for the colours, and that it will probably get a unique improvement. We have seen a unique building, a unique district, and two unique improvements so far. So, we have to see one unique district (probably the Bazaar -> Ottomans), a unique building (Georgia?) and two additional unique improvements (Mali? and the Inca?)

The leak gave us more questions than answers at the moment, which is always a good thing.
