[R&F] Rise and Fall General Discussion Thread

[K4wa]

I already miss ma boi Suleiman and Mansa Musa

The reason why the Ottomans and the Inca were assumed to be assured was because the Maya and the Byzantines were out-- and how could they all four be in the same pack??

I still think that's kind of the case, which depresses me, mostly on the Inca/Maya front. Perhaps we *will* end up seeing uncharted DLC-on-DLC fronts being forged.

As long as the DLC civs don't use any mechanics from the expansions you can release move DLC civs/leaders for base game just fine. Like Mongolia for instance doesn't use any new features.

One thing I am really curious about: will the golden age saturation and dark age darkening effect be applied only when the game environment time is set to around noon and there is no animated day/night cycle?

The relationship between Mvemba and Shaka will be the stuff of legend...

"Are you here to share your enlightenment?"
"I'm here to share my Impi with you."

 

[Ondolindë]

I feel the same way you feel, man. But, maybe they will be good. Be positive, I guess.

As for the Christmas hats, after the FULL DETAILS video and the Celts and Zulu increasing probabilities, that is all I am seeing. I want to go back to the Holidays when things seemed, well, more hopeful. On a side note, I wished they would have this emoji with the Cuzco flag colors.

I doubt the Mapuche will be very aggressive except in defending themselves but I do hope they’ll take the annoying, arrogant Pedro down a peg or two.

If they do end up being the cultural one they're going to take all of his great people away.

I think R&F specific DLC is fine.

 

[Lord Xavius]

Since Chandragupta has the "hates neighbors" agenda, what could Shaka have?

Steam has the capability to require prereqs, so not an issue.

Also:

Calling it early: Wallace will be wearing a kilt, playing bagpipes, and will say, "There can be only one!" when he declares war.

Hates everyone?

Always war...activated!

The opposite of Victoria, probably: hates foreigners who settle on his home continent.

That would have been a great Agenda for Ranavalona I of Madagascar....oh well...

 

[clapyourhands]

Somewhat looking forward to Atomic era Scotland the Brave/Flower of Scotland playing as spaceship parts get launched into the sky...

“Hates being left out of Civ games for more than a year.”

You never know, the composers could've chosen a more obscure Scottish song for their theme.
Like what they did with the Netherlands...

I say we lack a leader that likes when you conquer cities. Alexander and Genghis were perfect for that. Eventually, one became Gorgo 2.0 and the other one has an agenda about horses

The only way it could be worse is if they chose Rowdy Roddy Piper as the leader, though that may be awesome instead.

Luckily you caught yourself, because that would, in fact, be awesome.

That would work better with Lautaro I think.

I don't generally play TSL, but I love the idea of Dom Satan sandwiched between Montezuma and Lautaro.

Hates civs that exist.
