Gitarja was changed in a patch a while ago iirc.

Nope
Gitarja and Australia were the two known civs to have had a color pass during the development of the expansion pack.
When they were playing as I think Netherlands we noticed new colors.

Seriously. Someone at Firaxis has a serious vendetta against Cyrus.Or else takes Herodotus at face value. Despite contradictory claims.
Cyrus bragged that "A virgin carrying a bag of gold could walk from one end of his empire to the other unmolested"
Today she'd be lucky to make it through Central Park without an escort from a platoon of Recon Marines. What price progress?

Disappointed they didn't do a pre-load for the expansion...the 1.1 GB patch took quite some time to download. Any information on the file size for the expansion? I'm trying to figure out if I should just stay up until midnight to start the download and then go to bed since my download time is probably going to be measured in hours. Oh the pitfalls of buying a house far and away from civilization...

Your fellow European fanatics have the advantage in this situation - we can go to normal sleep from now until R&F unlocks
Yes. I'll go to sleep, wake up, have a breakfast, start downloading R&F from Steam, go to school and when I'll return, I can pick a Civ and play!Your fellow European fanatics have the advantage in this situation - we can go to normal sleep from now until R&F unlocks

Alexander the Great doesn't. That's one good thing about him.Seriously. Someone at Firaxis has a serious vendetta against Cyrus.
No, finally finished an Indonesia game yesterday. Still same colors. Will change with expansion though.

I've just heard from my boss that I'll be having a 5-hour shift tomorrow instead of an 8-hour shift, so that means I have an opportunity to install and peek into the new expansion. However I chose to have this schedule instead:
Tonight: wait for two minutes before the stroke of midnight to do something in this thread. Keep an eye on it.
Tomorrow: Probably listen to the soundtrack before work=>go to work=>get a quick sneak peek before going to bed early for the 2018 Winter Olympics Opening Ceremony
Friday: watch the ceremony=>prepare and go to work=>I get to actually and finally play the game
I tend to schedule things that I like to do.

Apparently they are going to have a "free test drive" weekend thing on Steam.

There's a new package on SteamDB with the description "Free Weekend". Base game only.

I'm surprised this thread is so quiet. Where is everyone? Any guesses as to download size? Predictions of new achievements? Complaints about leader skin color? Or is everyone stocking up on sleep?
(With two young kids, I can't do anything crazy like playing all night, so I'm headed to bed around the time y'all get to start playing. And hanging out here until then.)

I have the opposite but similar problem: my grandparents are here, so I won't be able to play until tomorrow either.
Otherwise, I'd be up until at least two, maybe three, playing. Would probably even make another cup of coffee...

Some folks seem to be playing the base game with the patch. Others like me are getting ready for R&F. There are quite a few things (dinner, feed cat, shower, etc) that need to be taken care of to prepare for an all night gaming session!

Since my cryosleep strategy seems unfeasible, I'm getting a burrito and coffee with friends now. Hopefully by the time I return R&F will be out

I don't mind waiting though.

Yes, for us Macaroons, the wait will be a lot longer - I'll celebrate tomorrow night by starting another Vanilla Game, maybe try out some of the Modded Civs before the R & F download scrambles them...
