[R&F] Rise and Fall Screenshot discussion

[6uho Koe]

I might have missed something or too late to delve in but how do we know the fallen warrior in the picture is Georgian? Is three design Georgian? I think I recalled someone mentioned Byzantine being sieged in that trailer.

The tessellations on the sleeves, the style of hat, and the sword with small buckler are reminiscent of the Khevsureti people who live in the mountains of Georgia.

????? Religious (Unknown, possibly Tourism) from this city ??? adds (production symbol)

So basically, Religious [Tourism?] from the city provides production.

[Edit]: tweaked it more. With 118% Kerning, it lines up perfectly. Tourism seems very, very likely.

Seems pretty niche. Super tundra tiles mixed with production from Religious Tourism. If St Basil's is basically the Tundra Petra, what the heck is the South Pole Station going to be?

Hmmm, also did a photoshop sharpen kind of thing. My read (guess) is:
920 Production for sure.
(Doubles[It's a guess, super overlaid with the trees]) yields of Religious Buildings from this city. [something super blurred] Provides +2 Production to (Holy Site)[guess again, can't see] district [I think this is what I see] and +4 Faith (yield)[guess, should be it] on all Tundra tiles for[why for?] this city. Must be built on tiles adjacent to city center.
+1 Relic slot.

Have East Asian cities always had such colorful evening lights? I have never noticed them before. Very pretty.

Thanks for the screenshots, Eagle.

They always had those lights at night. At least the Chinese cities did, I can't remember the Japanese ones.

Yep. The paper lanterns at night are probably a more compelling reason to play as Qin than any ability he actually possesses.

For some reason, @Zaarin, I am beginning to realize that you strongly dislike Qin. I wonder where I got that thought from.

Ah, CivFanatics... if I read this sort of speculation anywhere else my response would be "not sure if serious" but happily I know better

It would be wonderful if the Tamar of Georgia meme from pre-Civ 6 launch actually ended up leading to a fully-fledged civilization!

Nah, it's more poetic if the Georgia weirdos are eternally disappointed.

What are the chances that Italy would be featured as a civilization in the new expansion? I know there are no Italian city-states in the game so far...

It's not impossible.

 

[Wingednosering]

Can anybody enlighten me as to what the Tamar of Georgia meme actually was? I assume that before Civ VI's launch some speculation got out of hand?

You see, R&F will introduce date palms.

Firaxis devs stated that there would be more female leaders from unrepresented areas, especially those who define eras.

The trailer depicts Georgian archers atop the ramparts.

Therefore, Tamar is confirmed. It helps that her name means "date palm" in Hebrew.

During the development, in one of the videos there was a board showing all leaders (including Jadwiga, who was in DLC and Isabella, who didn't made it in release). The picture was quite small for 2k content police to miss it, but enough for fans to speculate. During this speculations, several parts of the image were identified as Tamar of Georgia by different people, so it quickly became a meme of that thread.

He's a leader I should like as a confirmed wonder monger, but both games I played as him were boring. Plus he looks like a toad. I also think he was a rather safe choice for China compared to some other civs' more interesting leader choices (maybe a little...too innovative in some cases, but...).

Though to be fair, some of us (*hem*) wanted her before she attained meme status.

I never wonder spam as China. To me, they're much more of a science civ.

Now France on the other hand...

Well, I am sorry to hear both of you, but I do spam the heck out of China and it is glorious. It was the first civ I played in Civ VI and I often go back to it. But after reading that first time you called Qin a toad, @Zaarin, I can’t help but agreeing with you, and you sort of have just ruined him for me, but I guess it helps to play him so I don’t have to interact with him.

Now, I haven’t given France a fair chance yet, but I will soon. It helps to be a Mac user. I’ll have more time to finish playing with civs I haven’t yet before the expansion.

Hmmm... what are those patches of plants in the lower left hand corner of the first and third screenshots? A new resource perhaps?
