[R&F] Rise and Fall Screenshot discussion

By the way, still no sight of railroads, rail tracks, locomotives, trains, you know, that sort of things? Not even a whiff?? (minecart tracks don't count)

So sad. D:

I'd also like to know what the canal research was about in the end.

If the blue dome wonder is something pre-islamic in a now islamic area, it may have minarets added to it today. Those wouldnt show if the model is made after the original building. Just a thought.

Firaxis likes to add Minarets, see Hagia Sophia ;-)

I... have never build that in civ6 so far, tbf.

It's not completely wrong, but I think I know most famous buildings of Samarkand and it's none of those. Definitive identification might come from the dome. It's not quite done how it is usually done in Iran, Iraq or Usbekistan. But I can't find a building with that dome.
It wouldn't rule out the Bayt al-Hikma. We don't know how it looked. However, I wouldn't design it with walls like a fortress, since it was standing in the middle of a city.
I'm still favoring a caravanserai - or a strange monastery.

A monastery is a good possibility--probably not Georgian or Armenian, as they have a very distinctive architectural style. But perhaps something pre-Islamic in Iran, Turkey, or along the Silk Road...

It's not terribly useful, but it is the prettiest wonder in the game IMO.

Mhrm... or maybe it's something northwestern indian? I was just looking at Tughlaqabad Fort, and though I thought it wouldnt fit because of not being coastal and how it looks today, it has a rather large ruined part and the style wasnt that off, so maybe there are more places with that style.

The domes are obviously a Middle-eastern design element, but the crenelations make me think European. I feel like it might be some kind of crusader castle designed to protect a harbor. Either that, or a feitoria.

Krak des Chevaliers is the first thing that comes to mind, but it's definitely not that. Or if it is, they got way off track.

yeah my first thought was a Mughal fort or something like that. They tend to have gardens and maybe that thing on the right could be baths...

But then the more I thought about it, pretty sure it's a feitoria. It's basically a fort plus a dock.

Another thing, when you zoom in on the dome, the top looks more like a christian cross to me.

 

[Ondolindë]

I wouldn't quite go that far yet...

Anton Strenger tweeted this when asked about Ed and his expansions' work:

"Cheers, man! And yes, Ed was similarly lead for Gods & Kings and Brave New World. But he's very much still involved in Civ VI and in Rise and Fall!"

 

[Eagle Pursuit]

Anyone notice the Spec Ops unit hanging out at the airport in the Russia screenshot?

Also, it appears that there is a Unique Monument or maybe just a regional varient of the Monument in the first screenshot.

 

[Phoenix1595]

What's throwing me is that clearly the building has a dock, so it isn't a landlocked wonder. Samarkand and the Krak wouldn't fit, but good guesses. Ed must have created the most obscure wonder on this one.

I wondered about that as well. I really hope it's regional, both because Korea and Mongolia would both be strange choices for monument replacements and just because that's something that should have been done all along.

I tend to agree, but we will need to see more screenshots of cities from different places to determine if there are other variants of Monuments.

As it is now, the other screenshots are both European with the same Monument style.

Keep this in mind when looking for new stuff in these photos.
NEW LEADERS AND CIVS
Nine new leaders and eight new civilizations are introduced. Each brings unique bonuses and gameplay, as well as a total of eight unique units, two unique buildings, four unique improvements, and two unique districts.
NEW GLOBAL CONTENT
Eight new world wonders, seven natural wonders, four new units, two new improvements, two new districts, fourteen new buildings, and three new resources have been added.

Or it could be an alternative monument.

I never understood, I feel that we could have a number of first tier buildings, so far Religious Buildings and Stable/Barracks are the only "choice" to go, no alternates,

The fact we're getting 14 buildings, indicates we may be getting much more options. City Center could be one of them.

The two unique districts are probably the uniques from the new districts, so the governor's district and a diplomacy district? (is the second new district already known?).

The entertainment complex on water could also be a unique district, but it seems not since i thought that screenshot was the American one, and aside of the uu's, the eight new uniques are all reserved for the new civs, what also means that the new leader most likely would only have a new leader ability that needs to differentiate her of himselves from the other leader.

 

[Guatenadian]

I imagine that the blue-domed wonder/improvement could be Central Asian. It immediately reminded me of Uzbek architecture.

The architecture and turqoise-like color seem to me typically Iranian or Central Asian. But the explicit use of the color seems to be like a unique district. So Feitoria as UD for a harbor built on land maybe?
