Awesome! Looking forward to this. :)
 
Yes! Hope to hear lots of bagpipes!

Feels weird that you yanks must watch them during morning, for me it starts 9PM so I can relax after day's hard work done and enjoy some coffee/beer/haggis while checking out the stream.
(Then again I feel the constant gaze of Putin across the border coveting for my land and luxuries, so maybe we are even)
 
Will they show off how the golf courses help with war weariness?

(Will be happy to hear the music at least, but I remain weirded out by Robert the Bruce leading a happiness-dependent nation into 19th century science bonuses and golfing--hardly the sort of cocktail of bonuses par for the course for a freedom fighter).

I get why you feel that, but then again, we have Teddy Roosevelt chilling out in ancient era, Barbarossa commanding an u-boat fleet etc. .)

I don't mind Roosevelt since America is a very young nation and the game necessarily begins in the ancient era as a series construct. (I have however, in the Ideas and Suggestions forum, suggested that America be relegated to an expansion in future.) I do mind the Holy Roman U-boat and have whined here before about that.

I just wish Scotland (as led by Robert the Bruce) got more bonuses relating to their fights with England. Will anyone encountering him ingame come to realize what he stood for from the game representation of him? Or will the golf and science distract?

I think Scotland is fine; I like their uniques for the most part. I think the chance to give Robert character was through his LUA, Bannockburn. That's the portion that Firaxis really bungled. It's bland, not all that useful, and not that reflective of Robert.

He should be holding a mace in his hands. I certainly think he was a sound choice.... still reeling over golf courses though.
 
So that means they're saving the deep dive into loyalty for last. Wonder what kind of save they have prepped for that one.
 
Imagine playing Civ where your leader changed each time you entered a new era.. then we could all start off with ancient leaders and finish with the latest ones.
 
A mace? Surely you mean a club! :mischief:

Surely you mean a battle axe? Don't you know what he did at Bannockburn?

Sir Henry de Bohun charged him on horseback. The Bruce shifted to the side in his saddle, and brought his axe down on the knight's helmet.

HE SPLIT HIS HEAD IN HALF.

That is epic! :eek:

Obviously, Sir Henry should have quit while he was ahead.
 
Is there anything we don't already know about alliances? We know all the level 1-3 bonuses and that you can only have one of each type.

Strange to deep dive alliances with Scotland. You would have thought they would have used the Cree since they have alliance bonuses (but perhaps they dont' want to livestream the Cree for "reasons")
