Very nice. I definitely like wearing jeans, but... luxury??

Jeans are sturdy, comfortable, and are worn by most people in most countries have a pair (this might be a gross exaggeration)
Just 30 years ago, people actually smuggled blue jeans. They were that much of a luxury.

In this video (at about 19:25) you can see the movement of a biplane:

Thanks a lot, air units are very intriguing for me in this new Civ because we hardly saw them for now.
It seems they have chosen to use airplanes in the same way as in Civ:Rev, as a "regular" unit.... at least, almost, according to the video.

This doesn't deserve it own thread but I find it funny and wanted to post it somewhere. Filthy and Arumba started collab video today. They got an awful start, and while Filthy started to explain why, Arumba just re-rolled 
And then they got one of the best starts we've seen so far
The difference between quality of land between those two starts is amazing imo. I am not complaining, I think it is perfectly fine for SP, not so sure about the MP though.
EDIT: Lol they (correctly) moved to settle hill to the southwest, and their start just got even better. I don't think I've seen such a good start so far. 5 wheat (2 of the on floodplains), rice, horses, 2 stone, lux (3rd quarry), solid campus location, harbor, some woods for chopping, and a place for almost any wonder in the game.

Wow, that IS a huge difference! Can you link the video?This doesn't deserve it own thread but I find it funny and wanted to post it somewhere. Filthy and Arumba started collab video today. They got an awful start, and while Filthy started to explain why, Arumba just re-rolled

It is indeed pretty terrible.
1) half the tiles are useless water tiles, water bonus resources are weak.
2) Those 2 specific luxuries improved are 2f 1p 1s, when you want as much food/production as possible early. Horrible balance so far on luxuries, 2f1p1s or 6f on sugar, what would you prefer?
3) No fresh water
3) Not enough hills, most are in the 3rd ring which costs the most to buy. Barely any trees.
4) Useless Tundra up north, which can potentially mean unused land for barbs to continuously spawn from, what looks like desert south.
5) No mountain
All round its not the worst start I've seen, but below average. Would make for a slower game for sure though.

I see I can learn a lot from these two working together, thanks for the link.

You start next to two 2f 2p tiles, and you have Stone, so there's a good chance you can build Stonehenge quickly. You will probably have to buy that tundra tile next to the Stone though to build it on. Barbs shouldn't be much of a problem, as you are America and you get +5 combat strength on your home continent.

Are you sure? Since I am pretty sure its Tea and it is improved by Plantation, which is +1 gold. So it is 2f1g1s, which is really bad for start. I don't think I saw worse starting location. However, it doesn't mean it has to be bad overall, it also depends on neighbors (including City States), locations for expos, nearby Natural Wonders, etc.
Actually, you can learn from Filthy, Arumba seems totally lost. But Filthy really learns quickly.
"Quickly" in terms of Civ6 means by chopping at least one woods. And there's pretty much nothing to chop here.
Yep, those 4p are floodplains.
Compare it to the 2nd screenshot, the one where they move to the hill. Lets see...
5 wheat, of which 4 are adjacent, so an easy triangle formation of farms for +1 food at feudalism. Great early +5 food source (x2) ridiculous.
1 rice
1 marble on hill - no need to learn irrigation.
4 river woods ( great lumbermills 1f4p at machinery or early chop potential )
2 stone, 1 on a hill - solid early production/food source
1 Horse - early 2f3p tile, nice.
Mountains but not to many which is good. Can build a +2 campus on one of the useless desert hills
some plains hills around for mines ( 1f4p at apprenticeship )
can chop the 2 woods to the southwest for a production boost.
I would consider an industrial zone on the grassland hill for +2 production from the quarries with a commercial district next door on the river grassland tile adjacent to the city center, that area to the west stacking district hub, a +2 campus or holy site on the desert hill near the mountain. Seriously nice location for a quickfire start, compared to an below average water start with weak luxury/bonus resources and only a couple of good early tiles. RIP unlucky multiplayer players.
Edit. Indeed about the Tea, - Even worse!

The 2 floodplains wheat should be 4 without farm, 5 with farm, 6 with watermill and 7 with one additional adjacency from Feudalism, right? Easily +10 food once you get bonuses from every adjacent farm...
I agree, it's an awesome start location, one of the best I've seen yet.
Correct
plop 2 farms on the wheat and 1 on the other floodplain and you will get +1 to each at feudalism.
