Screenshot analysis!

You can't trust these videos to show realistic placement of districts/wonders. For example, in this Kongo video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hvtvjo3fPsQ around ~1:30 we see that Big Ben is not placed next to a Commercial Hub, even though as far as we know it is required to be.

They use "world-builders" to make these videos that probably ignore placement requirements.

Spoiler :

Is that Encampment directly adjacent to the City Center? I thought that was prohibited. Does the river nullify such?

First it is better to use spoiler for a large image. I don't think a river nullifies it. I think there are 3 possibilities:

1. Editor
2. Changed the rule for "encampment not buildable adjacent to city center"
3. It is the encampent of another city (is that possible?)

As additional explanation for 2: since the minimum distance between cities is now 4 (it was mentioned being 5 at some point) it could induce problems with placement of the encampment.

I sense that world builder is strong in such videos....

 

[AriochIV]

It's not adjacent.

 

[KrikkitTwo]

It's not adjacent.

definitely adjacent, probably just world buildered

I just noticed something that I don't think we've talked about before. When you are a suzerain, it says that you can use your builders to improve the tiles of the city-state. That's pretty cool!

Have we had a discussion about the "Your units may enter city-state land"?

It seems to be that that would hamper exploration quite a bit.

1. That might not be a problem until certain eras/points where CS start excluding units

2. Those might be bonuses that you don't need to be a suzerain to get. (senior citizens can run for president.. but you get that ability at 35, you don't have to be a full senior citizen)

Confirmed for a while now. Basically they're invisible buildings that get built when you establish a trade route with another city. They provide extra gold to trade routes going to or going through that city.

I think it's worth mentioning that early road building/ trade routes should be done in such a way as to include the closest cities and city states first so that roads don't circumnavigate in between cities.

I have seen several instances of roads that go one hex away from a city in an effort to connect to a city state that is a bit further away, (and probably a bit more lucrative at the time). But this could make hooking up the Trading Posts more difficult/impossible later on.

Later on you'll be able to have Military Engineers manually put down roads wherever you want.

Bolded interesting parts. Mongols DLC maybe?

 

[Cerilis]

irascibility? pique? was gorgo known to be xanthippe-like? (i could certainly imagine her like that, for the purpose of a civ-leader)

 

[snipperrabbit!!]

Wholesale rates is the give away ! It's definitively the multiple leaders per civ reveal.

 

[Cerilis]

Yeah, also: when greece is his favourite civ as tweeted earlier, then it's like: Yesterday he won a culture victory (with pericles), today he feels like warmongering (with gorgo), right?

Or possibly Arabia...with Trade + military bonuses

What!? I thought it was just trump-bashing when I first read it.

 

[stealth_nsk]

Mongols are very unlikely. No mentions about them in any of the leaks, Genghis as GG, etc. So probably it's something else.

 

[George Abitbol]

Genghis as GG

Genghis is also a GG in Civ5, you can have it while playing the Mongols (it's weird but funny).

Then, why did Pete purposely repeat "mong", the first half of "mongol"?

 

[Magil]

It could also relate to the "mong" in "warmonger" rather than the "mong" in "Mongolian". Not offering an opinion one way or another on Mongol-related shenanigans.
