Continents and islands : that's the map I've been looking for !

Curious about the Mausoleum, I guess "coastal tiles" means the ones in the sea, not the land coast, but they didn't show them did they ?

Very nice and welcome buffs to admirals, they were really less interesting than merchants, now they bring something more than pillage and warfare.

Now the motto of the month will be : I played Phoenicia before it was cool :D
 
I am happy with nerfing- I think rock bands are far too powerful a force for cultural victories, and should be supplemental to wonders, great works, and parks instead. These changes don't make that happen, but they at least move us in that direction.

I personally would have liked even harsher treatment, though I am probably a bit of an outlier.

I also like the nerf to rock bands. They seem too powerful.
 
Very excited for this update. I'm ready to get back into Civ again. Been on a bit of a hiatus lately playing other games.
 
A skull and a mask.

Mask = Italian civ soon?
Skull = they finally figured out plague mechanics?
Glad I'm not the only one who noticed.

I associated the skull with Hamlet/Shakespeare though... and doesnt that also kinda fit with the mask?

Logical, but how would that relate to the update? Is it hinting at something related to the new multiplayer mode?
 
Still not a single word for modding.
I appreciate you don't mean "world builder" when you say modding, but I still think it's unfair to not count world builder updates in this regard. They're modding tools, and likely one of the most user-friendly and important tools for these kinds of games.

If it's a hint for a future expansion, it could be as simple as the coming expansion focusing on the renaissance or "mid game."

Plagues would also fit into that time frame, I guess.
 
Masks like the one on the shelf are typically associated with the Carnival of Venice. But it's not Carnival season. That's in... February.

a lot of shakespeare's plays are set in italy... especially in the republic of Venice, like othello, romeo and juliet, two gentlemen in verona, the merchant of venice. also if i reckon correctly, in the tempest there's the duke of milan and the viceroy of naples... so perhaps this is the hint?
 
The change to fisheries might turn it into mandatory micromanagement for every city.
 
Denmark (Hamlet) and Venice (Mask)?

I have a hard time seeing the skull associated specifically with Hamlet. It's a universal cultural symbol. You could easily associate it with Mesoamerican cultures or (when piled up) with Timurids.

New civs in an update patch are beyond rare. If they were announcing new DLC I'd say Venice for sure but an update patch is more likely to have a new mechanic vs a civ. I'd have to lean towards the plague disaster mechanic over a new civ at least as far as the skull goes.

The mask has me mystified though.
 
I do hope they make it possible to place start positions in WorldBuilder.
 
Hyped for the Terra map as well.

Overall a great patch from the looks of it, all of these changes were needed except perhaps to the boost of Mausoleum, which was already a fantastic wonder. But I'm not complaining, except I expect this to make it super hard to get because the AI will rush it like the other Petras.

Tbf, if there hadnt been the mask, I probably wouldnt have thought of Hamlet.^^
