Small Observations General Thread (things not worth separate threads)

They probably wanted a civ from southern Africa. They already had one each from West Africa and East Africa

Buganda is in East Africa really. It is on the equator.

It took like a million years.

Not much "comfort" but expansion civs are generally more fun to play in my opinion. That's what I tell myself, one long marshmallow test for those that don't make it in the base game.

I'm still grumpy about city banners.

Your avatar at least has a grumpy resting face, Potworny.

Hi,
Not sure if this was noticed before.
Two Romes at once sound very strange (from GamerZakh video)...

 

[Gori the Grey]

It was mentioned (and lamented) over in the Press Preview thread. That's why I think we need an omnibus thread.

You're right, not so far away from Aksum either.

You can probably force that on the advanced game setup / players.

It's why there's hardly any redwoods left. They were all cut down for hair tonic

You'd think they'd go for someone like the Seljuks if that was the case. I guess there's always the possibility since they are IP they can change, even ages?
Because based off the timeline you would think the Ottomans are the best candidate for the Modern Age in the Middle East.

A IP in one age could easily be a civ in the next.

Russia most OP Modern Civ in the game confirmed.

Good lord @ how badly this undercuts Kong's ability which is based on having Cities over towns. Not going Econ Legacy as Kong is like playing with a handicap.

Also Augustus will hate everyone at the beginning of the age

Seljuks are already an IP, with Nishapur as their city-state

I have a question on these new videos.
Did we see the mentioned Founders edition fog of war skin?
Seems like on some videos fog Of war tiles have gold-ish ting to VII tile

Yes, most of these videos have the Founders fog of war and special Palace.

I certainly hope they can be disabled. I assume so, but you never know...

Well, that's weird that there's two sets of Turks as an IP in the Exploration.

Thank you.
I forgot about the palace.
I recon we should be able to switch it off?
Not a big fan of that palace)))

Quill18 received 100 Production for clearing an IP camp in his part 2 video. I had been wondering if there was an incentive to do so.

Nice to know. Although the main incentive for me will probably be to take away an IP that messes with my urban planning and to train army commanders, especially on the early game.
