So the Red Fort is their wonder huh

That's what I was expecting. The Taj is more tied to Shah Jahan than the Mughals, at least to me.

 

[Ryansinbela]

Also what type of city is Omdurman and Monaco

Yeah the Red Fort is definitely more of a "Mughal" icon, whereas the Taj Mahal has kind of transcended conceptually as a global-wide wonder. If Mughals were only going to get one wonder, this was the obvious split.

Here is the Mughal civ ability, from Gamestar’s video review:

Paradise of Nations
+75% Gold from all sources
-25% for all other yields
+30% Production when building the Red Fort wonder

I was sort of hoping for a Wonder builder, but here they are with a Production malus... maybe they'll have a Tradition that makes up for it and more? One can dream...

Stop it, you might give Firaxis the idea to make Shah Jahan a leader!!! /s

If only I could find the true way to compel Firaxis and bend them to my will.

Victory screens

Ah. There's Big Ben. It was there all along, waiting for us at the end.

Victory screens

Uhh the Eiffel Tower card is giving Ratatouille.

Why are they teasing us with my missing clocktower?

Victory screens

I noticed when the victory conditions first came out how it seemed like each won had been won in the real world by a power over the last century or so, and it's interesting to see them running with that for the first two images - but I do find it a little strange that with how iconically French and British the culture/econ victory screens are, they didn't make the Science victory clearly Soviet

 

[queenpea]

Was definitely hoping the Mughals would be, oh, I don't know, Mughals, and not Civ5/6 India.

Some of the civilizations in VII seem very well developed and thought through while others feel very basic and/or rushed, especially compared with the more complicated civs.

A Modern Age Settler... how useful

 

[Eagle Pursuit]

A Modern Age Settler... how useful

Jump into all those spaces left by Exploration city-states when they inexplicably vanish

Settlement caps are much more generous than I would have expected in the Modern Age as well. I'm surprised by this, too — I would have thought that the settling would be finished by now.

[Hellenism Salesman]

I'm hoping Mughals get a rework at some point, or a mod gives them a more flavorful UI.

I mean, that rocket looks very clearly based on soviet rockets of the Vostok family (as the one that out Gagarin in space) to me. The four tapering boosters arranged around the first stage are a pretty recognizably Soviet design.

There's no flag or national emblem, but the Cultural and Economy victory screens don't, either.

The Cultural and Economic clearly indicate an IRL location though.

The Eiffel tower is a strange symbol for "I spammed a lot of archaeologists."

It's ok--the end of the game in VI was super anticlimactic as well, so it's at least not a downgrade.

It's bit of downgrade, as there's only one picture per victory. Civ 6 showed several pictures.
