[GS] Sneak Peak 07/01

[SammyKhalifa]

I don't know where you found that picture but it looks a HECK of a lot like the sneak peek image. Though, it's not lit in the sneak peek if that's what it is, but I wouldn't call that overwhelming evidence that it's not a lighthouse.

The part that is catching my attention on the sneak peek is the little gap in the structure where you can see the sky/sea behind it. On the right of the structure, at the middle section. It looks like there's a thin vertical beam holding the structure up. What could that be?

I thought it looked like a window.

 

[CivLuvah]

Not for anything...but this is a total waste of time.

Where's the old symbol hints when you need them?

 

[ChocolateShake]

may sound crazy, but for me this kinda look like a boat and not a mosque tower..

I do see a boat now too, but I can't make sense of it being one... what an image

On a side note, someone posted @Giskler's post about the leak in the twitter replies!

I suspect this is a Malian home in the background, it fits the architecture more than anything else I can think of at the moment.

 

[Ziad]

Yeah this one was mean...

 

[WillowBrook]

No clue here, but I think these teasers are more interesting as teasers than the R&F hints - those were too easy. On the other hand, if we didn't have the leaked list, I would definitely complain that these were too difficult.

Looks far too much of a deep blue for the likes of Mali. I would imagine this is on the waterfront somewhere, so my guess would be Carthage.

Yeah, gonna have go with ... useless picture. Compared to the others there's just nothing here. You know it's going to be a tiny tip of some far off building, that when zoomed out will bear no real relationship to the overall shape.

Maybe, it's on purpose so that the reveal will actually be a surprise for a change?

Going with Mali. Definitely get an African or Middle Eastern vibe from that picture.

Literally describes Phoenicia

And I would have went with that if not for the clue 2 1/2 weeks ago.

The case might just be that the PR team is deliberately messing with us, for the sake of building up hype.

Business as usual, then.

 

[Bechhold]

Seems to be Mali.

 

[Alexander's Hetaroi]

I guess it could be a lighthouse as well. Not seeing any indication that its a mast of a boat though.

 

[Ferocitus]

It's the top of Brunelleschi's Dome.
You can safely bet the rent on Florence and Lorenzo the Magnificent!
Nice to have you on board, Larry.

 

[Cerilis]

They look like pagodas to me, for some reason

That was actually also my first thought, if only something south-east asian had been in the leak!

It looks less like the mast of a boat to me, than it does a head-on shot of a surfaced submarine.

But I'm still putting my casino chip on Mali.

 

[Rayyy]

It also looks like two people on top of an elephant.

It also looks like two people on top of an elephant.

I can see it.
Or two cypress trees behind a house on top of the rocky hill.

 

[Guandao]

I have no idea what Civ this blurry image belongs to.
