"Civ and Leader"

Not Eleanor, obviously .

The color pallette is warm. Probably Mali, but could be Phoenicia.

 

[ArallanKing]

"First new civ and leader", what does that even mean?

 

[Siptah]

So the wording makes it clear that it isn't Eleanor.

Civ-wise, it could be Phoenicia or Sweden, I think. I would rule out Mali. Ottomans are a possibility, as the quality suggests it is a very small snippet, but the other two seem to fit better.

Edit: after adjusting the brightness of my monitor, I see that it isn't a dome like structure with something on top, but a rectangular one. So Mali suddenly goes from "ruled out" to "probably" in my book.

"First new civ and leader", what does that even mean?

First reveal of the year 2019. They precised that.

On Twitter, Mali is the favourite. Mud mosquee vib, they say.

 

[bite]

I don't know but I am getting a mud mosque vibe from it

 

[anandus]

The top of Sankore University, maybe?
Edit: No, don't think so. Still, got a Timbuktu-feel.
What's this other, wide, building called. With three towers, I believe?
Edit:
Djenne mosque of course! Duh!

 

[Ma2ge]

Me too.

 

[mondetactica]

Is that Mali or not?

 

[CivLuvah]

mud mosque vibe

The next day:
*BOOM*
Kristina leads Sweden in Civilization 6: Gathering Storm

 

[Uberfrog]

Well, it's a resounding "meh" from me...

I have to say these obscure sneak peeks leave me pretty cold. They may have been easier, but I preferred R&F's mini-quizzes, as they felt like more than reading far too much into a vague shape or colour palette. I'll be back tomorrow for an actual announcement .

 

[humble serf]

The image resolution is especially low this time, which means it's probably a much smaller portion of the overall image. My guess is we're looking at the very tip of a mosque dome.

Mali seems more likely (I still think Ottomans will be last in order to build last-minute hype), but aesthetically it looks more Ottoman to me.

But it's only a small portion of the image, so I'm probably just looking at it wrong. My guess is Mali.

 

[Republic of San Montuoso]

*BOOM*
Kristina leads Sweden in Civilization 6: Gathering Storm

Could be. The purpled sky could be on the sunset near the polar circle. Some swedish monuments (which one? Dunno, but I think they might exists) could have some silly tiny domes, I guess.

 

[Giskler]

Mali.

 

[RohirrimElf]

Will there be a leader reveal every week tuesday till launch?

 

[anandus]

I'm going for the Djenne mosque. One of the towers. The spike on top and the 'step' below, with a square base.

I agree entirely! These sneak peeks are really quite boring.

Still, I agree with the prevailing opinion that this seems to be Mali.

 

[Willie5000]

Honestly even if it’s such low resolution that roof looks too much like a dome for a mud brick mosque. I gotta go with the Ottomans but I expect to be wrong.

 

[MrRadar]

Wow, that's a lot of... sky. With a strange feeling of some sand hanging in the air.
I don't like sand. It's coarse, rough, irritating, and it gets everywhere.
Have you had your share of (chocolate) coins recently, btw?

 

[SammyKhalifa]

Not to be the person that says everything is about the Ottomans, but . . .

that looks like Ottoman to me
