[GS] Sneak Peak 18-12

[Giskler]

But we didn't know the llama was a hint for this week. Just a hint that the Inca are in the game.

Except that they've been changing the objects on the shelf to hint the next civ.

 

[Siptah]

What's something Christmas and traditionally Swedish?

I guess that the Inca will be the last reveal for this year.

Also: Please use Quechua name, please use Quechua name...

 

[Leyrann]

“The new studio setup is not a hint”, they said.

No one believed that for a second.

 

[Mr Jon of Cheam]

And I spy a Scottish flag in the bottom right!

Nailed it.

There's one more next week. Chandragupta was revealed December 27th for R&F.

Pretty sure it only referred to the Christmas decorations. And that's why Sarah spent the last several days trying to convince her Twitter followers that llamas are Christmassy.

27th =/= 25th I‘d say. But maybe I‘m wrong

 

[Isengardtom]

I’m going to be contradictory and say this is Acquitaine France

So Eleanor
Why
* spread out female leaders more
* last year India’s alternate was the 4th leader as well and they will go on a break after this week

No more reveals until jan 7 I believe

They can always delay it and post it on a Thursday since there's definitely not going to be a livestream until the second week of January.

Wasn't it Sid's Railroads before?

I'm convinced there was a Canada hint in the Maori livestream. We just haven't caught it.

 

[ChocolateShake]

Going to stick with Sweden lol, since they're hinting so much towards the Inca

The tweet specifies "We have a NEW leader and civ to reveal" which makes me think it won't be an alternate leader.

Sid Meier's Pirates & Railroads games to hint Canada since Sid is Canadian.

 

[ArallanKing]

Whilst we're in chaos cuz we picked wrongly again this week, Sarah is probably laughing in the studio reading this thread.

And what was Thukydides a hint for?

 

[footslogger]

It's Phoenicia, I was right, hooray! For the sceptics among you, just look at the lower cloud formation which clearly shows the outline of a phoenix (no way that's any kind of natural cloud formation), which appropriately arises in the rays of the sun. Etymologists are not of one mind but some think the words 'phoenix' and 'Phoenicia' are cognate. QED. (Modestly takes a bow and retires).

 

[Stringer1313]

What does reddit say? Since thus far they have always been right, and CivFanatics wrong

 

[CPWimmer]

Took us all of 5 seconds to get this one. About time Inca came, since I've been voting for them to be revealed for a few weeks now.

What do you mean? Where/when was that seen/mentioned?
