[R&F] Sneak Peak 24/01

[Eagle Pursuit]

Soooo is it going to be Scotland or The Celts?

Nothing about these hints really screams Celts.

 

[Ondolindë]

Ok, now what? I want more. Yesterday we got a lot.

 

[Disgustipated]

Would have been nicer had we not gotten the Chinese leaks (and the art leak).

 

[Duuk]

Can we all just take a moment to be thankful it's Robert the Bruce and not Mel Gibson?

 

[WillowBrook]

Nice job, fanatics. Five minutes and all three pictures are deciphered.

This seems to point to simply Scotland and not a Celtic blob.

 

[Republic of San Montuoso]

You now, the sentence "A leader must persevere" or something like that is another reference to the story with the spider (for those who didn't read it). Robert the Bruce learned perseverance but watching the spider.
(I'll throw this deduction here for anyone who might have still the slightiest doubt).

 

[Ondolindë]

Nothing about these hints really screams Celts.

Maybe not, but a whisper can be as powerful. The trees and the spider are connected to Mr. Bruce.

 

[DeutschDachs]

Did we solve it? in less than 5 minutes?

Not too hard when we have a 3 choice word bank to pick from at this point

 

[Gabriel Sergio]

Scotland i suppose
Anyway congrats Tamar you're the only one who ain't leaked until your teaser

 

[Dustbrother]

Did I get the spider first? wooohhooo

Being Scottish I would be quite ashamed not to get one of them...

I'm so stoked for Scotland being a Civ! Looking forward to a dope blue and white colour scheme. Time to move on from Japan.

Also I'm sure we have more members familiar with Scottish folklore than we do those familiar with Mapuche culture, even without knowing what to look for.

When I think of Scotland, the "Highlander" comes to my mind as UU. But that would be another "Swordsmen with benefits" of which we have already enough imo (Georgia gets one too). Any other ideas for a unique unit?

Kind of. It was in the trailer, just not as obviously as Korea or the Mongols.

 

[blackcatatonic]

That was too quick! I was expecting to invest more time in this! Now the only mystery remains is if its Inca or Mapuche. Well, and the leader for Zulu, but that's only a small one.

Well since yesterday we've been pretty certain of the last three Civs, just not the order they'd be in. I had a feeling it would be Scotland today because of Burns Night being this week.

So relieved it's the Bruce. Really looking forward to the reveal tomorrow! Hoping for a broch UI as a nod to the Celtic aspect of their history.

Arguably four! It could've been the Celts!

haha yeah it was never going to take more than ten minutes

 

[Ondolindë]

Well, I was hoping it was going to be under a minute.

 

[The Kingmaker]

Yes, first time one of my ancestors made it into a Civ game!

 

[Dustbrother]

It's Scotland I think. There's a story about Robert the Bruce supposedly having learned perseverance by watching a spider spinning its web in a cave.

Part of me might feel not satisfied if we got just Scotland and that didn't happen.

Unfortunately for you, Edward I. Longshanks is one of my (and many other people) far away ancestors.
