[R&F] Sneak Peak 9/01

[Tomice]

Long time lurker, but I wanted to comment since I found something that just further confirms Georgia.

The depiction of the lion shown in the second image is clearly taken from a painting by a Georgian painter named Niko Pirosmani.

This finally confirms it - just look at the sword! good job!!!

I think it's possible that the Zulu are in, based off of that leak, but not the Celts. That said, I'm skeptical of that much.

people will be rioting if Georgia are in and the ottomans or Inca are out

I have a lovely mental image of rioting Civfanatics! I'm betting the Ottomans will be a post R&F DLC.

"kasteti", although sounds quite Georgian is actually French word meaning "head breaker". I assume those things were called somehow else originally.

"Casse-tête" literally means head breaker but usually it means "puzzle". And yes it sounds a lot like "kasteti".

Or today's date if you are putting it up at 1am

What kind of sword is that in the first clue? That seems like it could be important.

Looks like Georgia.

January 9th. However I use 1/09.

Most obvious choice of leader...David connects to the Lion of Judah symbolism.

Edit: Hope not another Female leader in Tamar as a political message.

Yes, David the Builder achieved a lot, but actually Tamar is more well-known person outside of Georgia.

I think that leak is garbage.

I certainly hope so. I'll be honest and say I'd love Scotland but I can wait until expansion 2. And please no blob Celts!

It's a delayed orthodox christmas present?

About the lion:

It's from a Georgian painter:

Thanks for posting this. Between the lion and last week's "bison," I was worried that Firaxis's animal artists needed a bit more sketch session time at the local zoo. I can see the lion is a stylized depiction, not a real one. Thanks!

Though it would be a great troll job if they put in Georgia but not the leader people have been going on and on about.

What are these leaks everyone is talking about?

 

[bite]

Let it be known that one among you prophesied the coming of Tamar, before the rains of November in the deep dark uninviting Australian summer he sent word, and now in the even darker Australian second summer his words have come true for all to see

Or today's date if you are putting it up at 1am

Ohhh, you're on THAT side of the world.

I think I liked it better when I thought it was a typo.

Side note: Why is this listed as "9/01"?

Because Bite is posting from the future. Something about his supernatural condition.

 

[Stringer1313]

sorry for all the dumb questions. I am aware of the Chinese leak (youtube video revealing Cree) but what is this other apparently less reliable "leak" folks are referring to? A leak that says Celts and Zulus are in (I seriously hope not)

 

[Pythakoreas]

I hope Georgia is not a ruse to have Stalin come back from Civ1 as an alternate leader for Georgia.
