So, No Britain?

[CivKirk64]

This might as well be the something special that FXS is trying with Lovelace: can research some select techs from the next era already. Although I can see all kinds of practical problems with this one…

I'm wondering if she has a unique diplomatic action the trade tech or something.
Or perhaps she has increased rate for researching masteries.

They mentioned that she is good at an aspect most people might not think to focus on and adapt their playstyle because of her focus.
I'm thinking not a lot of players will bother with masteries and want to race down the tree, perhaps she encourages crawling down it with ever mastery increased yields maybe for mastery

I'm oh so tempted to point out that, in the wake of Brexit, Great Britain is no longer a major civilization. But it would be rude to point that out, so I won't

Yes, because nothing says 'we're a major civilization' like being under the control of a bunch of faceless bureaucrats in Belgium.

Is it such a terrible thing that i didnt want to pay an extra £30.00 to play them?

Don't know what to tell you man, Aztecs/Mexica look like they are going to be DLC, that's where they are getting me

Not sure if you played Civ 6 or not, but Scotland had Scottish Enlightenment as their unique ability and Highlander units based off of the British Regiments. Robert the Bruce as leader was the only thing about them designed before the union of the crowns.

I think it's more likely that an Exploration England or Exploration Age Scotland goes into Modern Age Great Britain. I don't see this as confirmation of a new 4th age.

Ok whatever we'll agree to disagree - You enjoy your night

That's the price to pay for Maya and Mexico in the base game, I guess.

Which statement?

Sacrificed on an altar so that Mexico could be in hahaha. I totally get it, bright side, they will be more mechanically interesting once they drop.

i’m hoping for exploration age scotland or wales, modern age ireland and antiquity britons to complete the area. a pre-union scotland would be awesome, perhaps with a focus on trade and mining. great britain in civ 7 looks set to at least partially focus on the enlightenment a la civ 6 scotland, who’s design i quite liked despite the critique (and would probably hold up a lot better if it was designed as the kit for a civ 7 scottish scientist leader like Alexander Fleming, Alexander Graham Bell or (i know he’s technically Northern Irish) Lord Kelvin

To me, Britons would be a very strange choice with the Gauls right next door, especially since all of the Britons' uniques would be Roman. Ireland also feels like a strong fit for an Exploration Age focused on relics and missionaries.

I only would need Antiquity Anglo-Saxons and Exploration Ireland, personally. I'd argue for a proper Exploration Age England too, but I doubt that will happen with the Normans already in.

I'd probably go with
Antiquity: Romans, Goths (representing the germanic anglo saxons), Gauls (representing the celtic Britons), Norse
Exploration: Normans, Irish, Danes, maaybe Scots [have leader Aelfred the Great... who favors leading the Goths or Norse in Antiquity, Normans in Exploration, and unlocks Britain]
Modern: Britain
if 4th age: US, EU, Soviet, Australia, Canada


edited to clarify links
Having civs that can hit many area works well. (especially in early europe with the invading and moving in)

I'd like those too, but I wouldn't characterize Goths, Gaul and the Norse/Danes as being from the British Isles.

Danelaw makes the Norse as "from" the British Isles as the Anglo-Saxons.

Sheep are already in the game as well. And actually grow in Great Britain, unlike tea

But to go out of your way to conquer/make colonies of settlements far away just to get that tea resource... sounds so much British!

 

[Thenewwwguy]

I think a lot of casual players do want the same leaders over and over; I think it's more of us history nerds who want to see more variety and novelty in leader selection. (Empress Maude for second English leader, please and thank you, and she doubles as a German leader. )

I can’t lie i just came back to this and I *just* realized that empress maude and empress matilda are the same person (she’d be SUCH a good choice)

Exploration Ireland is Perfect for unique missionary GPs in general.
