Even by process of elimination, we can see Spain. The building is European and the ship is also. The Normans have been covered, and no other European civ has been indicated for Exploration. So that leaves Spain.

Fingers crossed for Isabella.

Now that it is strictly not a Spanish leader, and altough Charles I / V is a good candidate as well, I would suggest Alphonse X (of Castille). Known as a lawmaker and a cultured scholar might fill a non-traditional slot for iberian representation.

If they veer into that category for Spain/Iberia, there are a lot of interesting choices. El Cid. Abd Al-Rahman (I or III), Torquemada, Bartolome de las Casas, etc.

That being said, I suspect they will bring back Isabella.

From the Steam page:

Four natural wonders, reflected in our site FAQ! -- I'll see if we can get Steam updated to reflect

Thank you, then you should also check the translations on the official site FAQ, because there doesn't seem to be a lot of "natural" there either (at leastnot in French, and other people had checked on others languages too). That made some of us think that the "natural" was the typo and not the intent.

Hi Sar! I don't really participate in live streams, so I hope it's ok if I leave some questions here?

- Do units and/or cities get removed or downgraded during an Age Transition? We've seen some Legacy Options which imply this but haven't seen a really good look at how your empire looks different from one Age to the next, so it would cool if we could see what that looks like. Maybe go through an the Antiquity-Exploration Age transition and show what practical changes happen as opposed to aesthetic?
- Could we get a glimpse of an Exploration Age crisis?
- Could we see some more details on Independent Powers? Like do they have unique bonuses? Or just flat bonuses based on type? Can they conquer and hold more cities than just their initial city?
- I'm really, really interested in what the Civilopedia looks like - any chance Ed might open it up and show us some sample entries?

 

[The_J]

I'm looking at the silhouette and am thinking Toku.
But maybe that's just me.

 

[Mazisky]

I asked many times since the announcement but never got a reply.

Is there a day night cycle in Civilization 7 like it was in Civ 6? Hopefully one day I will get this replied.

 

[CivKirk64]

Can't wait to watch this. I'll be at work when it goes live, but I prefer getting home and sticking it on, get it on the tv, I can pause, it put my feet up get some popcorn.
Can't wait to see what they have in store.

Big week next week

Two civs! We're eating good! Does "reveal" mean brand new, or just "hasn't gotten a game guide?" Have we seen that wording before? Majapahit/Indonesia, Hawaii, and Inca are the only speculated civs that haven't been mentioned by name yet this Age, so it's possible we'll be left with just one more. Or perhaps we'll get a Modern name when the age ends, like the first stream? Showing off the transition was an advertised feature of that one, though, so I wouldn't bet on it. Gah! The wait has already began to drive me mad! I must drive it from my mind til the day of, lest the suspense kill me.

 

[dagriggstar]

Question - Is what causes the AI to make decisions more impacted by leader choice or civilisation choice ?
For example if I force a militaristic leader to pick Aksum will that leader still try to conquer everything as their number one priority ?

 

[queenpea]

Who do we think the civ and leader reveals will be?

 

[Krikkit1]

I'm going say
Civs
Spain +Hawaii and they will focus on the Naval +"Distant Lands" (New world) mechanics
and either Isabella or a Hawaiian leader

 

[Siptah]

Who do we think the civ and leader reveals will be?

Spain and Isabella. The announcement picture looks European. Although I hope for a different leader, Charles V. to be precise. The emperor who inherited/created the empire in which the sun never sets would be a good fit for the exploration era - and he would work for many civs/unlocks. Alternatively, someone like Enrique o Navegador would be a good leader that I could see happening.

I would love to see Hawaii or Inca.

 

[The Fanatical]

Yeah, it will be Isabella I of Castile. We have yet to see a female leader in the Exploration Age.

The silhouette doesn’t really say Isabella to me?
