Persia or Ottomans? C'mon do the right thing and pick Persia. Cyrus this time would be great.

I hope they call them Iran one day. It's a bit frustrating to *still* have the exonym used even though Iran is now also used in English.

I'm ok with it actually. Both are slightly loaded so it's a bit of a wash either way.
Tomyris of Scythia makes it in? Then Cyrus HAS to be there lol.
 
I noticed in one of the videos that the Theocracy government type gives a bonus to "theological combat." Do we have any information on that feature? I saw a civfanatics thread located what looked like missionary-on-missionary combat...

As I understand it, there are multiple religious units. Besides missionaries there are also Apostles who you can use to add more beliefs to your religion or can be used like missionaries. They also have an Inquisition ability. I believe this is where the religious combat ability comes in but really its not clear.

Ultimately I believe it will be a way to neutralise opposing religious units and reduce their influence in cities without declaring war

Makes you wonder what Religious Victory is. Is it making everyone follow your religion?

I would find it interesting, if Civilization would feature unbalanced Non-Player civilizations to represent the monsters of history. They would represent the barbarians of a more modern times, which you can't simply kill as you plesee and not want to directly work with. Think of Stalin Hitler, Sadam Hussein or Kim Jong-un.
 
I really hope that UI is still some sort of rushed placeholder-ui that will be polished before release.

There are things like the sliding panel animations that look really cheap.


For the rest: give it to me!
 
Lol Ed Beach fucked up on stream and opened the civilopedia and revelead most of the remaining leaders/civ

Harald Hardrada (Norway probably)

Gorgo (Sparta)

Philip 2 (Spain)
 
Almost all the leaders just got accidentally revealed on the livestream as Ed Beach opened up Civilopedia.

Gandhi
Gilgamesh
Gorgo
Harald Hardrada
Mvemba a Nzinga
Pericles
Peter
Phillip II
Saladin
Trajan

Spoilered out the ones not announced yet.

Edit: ^ What Kurto posted.
 
The idea of both Gorgo and Pericles being on that list is interesting. I guess they're doing Sparta and Athens as opposed to a unified Greek civ

This drives me so crazy in Civ V, and makes trying to establish a religion all but useless on the higher difficulties. The way the AI just spams missionaries and prophets into your territory is insane. Does telling them to stop via the "Discussion" menu ever actually work?

Whoa 3 Greek civs?

Sparta (Gorgo)
Athens (Pericles)
Macedonia (Phillip II)

Philip II of Spain ;p

Multiple leaders seems a very likely possibility, Gorgo and Pericles are right next to each other on the portrait charts, meaning they both represent Greece. It's going by Alphabetical order.

Isabel is also on the portrait charts next to Philip, she may be a DLC for Spain.
 
Well, there's the fact that the Barbarossa's leader page has a "Civilizations" section as opposed to a "Civilization" section. I think that lends credence to the theory that Leaders and Civs aren't as tightly bound as they were in Civ V.

If true (that multiple leaders per Civ/multiple Civs per leader are possible), I'm looking forward to the ultimate mix-n-match mod that opens it completely. Teddy leading Scythian hordes. Montezuma building Egypt. So many options!

I think someone pointed out that that exists in 5 as well for one of the leaders. Still I think that there was another passage that said "unit xxx while country yyy is lead by dude zzz" which points the same direction. It seems to be highly likely at this point.
 
I saw the screen shot first and got worried Rome wasn't in. Phew almost panicked, though I couldn't imagine them not being included.

Trajan is an interesting choice for leader.

Multiple leaders pls!

Interesting to see the Mongols aren't represented on the list. DLC prolly?

The Mongols have definitely been replaced by Scythia and Tomyris. I can't believe they've done this. Hope they'll bring back Chinngis Khan in DLC, I'll try out the Scythians.

They certainly need to bring them back eventually. Incomplete civ experience without the Khans!

They did the same stupid shit in Civ V with Shaka and eventually brought him back for the DLC.

Some leaders just need to be in Civ by default!
 
Do we know if that list is complete? Well of Souls says the game is shipping with 18 + 1 (Aztecs) civs, which would make all these names everything we're getting at release (or all except one, if Gorgo and Pericles are both Greece)

So
Norway
is a new Civ too right?

I seriously hope
Norway
isn't yet another Viking civ.

Based on the rumored leader, I think you're going to be disappointed.
Harald Hardrada comes at the very end of the "viking age" (about 100 years after Harald Bluetooth) but he is considered a viking king, and it's very likely that he's filling the viking archetype the same way that Tomyris fills the steppe nomad archetype.

He could have some fun flavor text. He traveled as far as Constantinople, and he died attempting to claim the English crown.
