Queen of the Nile
Respects civilizations with a strong military, but dislikes civilizations with a weak military.

I agree with the filename

It's not just America, England and Norway get a leader unit, too. I guess they just wanted some space to allow for some of the multiple leaders to differentiate themselves more if need be.

Perhaps they were planning on giving every leader their own UU, but ran out of time? Then forgot to take Teddy's away?
Honestly I have no clue, it seems like an oversight to me. I would definitely like more uniques for each civ though.

Probably because without the UUs those three are really kind of mediocre.

When is Teddy going to show off his Big Stick in SFM?

Greece is incredibly strong early game with the extra wildcard bonus, they're almost Rome tier. The ability to not have to choose between God King and the +1 production is amazing

I've noticed some extra touch-ups in today's videos over even some of the later First Look videos, though I don't think it changes much for the actual animations.

I gotta say, I've really warmed up to the art style after originally hating it

WTF is going on with the cursor?

When they first revealed it, I went 'oh boy, a fucking civ mobile game' but now I don't mind it, especially after seeing it in motion a lot. It looks bad in some places, like with forests, but good in other places, and I care a lot more about gameplay in video games, I've never been a huge stickler for graphics.

>Horde
>hates surprise wars

Seems like a lot of the Youtubers don't like to keep it still and out of the way.

These "agendas" look like garbage, they will only make AI act retarded in the long run.

Can't wait to raid.
Fucking Haraldr Harðráði.

>Harald became extremely rich during his time in the east, and secured the wealth collected in Constantinople by shipments to Kievan Rus' for safekeeping (with Yaroslav the Wise acting as safekeeper for his fortune). The sagas note that aside from the significant spoils of battle he had retained, he had participated three times in polutasvarf (loosely translated as "palace-plunder"), a term which implies either the pillaging of the palace exchequer on the death of the emperor, or perhaps the disbursement of funds to the Varangians by the new emperor in order to ensure their loyalty. It is likely that the money Harald made while serving in Constantinople allowed him to fund his claim for the crown of Norway. If he participated in polutasvarf three times, these occasions must have been the deaths of Romanos III, Michael IV, and Michael V, in which Harald would have opportunities, beyond his legitimate revenues, to carry off immense wealth.
Absolute madman.

HOLY FUCK MY SIDES

How is it possible to be as sexy as Marbozir? I watch his stream with a constant hard-on, and I'm not even gay.

Also, Civ 6 looks really great visually, and I was one of those people who were really worried about the art style.

(Loyal Ally?)
(Likes Civs that join him in war?)

yeah the filthy stream is pretty good

I missed the part where he explained spies. How do they work in VI now?

filthyrobot's stream
was like 10ish minutes ago

I dunno, I see it making it easier to be bro-tier with the civs that you want to be bro-tier with with actual goals to work towards instead of just "The AI has now decided it dislikes you after hundreds of centuries, DENOUNCED"
Granted that might still happen, but we'll just have to wait and see.

Pure fucking sex just look at this alpha male
>he's right next to Saladin who has a science bonus midgame
PUSSY ASS NERD BOUT TO GET FUCKED UP

youtube.com/watch?v=HXVc050Nank

build like unit
once completed, select city to infiltrate
after a few turns, select mission
missions include better spying efficiency, diplomatic interaction level increase, or stealing great works of art
can be captured and you can buy them back by trading. dont know if they can be executed or not

That's all the main .webms and some extras from today, I hope that helped, Anonymous.

Now, I want to bring some attention to something curious:

arstechnica.com/gaming/2016/09/civilization-civ-6-preview-hands-on/

rockpapershotgun.com/2016/09/29/civilization-vi-brings-the-series-back-to-its-best/

We've heard for a while that the vanilla game has 18 civs (Aztecs, while being available at launch for pre-orders and free for everyone, are still a DLC). Plus, the leaked Civilopedia leader list seems to corroborate that number. However, both of these articles say that the press copy of the game only has ten out of twenty civs.

Could it be that Poland is going to make launch, too? Does this mean that both Greece AND Spain will have their alternate leaders in the vanilla game?

>MISSILE SILO IMPROVEMENTS
I am fully erect.

The game looks bad. The worst change is the Civ leaders. They look like shit. In 4 and 5 they actually looked like people. In this they look like bad caricatures. Not even cartoony like Civ Revolution or Rev 2. Just plain fucked up ugly.

...

>Early game
>fun, exploration, making crucial decisions
>late game
>clicking next turn endlessly while waiting for your victory
why does late game suck so much boys

Well, that's your opinion, and I tolerate it.

Firaxis love him since the bug from the first game, and him become the series "mascot" ,there are not dropping gandhi

The Gandhi meme is so fucking bad

they're only dropping nukes

...

When's SFM porn?

>Maybe we'll get someone else with multiple leaders.
I want the Mughals.

With her? fucking never I hope

why do I find all civ 6 female leaders sexy as fuck?

Legendary leaders when
I want one lead by Karna

With her? As soon as possible I hope.

Because you have shit taste.

I want Yu, the Engineer.

Patrician tier taste my friend

I want Indira Gandhi.

did you hear VIctoria's voice? fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck

especially when she throws a tantrum on her denouncement

I really hope SFM producers step it up this time
I want to see Tomyris get mounted by a horse, and Cleopatra whoring herself to Roman officials

Too modern, I'd rather have Chandragupta, Ashoka, Aurangzeb, Shah Jahan, or some other rulers who ruled over large parts of India or even its entirety.

Well, technically she's already been a leader once in the series.

But then, Civ 2 also had Shakala Zulu, Amaterasu, and Ishtar.

I want to see Tomyris go full Amazon position on a dude.

Amaterasu and Ishtar are based as fuck though

bnp

Is there a GOOD first look video for civ VI yet?
