Oh boy, leader screens that take up the entire screen and pop up unannounced. Just what I wanted.

I'm not certain, but I think it's been said that they do not just pop up, and that they are more of a mandatory message that you must click on before the turn ends. If that is correct, then the only reason they popped up is because we were watching a prerecorded demo.

Stonehenge: needs to be built adjacent to stone, on flat land. +2 Faith, a free Great Prophet, and acts as a Holy Site in allowing a religion to be founded. Terracotta Army (+2 Great General Points?) Venetian Arsenal: needs to be built adjacent to the coast and an Industrial Zone district. +2 Great Engineer Points. Receive a second naval unit each time you train a naval unit. Civics shown: Military Discipline: +5 strength vs barbarians for melee units Maritime Industries: +100% Production towards Ancient and Classical naval units Retainers: +1 Amenities for garrisoned units Survey: Double experience for recon units Diplomatic Charismatic Leader: +2 points towards earning Envoys Diplomatic League: First Envoys to a City State count as 2. Economic Caravansaries: +2 Gold from trade routes Colonization: +50% production towards Settlers God King: +1 Faith, +1 Gold in the capital Land Surveyors: 20% price reduction for purchasing tiles Meritocracy: +1 Culture for each specialty district Urban Planning: +1 Production in all cities Wildcard Literary Tradition: +2 Great Artist Points per turn Revelation: +2 Great Prophet Points per turn Inspiration: +2 Great Scientist Points per turn Barracks and Stables are mutually exclusive within a Military Encampment district. There's more to religion v. religion play: at least 3 units, including Apostles, Inquisitors, and Missionaries in addition to Great Prophets. Great Prophets are not generated through Faith production (though can still be bought with Faith). Looks as though most if not all Wonders have some kind of building restriction; they're not entirely prohibitive, but it might be difficult to account for many of the requirements in a single city, even beyond other space concerns.

I'm starting to really like the wonder requirements. Even though within 2 weeks we will be able to look at our staring position and plan ahead for what we want, but that's unavoidable. The good news is that you'll only be competing against 1-2 other civs at maximum for the wonder. I really think that VI is going to give us some variety.

Tall cities definitely look to be less of a thing because of how the Districts and Wonder systems work. ICS or wide play in general, however, might be more of a thing though depending on the downsides of adding another city as more real estate means more districts and more cities and presumably culture means more cities.

If each city takes up a huge chunk of space it probably won't be ICS levels.

Chichen Itza is a city. The correct refutation was "It's called Borobudur".

I like those wonder requirements. It forces you to make choices instead of building EVERYTHING. It WOULD suck sometimes if you had a perfect spot for a wonder, but didn't have the ability to build the wonder because of lack of say, desert tiles or some such. BUT THEMS THE BREAKS.

Terrain requirements for Wonders is just another handy way to decentralize your cities and civilization - got to spread out those wonders not just around the city, but to different cities lest you choke down the one that's building them all.

I'm kind of surprised that folks have an issue with Cleopatra's animation. I think she looked really great and I hope we see more leaders with that level of expressiveness.

In the E3 video Ed repeated a statement from the May event about how people really love playing on Real Earth maps and that they've chosen the civs this time to try to better accommodate that mode (he mentioned South America specifically last time, I think). He said there would be 18 civs on release, including a few that have never before appeared in a civ game. There sure is a big gap on the Real Earth map down in the vicinity of Australia, and coincidentally that's a civ that has never appeared in any game before. Is it finally time?

New Zealand got suckered by being rolled into Polynesia last game. I'm just hoping Australia's leader is Tony Abbott to take full advantage of the new cartoony leader graphics.

18 Civs is no surprise after the last two games; assuming they keep the "core" Civs in, that's 5-6 additional spots for newcomers. Could be another first-time Civ for native North America and Africa to go with someone to represent Oceania. Mentioning 'Leader' based bonuses is pretty transparently baiting the possibility of multiple leaders for a single Civ, whether at launch or not.

I never really got the desire for multiple leaders, aside from it being easier to design than a while new civ. I'd rather some underrepresented civilization be given the spotlight instead of having like, Lincoln in the game.
