Although I could definitely do without the leader screens if it meant a lot more available civs/leaders.

I'm glad we have two different Greek leaders so I can punch “A woman’s reputation is highest when men say little about her, whether it be good or evil.” Pericles in his face with the Queen of Sparta.

I love the leader screens. The two themes for each leader and the dialogue and poo poo made the civs in 5 feel a lot more alive than if they were distilled down to a couple of units and abilities and nothing else. I'm kinda pissed at the eurocentrism this time around on launch but I'm happy to wait if it stays good quality.

Fister Roboto posted:It's almost as if having to create and voice-act intricate diplomacy screens, and design and balance totally unique abilities and units severely limits the number of civs they can have in the game due to time and budget constraints. One sec giving Greece two leaders or splitting them into city states while having the Near East begin and end with Sumeria.

Gorgo isn't a separate Civ, on the alphabetical bingo board she was alongside Pericles.

Yeah if they split Greece into actual city states, in a game where City States are a mechanic that existed, that'd just be really messed up.

The Greek Civ this time is thematically a loose alliance of city-states and their leader screen is Gorgo and Pericles arguing with each other about everything.

Ooo, a Norwegian viking leader! Does that mean we'll see a later era Danish one? Like Christian 4. or Christian X??  No, we're not, Sweden and their omnipresent Gustav's taking the last Scandinavian spot, of course.

The livestream still isn't up on the official Youtube channel, but it's been uploaded over here. The Civilopedia is opened around 51 minutes in.   I think we can finally put to rest speculation on whether multiple official civ leaders are planned.

With the DLC system, multiple leaders per Civ seems like a no brainer, and I'm pumped for it. Also good for modders.

Looks like some people don't remember Civ IV. They've done this before. It's cool, and isn't the end of the world. In Civ IV only America, England, France, and Russia got three leaders in the end, and that seemed mainly because they were giving out WWII leaders to everyone (all the Allies at least) in that one expansion. Whether other Civs got one or two leaders tended to be pretty reasonable. The only thing different about this time is first that they have to come up with legit unique traits for each leader, rather than slapping on a couple pre-made ones in various combinations (which is good), and also this is the era of DLC, and there's a lot more potential to put out fan favorite leaders of popular civs (which is more questionable for multiple reasons).

Im pretty sure that leader changes the city list since Aachen is Charlemanges capital.

The order after the capital is random but the cities are still civ specific.

Kurtofan posted:No that's what Ed Beach said when he realized he just leaked a bunch of stuff. I just mean that I disagreed with you when you said the civ list meant multiple leaders, didn't even consider that having multiple leaders could be a civ specific mechanic. I wonder if this means more than simply having a choice of leaders at the start of the game or if you would be able to actually change leaders during a game to swap traits. It seems like that's the only way having multiple leaders would actually affect the game instead of just giving you more starting options.

I think Ed is just about ready to walk out and scream into a pillow but nope he's gotta keep on going for another 20 minutes. Poor guy. They shoulda just owned the mistake and had a laugh. (actually what they should have done is used a bunch of psuedonyms in the leader list to wind up civfanatics something fierce)
