    With Lincoln, they should've done something with his stance on defending the Union.... maybe an attack bonus in rebelling territory along with the loyalty bonuses from IZ's. This could make him viable/interesting in the Dramatic Ages mode. Also, the Union had a major advantage in the Civil War because of railroads. It would've been nice to see all of Lincoln's roads automatically upgrade to railroads either right at the turn of the industrial Era or with the industrialization tech.

      @@igorroussenq8568 You really think so? It sounds too strong to me. Railroads lead to massive gold increases as well as ludicrous movement. It's also something that requires quite a big investment to accomplish. You need an encampment, with a military academy, 3-4 engineers, and a lot of turns, iron and coal. For lincoln to get it for free and as soon as the industrialisation tech. This is my opinion at least.

    In magic the gathering, we have the term "trinket text" for rules text on cards that is mostly there for flavor purposes and generally doesn't really have any impact on gameplay; one example being Baneslayer Angel having protection from demons and dragons. Technically that does something, and on very rare occasions it can be relevant, but it matters much less than the other stats and abilities of the card. Anyway, Lincoln's loyalty + from IZ and - from plantations is trinket text.

    Worst part about the Pass is that it's just straight up not available to console players.
    My tinfoil hat theory is that the Leader Pass came about so that Firaxis can claim Civ VI is still in active development. So that now Aspyr is in breach of contract, or something like that, for working on the Humankind console ports. And that conflict is both the "obstacles" Firaxis said kept the Leader Pass off consoles and the "unexpected challenges" Amplitude said about the last minute console Humankind delay.

    I can't quite agree that the Leader Pass is unnecessary as such. I do think it's overdue, though.

I'd have liked to have seen them putting out individual new leaders all along. The fact that they waited until Civ VI was obviously at the end of its life cycle to finally give us a bunch of new leaders to play with is disappointing.

I'm just a little aesthetically bothered now. You know when you load up a saved game and have a mini-map preview?

    Perspective significantly changes if you're getting the leader's pass for free or if you're paying for it. Getting it for free, I have no real issues against it. The new Congo leader is nice since I always liked the relic bonuses, but now being able to found a religion and kill off your apostles does streamline the strategy better. But I think the big issue is how well-developed some of the MODs that are available right now - some are created with some serious level of depth that brings a lot more variety and novelty to the game. So if we compare those to what the leader's pass offers - then yes, long-time players would be disappointed. The previous Frontier's pass - what was good was not the additional leaders alone, but with the addition of new gameplay abilities like secret society, and apocalypse mode. If the Frontier pass only released new leaders and nothing else, it would have received the same response as right now. Cos with modding community - it's kind of easy to get/make new leaders.

    There is another take on these leaders. It’s been a long time since Civ 6 has been interested in actual history. If you look at Julius Caesar and Abraham Lincoln, these reflect history. Agreed, Lincoln weirdly but it is an attempt. I regard most of the Nee Frontier Pass a disaster because with very few exceptions (Portugal?) it wasn’t interested in historical reality. The opposite, it became an absurd fantasy game.

    Believe it or not, it's incredibly easy to roll a game back to day one with Steam. Not because Steam keeps every copy, but because every copy is ultimately built from the first build uploaded. It's unlikely but at least easily possible to accidentally switch to the wrong depo and muscle memory your way towards a big mistake.

    It was fixed as of last night. If you have all the DLC you can now get the Leader Pass for free.
    On the hand of how we paid for Caesar, I agree. They were clearly data-mining for ad revenue. The 2K account not only wants your email, but asks if you want ads and notifications for other games. Obviously, I declined.
    Also agree on the cost. If one is going to buy the pass, buy the Anthology.

    I tried off and on for 24 hours and couldn't get the DLC, then I did the "add something to your cart" thing and it unlocked. I had already made a 2k account years ago because that's how you got the scout cat too, IIRC. But it seems that it's fixed now and the people who are entitled to the new DLC are getting it without having to jump through hoops to get it. I did wait a day for it to sort out but got a bit impatient and bought something for 65 cents.

    Tried playing Nzinga a few times, constantly spawned on the edge of the continent and it is small continent, making her leader ability a net negative. So not thrilled about her as I would like. Could just be the RNG of my playthroughs, but I tried about five or six starts.

    I understand the issue of abilities being boring, because they reward you for playing the same way we were playing. It's nothing new like Kupe, or a changed play style needed like going for a strong district like Koreans. They feel like a good newbie leaders. Except we are no longer newbies, so they feel luckluster

    • @joaogomes9405
      @joaogomes9405 Год назад

      You might not be, but other people might. And honestly, besides Saladin none of the leaders really jump out as extremely lazy. Lincoln is a more aggressive early war approach to America, which under both Teddies is a late-game cultural powerhouse, while Mbandi is literally just Kongo but actually good. Any ability besides Nzinga's shitty penalty pretending to be a leader ability is honestly a welcome one, specially one that incentivizes the Kongo to play tall like they clearly want to but up until Mbandi couldn't because you needed lots of mediocre cities to get apostles to spam.

    @Blangadanger Год назад

    Launch issues aside, I got the leaders for free, and to me, their abilities are fine. If nothing else, it offers a different playstyle for three Civs, and for the fourth (Nzinga), it straight up improves it. Nzinga's ability is boring, but it is very synergetic with Kongo's tall playstyle. I like Saladin's ability specifically for a superfast religious victory, but it'd be lethal with a horse rush too.

    @AndrewChumKaser Год назад

    Most of the new civs could really do with a rework and/or buff.
    Julius should get a great general point per turn from his capital, Lincoln's industrial zones should give 2 amenities instead of loyalty, and saladin's flanking bonuses for religious and combat units should be cross compatible (I E religious units should be able to flank for military ones and vice versa.) The yields for congo should probably come with another drawback of some kind.

    • @vxxiii4160
      @vxxiii4160 Год назад

      It's funny because Lincoln's ability in the base game actually gives amenities, but since the R&F expansion focuses more on loyalty then most of the game revolves around that mechanic. Who knows, we'll see what happens in the future.

      @AndrewChumKaser Год назад

      @@vxxiii4160 yeah, potato mentioned that. Frankly it's just a better version of the same ability that feels more useful, and replacing that part with the base game version would instantly make Lincoln far better.

      I don't get the thing with Lincoln. He changes the industrial zones into giving amenities and the plantages losing amenities but only without the R&F DLC. Why?
      And I remember in the Wiki the ability of Mbande was another that effected trade and combat strength. Which I think would be also more unique.

    Agreed on all points made, this felt rushed, sloppy and phoned in, especially compared to the high bar set by all previous content. The trailers for this content also similarly felt sloppy and phoned in as well. Feels like a very top down decision with an aggressive timeline for short term gain rather than the labor of love the rest of the game feels like, which is super unfortunate.
