Ludwig's ability feels so powerful, I love it!

Sejong drew the short straw in this group for his bonus

All these new leaders are great, but who I really want to play as is Dan Quayle

Ludwig's ability is so weird, I love it.

Sejong was so OP in civ 5 but here he looks significantly weaker. Regardless, looking forward to playing all of them especially Ludwig.

Looking forward to work ethic and desert folklore with Theodora. Just plain broken and I love it.

It seems like the devs got the two Theodoras mixed up. The civ animation appears to be based on a mosaic depicting Theodora, wife of Justinian, from the 6th century. Then there was another Theodora in the 9th century, wife of Theofilos, and that was the one who ended iconoclasm.

Sejong’s agenda of disliking those ahead of him in science and culture seems very odd. Korea was never one to have a superiority complex like feudal China. And Sejong’s nature of his reforms and such made him favor wanting education and such to be widely spread to all. Him disliking those who are well learnt is kind of counter intuitive to everything he stood for. Granted, they probably put this weird agenda just so it would be different from base Korea. Which actually likes those with high science. In general, Sejong probably got the shorter end of the stick for this pack. Besides what I just said, his actual ability is lacking in power and isn’t the most fitting thing they could have gone for Sejong.

It feels like there is already a tonne of civs with a heavy culture focus, was kinda hoping for more production or science centric leader bonuses

Theodora is great, especially with Work Ethic for versatility or Choral Music for culture snowballing. Considering she can easily have high faith adjacency (due to farms) in almost any land, both WE and ChM seem great choices. Ludwig is... interesting. Spamming wonders even with no intent to finish them seems both ridiculous and unique. XD Sejong... Damn. Anansi from Heroes & Legends mode has an overall better ability. With Sejong, you need to plan your scientific and cultural progress around the ability, and the reward is pretty insignificant. Also, you can mess yourself up by getting free tech from a tribal village (!), wonders such as Oxford University (!!), or even some Great People (boosting "wrong" tech at the "wrong" time), World Congress competitions, and your Steal Boost spy operations. XD If the ability was for example: "+1 food per Specialist in Seowon and Cultural District. Gain a one-time boost to culture equal to double your science per turn each time you recruit a Great Scientist. Gain a one-time boost to science equal to double your culture per turn each time you recruit a Great Writer", the ability would be a way better. But sadly, it's not.

If only Neuschwanstein castle had been available in Civ VI

The way the music transitions from Byzantium to Germany is very satisfying. Listening back, I guess the timing of the two pieces isn't quite synced up with each other as well as I first thought, but I think it's just the fact that they're in the same key (except whether it's major or minor, I guess), and Byzantium is this low, quiet theme whereas Germany's starts off with a huge crescendo into its climactic part.

Ludwig sounds really interesting and right down my alley! Some amazing strats to build dense cities, especially when you’ve already got the extra district and squeezing aqueducts, dams, hansas, and commercial hubs together as Germany. Ludwig synergises perfectly with dense theatre squares and wonders to get mega culture, gold and production yields! Theodora is a really nice alternative to those (like me) who don’t go full domination, still powerful with military, but incentivised to redirect that extra faith towards naturalists and rock bands. Combine with the incentive for farm and new hippodrome faith bonuses and you get a high food, amenities (all yields!), faith, and culture for a powerful wide all rounder. Trying to stay on good diplomatic terms? Just send the heavy cavalry out and pillage for more yields and less grievances! Sejong sounds weak but he leads a hard science civ that wins big from rushing cheap powerful Seowons as soon as the ancient era, without fear of district planning. If a civ sounds weak, it’s usually cause you can get their bonuses near the start, which is a huge boon. Pop seowons around hills, get early mines around them for that extra science and production and try to blast through science one era at a time. When that final tech turn starts, make cities prioritise science, swap policies (maybe buy if they’re locked), ready your Pingala and see the benefits of science priority flow. In a science win that’s the equivalent of 16 turns of culture generation at a way higher level than you’re likely working with. That could be a good 10% of your civic tree covered there! Seondeok may have strong governor bonuses but they’re stuck to a few cities or spread thin. If you’re going total science 9% bonus culture from a governor in a city that isn’t focusing on culture aint doing much (apparently it’s *every* first era tech so times what I said by 2.5X)

Do you get double culture bonus from Holy Sites as Theodora if you choose Choral Music?

Definatley gonna go home and play Theodora. I never understood culture victories but I got one recently and that made me love how it's played. I still have a lot of work to figure out optimization but still enjoyable

Ah nice those first looks breakdown are back :)

You know i didn't expect anything all that exciting, i gotta admit ludwig looks the most curious but i think i like all 3.

i love these concepts with a passion. good job

Missed opportunity to include King David IV of Georgia, also known as David the Builder.

Civ team, you are getting every leader/country I’ve ever wanted in the game! Ludwig II was the final leader I wanted to see! The Neuschwanstein castle is such a beautiful castle that I got to see

Ludwigs swan king ability sounds really powerful, as soon as I heard "even if they are unfinished" I was sold

Glad to see Thea and Sejong back from Civ5, but Sejong's ability looks underpowered, because you can only trigger it couple of times in the game, and in later eras big(ger) boost to culture won't really matter, because at that point you're most likely winning because you're ahead of science. It will overall save only couple of turns. However, this needs to be tested live while playing, it might be better ability then it looks on paper. Ludwing looks most OP, especially considering how his ability syncs with rest of the Germany, which is overall building powerhouse. Thea ability is pretty good, but like Eleanore, her ability doesn't really synch up with rest of her civilization's kit.

Any update on bringing these to console? You've spent years building a console fanbase, and released the previous expansions on console, will these be coming as well?

Can’t wait to play

Re: Ludwig's leader ability: If someone else completes the wonder and your half finished wonder disappears, does the bonus remain or does it also go away?

King Sejong is gonna need some improvement mods.

Are any of these going to be available for PS4? The only reason I looked for and watched this video is because I noticed there was an update for the game.

Civ players: "sweet a second German civ leader!" Hearts of iron players: "there is another..."

nice leaders sejong is going to be fun to play

Franklin Delano Roosevelt would've been a great addition to The Great Builders. Or any leader pack.

All three look great! Excited to try them! Achievements?

The game that keeps on giving Still would love to see a Civ7 announcement

this looks great, can't wait to play this

Sejong not having Turtle ships makes me sad, i know you not giving leaders units for this but still its such a cool thing

Can someone help? I have these rulers and also the ruler of egypt but my rulers of china is not showing up.

I like how they say Theadora was a former actress. Acting wasn't all she did from what I've read. lol

I just love how ludwig is like ,"bro you can do this, anything is possible in the beginning "

Ludwig II... Now I can finally play as the Assyrian like his ancestor Ashurbanipal.

1:11 what's the music name?

Is Sejong's ability extremely weak and not very fitting with the theme?

Theodora: *comes back* Me: "beautiful as the day I lost you"

I thought Sejong was Yongle from the Conquerors of China DLC

I hope they add more leaders from Civ V, and even some factions too (The Huns, The Shoshone, etc.)

When will it be on consol 😭

0:30 here says the ability is named "Restorer of Icons", but in-game is named "Metanoia".

Farms giving adjacency bonuses is crazy strong

When is coming to playstation and xbox?

Theodora W!

Ludwig not finishing his wonder is such a meme

They combined The Amorian Theodora with Justinian one

Is it out already?

Culture base leader. Now that more my likeing

When leader pass on PlayStation platform?

All of this looks great. I can't find it on Nintendo eShop, however.

Lake Admirals still a thing?

The opportunity to add official Civilization VI's Neuschwanstein Castle was so missed it circled around and hit the players in the nape. It is sad: Ask The Gods.

Is this just PC i have ps4 version?

I don't understand the Korean leader's ability, could someone explain?

Is it the last thing to be added to the Leader Pass ?

Love!

When will it come for switch???

Will these ever be available for PlayStation?

Ludwigs unique leader ability is him being a failure.I was suprised to see an unsuccessful Leader when i first saw him but this is actually funny.

It is noticeable that King Sejong looks heavier compared to his appearance in Civilization 5. This is actually historically accurate as King Sejong was known for his love for meat which ultimately led to him suffering from spondylitis and diabetes. The game's portrayal of King Sejong can be deemed as accurate and well-captured. It is not right for King Sejong to call himself King Sejong because kings of Joseon are given names based on their achievements after death, tho.

Can you make the next civ be good?

When will you do a Napoléon leader ? Je was much more relevant a leader for France than Catherine, which i honestly dont remember for having donne Anything for France

Now i would play Sejong instead of Seondeok.

For whatever reason, when this update came through to me from Steam -- the existing game I was playing was strip of all my UI mods. No Better Anything screens at all. I was having as great game too. /mini rant

No Austria ):

Considering that Theodora was a Miaphysite, isn't it a little Ironic for her to prefer Orthodoxy?

Why no release on consoles!?

can y'all buff Caesar now? Please?

Well, "Would you be interested in a trade agreement with England" is coming up next.

I think finally I have a leader who can give me a religion victory !!!

Where Justinian

When new civs on console?

When are we going to get the funny mustache German leader?

Esperava mais

Again no update for mac? great job

is it me, or is there a noticeable uptick in the model quality for these new leaders. like ludwig and theodora especially look way too high definition. not saying I'm opposed to a cosmetic update of all the leaders.

sejong looks like zhudi朱棣， it quite weird

Out of all leaders for germany, its Ludwig. God damn bavarians T.T

Sooner or later they will give has an Italian leader? I mean other than 2 Roman character that speak very wrong spoken Latin. Even Venice again it's okay, but there so many great people. If there is Pericles I want Dante.

Please update achievements on steam.

Missed opportunity to add Neuschwanstein castle to the game lol. Come on

Has anyone mentioned that Theodora looks like middle aged Anne Hathaway?

Spain has more of ten centuries of history, the most important empire by 4 centuries, and only has one player in the game, could add by example the kings Carlos I of Spain and V of Germany, Fernando the catholic, Carlos III and the queen Isabel I the catholic

If you have or not you need to start working on civilization 7!!

Theodora was a former *"actress"*

So your DLCs both in price and content are 2x bigger than the base game. Gg 2k

I think Theodora is busted with desert folklore or dance of aurora! Hell even Hermetic order and lay lines! Faith and Culture are so synergic that religious or culture wins are guaranteed! And just imagine what can you do with Voidsingers! I love faith heavy civs! I was hyped for Sejong but not an op ability, sadly!

Pretty disappointed Theodora doesn’t get the Tagma (or at least something similar like the Cataphract), I’ll probably pick Basil II over Theodora just for the Tagma.

I prefer Civ 5’s Theodora

Fix the consoles crashing please because we can't even use these new leaders😅

Yeah, now fix spawn biases.Norway shouldn't not spawn on a non jungle coast

Ludwig wouldn’t get along with Amanitore or Qin Shi Huang. Sejong and Theodora would get along with Peter the Great and Hojo Tokimune.

Making a Bavarian King the Leader of the German Empire is a very special kind of insult. I can see Pussians turnung in their graves haha.

Time to start building every single wonder and never finish them lol

Ludwig shouldprovide additional movement for naval and embarked troops

BRO I WAS LITERALLY THINKING AND READING ABOUT THEODORA TODAY WHAT THE HELL and i CANT play any of this because consoles dont exist, thanks firaxis :)
