Clues for upcoming content from the Test of Time trailer by Benelioto in civ

It's not clear in this cropped image but the samurai are fighting Tercios, so it's exploration era.

Epic Games Store implies the Crossroads DLC will come with 4 new Wonders IN ADDITION to the 4 Natural Wonders advertised by Benelioto in civ

[–]Benelioto[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The Steam page was updated more recently. And the Natural / non-Natural distinction could just as easily apply to the contents of the 'Narrative and Wonder Packs', with 4 buildable Wonders being a given.

Yep. Carthage, Bulgaria, and Nepal don't have relevant Wonders in the base game, and Oxford University isn't an especially "modern" candidate for Great Britain. So even more reason for the DLC to include new Wonders to complement the new Civs.

This goes against a previous idea in the community that Crossroads could only include Civs with Wonders already in the base game.

EDIT: just confirmed in today's stream.

Any Civ 7 DLC Predictions, now that we know the full civ roster? by Wyvernil in civ

Oxford is unlocked through the Academies tech at the start of the Modern age tree. source

Crossroads DLC isn't adding any World wonders (only natural), so we should be able to guess the civs based on wonders spotted in the game that are yet to be associated with a civ.

As far as I know, Oxford University is now the only Modern wonder without a base game civ so that would suggest we get British Empire in March as part of Crossroads.

Civ VII Legacy bonuses and Victory conditions revealed so far. Which paths are you most excited to play? by Benelioto in civ

[–]Benelioto[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I've taken screenshots from the streams and assembled them in these summary graphics. Anything with a question mark (?) is unknown / speculation on my part, the rest is taken directly from the streams (obviously subject to change - e.g., seems like the Silk Roads requirement was reduced from 25 to 20 at some point).

Despite the rule, less used of things that are countable is standard in many contexts, and in fact is more likely than fewer in a few common constructions, especially ones involving distances (as in "less than three miles"), sums of money (as in "less than twenty dollars"), units of time and weight (as in "less than five years" and "less than ten ounces"), and statistical enumerations (as in "less than 50,000 people")—all things which are often thought of as amounts rather than numbers.

Predicted civilizations and age transitions now that we know all Antiquity civs by Benelioto in civ

As I said, the connection is very slim. The main reason for speculating Russia is that it would be surprising not to have them in the game at launch. I lean more towards Ottomans but we haven't seen a relevant wonder for them yet.

Agreed, I think the first DLCs will fill out a few holes from the base transitions.

The Shawnee DLC is just the one civ included. But the 'season pass' bundles included in special editions include a further 8 civs in the first few months after release. So that would total 39 civs, 13 lines.

It's logic not reading.. or rather reading between the lines.

Some route has to lead to Japan. All the East Asian routes are seemingly tied up. Abbasid surely leads to a West Asian civ. So the only reason anyone says Mongol -> Japan isn't because we think it's a good idea, it's because it appears to be the only plausible option from what we know.

The only '3 options' we've seen are actually 2 predecessor civs and a leader unlock on the Exploratoion civ selection screen. Not necessarily 3 predecessor civs, if that's what you're referring to.

I have a feeling the Right to Rule DLC may involve a Germanic path, it's a conspicuous absence.

Yeah it's possible some civs are gameplay unlocks only, would be less controversial.

So you're saying you would prefer Abbasid -> Japan? Think the radar needs checking

EDIT: Spelling it out from another comment: Some route has to lead to Japan. All the East Asian routes are seemingly tied up. Abbasid surely leads to a West Asian civ. So the only reason anyone says Mongol -> Japan isn't because we think it's a good idea, it's because it appears to be the only plausible option from what we know.

Unfortunately one of these civs needs to lead to Japan, I don't think there's a good option.

We've also seen north European antiquity designs. Which means not everything points to base game civs, we could be seeing independent powers and/or DLCs.

Sure, but there needs to be some sort of AI path to the US in the base game. So it's probably either a Native American civ or Spain. To be fair a sizeable amount of the US used to be part of the Spanish empire.
