We got now an official first look at Amina, the Warrior Queen. We already had quite some information, but now we officially know that she is economic and militaristic, with a starting bias for plains and desert. She dislikes other plains/desert dwelling civilizations, and she gets more resources and gold in her capital. For all the info please check here.

We got more interesting civ news for you today!
Firaxis has revealed Hawai’i as a civ for Civ7. They are cultural and expansionist with a starting bias for marine and coastal tiles. They get culture for expanding onto marine tiles, and farms adjacent to their unique improvement give also additional culture. Their associated wonder is Hale o Keawe, which also gives more culture, and one of their unique units is a missionary. Want to read more? Check this thread!
At the same time our member JNR13 has created again a visual overview, this time for modern buildings. Check out all the nice graphics here!

Civ7 comes with a lot of new concepts and details. In contrast to previous titles, leaders will have attribute trees, which you can expand over the course of the game. Our moderator Eagle Pursuit has put together an overview over which leader has which traits, and what talent trees we currently know about. If you want to dig down how to maybe best play your leader, then have a look at this thread.
Firaxis has published another first look on a leader, this time Charlemagne. He is militaristic and scientific, and has a starting bias for rivers. He gets some cavalry units during celebrations, which also get combat boni during this time. He also likes leaders who have had a lot of celebrations. If you are more curious about the details, then check this thread.

Firaxis also has released a new short about naval combat. It seems you will be able to use your ships not only to sail up the navigable rivers, but also to plunder and capture the settlements on the way. In the exploration age you can explore the seas a lot further than in antiquity, but your ships are prone to sinking from the rough sea. If you want to discuss these details with us, then check out this thread.

History PhD student and Civ6 streamer Paisley_Trees and her colleague Dr. Crow have made another video with a focus on the middle east, this time focusing on Persia in Civ7.
They pin down which of the Persian empires is actually in Civ7, how the unique ability of Civ7 Persia fits really historically, how the Immortals are the most historically accurate so far from all the Civ titles, and a lot more interesting things.
Take a look at the video and discuss it with us here.
