Awwright, that is one smug-ass king there! He's even got a perpetual Dreamworks Eyebrow!

Ooh, I'll enjoy playing that one. Trade-focused civs are my bread and butter.

There's also a new Barbarian Clan mode, which allows peaceful interactions with barbarians and lets them turn into city states eventually.

Here's a bit of history trivia: Joao III is Philip II's maternal uncle.
That's why they look so similar.

Is Joao also an ancestor of Pedro? I know Maria, Portugal's rep from V, was.

Yeah, though this is probably fairly justified given they're fairly closely related. First cousins once removed if I've worked it out correctly.
Not directly. His dynasty ended 3 generations after him due to his grandson dying in battle without an heir, which ultimately lead to the Iberian Union. The next independent king of Portugal apparently did claim descend from the same dynasty, but through João's father instead. Due the fact that most of European monarchies married each other a lot I bet Pedro does descend from João in some way, but the connection is not as direct as with Maria at least.

They wouldn’t confirm the details of what the April patch would bring, but it sounds like it’s going to shake things up. “We’ve been sitting in waiting on a lot of exciting balance changes for a long time,” Strenger tells us. “This is going to be probably the biggest community update event ever.”
Firaxis has done some tweaking to civs during the New Frontier season, but it sounds like the team have been waiting for the end before giving civ balance some dedicated dev time: “We could have done it earlier,” said Strenger, “But like it’s kind of trying to hit a moving target because we still had Portugal, we still had [other New Frontier Pass civs].”
“So now that things are settled with all the new content of the New Frontier Pass, it’s like okay, cool, we’re dusting off all these ideas and tweaks that we’ve been sitting on for a very long time. I think fans are gonna be really excited once they see the full list of patch notes.”

Ooh, that'll be nice to see. A lot of the civs they've introduced in New Frontiers have extremely powerful abilities compared to older ones.

So I never really dabbled into Roosevelt until recently and... wasn't Rough Rider Roosevelt's abilities originally Bull Moose Roosevelt? Like I swear the park focus was the new one.

Bull Moose takes base Teddy's additional appeal to National Parks and adds in Science from Mountains and Natural Wonders and Culture from Woods and Wonders.
Rough Rider takes the Rough Rider unit and combat strength from base and adds in additional Envoys sent to city-states he has a trader sent to.
