A lot of you have managed to guess already! To confirm for those of you that have and enlighten those that haven't - here is the final teaser image! The full image and announcement will be in tomorrows Dev Diary.

Thanks to everyone who took part in this guessing game of ours- it's been fun to read both your thought out and your more meme focused guesses!

In today's image the silhouette of someone begins to come clear - who could it be?

Scandinavia seems to be the most common guess based on what we have shown you so far - how does todays reveal factor into that?

On the first image we saw all kinds of speculation - of course we can't say how much of it was accurate! One thing we can say is that this announcement isn't about the European update - so keep guessing if you thought that!

What do you make of this part?

We have an announcement for you but just telling you wouldn't be fun enough. So over the next 4 days we will be slowly revealing this image until the 27th when the DD and the announcement will hit! Can you figure it out ahead of time?

I don't know if you will think this makes it more or less exciting (I hope more!) but this isn't about the European Update!

Today we take a look at some big changes to what is often the most powerful Religion: Catholicism. New abilities, mechanics and bonuses- especially for the Bishop of Rome himself!
