The game looks and runs fine at a comfortable 40fps on medium-high settings. But my laptop is generating a lot of heat after a while. Are there certain settings I can lower that can help this? Or is it something I have to live with because it's not a desktop?

Do making new cities cost you happiness/amenities points globally like in Civ V, or are they self-contained like Civ IV's cities were and you have to pump their happiness up with local luxuries/buildings?

There is no such thing as global happiness anymore, it's all local Happiness is actually not nearly as important as in previous civs, it feels like. Excess happiness gives you boosts to culture/faith/production/gold(?), lack of happiness stalls growth

So it seems like spending money is a thing you do more often this time, both for buying stuff and getting tiles. Do builders increase in cost, or is that just settlers? I feel like I should be making more of them for regular tile improvements, not just resources. Game is very fun. I'm pleased with the level of complexity.

I must be retarded. How the gently caress do I negotiate peace with a civ I'm at war with? Harald declared war on me because I settled too close and I've completely crushed his army, but opening the diplomacy screen gives zero options to talk with him; literally the entire section is just gone, and all I can do is click on the "intel report" stuff.

While the amenities are local, the luxury resources are (as far as I know) distributed automatically based on who needs it most, with one luxury resource feeding 4 cities at most. So making a new city could lower happiness in your already established ones, just not in a direct way.

I can't really find any good info in-game on the impact of founding new cities. Does it still at least make techs and civics cost more with more cities?

How long has the war lasted for? You can't make peace within 10 turns of war being declared. Likewise, you can't declare war within 10 turns of peace being declared.

From what I've seen in the preview streams/Youtube videos tech and civic cost doesn't increase, though I didn't check how it behaves in the current build.

No idea, but I guess that was it. A few turns later the option to "negotiate peace" suddenly popped up. Some kind of anything, like just having the button grayed out, would be a big improvement.

They have purposefully cut most of the limits on going wide, so yes, amenities and increasingly expensive settlers are pretty much it.

I guess I'll have to see how this plays out in practice. I decided to pick Rome and go wide, choosing the settler build bonus policy. Unfortunately there wasn't a ton of land to grab in my start. What do you think the best civ to go wide with? Rome seemed decent for the free roads and buildings. I also feel like I should drop out of my Civ V habit of giving my cities lots of room, trying to avoid crowding them together too much. REX strategies where you have lots of cities 3 tiles apart may be more viable like this.

You can spam out infinite cities with enough spare production, but they're not going to do much of anything if they can't afford to build districts. Mind you they'll never be a liability except for spreading your luxuries a bit thinner, but they'll definitely provide you with diminishing returns compared to your first cities.

Eiba posted:Settlers get more expensive, but worse than that districts get more and more expensive as you build more too. Honestly by putting the good "tall" buildings in Districts and putting the expansion penalty there, it allows you to more freely build smaller cities for the purpose of blocking off land and claiming resources.

That's rad. I very, very rarely ever had more than three cities when playing Civ V, so that's nice. Doing a wide, religious victory Russia right now. So, so glad religious victory is back.

For my first game, I randomed the Aztecs and spawned in the middle of five different civs. I have been at war constantly. I'm glad I build a ton of eagle warriors early because now I have more builders than I will ever be able to use.

Chin Strap posted:Continents aren't just separate islands. Think Eurasia or North and South America. Good point. Always thought of them as separate land masses. Just feels a bit weird to instantly say "you've discovered a new continent!" on my first turn, where I'm just sat on a single patch of dirt.

Did my first game with America on a small map on Prince difficulty. I did a small bit of early warmongering and got some good cities out of the deal, and then I settled in for a science victory, but as I was just getting started on the space race projects I ended up with a sudden cultural victory. Okay then!

I got like 9 simultaneous achievements when I won my first game as Rome. Also, one of the continents (on a fractal Pangea) was a near-vertical strip, about five tiles wide, sandwiched between two vastly bigger continents.

This guy keeps breaking his promise to not convert my cities, and I get a whole 'Broken Promise!" pop-up thing, and it lists City Conversion under Casus Belli but I'm still only allowed to declare 'Surprise War'. What's up?

I'm hearing mixed things here - is it better or worse to go wide, or is the difference less of a line of demarcation and more a question of asset distribution?

I always feel like I must be doing something wrong. I build as many slingers and warriors as I can afford and I still get overwhelmed by barbarians on prince difficulty within the first 50 turns. I want to play as china and just poo poo out all of the wonders in peace man. Maybe I should go Aztecs or Scythia for the first games.
