Maybe they're hoping people leave the stream running all night - that way they can start blaring tornado sirens at 3AM to see what kind of abuse the fans will put up with.

There's four. Two to the left in the fore/midground, two in the bottom right corner in the background. The one near the edge of the screen is really hard to see but it'sthere.

And yes, informing you of this minor visual detail in Firaxis's little publicity stunt is clearly the most important thing I could be doing at this time at 6:30 AM.

Honestly I kinda like this. It's been rather low key and kinda pleasant to have on in the background as sort of an ambient rainstorm soundtrack. The storm siren they added is quiet enough that it's not really a problem.

Okay, I hadn't actually expected the tornadoes or sirens - that's kinda dark, killing all those people without warning in the middle of the night.

Guess it's going to be some sort of natural disaster/climate change expansion? Would be more interesting than 'this plains tile turns to desert!' events from previous games. Not sure if the premise is enough to pad things out for a full expansion.

I can't imagine it wouldn't, new civs have been the main driver for expansions for practically 20 years.

Morning thread. I see we have some 20 minutes until this marketing gimmick ends and we get weather announced as a new mechanic system.

I just hope it's more than randomly spun up like Emergencies are. Ideally a global warming approach would be cool.

Alternatively, just having natural disaster settings like SNES Sim City had would make me happy.

I do not even see how weather makes a difference on such macro scale.

OH gently caress YES! With the new prestige/diplomacy setting they added poo poo called Grievances which (supposedly, we'll see how it works out) lets you finally retaliate against AIs without being hated forever. From the site:

Firaxis posted:

On the other side, we’ve replaced the Warmonger score with Grievances. This acts as a tug-of-war between a pair of players – if you’ve ever been at the receiving end of a surprise attack and retaliated by taking a few cities, I think you’ll appreciate how this system has been updated. The other leaders are now likely to feel that such a countermove was entirely appropriate.
