It's not like disaster are just entirely negative. Sure, the flooding destroys your farm, but afterwards the tile will have +1 food. That's not all bad.

I like the fuel/power mechanic, and tying coal/oil into that. Something I've been wanting to see in Civ for a very long time is a better representation of the global oil economy. I wonder if this mechanic will encourage oil wars.

The Human Crouton posted:You can't. But of course, you're still gonna buy it right? Or are you only in the thread to spread your bitterness about Civ? Because let me tell you, it's *fascinating* reading every time. As far as the expansion goes, I'm the most excited about the new civs they're introducing. A lot of them look fun and quite unique to play. The additions to game mechanics, well... we'll see I guess. I'm glad there's a slider to play with regarding the disasters. The more you can customize things when you make a new game, the better as far as I'm concerned. I'm not crazy about randomness in these types of games but at least there's a risk and reward thing here, you can choose not to settle near that volcano for example. And, there seems to be way to avoid taking damage from some disasters, and some bring an upside to them as well. We'll see. Leinadi fucked around with this message at 10:50 on Jan 31, 2019 |

I do appreciate that they're trying to implement this kind of stuff, and the fact that it's sucked in every previous incarnation shouldn't automatically preclude it from ever being attempted again. We'll just have to wait and see where it falls on the scale from calculated risk to random bullshit, but at least they definitely seem to be aiming for the former.

Although I don't like the idea of disasters and so forth I like the thought of waiting for a neighbour to get struck by a disaster then sending in a humanitarian peace keeping force, heh heh heh... but more likely I'll be like the poor demonstrator who got his army wiped out by a disaster without even noticing.

Away all Goats posted:Storms and other natural disasters seems perfectly in line with how they seem to want you to do anything but the 4 Xs It's a really bad sign when it seems like the developers want to keep stuffing in features and sub-mechanics to distract you from the core game. It feels like the series has been this way since beyond the sword (corporations and espionage are some of the worst implemented systems).

Oh yeah it's impossible to tell if something is good or not without playing it. No way has there been evidence in this very series that whack-a-mole style 'events' that punish the player and require mindless, simplistic busywork to deal with aren't fun. Oh wait. This goes back to Civ 3 pollution. Or Beyond the Sword random events. Or espionage sabotaging improvements. Or Borsche69 fucked around with this message at 19:17 on Jan 31, 2019 |

The Human Crouton posted:We've only been thinking about the stupid damage that disasters cause to buildings and terrain, but there's even more terrible ideas packed into Gathering Storm's main new mechanic. During a livestream, one of the developers told a story about how he sent his units across the map, and turns later he was wondering where they were. It turns out that they died as they walked across an erupting volcano. So now, instead of setting destinations for units, you have to manually move them every turn to dodge tornadoes. So he just didn't care? Just didn't even notice that some of his units were missing? And then when he found out what happened to them he was just like "oh well there's nothing I can do. Better leave it as is for this 40 dollar game and see what happens." It's almost more surprising that they actually do playtest their game, even if they apparently don't know how to play, and don't do anything with the results of the test.

Ragnar34 posted:I'm going to turn disasters all the way up and enable raging barbarians. Heck, same. I'm looking forward to creating hellscape maps as early as possible. Leinadi posted:But of course, you're still gonna buy it right? Or are you only in the thread to spread your bitterness about Civ? Because let me tell you, it's *fascinating* reading every time. Most of the regulars in this thread have ??? invested in whining about literally everything that makes Civ VI not V. Why they keep returning to the Civ VI thread is beyond me, they could just as easily post a Civ VI / V thread and I guess complain about VI there, too? I mean take a timeout from the thread / news about Civ VI if you don't even play it. Not saying all complaints aren't valid or necessary (we all know the UI is awful, AI is stupid (play with people.. problem solved), notifications are a joke of a mess, and yes the AI is bad) but the constant brigade of negativity from people not even interested in playing the game is just lame. Recognize you dislike mechanics / decisions made / the entire game, move past it, and go play a game you have some several hundred hours with instead of discouraging others from trying something you dislike. As a side note regarding playing these games: the PYDT site some of us use to play hotseat games https://www.playyourdamnturn.com/game/listOpen recently added support for Civ V and Beyond Earth. Please play these games instead of complaining about one you do not like instead.

It feels like the series has been this way since beyond the sword (corporations and espionage are some of the worst implemented systems). This is where I keep falling on my opinion of all these mechanics. Random events are good when they shake up the board state if it is stagnating at certain periods/eras of the game. Instead these events just seem to create busy work or hassles.

Power upkeep is going to be very interesting for balancing that out, and I imagine medieval / industrial warring nations will be some big offenders for this? I can hope/imagine unique units are going to now require strategic resources as upkeep, so someone like Russia would need to burn lots of Iron each turn for their Crossacks, etc.

Imagine getting more powerful in your religion, gaining strength with your temples and apostles until your god lashes out with directed lighting strikes, volcanoes, typhoons, and earthquakes. It would be a different game. And, frankly, not Civ VI.
