My non-US friend gifted my BNW and now I think I can't play it until the worldwide release date.

Apparently natural wonders now give specific military promotions if you put your units next to them.

Well, that's what manual tile buying is for. If it really gets you all bent out of shape, adopt Tradition, your borders expand way faster and fill in better.

I'm aware of buying tiles and using Tradition. It is frustrating, in the early game, when I really want that luxury one tile away and it grabs the bananas in the jungle I can't get to yet via tech. Need that money for settlers not tiles!!

So started my new game, playing as Arabia to buck the trend and let everyone else try out Venice first. Good to know the world gen is still capable of spitting out gems like these. I know where my first settler is going.

In and started a game as Shoshone. Their scouts have a special ability that allows you to choose what you receive when you uncover ancient ruins. The scouts upgrade directly to Composite Bowmen.

^^^^ oh, yeah, that isn't completely broken at all Part of me wants to gloat about how I have BNW sitting open right now (as opposed to the smart people who saved $6), but in all honesty I have a headache and will probably go to bed soon.

Or on the Desert between everything? No seriously....even after hundred + hours I still don't always drop my first settler right and trust the AI where it tells me to drop future settlers. I am finally getting better at NOT doing that but still  Apparently no 3rd party site like GMG/whatever besides Steam has keys yet. Interesting

e: Scout ^^ I really don't care if I wait until noon tomorrow or whatever for my GMG key, but I do echo the sentiment that it just being blank where it should say the release date caused me a little concern. What I mean to say is that if I don't receive my key within 20 seconds I'm filing a class action lawsuit against GMG.

I believe water expansion becomes more frequent once you get a Lighthouse, but I haven't tested/paid enough attention to be sure.

Yet at the same time, with that perfect ring of 5 floodplain wheat and 1 sheep with a blank spot in the middle it's hard to resist filling up the empty floodplain. Edit: isndl posted:Rush-buy a Granary and watch that city become a monster. Even better, that would put me right next to Belgrade which knows the secret of the Hwach'a. A nice, short, safe trade route for my first caravan that will earn me influence points. At least I think trade routes earn influence...it would make sense.

I think it just does that if it's on the release day but they haven't sent the key out yet. Hopefully we'll get our keys some time in the next 12 hours or so.

You can get a windmill later on though if you don't settle on the hill, and the floodplain is a perfectly fine tile to settle on. Especially with all those growth bonuses.

It's been that way since I ordered it about three days ago, but I'm really not that concerned. The amount of people using them makes me feel pretty okay that they're not some fly-by-night company who's going to take my money and act like they never got my order or something.

When I finished researching the necessary tech it added "caravan" (or something similar) as an option for the build queue. When I finished building it a screen came up letting me choose where to send the caravan. Which got almost instantly destroyed by roaming barbarians.

Unsurprisingly they closed off the instant selling of luxuries and embassies to the AI for easy gold in the early game. They all now require declaration of friendship for lump sum trades. You can do gold per turn without them but everyone makes zero money at the start so that's non-ideal. Kind of a interesting way of addressing that AI loop hole in the early game.

GMG owns but it's a complete crapshoot if they'll do the midnight release, you'll get your key sometime on the 9th.

First, it looks like you need to build a caravan unit. It should be an option alongside warriors and such. Then you click on the caravan and a menu with destination cities shows up? I don't have my copy of the game yet. (Preordered a physical copy, waiting for it to be delivered. Last time I ever do that)
