So what are the odds this'll get a demo, so I can find out whether this will run on my comp? I don't have the dedicated RAM for this game, but I've got an integrated card, but it's an a previous generation of i3 so who knows how much processing it can spare?? They had a demo of Civ 5.

You ever just sit back and think about how nationalistic these games are? gently caress's sake, this series's base assumptions are uncomfortable these days. Even more than usual, I mean.

The thing I really like about Civ 6 is that it displays properly, unlike Civ 5, which is unplayable on the resolution my computer runs at. gently caress Civ 5 for this single reason.

Magil Zeal posted:Marshes are fairly uncommon as far as terrain features go. One Seminole power should be that they straight up modify their corner of the map to be swamp shithole slime heaven. This patch land would of course be attractive to certain other civs, which is great, because obviously the Seminole would be mechanically geared for a defensive war on top of presumably reversing the negatives most civs get for fighting in marshland. Start up a dual map of you versus America, name the save The Last Time Florida Was Good, and just hold out for 5000 years. Mameluke posted:The Calusa mod for Civ V is very well done and supports a marsh-heavy playstyle, especially if you use Events & Decisions as well. Oh hey this looks rad.

Roger Explosion posted:Farms on Tundra is low-key loving amazing. Seems niche. What am I not seeing? I guess with feudalism you can convert an entire builder into three-food tiles, so with a free builder from ancestral hall you can send a settler into the great empty north and get yourself to an I guess guaranteed seven pop city. And since you probably sent the settler up there for a specific resource tile, you'll need another builder charge, maybe from some other builder or maybe from the social policy. But if there was a resource I wanted up there, I probably would have settled that spot with any civ. I guess it isn't NOT worth it.

I'm in favor of whatever speeds up Civ combat. Honestly what I really want is something like an overhaul mod that removes all military units and makes a new resource called "soldiers," and you spend them the same way you spend hammers or gold. 5 soldiers a turn to keep up a wall, 100 soldiers to invade a city on your border and compare stats with that city, I don't know. I call this idea 0UPT, and I would insta-buy any good 4x that streamlined war like that. Or rip off the combat from Through the Ages. I feel like that could transfer to games with a map if costs and thresholds changed according to travel distance and terrain.

Hot take: Mali is the new Venice. Gold for days and you'll eventually be up for a solid domination victory, but weak in the early game. Hopefully gold directly helps with diplo victories, because I don't really want to go for domination. Ragnar34 fucked around with this message at 21:09 on Jan 9, 2019 |

That's because I'm the one who wrote Civilization 6. Listen, I was originally planning to write well, instead of badly, but I changed my mind and then made Sean Bean read a bunch of stupid poo poo out loud. It made sense at the time.

Here's a story. I have a friend who says he keeps meaning to get into a Civ game. He owns Civ 3 and never had the patience for it, but he's seen me play 5 and 6 and apparently it always looked like I was having fun (???). He asked which Civ game he should get if he decided to take the plunge and I gave him more or less the thread orthodox advice: 4 > 5~BE > 6. In the end he decided he'd stick with Civ 3 and see if he can't enjoy that one, and if he ends up getting into it enough to buy one of the other ones, it sounds like he'll go for 6. He has yet to buy a Civ game. I'm not going to push him.

It should not be possible to start a Mali game in the tundra. Like, I moved south on turn 2 and met Russia. I scouted around a bit and found out they spawned closer to a desert than I did. The Inca rule though. Easily my favorite civ so far.

Oh poo poo, I flipped a city-state with Eleanor. That can't possibly work on all civ capitals, can it? Eleanor is interesting. I normally play tall because I get sick of making settlers after 10 or so and I don't really like war, so having 22 cities was a new one for me. It's also strange to take cities without choosing them beforehand. If I've got Macedon on one side and the Netherlands on the other, and Wilhelmina and I have been cool all game whereas Alex is being Alex, it feels weird taking her cities. I suppose I should have just punched a hole in Alex and disrupt his population spread so I could take both. I also should probably have been playing pangaea to get the full Eleanor experience.

Currently trying to decide what roll terrace farms should play. They're amazing at first, but then you reach the housing cap and you want mines. And the best location for a terrace farm is also the best location for your campus, which is of course more important, unless you get Macchu Pichu (and you really want that) in which case most of your districts will go where the terrace farms would. So you have to commit to MP when thinking about district and TF placement. It's an awkward situation. Inca are great though. Their start bias kicks rear end (good production, good defense), their domestic trade routes are a great source of food if you're feeling gun shy on the TFs, you can teleport through mountains what the gently caress, and I don't know where I stand with the terrace but I'm enjoying the question. The fact that you're going to spend a lot of time around volcanoes means you've got a certain amount of risk management going on, and sometimes you get boned, but it's also hilarious. Oh, that's another thing about terrace farms. I've never not started next to a volcano, and terrace farms are their favorite food. I get the feeling Inca are noticeably worse when you turn disasters up. Too bad population doesn't directly improve science generation the way it did in 5. It's weird to be making new citizens just so you can work more food-heavy tiles so you can make new citizens in order to work more food, etc. Maybe it's better to replace most of your terrace farms with mines in the mid-late game so your citizens are doing more for you.

Even Civ 4 feels annoyingly old to me, and I haven't played 2 since elementary school, so I take it this'll be an uphill battle for my impatient, spoiled self. And if playing peacefully is a new idea in the Civ series, I expect I'll be losing a lot before I get a feel for how aggressive I have to be. New people should start with Gaians, yeah? I look forward to seeing what miserable and incomprehensible future their ideals will create.

The one-city challenge is really interesting with Russia (spending great people can expand your borders past the 3-tile line!), but maybe it should be the two-city challenge for Civ 6. How did OCC work in 5 when taking someone's capitol? Did you auto-raze it like everything else?

I like to go scout/scout/warrior/settler because I really want to find those three city-states and my nearest neighbor for the corresponding tech boosts, and the goody huts aren't bad either. The warrior is for guarding the settler and killing early barb camps, since slingers are a little too squishy for those tasks. Or, if I'm not feeling lazy, I'll do the slinger thing so I can kill a neighbor, whereupon I will discover that the nearest civ is miles away and I lose interest.
