Canada and Australia are already in the game, as England. Although an independence mechanic could be interesting.

Rise of Nations had supply wagons that prevented attrition damage in enemy territory in a big aoe. Conversely if you were Russia and researched all the attrition techs and wonders enemy armies without supply wagons would get passively annihilated just by entering your borders it was cool.

The way to curb ICS is to make new colonies a resource sink until they are established and having cities built in crappy terrain remain uneconomic. Large population centres should also grow faster than small ones as long as there's sufficient food available. IMO.

Gladi posted:Aside from the fact that some people in the era kept talking about being German, which they hardly would do if it had no meaning, their opinions are not relevant in this example. The opinion of modern Germans is.

Why are you frantically clicking on all your units. Just wait a milisecond for the autocycle to go through them for you.

The civopedia is horrendous; some of the entries read like white nationalist humour. Combined with the terrible quotes it gives the game an anti-intellectual and cynical tone that's completely wrong for the franchise.

I'd like a "pseudo-earth" map type where spawn points aren't further seperated than shallow coast. It's dumb, we either have pangea maps where the seas largely don't matter or continents where certain players are totally isolated for half the game, neither of which is a good approximation of history.

Why don't they just scale district cost on either districts per city, or possibly, per empire. You still want them practically buildable early game yet not trivially cheap later on.

I think I complained about this already, but I really seriously want an Earth-like type map in between Continents and Pangaea. Does anyone know anything about map modding or can I petition Firaxis or something?

I can't get past this map thing. Pangaea completely negates any naval gameplay; coastal cities, exploration, colonisation, navies, certain civs like Norway, and the landmass is almost always a boring blob. You can't even do much around the edge because North and South get blocked off by ice. So I load up continents and after 50 turns I discover that I'm alone on my landmass and won't be interacting with any other players for half the game. It would be nice if someone at Firaxis actually bothered to look at a globe for their human history game. Ratios and Tendency fucked around with this message at 21:47 on Mar 30, 2017 |
