RagnarokAngel posted:Yeah I'm actually really excited because Jon Shafer was the director of 5 vanilla but then they brought on Ed Beach for the expansions. Nothing against Shafer but I'm a huge fan of Beach's work on board games and I think the fact that he's getting to design the vanilla civ 6 from scratch rather than build on a broken frame of his predecessor will be a huge positive. Do Goons play Virgin Queen?

I'm getting a grip at this game and I love it... now I need to get back to work.Your Computer posted:Do I understand it correctly that sending a trader is the only way to share food and production between your cities even if they're neighbors?

I've always wondered something about how goons see the Diplomacy in CIV or in general because I read it again and again since the early days of Civ, here is my premise: If you are winning the game, shouldn't the AI try to stop you? If the AI thinks they can win the game by doing X, shouldn't the AI go for it? Like, I couldn't give two shits about modifiers and stuff. Those 2 sentences are more than enough for me or any developer to create a Good AI©. I'm not saying ALL AI should crash its military against me, they should try to win according to their best shot. Listen, I'm never surprised or angry when a civ backstabs me; they SHOULD do it in my opinion and it's a constant reminder to not get careless. If anything I'm sad the AI didnt 7vme the moment it was clear I was gonna win the space victory because I kept sabotaging China's Rockets.

Ghostlight posted:Dogpiling isn't the AI playing to win, it's the AI playing to make you lose. Your first sentence doesn't make any sense. If I try to win and it is inevitable that someone else will win before me of course It is in my best intentions to win to prevent the other guy victory. Yes to the second sentence, ALL of the 4x board games and games in general have a "trimming" part where 2, 3 or even 4 players die, drop out or have their winning chances extinguished. If anything I believe Civ6 deals with this part way better than Civ5 or 4 ever did (I still like Community Patch for Civ5 best tho) As for the third, the challenge is that they too try to win this game. CharlieFoxtrot posted:They should just really work towards having two AI settings, one that's more tuned towards having a kind of narrative/"historical" experience, and one that is expressly designed for competitiveness so that the new Team Liquid Civ VI eSports team can have a more challenging experience I think you totally nailed it. Wish I knew more about programming AI's. As a sidenote: Ed Beach also designed Here I Stand / Virgin Queen which are the highest ranked multiplayer board games and I just lmao when I see someone playing a wargame with this narrative or social mentality. turboraton fucked around with this message at 05:40 on Oct 24, 2016 |

Ghostlight posted:There is nobody else playing the game. The AI does not improve its chances of winning by dogpiling you because once you lose the game is over. I believe that each leader with it's own traits and quirks and redacted text should try to win, call it a Grand Inquisition for Spain or Manifest Destiny for America or the need to Rise Above the Teachers as Kongo. I find it somewhat boring that people root for more uniqueness but then fall back because "it's my story". I remember loving SMAC because that Greed Guy had so much character and he saw others as mere pawns to HIS victory, actually ALL of them had the same vibe. Granted I don't know poo poo about AI and perhaps I'm asking too much when that simply isn't possible. I just imagine getting called to a secret meeting for a Grand Crusade against the leading player and people deciding tactics and where and how to attack and poo poo, then you backstab them anyways.

It's really fun watching the CIv 4 squad claiming their game at release was perfect when they had to patch a lot of major features later on. Specially the AI where I could literally nuke one or two civs to death and get denounced at max because "We Are Bros" is Good AI© I'll just make myself clear, I couldn't give two shits about threats or denounces, the BEST way to deter surprise wars is a good defending army and that has been the rule since CiV2. I believe you guys are missing CIV4 Diplo because you could exploit them to be best friends forever while in CiV5/6 they are just crazy psychos. turboraton fucked around with this message at 22:23 on Oct 26, 2016 |

I'm playing Emperor on a 12 player map as Egypt and I believe this is the most fun I've had with a civ at release since Civ2 / SMAC. Can't wait to see how the game develops with fixes, patches and expansions.

Won my Emperor 12 player game as Egypt. Stayed Friends/Allies with Greece/Rome for like 3/4 parts of the whole game while wiping out my neighbor China in a 2 time war. I think my spy at my Commercial District killed and captured like 40 spies in the whole game, no exaggeration. Just a tip for players fiddling with the "New Way of Building Cities". There are a LOT of policies that can give you the extra housing/amenities you need if you are ever stuck. Also remember that Farms/Worked Water Resources give you 0.5 Housing and that later on you get a bonus for putting a farm next to another. That leads me to another tip: Some techs/policies give you MORE than what you get on the icons, you gotta hover the mouse over them in the tech tree or when about to research a new one to learn about it.

eXXon posted:Thanks for your compelling counterargument. Remind me again how an early great scientist that gives discounts to 1-2 techs is better than Civ V great scientists that let you build an academy early on and get thousands of beakers over the course of the game, or pick any random free tech often to advance an era over what would have otherwise taken 10-20 turns of research. Or Civ V great merchants that effectively give you more cash than many Civ VI merchants and free influence to boot (envoys). Friend if you don't know about the monster that is having 25+ Trading Routes thanks to Great People I don't know what to tell you. The Great People mechanics are a serious improvement over Civ5 as they are way more interactive, an actual challenge to get a lot of them and they offer way more variety than Civ5 ever did.

eXXon posted:There are 4 great merchants who provide +1 trade route each so tell me more about how great people got you 25+ routes. More interactive, fine, more challenging seems not to be the case since apparently you can get 3+ great people every 12 turns. More variety is great except the free trade route merchant is way more powerful than the pitiful free gold/tile/envoy variety so it needs some balancing. They also give plenty of Envoys / Amenities / Stuff that makes you have a powerful city network. Also it is challenging when you are playing MP or against Kongo/Greece/Brasil or all of them on higher difficulties. Great People is one of the systems that got changed in CIV6 and I really like it. Now to try and win Immortal with 4 players.

It looks like you don't like to manage stuff. I think religious business its a nice addition and adds depth to the game. PS: Just lost a Space victory on Immortal 6player, I was SIX turns short. Silly spies failed 3 missions in a row
