I'm actually working on a mod that increases tech yield to give longer eras, I stopped working on it when I got concussed. I can have it ready within a week, I think.

Most of my Civ playing is now through GMR, and I seem to have hit a wall in my skill level. I'm fine at the early game, but I always seem to fall behind in the middle game and can't ever recover. Can anyone recommend some good tutorials that might help me figure out what I'm doing wrong?

Are you leveraging growth properly? It's by far the most important aspect of transitioning into the mid game. It fuels everything you do, most importantly science. Look at some of the LPs on youtube from the better players to see how they prioritize techs and buildings along with citizen placement. My favorite is SBFMadDjinn, as he's very skilled without being awful to listen to, while offering explanations for most things he do. Marbozir and GuardsmanBob both also have some Civ5 videos and are decent to good players, but I haven't seen too much of their stuff.

AI still not all that great at Prince with CBP. Did a four player Map as China against Rome, Byzanitum and the Inca, taking their capitals in that order. Rome was balls deep in their territory, Constantinople was in a morass of Rivers and Jungles and Cuzco had the Great Wall behind a strip of desert. Otoh, Rome was behind in tech due to going so wide, Byzantium was behind in just about everything else and the Inca had their Capital about 8 spaces away from my third city. It probably also helped that city number two was right next to Lake Victoria and number three was nestled in some mountains and hills with two Iron spots and King Solomon's Mines at three spaces away.

My guess is you're not pushing enough vertical growth, and are not beelining education. Get at least 1 worker per city, have farms come online every time you get a pop growth, and funnel food caravans to your capital. Keep your troops pushed out as sentries and keep tabs on your neighbours, and watch for evidence of them going for a timing push. Meanwhile, you can feed your growth into more growth, or position yourself for a timing push yourself.

Also keep an eye on nearby CS special units. I was playing a GMR game for over a year until I had to retire ( makes me sad). It was largely a European map, with me as Ottomans at Constantinople as my capital. I friended then allied a CS that gave me Assyrian SeigeTowers. With two of those and some compound bowman and galleases, I managed to completely wipe Rome off the map and give myself a LOT of breathing room.

Make Haiti a civilization in the game. It's time for Toussaint Louverture to shine. And don't make Teddy Roosevelt the American leader. (Too early to argue about this?) Glad Ed Beach is the lead designer.

I can't not be excited for a civ game. The new design choice is interesting, guess they're leaning into stylized art and hard lines than the realism and smooth borders the last game was going for? Combined arms sounds like a good development on 1UPT, I feel like 1UPT was a positive change over deathstacks but there were still flaws to work around. Active research sounds like a cool way to make science victories less boring. The expansive cities thing sounds interesting, I wonder if that works like Endless Legend?

Like literally the only way the top one looks worse is if you hate more vibrant colors. Look at the shadows for a real difference - in Civ 5, they're blobs. In Civ 6, they're actual distinct shapes.

Holy poo poo that's the guy that did Here I Stand/Virgin Queen. Not the best games but very interesting. Announcement's all marketing talk but if they actually mean it it could be interesting- more varied development strategies, districts outside your cities, and the changes to warfare sound nice. Probably won't get it on release though.

Echoing what the other guy said - The graphical quality in the first one is way higher, it's just got a more stylized appearance. Also combining three units into one big army  Civ Rev lives on motherfuckers!

Managing AA along side artillery and ground forces got really old with 1UPT so embedding sounds super nice. I wonder if that also spells the end of civilian/military units being able to stack together, though.

Honestly I'm most excited about multi-tile cities. That was one of my favorite features of Endless Legend, and I'm excited to see what Firaxis does with it.

I really, really like the idea of your actions in-game contributing towards specific advances but I'm 100% sure they're going to gently caress it up pretty badly at launch.

It's amazing how unappealing the new design is. It may have more polys or better shadows but it looks absolutely awful. For those that are digging it, what about it appeals?

quote:Development duties are in the hands of the team behind Civ V’s expansions, Gods & Kings and Brave New World, and when we spoke to designer Ed Beach and associate producer Sarah Darney last week to learn all the details, they told us that almost every system from the complete Civ V will be included in the sequel: trade routes, religious systems, archaeology…there’ll be no need to wait for expansions, it’s all in the base game.

I like the art, but it definitely does have a bit of mobile game feeling.Rakthar posted:For those that are digging it, what about it appeals? I like when games lean into style over realism myself. I think it's easier to get things to look good stylistically than realistically but that's just my opinion. I'm not sure if it works for this game based on three sceenshots, but I'm optimistic.
