NDA's up! There should be a bunch of videos going up, even if Firaxis doesn't publish anything today. I know quill18 is livestreaming, for one. Some of the others going live: Arumba's Filthyrobot's Youtube videos up: Marbozir quill18 Filthyrobot Writing Bull (German language) Drew Durnil (looking at the later game) Hogama fucked around with this message at 15:12 on Sep 29, 2016 |

They've been around for quite a while at least. I haven't read the Steam thread in years but I remember Bundle Stars getting talked about way back then.

Are those the whole game or just a hundred turns or so?

StashAugustine posted:Are those the whole game or just a hundred turns or so? Most of them are multi-part playthroughs with just the first part starting from the beginning out, but the copies they have aren't turn-limited. The Drew Durnil video has a look at the late game, for instance. Here's a later game government screen.

Rock Paper Shotgun has a preview up as well: https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2016/09/29/civilization-vi-brings-the-series-back-to-its-best/ The thing is basically one big love letter to the game.

Looks like there's a bunch of bonuses for colonizing other continents, which should be fun. Containment is cool thematically. Also a policy that lets you build units with only 1 of a resource?

Any word yet if the ai diplomacy is functional in multiplayer? In 5 we just usually played with only humans but it would be nice to have some functioning ai from time to time

Considering all the community effort it took to make the JDH mods and then roll it all into CBP, it would be foolish not to feature active AI in multiplayer. The simple solution, of course, is to have leader's addressing you show up as clickable icons that you can address at your leisure. The complicated problem occurs when AI's attempt to make deals with multiple players a turn without having the resources to support all trades- which still occurred with JDH but ought to be easy to fix on the dev end.

Cythereal posted:Sounds distinctly like someone at Firaxis had the Islamic Golden Age in mind when designing Arabia, which is a novel approach and quite a good one. Yeah that's my feel, you get a faith explosion religion or not once you get universities, and a guaranteed prophet at some point, so once you do get your prophet you immediately enter an age where you have hopefully a bucket of faith built up and suddenly a bunch of religious stuff to spend it on.

Does settling new cities still increase science and culture policy costs in Civ 6? I see people talking about how amenities replaced the happiness system, and other restrictions on growth like increased settler costs and population caps, but nothing about what I found the most annoying barrier to expansion in CivV.

Yeah, Global happiness was a much bigger problem than the science/culture increase, unless you planned on making GBS threads out a bunch of cities that never grow past a population of 3.

Yeah, more than a little tempted to preorder (using the cheap link posted earlier that included Monty) at this point, just to play with my girlfriend on release day. But SimCity is a thing that happened, and it poisoned me against preorders.

Gort posted:That was actually slowing your expansion? It was trivial to make the new city pay its way. I always ended up playing tall just because I didn't feel like figuring out break even points, so maybe it's not as big a deal as it seemed, but with happiness it was clear at a glance if expanding was viable or not, whereas the culture and science costs actually took some figuring and there was a point where it wasn't worth it. Especially since playing tall meant I had science/culture powerhouses so getting a new city up to a break even point would take a lot of money and or turns.

Seems like one of the harder things to adjust your civ v brain to is that movement cost is expended by moving into a tile as opposed to moving out of one.

It looks like the damage they do and the lingering effects are both more consequential than they were in Civ5, where you could nuke something and have the city survive mostly unscathed and most of the units survive too. Double-nuking was the order of the day if you wanted to actually clear a path to conquest, which always felt kind of silly. That mention of there being no countermeasure beyond uranium denial is interesting. I guess they've finally figured out that Reagan's Star Wars proposal wasn't workable?

From what I've read that video has at least few inaccuracies, wouldn't be surprised if that was one of them.

Game looks great. I've hated almost every player I've seen so far though. Many of them are taking so long between turns and decisions that the games are too boring to watch those decisions pay off. It's prince difficulty. Just play the game to get a feel for it.
