I guess the whole unstacking cities things means that all that destruction is a lot more visible, rather than just missing buildings in your city list or damaged units in your damaged city.

Read the Civlopedia and the Eco Ranger does nothing of the sort. It unleashes a self-propagating swarm of nanomachines that turns a four-tile square into beautiful parkland.

It's not super uncommon for pre-orders to be available at a discount. When I pre-ordered Civ 5 I did so through (IIRC) Green Man Gaming and it was like $11 cheaper. They don't seem to have a similar deal for 6, though.

Might of had something to do with the hidden agendas, but I'm going to be pretty disappointed if this game has Civ 5's "always hates you and will inevitably backstab you no matter what" AI behavior. Otherwise, bad AI is just par for the course in Civ.

I don't particularly care about AI, as long as they can put up a fight, especially if they are going to declare war. Only Civ4 ever got that right.

This is the core of what everyone who talks about AI improvement in this thread means. Personally, I remain skeptical about that part even in the face of my mounting hype about this game!

Some players mentioned that uranium is very scarce, so the counter mechanic might be to just make absolutely certain that you don't let the guy who hates you get them. I'm hoping that each uranium can only be used once so that the guy who nukes had better win to avoid the worldwide backlash.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MK2X3IxUfLY Marbozir goes through the whole tech tree. Some points: The Great People game seems way more involved. The Venetian Arsenal gives you a free naval unit whenever you make a naval unit. The Science Victory is now to establish a colony on Mars, which is the result of completing these three projects. The Replaceable Parts tech (unlocks Infantry) gives every farm +1 food for EACH adjacent farm. Modern artillery has range 2, but if you keep an observation balloon nearby it can increase their range to 3. Rocket artillery has range 3. Crossbowmen upgrade into the Field Cannon, which has ranged strength; actual siege units have "bombard strength" instead. All units have a set upkeep cost (nukes cost like 16gpt). You can build seaside resorts to produce tourism. Forts give units 2 extra turn's worth of fortification, whatever that means. AT guns now upgrade into bazookas; light cavalry upgrade into helicopters; modern armour requires uranium. Factories no longer require coal. Big Ben doubles your existing treasury. Also it appears that nuke video lied, certain units like the battleship CAN defend against nukes. ed.: The Civil Engineering civic lets you build farms on hill-plains and hill-grasslands. Privateers are invisible unless adjacent (I think they upgrade to subs?) and can coastal-raid. Planting forests is back in. The game distinguishes between old-growth and second-growth forests in terms of Appeal. There's a civic that gives you +50 gold whenever you turn a farm into a neighbourhood. There's a shitload of really cool Casus belli that come into/out of effect over the game. Colonial War lets you declare on any civ 2 tech-eras behind; Crusade declares on any prick you dares to convert one of your citizens; the late game has "War of Territorial Expansion" which is basically anyone with too much border. The general effect is to reduce warmonger penalties by 50% (Territorial Expansion only reduces by 25%). Communists can get 0 war weariness from war within their territory. There's a Shipwreck resource in the late game. One of the last policies you can unlock is ecommerce: +5 production and +10 gold from each international trade route.

Krazyface posted:Big Ben doubles your existing treasury. Just that? So if you have 10 gold you now have 20? I too was hoping for some kind of nuclear attack mechanism. For instance, if the enemy launches, the game will pause and other players are only able to launch nukes themselves. If they have a detection system in place.
