Trivia posted:Even still Nimoy's readings were excellent. I was pretty disappointed with Civ V, and I'm not super excited about Civ VI's either. I'm kinda split on it at times, but the reading on the Chivalry quote makes up for any other shortcomings it might have.

Red Bones posted:Is it making the tech progression go this fast? That's hilarious. Is it balanced so that the AI are hitting all the eurekas too and keeping apace, or is it just something you can do as a player to throw the balance of the game completely off? The eurekas certainly help, and players are better at getting them than the AI can be, but on the other hand Quill was researching the Modern era techs in 6-7 turns with the amount of science he was turning out. Azhais posted:The downside to a line of cities would seem to be you'd miss out on all those district buildings that radiate out 6 hexes. Make your empire like a giant wheel with spokes! That's probably better, I was thinking of V's small empires. Speaking of districts, can you work tiles outside of the traditional 3 rings as districts expand your cities? Or are districts an unavoidable reduction in the raw tiles you can work?

I like that they have "opened up" a lot of mechanics to the player, it seems that there really is a lot more choices to make which I love. On the other hand, the AI being what it is, I think this will also open up breaking the game even more than what was possible before. I guess we'll see what the higher difficulties will be like.

I think you guys complaining about how not serious the Civ 6 quotes are missing how goofy some of the Civ 5 quotes are. "Any man who can drive safely while kissing a pretty girl is simply not giving the kiss the attention it deserves", for Combustion, anyone?

I'm sure he's a smart guy in real life but I have never seen a movie where Sean Bean is portrayed as the kind of person who would deliver philosophical quotes about things. I mean, I haven't seen him in anything since Game of Thrones, and he's kind of a dope in that. Nimoy, now there's a man I could believe would tell me a buncha quotes.

It's Russia! Same stuff that was leaked: Leader Unique ability: Great Embassy - Peter receives science and culture from trade routes to more advanced civilizations. Civ Unique ability: Extra territory on founding cities, treats Tundra as Plains (with +1 Faith) Civ Unique unit: Cossack - Stronger than Cavalry (which it replaces) and can move after attacking. Civ Unique district: Lavra - Replaces Holy Site. When you use a Great Person at a city with a Lavra, you add a tile to the city's cultural border.

He isnt Jason Statham characters here, hes not someone who always portrays a meathead. Now you take those words back about one of my favorite actors

Get Gilbert Gottfried to be the quote man imo. Or be like DOTA and get Justin Roiland. Anyone else think Russia seems weak as hell? Their Civ ability seems okay, but I'm bothered that Great Embassy requires you to essentially be losing to be useful, which I find is never really good design to "encourage" suboptimal plays. I'm also not sure if I'm underestimating the Lavra, but +1 tile sometimes seems like a monumentally paltry ability. It's not Civ wide, and I don't remember tiles actually being that expensive, so the gold benefit is pretty miniscule (and if it does get expensive, chances are you're grabbing suboptimal tiles at that point anyway).

I dunno how the culture victory in 6 works but if it works like it does in 5 then Russia seems like it could be a good culture civ. You end up behind on science from spending all your hammers on wonders, and you pump out lots of great people that get expended for great works, and Russia's bonuses synergise with both of those things. Abilities that claim you a lot of extra territory seem useful in a game where wide play is better and thus there is going to be a lot of conflict over getting tiles before the other civs do.

Lavra's special is a bit underwhelming, perhaps, but as a unique district, it costs half what it does for other civilizations and does not count against a city's district cap. Which means Russia can afford to put a Lavra in every city, racking up Faith and Great Prophet Points. I'd expect that Russia in VI is actually pretty good at a Religious Victory.

From watching streams I believe you need to have an amount of tourists larger than the maximum possible tourists the second highest Civ can hold. I'm probably missing a little bit there, but I've only seen the tab showing how "close" quill was a couple times in his stream/let's play. Wonders and great works will absolutely pump up your tourism, though.

GrandpaPants posted:Get Gilbert Gottfried to be the quote man imo. Or be like DOTA and get Justin Roiland. From watching quill18s Rome video, border expansion isn't super fast, especially if you don't focus on culture. He was routinely spending hundreds of gold on buying tiles, which adds up pretty fast. The extra tiles at the start (looks like a bonus +8 tiles at settling) plus the extras from the Lavra will let you get a lot of territory under control pretty quickly. +1 production and faith on Tundra is alright. Great for Tundra Woods/Hills and Tundra resources. Still won't make flat Tundra good though. The real bonus of the Lavra, as people have said, is that it is half-price and doesn't count towards the district limit. As the Holy Site is one of the two earliest districts, this means you don't really need to choose between faith and science in the early game, and pretty much every city will get a Holy Site. Basically guarantees an early religion too, since you can get GP points earlier than almost anyone. And Holy Sites everywhere means huge faith means plenty of Great People purchasing, which feeds into the Lavra for more tiles. Peter's Leader UA is weak though, depending on the numbers. It does mean that if you fall behind in one of the trees you can catch up a bit through trading. I think Russia's other abilities are strong enough to balance it out.

He generated so many great people that he was having them sit around because he didn't have any places to put their works. Domestic tourism seems to be a function of the population of your cities, so to win you have to more tourists visiting your civ than the population of the largest civ in the game other than you. I'm also not sure how it converts the domestic tourists of other nations into international tourists to your cities.

I'm not hard up about Sean Bean as the narrator, but I think I like Morgan Sheppard better. The intros to Civ V and its expansions are some of my favourites of all time- I have some misgivings that BNW didn't continue the trend of the vanilla and G&K intros, ie. Wisdom being passed down through the ages to 'Morgan Sheppard's' descendants. But the BNW intro was still beautiful enough to not matter. That being said, with each iteration of Civ I think to myself 'David Attenborough will be dead before the next one!' and get a little sad. Maybe we'll get NDT sometime though?
