The soundtracks are incredible and apparently are unique per civ (don't think per leader) and will change as you go through the ages? I want to play each civ just to listen to their music now.

Jastiger posted:Nice user name Yeah thanks, I'm a super creative dude. Someday I'll actually get around to changing it, I've only been meaning to for like 3 years now. On topic, loving the soundtrack, even if I can't identify which civ a lot of them belong to. Looking forward to hopefully busting open the game files in a couple of hours and seeing which is which. Need to hear those Aztec themes! SlothBear posted:The soundtracks are incredible and apparently are unique per civ (don't think per leader) and will change as you go through the ages?

I'm playing a dangerous game. Forgot to refund my Steam bought Civ 6 last night so I could buy the GMG Deluxe edition. Send in my request this morning but now I gotta wait for it to process before adding my GMG key to Steam. This better go through before 11 PM tonight or I'm gonna be real sad.

Honestly it looks like the AI is better than people are giving credit for, even if it's not great. But I guess I'll find out in an hour. When wars lasted more than a few turns cities did get wrecked, but not a lot of wars were decalred in general. Anyway, Modders are pretty optimistic about this game too, so you know.

As a person who dabbles a bit into video game AI(including 4X AI, I rewrote the strategic AI for the game Sword of the Stars 2 a while back for my own personal use), I must say that the idea of trying to make a good AI for a game like Civ 6 would kind of terrify me. There are so many variables you have to keep track of, so many possible consequences to every action.

Sogno di Volare really has that "this is what a game about civilization should sound like" thing going on just like Baba Yetu did. I'm not crying, you're crying!

30 minutes for you VPN cheaters and Oceania dwellers. Haven't kept up too much with the in-depth streams. Which civ seems best for high-production and wonder whoring? It looks like China and Japan for early and late, respectively.

If you're using a vpn, do you just need that to unlock, or do you need to keep it running any time you want to play until your actual region release?

The White Dragon posted:This sounds like a terrible idea because most modders don't understand a thing about balance and AI hacks tend to be squarely in the territory of tryhards who have otherwise failed out of life and are only good at one specific game who think it's okay to bury cool features like new units and abilities under "We removed easy mode and the game now spawns four times as many enemies. Why? Because I can handle it... what, you can't? You couldn't be more wrong. Modders put out some extremely good civ 5 AI fixes. If you want to stick with a busted AI you can keep the original one the game ships with.

The game will be released in the eastern countries in 9 hours: at 2 AM eastern Aus time, or 11 AM EST. Valve doesn't care if you VPN to play a game early, only if you VPN to cheat regional pricing. If something doesn't make sense, try reading the Civilopedia
