Gully Foyle posted:Specifically, certain Ancient and Classical Wonders seem like they need a buff. Great Library went from one of top wonders in Civ 5 to nearly garbage tier now. Ironically, it's actually a better wonder for a Culture victory since it gives you spots to put those Works of Writing in. The mid-game are mostly fine to good, the late-game wonders are good if you are going Cultural (since basically all of them are for that). I think older wonders give more tourism in the later eras, so that might make the ancient and classical wonders better for the tourism victory. But since tourism is as opaque as it was in V, and seems to do nothing other than win the game, I must conclude that tourism sucks and you there are were right about ancient and classical wonders. So now I wonder why I wrote this.

Has anyone actually figured out what the tourism formula is yet? V's screen was so much better at surfacing how things were contributing to your cultural victory, even down to having a turn countdown

Well that was odd. Kongo declared on me, so I beat him up and took his lunch money. Shortly after, Vicky comes in and wipes him out. I'm still getting the GPT from the peace with Kongo though.

Yeah, I don't really expect the game to get much better with patches, it'll just be weird and unbalanced in different ways. See Civ 5 and infinite city spam at release, followed by outcry, and eventually building more than four cities became a luxury choice.

Is there no screen to see my active trade deals? I have 2-3 copies of citrus and tobacco improved in my territory but the trade screen only shows 1 copy of each, this makes sense since I traded some away for gold, but I'd like to know when I get them back since I'd like to trade them for other amenities instead.

I get the feeling that the same smug guys who claim this game is a cakewalk are either abusing Hansa/Horse Economy and or cherrypicking their poo poo or perhaps they are the legendary Good Goonsİ. I FINALLY managed to win an Immortal 4player game and boy did it cost me. With England none the less!

My favorite part of fighting over the limited late game strategic resources is not knowing that you don't have them until after the leader already knows that.

So if a spy steals money from you that's larger than the amount you have, it seems like it just continues draining your treasury to 0 every turn. Every time this happens you get a negative to happiness. My units are being constantly disbanded and rebellion is beginning because even though I have positive income my money resets to zero each turn.

That's annoying. Someone else already posted it there though and an apparent workaround. If you get the change policies screen and trade route chooser up at the same time the game crashes if you change policies before picking the trade route.

Yeah I posted about this bug earlier and I was also looking to see if there was any place to report it. It was doubly painful happening in a multiplayer game, I had to reload and do the whole lobby process half a dozen times before I figured out what was causing the crash.

It takes AGES to do anything military in this game, unfortunately. I think for VII I just want them to loving remake IV. Give me my doomstacks back, I don't care anymore.
