Gedemon is actually working on an overhaul mod that adds supply lines for units, among many other things. It sounds interesting but also really complex. If it even gets more or less finished, Gedemon is saying it'll take years.

John F Bennett posted:Cities should not be able to bombard. Nah I think this is a really under-celebrated system that Civ VI got right. Cities need walls to bombard, meaning early and new cities need protection until they're willing to commit the production cost for walls. And trading that time in an early city from a monument or granary to walls can be a pretty important choice. It's a solid system.

This "archers have riskless attacks and decent melee defense so every army is 90% archers" poo poo has gotta go.

I like Civ VI's barbarians a lot. I wish that a rough start (e.g. starting somewhere you could have two or more camps alerted to you) weren't so rough, though. You can survive by cranking out military units, but there's a huge opportunity cost; unless you're one of the civs that gets something more from fighting them, you're better off starting over. Maybe lift the experience cap in the first age, where number of camps alerted to you = max promotion level for full barbarian XP?

An actual notification where the camp is when it spawns or when you first explore into it would be nice too. That dumb sound effect is just annoying since it means you have to look around every single tile you have explored and it took a while before I even figured out what it meant. Total dev fail.

markus_cz posted:This has been happening for some time and must be a bug. I use no mods whatsoever and I've done a clean reinstall. Hopefully they'll get it fixed in the upcoming expansion because I've sent them like a million crash reports. So far the "only" solution is to plan your whole turn ahead while letting it crash and restarting... and then once you know exactly what you want to do, just load the game, do all the moves very quickly and send it before it manages to crash. It's not a very good solution. I'll go ahead and test the no music theory since it crashed me another two times within a handful of minutes. This is kinda a bummer to discover.

Yeah, the expansion includes eight new civs, plus Chandragupta as an alternate leader choice for India, in addition to all the new mechanics and whatnot. So far we have Korea, the Netherlands, Mongolia, the Cree, and now Georgia. Three left.

Are we sure it's Georgia? It could be Armenia, or Trebizond, or Byzantium? Maybe the Seljuk Turks? I don't know which of these have lions as symbol.

Just lifting this from CivFanatics but the sword, shield and round knuckledusters(?) are all Georgian style, Queen Tamar has a quote likening her to a lion and the lion pictured is lifted directly from a painting by a a Georgian artist.

Tamar of Georgia was pretty memetic back when people were trying to decipher the board of leaders before launch.

What is so weird about this series is that the developers can see Civfanatics and respond to calls for Brazil and Georgia, but can't do anything in response to "Rationalism in Civ V is clearly overpowered" or "I'd like a UI developed by humans for humans."

It's not just the UI that's poorly-made, but the written text for the different abilities of leaders and civilizations are incredibly sloppy. Go read the descriptions for Hanzas and the Roman Baths for both very minimalist writing and how not to copy/paste. The Brazilian ability Amazon is flat out wrong; you don't get +1 housing from rainforest, that's just a consequence of rainforests providing +1 appeal to Brazilian lands. Descriptions for leader abilities are inconsistent in which person it refers to (the leader, the civilization, you, etc.). It's all a bunch of little things, but it's one more aspect in which Firaxis are so unfocused. Funnily enough, if you read Harald's civilopedia page, it mentions at one point getting a Just Cause enhancer belief: there is no such belief in the game. On that note, I love how even that page admits that there is no real synergy between the Stave Church building and the rest of Norway's abilities.

They even specifically noted they made all religions completely the same just because someone or another would inevitably flip their poo poo if they weren't.

It's quite weird that Armenia has never been in it but perhaps it opens a bit of a thing with Turkey. Trebizond would be a really weird civ to throw into the game. Short lived successor states are surely not something that they'd ever bother with?

Gort posted:I'm OK with ranged units like they were in Civ 4. Bombers could damage you down to 20% or so after 8 runs or so, but they couldn't kill you. Let ranged units (and cities?) counter ranged attacks (possibly at half-strength?), and reduce melee defense of ranged units to almost nothing? Maybe give non-ranged units an early promotion that reduces damage from ranged attacks.

Straight White Shark posted:I'm only a game and a half into Civ6 and I think it's very worth it. The most glaring flaw is that they somehow made archers even more dominant than Civ5 and the AI still can't cope. It leaves a good first impression, but it's kinda shallow. Still, enjoy it while it's enjoyable. I did have fun with it at first as well.

I think I got about 4 games in before I realised that domination is so superior to any other victory and started conquering people at the start. Which I've never done in a Civ before but it just feels like anything else here takes forever.

A couple of games in and you'll be like: "This game is great. I'm going to up the difficulty a little bit, pay close attention to my empire, and really enjoy the nuances of this game. Look, I have extra spice. I should trade that with someone. No reason to have extra spice laying around when gold can be made off of it. So how do I find out who needs spice? I have to check each individual leader screen? Oh look, I finally found someone needing spice. They want to give me $1 per turn in exchange for spice as long as I throw in Michelago's David. Maybe I'll just hold onto to this extra luxury resource, that is of no value to me, because the game punishes me for trying to trade this extra resource that exists and was designed specifically to be traded."
