Like tbh I was only kind of paying attention to this game and occasionally lurking this thread for news every so often But the realization that they're clearly roasting everyone's nuts with their emblematic unit and district choices has caused my interest to skyrocket.

Having recently gone back to civ 6 and found some of the quotes and overall attitude of the game a bit lovely, I'm totally here for the humankind nut roasting.

re: roasted nuts, it only takes one splash of spray paint to turn Australia's emblematic unit into some kind of Mad Max vehicle. Combined with the monster mine, it's hard to escape the impression the devs have heard this continent screaming "witness me" Tree Bucket fucked around with this message at 00:53 on Apr 21, 2021 |

Look, it's the contemporary era, we might as well chuck down some strip-mines, the game's almost over anyway.

This OpenDev seems significantly better than Lucy, imo. The pace of the game is so much better and you can actually interact with other elements of the game. I'm still quite glad they delayed it and have another 4 months to tighten things up but I'm a lot more confident than before that this will be fun to play in August.

I had a vassal go Hun > Mongol in order to try and backstab me. Too bad about my megacity being able to pop out entire stacks of units. In the end nothing changed except a whole lot of people got killed. Eras definitely go slower and farming fame vs advancing eras for tech is definitely a hard choice now. Faster population growth in the early game means that food civs are powerful now and food is not a wasted resource.

I would have replaced Turkey for Saudi or Iran or something in contemporary but IDK. It's not just a list of "most influential", it obvious comprises a bunch of variables including attempting to have a representative country from each large geopolitical area. Take away Sweden and there's zero European contemporary cultures at all which I guess would strike a little odd. Sweden at least cuts a slightly different figure than most, in that it has a sort of neutral/ecological/social democratic aspect to it. Most of the rest are just big, populous and faintly to fully autocratic lol. I would also have liked to see Nigeria over Egypt I guess, but honestly post 1945 as a whole there's a lot more to draw on with regards to Egypt than Nigeria.

Is there a good wiki or a guide somewhere? I know it's early days but like how do I get more stars (influence)? Why are my neighbours getting control of the territories before I am? I have played Endless Legend/Space so I know what I need I guess, I just don't really know how to get it.

The USSR was made up of several modern day European nations. I'd certainly consider them a European nation, even if most of their landmass was in Asia.

I'd probably be more inclined to consider 19th Century Russia pre-USSR as part of Europe, rather like the Ottoman Empire. I think post-1945, given the Cold War and the political divisions since then, it's a little weird to consider them part of Europe, given that the vast majority of European history post-1945 is dominated by the EEC, EU and NATO - specifically in opposition to the USSR. I do take your overall point, but I think it just rings a little strange to me. It would almost be like saying there's a good argument for removing Japan because China is already emblematic of East Asia. Still, it's less about who deserves to be emblematic of where and more to do of presenting a wide array of contrasting styles and politics that represent the period. Personally, I think Sweden is a pretty good pick on the whole because it captures something different from the others. Honestly it does practically seem like a stand-in for the EU lol, but since the EU doesn't really fit their mold.

Its almost like all nations would be equally valid, assuming you can videogame up a decent rationale. Everywhere has some kind of history or context to draw upon, even if it would be unfamiliar.

Money is super overpowered once you get rolling. I've built out all my improvements and then a few districts for my cities, only thing I'm missing is the population to use it. Also city spam wins out super hard because of how incredibly late and expensive hamlets are.

Anno posted:Looks like all the contemporary Civs have been data mined from this too. Turkey is an interesting choice, though they're having a sustained period of relevance for the last few years thanks to their military adventurism and Ottoman Revanchism so perhaps its more warranted than it has been in a while. Egypt and Sweden are strange choices to me, since Egypt seems to be occupying the slot that "should" go to Iran or Saudi Arabia while Sweden could easily be replaced with a lot of other more geopolitically relevant European countries like the UK, France, or Germany. Still though, hardly a deal breaker and there is always space in future DLC for these things. There was some speculation that the EU itself would be one of the civs but its seems like they're not going in that direction. I never had strong feelings on that one way or the other but know we know. Overall kinda boilerplate aside from a few curveballs.

Eh, the west most certainly painted the USSR as Asian during the Coldwar to try and insinuate that they were different but I'd argue it was mostly about who dominate Europe - Russia or America. Very simplistic way of looking at the cold War though, I admit. AnEdgelord posted:Turkey is an interesting choice, though they're having a sustained period of relevance for the last few years thanks to their military adventurism and Ottoman Revanchism so perhaps its more warranted than it has been in a while. Egypt was pretty important in the early and mid parts of the cold War. They were also a big Hotspot during the Arab spring. Saudi Arabia definitely played a more important role in influencing the middle east and world, and Iran is already in as Persia so I assume that's why they skipped them - just like how France, Germany, and UK aren't in.
