Not sure about this Egypt, I was expecting Egypt as the leader of pan-Arab nationalism sort of deal. Probably because I'm still not quite sure what the term contemporary refers to Humankind's case. Is it the cold war era or like, today?

Apparently there are some new videos popping up showcasing the Industrial era from a press event--though it was possible in the Victor OpenDev to research into the Industrial era as the Joseon (I finished the tech tree in two of my games) and see most of the stuff there, minus the wonders and actually playing the cultures. My impression is that the game starts to really snowball in terms of numbers in the Early Modern/Industrial eras. I don't have much experience with the Endless series since I always bounced off it when I reached the midgame, so I don't have much of a point of comparison there. Also, Sweden. https://twitter.com/humankindgame/status/1399757738222235657

The modern buildings are feeling a literal generic to me. Every country has arms factories and research labs. Indian ashrams are the right idea! Imagine if that had just been called 'temple' instead.

Sweden was probably just included to hit their European countries quota so it sells well in that country. They should indeed bite the bullet and just make Europe represented by the EU in the contemporary era and call it a day.

Det_no posted:Sweden has more researchers per million inhabitants than the US, Japan, Germany, etc... Don't be so demeaning, i already mentioned their science spending. your own site already shows a more obvious choice for a science civ, korea. if you look at what sweden is mostly known for today it's not science, its diplomacy, its social democracy. They have the Visby class corvette, but is that really what you think of first when you think of Sweden? If Russia has a Soviet Union theme, why not keep the cold war theme up by giving sweden the Stridsvagn? Why not a unit that somehow uses their diplomatic skills? Why use the Avicii Arena for a research institute when its an arena? It was sponsored by Ericsson for a while sure, but not build by them nor used for research. People can think there's odd choices in civ design!

Josef bugman posted:Is it any weirder than building nuclear arms in 1120 or declaring that Christianity is a blood cult based on worshiping the divine mother? So much of Civ is weird as hell when it's thought about. That's realistic. If human civilization would have focused on science and technology for the last 3000 years instead of only the last 300 years, we would have got nuclear weapons (and all the rest of modern stuff) way before. In our world, civilizations spent too much % of resources in wars and religion. If humankind would have set the science slider to 20% like people do in Civilization games, at this point we would have colonies on Saturn moons and poo poo.

I'm skeptical that technology would be that much more advanced even with a point of departure two or three thousand years ago.

Speaking personally, although I agree on EU > Sweden and that social democracy is really their defining characteristic, I don't really think of Sweden as an international mediator so much anymore. If anything, Sweden's most notable characteristic is their green technology credentials. If you need a science Civ and a European Civ in one, I think Sweden fits the bill just fine.

Lowen posted:In my experience, all the Amplitude 4x games are numbers snowballing: the movie: the game. It is certainly accurate to a degree historically for the Industrial revolution at least, though it does make me question later-game stability stuff since after building a few luxury manufactories I had 100% stability on all my cities permanently with something like a couple of hundred stability surplus, even without procession, without ever building a single commons' quarter. But then apparently the press build they played at the end of May already had a fair few changes from the Victor build, so I suppose we'll see how balance shakes out. I saw how outposts build extractors changed, which makes me wonder if how they convert to cities also changed, because I always used a little trick where you could build an extractor on an outpost, sacrifice a pop to complete it and use the "overflow" production to convert it into a city in 1 turn instead of waiting for the X turns it would normally take.

Another Tuesday, another reveal, this time it's the Turks though all of this info is already known if you care about that sort of thing since the press build had it: https://twitter.com/humankindgame/status/1402294491902529544 Of note this is the second Agrarian culture for the Contemporary era, making it the only era with two Agrarian cultures to choose from (though the Franks are halfway there with +50% food as their legacy trait). Based on press build leaked information: compared to the Brazilians they're an interesting choice, as Brazilians make every citizen better which if the population growth exponential carries over to release is pretty bonkers, but Turks give +10 stability per district which is basically the same as being able to completely ignore stability, which could be valuable depending on how stability balance shakes out. So while the Brazilians make every population point better individually, the Turks give you more population with +5 food per district, helping you trigger the Agrarian action more. The Public School is a nice science-based district in an Agrarian culture. The leaked stats are just a slightly weaker Exhibition Hall so I'm thinking that will need to change.
