Horizon Burning posted:i'm using the beta and resources still seem really low? if there was oil and uranium in the game i just did, it was wholly on the new world continent The wording implied they reduced amount of games with low or non-existent end-game resources. I understood that they did not make it impossible for the game to to spawn with no or low resources. Just less likely (how much?) than before. If there are any territories on ocean with islands, search them completely too. I've found several oil from sea at the map border, next to some tiny 2-3 hex island.

I want to play a game as the huns but I don't want to play until they fix that independent nation influence bug, which it seems like they are ignoring! I've not had any issues with resources but that bug is seriously game breaking.

I'm playing on the beta and something that I've noticed is that civics scale insanely fast, as does the cost of attaching cities. I have a useless 20~ pop city that I just can't do poo poo because I want to attach it but it costs 50k!!!! influence do.  Also just enacting some civics that before had a cost of like 2k is 20k. Weird poo poo going on.Thought I did find out that the harbor civs are amazing if you set up to exploit them. With mostly coastal cities you can get basically 4 harbors per territory. Normal harbor, Cothon, Whatever the Norse one is called, and then another harbor. Going the food based faith stuff this basically solves food for the entire game for you. It surprised the hell out of me for how effective it is. Eimi fucked around with this message at 08:29 on Aug 25, 2021 |

I do wish they'd fix the calendar, though. I like that I can end the game by turn 140, but not the fact that it calls that 500 BC or whatever.

I learned that star thresholds are fixed per era and not based off of your end-of-era score. So you can start up an era and already have earned stars. I started my current game out intending to be a peaceful trade empire, and now I find myself first-picking Russia in the Industrial Age. I feel like Russia's probably not picked very often, and certainly not first picked very often, but let me assure you, this is not the behavior of a peaceful country.

How do you increase max population in your cities?

Dr. Video Games 0031 posted:How do you increase max population in your cities? maker/market/farmer districts increase it by 1 and there are several infrastructure upgrades that add to it too. the population cap is the amount of "slots" you have for the various jobs, so if an upgrade says something like "adds 2 worker slots" that means +2 max population.

Your population can go over the "max" anyway, they're just unemployed and useless until you build more jobs for them.

You can also build hamlets, one per territory, that increase slots +1 per resource. If it isn't clear, your city pop cap is the amount of open slots per resource i.e. workers/farmers/researchers etc.

Your Computer posted:it's worse, every "person" over the population limit eats 10x the normal amount of food They really really need to add a way to funnel population from one city to another. Building and disbanding military units is stupid clunky. That and the infrastructure upgrades not having a retroactive buildable are my two city management gripes rn.

Tree Bucket posted:Hang on, what do you mean by that one? So later in the game you get settler units who build cities that come with all the infrastructure buildings pre-built. This means a newly-settled city is often better than one you settled back in the dawn of time. It'd be good if there was some kind of buildable item you could build once you get those settler units that can bring your old cities up to the level of the newly-settled ones.

It's so frustrating the settle only eats one population but creates 3. I would love it if I could just hive 20 pops off my biggest city and dump them on a new continent. There also an implication of migration with some mechanics so opefully they will expand on it.

Once you get that settler tech, you can found a city (which will have all the infrastructure), merge with an already existing city, split them up again, and now the old city will have all infrastructure upgrades too. It's probably not working as intended, and costs influence, but it gives you free infrastructure.

Dare I ask what happens if you keep shuttling those 2 extra pop back to the origin city and building more settlers in some sort of perpetual growth machine

I like most of this game's core design more than I like Civ 6 and maybe even Civ 5, but I'm not quite sold on cultures changing every era thing. It's somewhat fun, I suppose, and I'm glad they tried it but I hope they try something else in the inevitable sequel. What I'd personally do is let players pick a culture, but make it mostly cosmetic. If you pick France, you get Napoleon as the figurehead (and his personality if the AI picks France) and the French artstyle for units and cities, but no mechanical differences. Instead you'd pick national traits during the game. If they just wanted to copy-paste the mechanic from this game, they could just rename the traits so that, for example, the Egyptians are now the Monument Builders and the Harrapans are the Flood Farmers and the civilizations in game would progress from, say, France the Monument Builders to France the Legion Raisers to France the Horde, etc. Or you'd just have two separate talent trees, one for civics which you can change depending on the situation and one for 'national character' where you pick permanent options based on what you've had to deal with.

I really wish they'd identify other players mainly by their avatar or some other static feature. It's still weird to be like, "OK, got the Nubians to the south, we get on OK" and then next age they're the Carthaginians and nobody sent you a memo.

they need an "equilibrium" or "stagnation" state for cities so they don't constantly trigger starvation warnings every turn

I think it refers to the rebel stacks that spawn when a city has low stability for too long. So, it increases the timer tiil they appear, gives you more time to rectify the situation.

It won't destroy the districts but population and infrastructure disappears yeah. That said it's a pretty good way of crippling the enemy especially later on when having to build population up from zero is more painful.

They just have to drastically reduce numbers on everything, you just scale waaayyyy too much even after the first couple eras. Like barely beyond ancient era and it’s 1 turn per district just smashing them out.
