I have a feeling that it's gonna be like Civ V all over again where I groan as soon as I see Alex in a game with me, cause he's an unrelenting smug dickhead forever.

I'm going to rename all of my cities to Alexandria so Alex thinks he already conquered me.

The Human Crouton posted:That's such a bad idea by the developers. It sounds cool when you are Alex, but imagine a battle against him, and all of his units suddenly heal because he took a city from another player halfway around the world. That means he's waging two wars at once. A reasonable drawback, I'd say.

First an AI player needs to be able to fight a war on two fronts well enough to actually take a city.

It's a good mechanic because it's different. Much better than a boring '+10 to attribute for x turns' like games like to do. ^^ also that.

Is any leader a bigger dickhead than Teddy? Every single game I have played against the motherfucker he constantly declares joint wars against me. So much for keeping the peace on the continent you fat sack of poo poo. Seriously, earlier today he gave me the bully for you for keeping the peace comment and less than 10 turns later joint declared on me. Goddamn I hate Teddy.

Finally picked up the game while a hard copy was on sale at a local store, and have gotten started as France. Think I got hosed in my starting location, though, island map and most of my island is frozen tundra (I'm France). All my close nearby islands are occupied by other civs. This game is definitely taking some getting used to. Pretty, though. I love seeing every new building I construct in a city.

I could still see this happening just often enough to be insanely obnoxious when you add it to the fact that on higher difficulties it feels like the AI units get promotions every other turn and heal 50hp.

Clearly it'll be your fault for letting him live long enough for any AI to finish a wonder. Alex is going to be one of those civs you want to kill on sight.

My long time friend and ally, John Curtin of Australia, just wouldn't stop with his space ports and his space projects, and all of my sabotage attempts completely failed. So I had to nuke him. The thing is, he didn't notice? Like, it didn't put me at war with him and none of the other civs reacted either. Hell of a glitch. I was on the losing track in that game anyway but it was one of those rare Immortal games where everyone was at about the same level except for my neighbour, Sumeria, who got sucker punched early on by me. I grabbed an unprotected settler with my warrior scout and founded a city despite it being on the far side of his territory because I knew I could defend it from him. I couldn't defend it from Japan, however, whose homeland happened to be another tile or two into the fog of war. Fast forward a few thousand years and the highlight of the game was me finding out that I can declare a war of reconquest for zero warmonger penalty to reclaim my now size 17 metropolis (featuring the Great Lighthouse). I decided to raze one of his late game poo poo satellite cities just to see if everyone was paying attention, and yep, instant -30 warmonger penalties from the entire world. drat the fourth estate!

The game should automatically change the interface language to match the civilization you're playing.

If you're using the Historicity++ mod, or other mods which alter civilization text (including diplomacy), it seems like the game goes full retard and picks the first language in the localization files for unaltered text, which happens to be Brazilian Portuguese. (Historicity++ was responsible for the "The Lucky Country" text in the screenshot I posted a while back, fwiw.)

I kinda wish Civ would implant the "ahead of time" penalty to research in EU4. If you research a technology before it's "intended" date you get a penalty to the cost which increases the further ahead you are. It would slow down people snowballing ahead a little while still allowing them to get an advantage by focusing on tech.

That's awful. Civ in no way should be similar to EU. It is not a history simulator, and it shouldn't try to be.

I think you should automatically discover techs after X turns regardless of what you do. Also you should only get units after Y amount of time, that way it would prevent people from building too many units. And of course you can only build a city after Z turns. That way it keeps things even.

Seriously though, some kind of +% modifier to discover a tech when its already been discover by civs you have contact with would probably be an improvement to this series It would help to address tech snowballing, which is a problem this series always had. Once you are too ahead in tech (or too behind), the game is already over

I always thought it might be interesting if tech eras were set in stone by game turn - the entire world enters the classical era on turn 40, for example. The rewards from science, on the other hand, would not be set in stone. In the Industrial era, the couple of nations with the best science output are getting dreadnoughts and airships while the lowest-tech nations are getting mobs of conscripts with rifles at best, but they're still all recognisably Industrial-era units. There aren't really that many time periods where one side is so advanced that their stuff might as well be aliens from space as far as the other side's concerned (EG: Spain vs Aztecs, or Imperial-power navy vs unindustrialised coastal city) and they're better represented by the barbarians, city states, or scenarios that this game already has than by "Yo, Jeff got more science than you so fight his artillery with your swordsmen" stuff. It certainly wouldn't be much fun to be annihilated by smallpox halfway through a game.

My favorite Civilization story is from Civ III. Playing a large map with two giant super continents, go all the way to modern era. I do some scouting and discover the Iriquois who by some random quirk were stuck on a small island, 20 or so tiles from either of the two continents. They were super far behind, like still in the medieval era. I chat with them for a bit. Eventually one of the AI wants info on the Iriquois and I give it to him. Two turns later the Iriquois is in the modern era and ahead of me in technology. Apparently the AI decided, to, um, give them pretty much every tech ever.

I don't know if I've already complained about this, but if you're official friends with somebody, and they declare war on a city-state you're the suzerain of, the only way to stop them is to put six units around the city-state so they can't actually get inside it.

This was an important aspect of Civ3 strategy. The AI would trade all techs with each other between player turns all the goddamn time. So, on high level play, you would get a low priority tech, trade it for a useful one to AI1, then trade that tech to AI2, so on and so forth. Civ3 was dumb/hilarious.
