Thug Lessons posted:It screwed up a few things that worked really well in older Civ games like city radius and didn't add much in return. Yeah the fat cross is a lot better than how it's done now, since three tiers of hexes being under a cities control is absurd. Two tiers isn't so bad (18 workable tiles compared to the fat cross which has 21), so I'm not sure why they made it have 37 tiles.

Civ is a game where every version takes one step forward somewhere and one step backwards somewhere else.

You would make a ship sail against the winds and currents by lighting a bonfire under her deck? I have no time for such nonsense.

Especially since you could make a snake of claimed territory. But that's not a problem inherent to hexes.

civ5 sucks cuz if you have like some oil in a tundra with like a deer also u cant just put a lil city there and be good with it being 2 pop the whole game cuz of global happiness. the game assumes you want to keep growing all ur cities

01011001 posted:im not terribly good at civs, why do hexes screw up city radii. wouldnt they make them better if anything It doesn't inherently ruin it but there are some weird things IE 2 tiers of hexes only give 18 workable tiles whereas the previous Civ fat cross gave 21 tiles. Secondly Civ5 uses 3 tiers of hexes wihch is ridiculous and gives like 37 workable tiles that'll never get used because your cities will never grow that large. Giving 3 tiers worth of hexes is also bad because it really encourages Infinite City Sprawl since 1 city will never be able to work all 37 tiles, so you can cram in 6 cities really close around one main one and be able to work all those tiles easily without any border expansion (note that Civ5 favors tall expansion over wide at this point in its balancing, so its not like this design decision makes a difference but in a vacuum its not very good + its why wide expansion was so much more powerful than tall in almost all of civ5's history)

Its a 4X game where 1 of the Xs (eXpansion) is insanely bad and settling 3-5 cities is always optimal and the endgame you get these massive massive swaths of unsettled territory. I'd rather infinite city sprawl be the one true strategy.

I never played any of the Civ games. But in Alpha Centauri I always thought that stack on stack combat essentially represented meatgrinder battles of attrition like Verdun and the north face of Kursk, and that if you engaged in them you basically already hosed up. It essentially means that the enemy discovered your plans, massed and mobilized accordingly. The best solution is to just attack somewhere else. Sea transports and building your own roads in enemy territory are the way to do it.
