Ratios and Tendency posted:Canada and Australia are already in the game, as England. Although an independence mechanic could be interesting. Does that mean we should remove America, too, since England's already in? (Just to clarify, I don't think we need a Canadian civilization either but this is a really bad argument against it.)

Fister Roboto posted:The US isn't part of the British Commonwealth. India is, though the Queen is not their monarch anymore. The Commonwealth of Nations (it hasn't been the British Commonwealth since 1947) contains members who were never part of the British Empire and the Queen isn't the monarch of the majority of the countries in it. She is the titular and ceremonial monarch of Canada but Canada is independent of the British parliament. I don't actually think Civilization should remove the American civilization or that Canada needs a civ, but claiming that Canada is part of England is ludicrous. edit: vvvv no demand for it here, just don't call us British.

Aerdan posted:...Come up with 43 alternate leaders, one per Civ5 civilization, then, and UAs for each. You can't use fictional leaders, you can't pull leaders from other civilizations unless they're part of the conglomerate (so no non-British Celtic leaders, for instance), and you certainly can't use prominent people who weren't widely-recognized champions of a national identity for the civilization. They have to be not alive. Also you can't use Hitler.

IcePhoenix posted:I wonder about the Eureka bonus, because in the video their bonus was half of a tech/civic, but that's what every civ was getting in the press release. The press release came out two months after the China video though so it could have been a bug or it could have been changed. I kind of hope it was bugged though because getting half of a research seemed like it was way too much (and was probably why so many streamers were able to fly ahead in tech so fast). A Chinese site I found with rather up-to-date examples of everything claims that most civs do indeed get a 50% reduction in required science to research when they Eureka; China gets 60%. Whether this is what it is when it goes live, I can't say.

Randarkman posted:Iran is not a modern name. Iran is what Iranians have called the country and the empires of that country for more than two thousand years. Persia is a region in Iran and Persians but an ethnic group. Specifically, it's the Greeks who called it Persia (well, Persis) as a whole and it stuck around. Iran, Iranzamin (very old) and Iranshahr/Eranshahr (Sassanid-era) are more names for it. It really isn't new. It will probably never be called anything but Persia in Civ though.

Olive Branch posted:Which Civ game would be the best for good AI, Civ 4? No Civ game had particularly good AI, but doomstacks play to the military AI's strengths (overwhelming production) rather than its weakness (moving things around in a sensible manner without taking forever to calculate), so it was less obvious. Or necessary, if you look at it that way; it was Good Enough for what it needed to do. That said, I'm bad enough at the game that I play on Prince anyhow (or whatever the middle difficulty is, I don't remember) so it's not going to matter to me.  I get fun games out of it.

So, uh, Arabia. Saladin's religion has 1/10th cost holy buildings for everyone who wants to build one. Talk about an incentive to spread his religion. I don't remember that bonus from Well of Souls. Also he gets science for every foreign city following his religion, so that's nice.

While being a good peaceful Arabia trying to build up some science and faith, I got attacked and steamrolled by a Tomyris who had just open-bordered with Japan, and was smart enough to bring her horses through Japan's territory instead of trying to jam them through the one-tile-wide mountain pass much closer to her that I had units near but not quite blocking yet. So many horses. A+, would lose again to Tomyris blitz.

MMM Whatchya Say posted:So far it seems like the people who booted up a non war focused civ and try to play like civ v have been having some trouble. I probably would have been flattened by Gorgo if I wasn't spamming Eagle Warriors, which are fantastic. That's pretty much exactly what happened to me, yeah. I had an army, but it wasn't nearly as big as hers was; I had three cities, but two were fairly small as they hadn't been founded for long, and was suzerain of two city-states, while she had just conquered three city-states that I saw (and I couldn't see all of her territory) and had a couple founded cities also. I'd assumed that the terrain would slow her down if she wanted to invade, but I hadn't taken into account her making friends with Japan. It was a surprise. That AI is not at all as passive as the stream made it look.

Kanfy posted:To my knowledge there are no "holy cities" in VI, if you can't hold on to your religion and nobody else will spread it either then as far as I can tell it's gone for good. Always keep some inquisitors handy for a rainy day. I don't know how it works exactly, but they do at least exist for pressure because Jerusalem's city-state power is to immediately convert to your religion and exert pressure as if it was a second Holy City.
