Gort posted:Your real-world analogy is not relevant to a game where there's only one winner and everyone else loses. If another player is out in front in Civ, you'd better either overtake them peacefully or take them down violently, or you just lost. The last thing you should be doing is co-operating with them and making them even more likely to win. This is the problem that people have with the Civ 5 AI. It's not that it "plays to win", but rather that it's programmed to be antagonistic to the player even when it doesn't make sense to be. Yeah, it's a video game with victory conditions, but it also has to have some grounding in realistic expectations. I think you might also be overstating how good a "hey bro nice work" message is.

For specialist cities you want a location with lots of big food resources, like pigs or corn, so that you have as few non-specialist citizens as possible. Industry cities are almost identical to specialist cities, but you'll want a lot more hills. For commerce cities you want lots of flat grassland with rivers, or flood plains, and at least one food resource for growth. As for what specialists to use, you should focus on scientists and engineers, though all the other ones have uses as well. With the caste system civic you can have unlimited scientists, but engineers are much harder to come by.

Specialists are strong in the early game, but cottages are better in the late game once they've grown to towns and you get the civics that enhance them.

It's almost as if having to create and voice-act intricate diplomacy screens, and design and balance totally unique abilities and units severely limits the number of civs they can have in the game due to time and budget constraints. "But my favorite civs aren't in this game! What the gently caress firaxis!" said literally everybody.

Alkydere posted:Actually not even that. Everything we've been told is a lie and district costs are affected by whichever you're further down: the tech tree or culture tree. The farther you go, the more districts cost. Well that's cool. You can end up crippling yourself by advancing too fast because tech doesn't give you enough benefits to counter the increasing costs.

Another big problem with the tech quotes is that a lot of them are not contemporaneous with the techs that they're for. Just looking at the ancient era techs you've got: -Will Rogers and Winston Churchill on Animal Husbandry -Will Rogers on Mining -Benjamin Franklin on Sailing -Arthur C. Clarke on Astrology -Mark Twain on Writing -George Carlin on Archery -William Shakespeare on Masonry -Lorne Michaels on the Wheel Absolute loving nonsense. The only person there that is even remotely related to the subject is Mark Twain. All they did is google "quotes about x" for everything, didn't they?

My #1 wish for Civ 7 is to not have diplomatic messages force themselves onto my screen with no warning. Just put it in a notice on the side with all the others so I can read it at my leisure. No I don't need Norway yelling at me for having a lovely navy every other turn when I'm completely landlocked.

EL districts are kind of the opposite of Civ 6 districts. They're what allows you to exploit the outlying tiles rather than having citizens work them.

Yeah districts were a kind of neat idea but very flawed. My big issues with them: -You can't move, remove, or replace them at all. Once you start building one, it's there for the rest of the game. -It destroys everything underneath them and removes all terrain yields. Why? City centers don't do this. -You also can't build them on top of luxury or strategic resources for some reason. Which can be insanely frustrating when strategic resources don't appear until you unlock them. Did you settle a city that needs a specific tile for an aqueduct? Whoops, there's niter in that tile now. Too bad! -Adjacencies are kind of a neat puzzle but eventually the best solution becomes "gently caress it". -District buildings are boring. A library is +2 science. A university is +4 science. A research lab is +8 science. Wow.

That's super unlucky but it's still theoretically survivable. Definitely get slingers out faster. My typical starting build is 2x scout and a slinger, and if I get an early barb invasion I beeline the slinger. Builders and settlers have only marginal utility that early on. A builder gets you at best +3 food/production and cost 50 production, so it takes 17 turns to break even, and that's assuming you even have tiles worth using them on. A settler costs you a population point and 80 production, and unless you're going to be settling it on a really good spot (like a natural wonder), is also not going to pay off any time soon. Slingers usually pay off immediately by keeping you save from barbs and hostile AI, and more scouts give you a better chance of avoiding the invasions and also finding good stuff. Another problem is that your starting location just kinda sucks. The best tile within your first two rings is the silk, and even that's not that great. You really want to aim for tiles with at least 4 total food and production, because those actually give you double the surplus of a tile with only 3 food/production (since the citizen that works the tile has to eat two food). Or settling on a tile with more than 2 food or 1 production, like the plains hills directly left of your capitol, because that will increase your capitol's base yield. Depending on where you started and what you could see, I would have settled on the hill, or south between the silk and bananas. Also you don't have to clear the camp ASAP, the barbs won't spawn endlessly. The city state to your left might help take them out. Which isn't ideal because you'll miss out on the money and era score, but it's probably better than sacrificing a warrior. Fister Roboto fucked around with this message at 01:55 on Nov 5, 2023 |

Dr. Fraiser Chain posted:Yeah, same here. I could use a mod where it highlights which tiles can have which district or wonder and tell me what requirements are missing. I've had that screw my placement so many times, not just with dams Detailed Map Tacks: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2428969051 It won't do exactly what you want, but it will tell you when a tack that you place is invalid. Dams are easy, you can put them on any floodplains tile that has at least two sides touching a river.

Marathon can really be a gamble on higher difficulties, because if you start too close to another AI, they can easily take your capitol before you can even build your first scout.
