I've been avoiding info on this game until today. Having just read about all the civs, definitely going Aztec first :getin:

Also I learned that stepwells are a thing and also cool as gently caress.

So I remember right after the announcement, they made a thing about having multiple leaders for civilizations, and then ended up having ...one civ with two leaders? I guess we know what every single dlc will be now.

Has anyone gotten their Steam code from gmg? Or when do you guys think it'll show up? If it's going to be like the next day, I have to decide if it's worth $16 to wait :).

Okay let's try this on my real account.


lol I assume it's just an incidental speck on the map, but this makes it look like the Isle of Mann is under an embargo like Iran and North Korea are.

Anyway I was planning to hold off on this until a sale, or at least until some reviews were in, but I'm clearly not going to do so and will be preordering imminently with money I most certainly do not have :downs:

Looks like the same for Puerto Rico. Weird map.

What pageantry? There's just a fat dude and a really, really fat dude sitting talking. Twitch chat is apparently dead. Or is the game on another stream?

When you say dead, do you mean scrolling by so fat it would be hard to read, except for the fact that half the comments are 'message deleted'?

Edit: I meant to say fast, but it seems appropriate, so I'm leaving the typo.

I realize it doesn't matter because it's like 3 minutes away, but this was 2 pages ago, I don't know if it was wrong or just changed.

:siren: The game will be released in the eastern countries in 9 hours: at 2 AM eastern Aus time, or 11 AM EST. Valve doesn't care if you VPN to play a game early, only if you VPN to cheat regional pricing. If something doesn't make sense, try reading the Civilopedia :siren:

Removed mobile guard, tried moving from Australia to Japan, restarted steam like 7 times, changed the download region, still nothing. Say available on browser, but 11 hours in steam.

I wonder if buying from GMG got me some kind of special NA only key that change be unlocked early.

Sorry if this has been asked, I haven't been following the thread since I started actually playing, but do units keep their unique bonuses as they upgrade? IE Eagle warriors continuing to capture builders?

So are sovereign borders a thing you have to research later? I'm in the classical period and Sumeria just rolled up and surrounded my capital with 7 units, and there seems to be nothing I can do about it. No asking him to gtfo my lawn, no calling him out for parking his army all around my city or anything.

The Aztec Worker bonus says a work can spend a charge to complete "20% of the original cost of a district" what does that mean exactly? The cost of each distract goes up right? Does anyone know exactly by how much? I'm wondering how long that bonus will be really worth while.

I noticed that one of the British units says "if Victoria is leader" which suggests that they're going to add other leaders for civs down the line. Not that it should be surprising. I hope England gets either Henry VIII, George III or Henry V. I don't think and of them have been leaders yet.

Hopefully all the civs from 5 will make an appearance, but Italy should be in there, not Venice. Though someone suggested that Genoa was in the files. Italy at the time of unification was from Milan wasn't it? Or was Turin the captial of the Peidmont? Also like to see Romania as well. Canada or Australia should be in the game as well, I mean if Brazil can be a civ, why not them?

David Cameron will be the other British leader. A new bonus resource, pork will be added. Britain gets +4 culture from any sources of pork.

Whatever happened to that thing they kept talking about in the promotional stuff, where a barb scout would find your city and then race back to camp? Best I can tell barb scouts just sort of mill about and try to not get murdered.

It happens, everybody ITT complaining about getting stomped by barbs doesn't try to chase down the scouts. Later on, the barb scouts are so hopelessly outclassed by up to date units that they can't really do the thing anymore.

I was just reminded of it, because I started an epic game, and my one eagle warrior was off exploring. Two scouts just came up to my capital, milled about for a few turns and hosed off, and nothing? A completely exposed capital and they didn't do anything at all. Was within the first 20 turns or so, and they were both wounded, I assume from a nearby city state. Playing on King.

Two more random questions;

If you conquer a city state, do you get their bonus? I'm guessing probably not.

And in my last game, I noticed one of the earlier civics cards was -30% build time for builders. I went looking for it later in the game when I was going to do a big builder push and it was gone. Do cards disappear sometimes?

I just declared war on myself? :iiam:

I'm Aztec. Greece asks me to joint war India, who could refuse such an offer? A few turns later Greece asks me to declare friendship, which I do. A few turns after that, Greece parks two warriors by my capital and declares a surprise war. But right after his war screen comes up, the Aztec war screen comes up as well. Maybe because I was friends with Greece? The popups on the side say it was actually Cleopatra who was the second declaration, who isn't even on this continent and may or may not be in this game.

I've now spent 2 missionaries (4 charges) trying to convert Toronto, which is very near by holy city. It's only got a population of 3, and no majority religion, so they have to have at least 2 citizens available for conversion. Why won't these heathens accept the light of allah into their hearts?

So is there just not supposed to be any war whatsoever for the last 2/3s of the game? I take an early second city from Ghandi in my marathon game in the ancient era. They recover, and completely wipe out England, taking 3 of their cities. I reach the Renaissance and casus belli him since he's denounced me every 30 turns since the beginning of time, and settles in between my cities the turn after I tell him not to, and yet I'm the warmonger who get denounced by every single civ on the map? Oh, and apparently his city that I took 2,000 years ago spawns a bunch of musketmen and a loving cannon barbarians due to war weariness like 4 turns into the war.

The punishments for going to war are absolutely absurd post Renaissance. And by Renaissance of course I mean 100AD, because that's when I reached it, apparently screwing myself out of going to war every again.

So is the game extra crashy now? I played it when it came out and it never crashed once. I heard there was a patch so i thought I'd try some more, this game now crashes on the same turn no matter what.

Edit: 3 times. Also turns take like 3x longer than they did before the patch. gently caress it, back to dwarf fortress it is.

Thought I'd give this another try now that the expansion is out.

Is the game just designed to start you out with a barbarian invasion now? It's happened the last three games. The second game the scout saw my capital on turn two and I got to spend the first 20+ turns doing nothing but fighting off the endless spawning barbarians 3 tiles away from my capital.
