So, will the Space victory involve Alpha Centauri as is traditional, or will it be a Seedship? That's about the only question I have right now.

It's not like Civ hasn't had PopCaps in the past - though that went away after Civ3. Aqueducts in 1 through 3, Hab Complexes in AC (with faction related changes), and 3 also requires hospitals to go past 12.

Gort posted:And you don't get simpler than removing them entirely. I'm not certain how balancing using city production to build improvements in its claimed area when measured against city production for buildings would work. As it is, Workers are investments that can be used away from the city of their construction, and work in parallel to the city itself with regards to improvements.

Elias_Maluco posted:Maybe a system where you allocate pop to build the improvement, this way it can build parallel to buildings, it wont require worker units and still it involves management (since the pop you allocated to building is 1 pop less you got for food, production and etc). Makes more sense too IMHO I like that! Then the pop will start working the improved tile immediately after it's finished, which is one less point of management as you'll improve tiles with spare pops as needed, then leave them there.

Kumaton posted:So if I spawn on a continent by myself, my entire dumbshit civilization won't be able to figure out how to write? Or am I misreading how Eurekas work? Eurekas are circumstantial bonuses to researching certain Techs. I presume that Writing will allow you to open up diplomacy with other Civs, so meeting a foreign power means you've been given an incentive to research that tech faster.

Phobophilia posted:oh ffs, if you're getting 50% on a tech from an eureka, and you know you're going to activate one, then you stop researching at 50% and swap into a new tech I think you misunderstand. A Eureka bonus give you a 50% Bonus to research made on that tech. So once you've discovered another Civ, every 10 Beakers of research gives you 15 added to your total. It doesn't magically fill up half the bar.

Terrain requirements for Wonders is just another handy way to decentralize your cities and civilization - got to spread out those wonders not just around the city, but to different cities lest you choke down the one that's building them all.

Hamlet442 posted:Then it should work the other way around for the AI. One of the more annoying things in Civ 5 is an ally asking you to declare war on another civilization but they don't even bother to show up for the war, so you end up capturing everything and get the warmongering penalty for a war they started. Then that penalty stays for centuries and then they denounce you and declare war on you for being a warmonger. That came up in my last game - I was using the CBP, and Alexander asked me to declare war on the Soiux. As I was playing a military game anyways, I agreed. And because it was in the Medieval era, I looked at the score for the offer - Alex was making a request that amounted to over 300,000. So I demanded everything from him I could get, including his vassalization. He agreed. And a couple dozen turns later (due to needing to get my forces into place), the Soiux had lost their capital and were my second Vassal. Now, of only vassalization only did anything for diplomacy, instead of just taxing them and extracting demands. Alex got 25% tax rate, while the Soiux get 0% because one wasn't a douchbag.

TooMuchAbstraction posted:Having to carefully arrange casus belli for specific sub-portions of an enemy civ, or else be branded a warmonger, just doesn't seem like a good time to me. I think 'capture enemy city that shares a border with me, but not other cities of the same player' would be something to look into. A way to work against forward-settling if you will.

John F Bennett posted:What was so bad about BE? Never played it myself because I had to fill 1283 hours with Civ5 apparently. In a word? Empty. The game is there, but there's nothing in it. Rather than having major differences between leaders and civs a la AC or Civ 5, all the changes are tiny and incremental. The game doesn't feel like there's any replayability to it at all.

Here's an idea. What if Trade Routes were calculated more along the lines of Civ 4? As in, there is no global limit, but rather each city gets a certain number of routes based on buildings, and the game auto-calculates maximum yield routes and just applies them? Obviously the benefits would have to scale back due to having more routes. If they want to give players more control, perhaps giving them the option to dictate if their cities should focus on internal trade (food and production, faith) or international (gold, science, tourism) much in the same way the cities can optimize for certain resource types already.

My only worry about the expansion is that this will probably replace "Dream of Flight" as title theme, and that is the true tragedy. Unless Christopher TIn composes the new title theme.

Roland Jones posted:everything I hear makes it sound like ever going beyond four cities is catastrophic. The short answer is that the formula for Culture, Science and the like reach max efficiency at four cities, plus the Tradition policy tree only affecting your first four cities with the free buildings means that you are behind the curve with 1-3 cities, and at 5+, you are actually losing out as the newer cities cannot produce enough Culture or science to offset the penalties you acquire for having the cities, especially with the relatively slow development of them.
