about to retaliate and take vijayajaja

if i wasnt england i would be super raped because i have exactly zero iron available by any means

ghandhi bastard

still have that england game, its going well, gandhi has 1 city left


started a new game, japanese regular conditions, continents, trying a full military style. didnt do anything but kill barbarians to provoke either civ, but now both the aztecs and egyptians are at war with me, good thing i kept enough gold to become allies with this citystate for my survival

kill about 8 enemy units while losing 3, and i fall further behind the cpu

about that

and they still both are asking me for all my resources and gold for peace

also obligatory im japan and have no iron anywhere near me for samurai

started another jap game, didnt have any iron this time but there was a citystate near me with 4 iron and i scouted it early enough to save my cash to buy allies with it

ottomans declared war on me after like 30 turns for no real reason, sent in 5 warriors and i was able to defend with my capital city and 1 spearman long enough to build an archer and bring it in

since i was teching toward military, had an iron source, and had aggressive/close enemies, went all out military strength for timing push @ swordsman/catapults, walked through the ottomans, took 1 city then their capital, then 2 more cities toward the persians who shared borders with both of us

after i took the city on the persian border, it was perfect timing for another timing attack with 4 swordsman->samurai

took 2 civs capitals before 1000 ad

this is on difficulty 6, so i think im actually pretty well learned about this game now

it really feels like anything above this difficulty would be all about manipulating AI/trading/etc

Techs scale down in beaker cost for every civ that already has it learned, but only if you've already met them. This makes exploration / meeting all the civs, even more important.

apparently once a civ is denouncing you for being a warmonger, they wont trade with you no matter what you offer

really hurting my city growth being in unhappiness for 100 turns in a row

not necessarily true
some civs denounce and see you as a warmonger but forget about it later

the underlying civ ai makes permanent decisions along the course of the game about how they see you
you can always check this by trading them 1 gpt for 22 gold. anything less than 22 is a perm fuck you

won a domination victory with japan
always fight at full strength passive is OP

<3 japan

since they are referring to many/most of the xpac features are any of these backwards compatible? i assume they would be..

not sure
will wait for john to report back

- Better “Next Unit” selection. Previously, the camera would jump great distances to select the next unit that needs orders, when a closer unit was available.

fuck yes

huge

- Two top-of-screen messages added to explain what is going on with intercepts (one for if the attacking air unit is eliminated, and another if he is just damaged).

- Fix auto-scrolling between turns. If a user was scrolling when a turn ended, or when combat ended, it would occasionally get “stuck” and continue scrolling.


two biggest issues with the game, both fixed

three fighters (one unit) fly over your artillery, two of the three get shot down

next turn, same fighter unit does the same move, it has 1 or 2 less life points and 3 graphical units still

they are engine changes so, without actually confirming through playing, yes they apply to the non-expac too

will be playing this weekend

GAME?

playing against computers is like playing against computers in starcraft, its 10% of the fun of multiplayer

need to make a new civ thread

because a new thread accomplishes more threads?

long threads that arent posted in very often are hard to keep up with

how is something that isnt "posted in very often" hard to keep up with?
