    [GS] Devs discuss AI, World Congress and other things

    LOL I hear you man. Had I not played CKI and then CKII from the beginning and then as each DLC got released continued on, I. Would. Not. Know. W. T. F. Was. Going. On. At. All! The secret is that the stats and how they play out under the hood are a lot more shallow than you imagine. It's more...

    [GS] Devs discuss AI, World Congress and other things

    He was referring not just to CIV IV. That was a specific use he did of it. It's how how he has designed "games." And it's part of the Firaxis game developing style they have due to him. It permeates just about everything they do. What he fails to realize is that it makes designing an actual game...

    [GS] Devs discuss AI, World Congress and other things

    Who are these "playtesters!" And btw this sort of ai is included in some games like GalCiv3. They get angry at you once they detect you trying to win and even mention it in the diplo modifiers. Like --- because you are trying to Ascend. I love it. And BTW the developers are lying if they say...

    [GS] O, AI, your burning fields and granaries are NOT impressive... 500 years on...

    First, they have to care. And given how this game has sold, why would they? Just got back from some marathon Galciv3 games... And as many complaints as I have for that game, it makes Civ VI look like a joke. In GC3 I have to actually care as I play that the AI WILL attack me and WILL actually...

    [GS] Anyone seen any barbarian boats anymore?

    Anyone? Is it maybe some MOD I'm using that has made those disappear?

    [GS] Those of you using AI+ mod and thinking it's doing something positive may want to check out:

    It's not even loading all of certain files and setting up systems it never accesses. You can fix by deleting the lines I tagged in the individualization.xml file. the mod then loads cleanly and will at least be doing what you may have thought it was doing...

    Oh what the above in fact means is that all the "personality" types of the leaders never access their leader_type system that would allow them to value yields, districts, flavors, etc... so it in fact killed the economic part of the AI to this mod. Science, money, culture, etc... It ALSO killed...

    oh here's the exact lines that are trouble: <Row LeaderType="LEADER_PEDRO" TraitType="TRAIT_LEADER_CULTURAL_MAJOR_CIV"/> <Row LeaderType="LEADER_KUPE" TraitType="TRAIT_LEADER_CULTURAL_MAJOR_CIV"/> <Row LeaderType="LEADER_KRISTINA" TraitType="TRAIT_LEADER_CULTURAL_MAJOR_CIV"/> <Row...

    this mod has an error which will cause it not to load completely, half of individualization file in fact doens't load because it gets killed at: [Gameplay] ERROR: UNIQUE constraint failed: LeaderTraits.LeaderType, LeaderTraits.TraitType [4066535.039] [Gameplay]: While executing - 'insert into...

    [GS] WHy is this geothermal plant not powering the city?

    Oh, the city is using the power, it's just not enough power for the entire city draw to be fulfilled. Yet again, buried UI information in this game makes for murky understanding. Erg, sometimes this game is so frustrating in its murk.

    Funny "grateful" City-State...

    Yeah it's a lot of fun... and relatively cheap. Especially good if you are Hungary. I swear what I can do with 3 troops versus what they would do with them in defense, is nothing short of miraculous! LOL. But activating a levy halfway across the world is sometimes very surprising to the AI who...

    Why Can't A Dam Go On This Flood Plain?

    [GS] If my market says +3 gold, why am I getting +5 form it?

    <update> -ignore, i am an idiot- </update> I have no policy in place that should impact this. And I can't find a wonder that does this... arg, the bonuses in this game are hard to keep track of. Anyway it says if I build a bank I'll get +8 when +6 is the bonus I was expecting. The civopedia...
