    (Rising Tide) Machinima AND Firaxis Sept 10 Livestreams

    What? Daoming actually GETS a free wonder per city?? It takes one turn for a new city to construct a wonder... Actually, I'm speechless... Poor Elodie :rolleyes:

    Revealing invisible units works by moving to a tile next to the unit.

    I would say so, and I hope they fix that. So you can only see those eyes when you see the enemy unit... I've also noticed in the beginning, that although you don't know who lands after you or at least in which order the civs land, you'll get their communiques/get notified about new potential...

    I guess it means, that if you move to those tiles with the eyes, you're going to be spotted?

    So PAC doesn't get a free wonder per city but a discount (ie. 50%) in all cities... Interesting :)

    I think, that the UI for the potential agreements with other civs looks really messy... Imagine playing with 11 civs, so you can browse through 55 agreements. Now try choosing one... Urgh.

    Since I don't have a twitter account, could someone ask if the old affinity units will get special abilities like the new hybrid ones?

    (Rising Tides) Hybrid-Affinities

    Gameplaywise, you are totally right. This could be indeed the way, they are designed. I know this not a roleplaying game, but when I want to play as a pure affinity, I have nothing with those special abilities (besides the Rocktopus). That's what is bugging me :( I get the impression that...

    (Rising Tides) Hybrid-Affinities

    @Galgus: iCub is a robot which is designed with the method of neuro robotics. It has a so called "ecological ego", that is, it is aware of it/her/himself being not part of the surrounding. Instead of having its physiology programmed (so where his arms are and his legs, etc), iCub is programmed...

    (Rising Tides) Hybrid-Affinities

    The thing is, we are currently using AI and robots to an extent, where we don't know what they are doing. Take for example insurance companies: Some are using algorithms which decide how much you will have to pay. Those Algorithms are so complex, that nobody can actually tell why it chooses...

    (Rising Tides) Hybrid-Affinities

    I don't think the problem is the time, when these units become available. It is just that the pure affinity units have nothing special to offer right now. Geliopod is invisible. Golem can block ranged attacks. Aquilon can transport units. Architect can buff/debuff units. All the "cool" things...

    (Rising Tides) Hybrid-Affinities

    I have to agree here, it feels like Supremacy/Harmony is the only real hybrid, while the others feel just like Purity+. Such a shame. On a different note: Aircraft has no hybrid upgrades. I guess, they couldn't come up with interesting upgrades/promotions? I would even say, that subs and...

    [Rising Tide] New Faction - Lena Ebner's INTEGR

    Sorry to interrupt your discussion, but do we have audio from Lena Ebner? As a German, I would really be interested in which language she will be talking. :) The Rhine-basin has many different dialects and forms of the German language: Switzerlandish, Badish (from the German region of Baden)...

    (Rising Tide)So no Virtues nor TechWeb Overhaul ?

    Judging from the last gameplay video with Pete as INTEGR, there are only minor changes. The tech web seems very full, which is a good thing. At least the midgame techs have much more content which hopefully helps to have more paths during the game instead of the standard path which will be...

    Should biofactory consume petroleum rather than require it locally?

    If you read the Civilopedia, then you can see, that the effects of this building are wrong on many levels. Firstly, it has nothing to do with oil. Secondly, it has nothing to do with chitin. The icon for the biofactory shows CORALS in the background. The text states, that it uses fungus, algea...

    I want to give a specific number of affility points

    Well drats ;) I already thought so, but you never know... Thanks alot for the answer!

    I want to give a specific number of affility points

    Is it possible to add more definitions into BuildingChoiceStruct? (Sorry if this not the correct name for this, I am no programmer) I wanted to achieve the same thing by adding two definitions into it: AffinityType and Points. After writing the necessary code, I get a Syntax error, which tells...

    Increase grower specialist yield

    I actually never liked playing tall and prefer a wide gameplay. Stop assuming things like this. It was just an idea, which would allow both. Well, specialists would be interesting, for a start. They would be situational enough to make them a choice. A low science city wouldn't need scientist...

    Sponsor-specific quests?

    This is an excellent idea! I guess I know what I will start modding now during the holidays ;)

    Increase grower specialist yield

    Actually, I think that specialists should be even more diversified than just giving plain "boring" yields. Instead they should have effects which benefits tall cities (hence justifying tall gameplay). Assuming we have 5 specialist slots for each type: Grower: +5% Food kept after city growth; +2...
