[GS] GS impressions/random observations thread.

Random thoughts? Post them here.

Mine: I notice all the GS civs are on top, instead of alphabetical. Did R&F do that? I don't think so...

Did R&F do that? I don't think so...

Definitely not.

They are currently listed like this:

1. GS>RnF>Vanilla
2. Alphabetical order of leader names within each group.

Another impression: I think some of the left/rights have changed? Like "are you sure you want to restart" used to be yes/no, but now it's no/yes (or vice versa)

I'm curious what Sweden's start bias is. I literally have grassland, plain, and desert right in my capital and tundra and snow just a little ways to the south.

If anyone finds out what exactly was changed about Indonesia and Zulu, let us know The very first GS stream implied that they were tweaked, but the civ overview screen remains the same.

Nubia' Pyramids didn't get a buff as different terrain floodplains have their own associated tiles.

So Nubian Pyramids can only be built on desert floodplains.

Random observation: Legion cost 20 iron, Hetairoi 10 horses.

Barbarian Scouts are more aggressive. They keep hitting my own Scouts.

Mentioned in the other thread:

Russian Lavras were most likely NOT nerfed. Civilopedia states the bonus GWAM points, while the civ pick screen doesn’t (this was the case in RnF as well).

Something must have gone wrong for me. No GS leaders in the list. But it said i had the GS exp. on.

Rule set during the game creation screen?

Mali has tremendous swings in Turn 1 strength depending on where you start, due to the desert bonuses. This start is pretty incredible, for example (better with more hills):

But my first attempts to play weren't great at all. Often just one or two desert tiles.

Any idea how I buy tiles for my city?? I'm probably being stupid but can't see how!

 

[_ViKinG_]

Maybe because i use the legacy start up that something is wrong in game

 

[iammaxhailme]

My first game, as Canada, the first person I meet as Persia who gets mad at me for not declaring a surprise war, which Canada can't do. Doh

Same as before. Click on the city and then click on the tile thing on the bottom right, above the "amount of production" icon
