I’ve yet to have a full scale ideological world war and I feel like the ideology system is the biggest failure of the modern age. The fact that there is no deterministic path that forces a pick is just wrong. Make political ideology the first culture to get and then have a pop-up which you and...

Best change ever. Can't wait for them to flush it out more and get it even better.

My expectations are through the roof. My biggest concern is my PC. I'm hoping it will be good enough. Some things that I've seen in streams/videos to help with pacing and transitions: 6 units + 4 per Army Commander sounds like plenty of army can transfer. Siege units do not transfer and...

The level of jaded and old men yelling a clouds in this thread is nuts.:lol: The UI is the last thing I care about in a Civ game. I've watched many videos since the embargo lifted and while people aren't allowed to give their "review" the amount of hours played, the excitement in the streamers...

9 to 10 Played civ since Civ I. Have watched these forums for years and it’s like we are stuck in a weird ground hog day time loop. Theres always the collection of long term players absolutely furious about some such thing that someone is doing wrong and has absolutely RUINED the franchise...

9 I can’t wait for a modern age that matters. It is my prediction that by the time this game is complete the consensus will be how did we ever play this game any other way.

I'm pretty sure these animations are done using motion capture tech. With the studio shut down they may not be able to capture new animations for leaders. In any case leader animations are terrible for gameplay flow and I turn them off.

I think with the remaster craze a civ 1 remaster would be a huge hit.

14. Germany - Hansa [4] (3 + 1) Gonna take two to kill it. 15. Greece - Acropolis [37] 24. Korea - Seowon [2] (5 - 3) purely just because anyone who thinks science is the only way to play is very inexperienced with the game and close minded. I think the whole fast science gameplay is bad for...

14. Germany - Hansa [22] - (21 + 1) I love high production mid game. I don't enjoy fast victories and I like building things. 15. Greece - Acropolis [35] 20. Indonesia - Kampung [14] 24. Korea - Seowon [10] (13 - 3) Its better than the pairidaeza, kampung, or suguba but since everyone is...

14. Germany - Hansa [20] (19 + 1) This district is so much not like the Seowon in the fact that it has no malus. It gets + 2 adjacency from commercial hubs, and like the Seowon is half cost. So basically its only half cost like the Seowon. In every other way its better. 15. Greece - Acropolis...

14. Germany - Hansa [26] (25 + 1) As a builder this is the best district in the game. 15. Greece - Acropolis [35] 18. Inca - Terrace Farm [15] 20. Indonesia - Kampung [23] 24. Korea - Seowon [17] (20 - 3) - Boring and nerfed due to all the better ways to get adjacency. 26. Mali - Suguba [26]...

3. Australia - Outback Station [5] - (8 - 3) = 5 So much fake news about this improvement its not even funny... 8. Cree - Mekewap [6] - (5 + 1) = 6 Can't believe outback station might beat out this and Ziggurat. 14. Germany - Hansa [28] 15. Greece - Acropolis [35] 18. Inca - Terrace Farm [22]...

3. Australia - Outback Station [18] (21 - 3) Just time for this to go. Its good but not top 10 good IMO. 8. Cree - Mekewap [7] 11. England - Royal Navy Dockyard [10] 14. Germany - Hansa [26] 15. Greece - Acropolis [37] 18. Inca - Terrace Farm [28] 20. Indonesia - Kampung [29] 24. Korea - Seowon...
