Any focus on interesting AI is and has been very rare in games. This claim is repeated often for this genre with little to back it up from my view and is honestly frustrating. That a game can sell regardless of the AI is a different matter.

I don't think this degradation is purely due to such incompetence. Take2(Firaxis) isn't alone in this behavior. The game industry isn't either when it comes to such objectively poor decisions that go directly against what attracted crowds in the first place. No, I think it's pretty obvious by...

Just gonna chip in here because I still don't feel right over that; they probably never said that. Looked it up once and only found an article stating that claim being in the advertisements of older Civs in comparison to VI.

Years ago, I read an article on Take2 taking an aggressive stance against GTAV modding, The impression I got was that Take2 simply does not want uncontrolled 3rd parties influencing their consumer base. 2K is owned by Take2. Firaxis is owned by 2K. As far as I'm concerned, Firaxis is Take2. This...

Crap takes. I see no need to accept the poor state of the market as if it's truly uninfluenced by the industry. I was still a kid when Oblivion captured my interest with its relatively living world and it certainly wasn't the first attempt at such or even what it should've been. There's so much...

It's also quoted in the post I linked. Civ6 released back in 2016 with the statement on the dll around the time being "we've done it before"(corporate speak for 'maybe'). The article came out this year. That's practically a no. Certainly has been far too long anyway. Edit: Forgot that tidbit...

I feel like I've seen this before... On the off chance you're serious (or rather as further reminder for everyone else), respectfully requesting fixes (really could be any technical topic) means reporting to github. Willfully ignoring this will simply derail threads at most and get ignored at...

To top things off https://forums.civfanatics.com/threads/no-plan-to-release-the-dll-source-code-goodbye-everyone-and-thanks-firaxis-for-everything-else.657873/ Years after release, an official 'no' on the dll, so little to no hope on mods salvaging it this time.

https://github.com/LoneGazebo/Community-Patch-DLL/issues Make an account and click the green "New issue" button. That it failed to be fixed before does not mean you shouldn't bring it up again... in the appropriate channel. To keep things productive.

Same rule here. Attack the argument, not the poster. If certain users are overtly racist to the point it's a problem, report and see if moderation deals with it. It'd be rather apparent if such behavior was a real problem, no? That said, a shadowban is certainly not something I'm a fan of...

Of the admins, @leif erikson is the most active AFAIK, so probably best to contact him at least as a starter point. Maybe when he's online. But then it might be useful to have ilteroi stuck in Github as a prime reminder that bug reports go there.

I don't think any of that is confirmed beyond G mentioning some issues he had with the workshop CP getting reported. I think it was something to do with whatever that MP balance mod was?

Ah right I should probably mention the CP's event system. It's part of the modding API aspect I suppose and I assume it would be useful to you from Civ4.

I might've mixed it up with the siege setup thing.

CBO requires CP. I'd hardly call it barebones as it's literally the Balance Overhaul. I don't think the boats use a promo as @Gazebo 's direct response to JFD on the matter was along the lines of it being a necessary change for the AI that wasn't going away. Artificial Unintelligence compared...
