The art is good, yes. It's pretty, and flavourful. I like the economics - the production chains could be (or should be) deepened further so you can get a wider berth of trade goods, some of which give you mana (I'm currently struggling hard to get more engineering XP - I would like an...

This is a very good idea. If the choice of Civ is purely cosmetic, make it so that you pick a BIOME at the start of the game, and gain specific traits that should help you advance. Harder biomes should give stronger bonuses, since you start in harsher terrain. The game sort of does this with...

OMG a Boris Gudenof rant, we truly aren't worthy <3 I played another game yesterday and got a lot further this time around. Reached the age of Revolution. The diplomacy is even worse than I thought. Sent an envoy to everyone, made treaties for knowledge and culture and I'm getting... NONE of...

Disclaimer #1: I didn't really see a thread where you can post your own impressions about Millennia so here it goes I guess. If I did miss such a topic, feel free to move this post there. Disclaimer #2: this is going to be a rant, so be warned. Contains whining betwixt the good points...

I agree, but the devs don't appear to think so. If you repeat it often enough, surely it'll happen, right?

The Assyrians and Hittites.

Hard agree. Rerolling my start is my least favourite thing of the game. I think starting locations should be locked. Mali should always spawn their first settler on a desert tile, with at least three more adjacent desert tiles. Inca should always start on a Hill, adjacent to at least one...

I've had a similar idea and I agree it fits America like a glove. The issue with abilities like these is that migration isn't unique to America per se. The goal you'd want to work towards is for migration to be a core game mechanic, and for America to be better at it than the other civs...

You can, if you go by Age of Empire 4's system of "variant civilizations" :3 Imagine it as a reskin of an existing Civ, with its own bonuses and flavour. Maybe not an ideal fit for Civ 6 but for Civ 7? Why the heck not? :-)

Sundiata's hints very heavily that his ability or agenda is called Lion of Mali, which sounds warlike to me. Ludwig's LUA or agenda will likewise be Swan King and obviously culture-oriented. Yongle is scientific, which leaves Wu Zetian for a loyalty bonus of sorts. Wu Zetian was notorious for...

Wow so all of it *was* real? Exciting stuff, will definitely play Japan and new Suleiman :-) Abilities are a lot better than those slapped onto the first four leaders, keep it up!

Trying Nzinga on Emperor. This game is going insanely well considering its T179 and i didn't build a single campus until T150 :lol:. The leader bonus is mostly pointless - it negates the -10% from low amenities and that's it. But the possibility to build Holy Sites AND abuse Work Ethic as...

Four turns into the war: He really did not see that coming <3 Of the units in the screenshot all the melee units were freebies given to me by IZs :lol: AND i managed to snag Terracotta as well, so those +5 melee units all have a free promotion on top of that. Fair And Balanced.

HOLY- no, this can't be an exploit, it must be how the civ is supposed be played, lily_lancer wouldn't lie to me. I have played some Lincoln myself and yeah, I hit Medieval Era and am churning out IZs for some EZ (heh) Men-at-Arms. Johnny Curtains spawned next to me. He won't KNOW what hit him...x

These soldiers are emancipated. They're perfectly capable of supporting themselves. :p (I'm not sure if that was the intention, but that is a way to emancipate, I guess :lol:)
