Something odd I just noticed. Normally when you hover over a resource that another civ is willing to export in the (BUG?) Foreign Advisor, it reports how many of that resource the civ has. However if a trade discussion window is open in the background with any civ, it instead says how much my...

I've tried to highlight two cities from Pericles that I razed. Sitting Bull's capital only has one coastal tile in its radius so it's not that bad. I just was sad to not being able to get any coastal trade routes later in the game when it became my largest pop city.

2 from Pericles and 2 from Sitting Bull (Protective), though one of Sitting Bull's was the capital so doesn't really count. I think the windmill thing this game was more noticeable because of the lack of food. I was near the Tundra area with few rivers (so a lot of spots I couldn't farm) and...

Will do. I just noticed last night the addition of 6 first strikes to subs, the swapping of the two subs in the tech tree and rename etc. Very interesting. My current game has been very land based (and prob heading for space victory) so haven't really got to try them out though. I feel like...

Ok, thanks for that.

Hi f1rpo! I've been having a blast with your mod. I'm liking almost all the changes I see. Much appreciated that you're further continuing the progress I previously enjoyed from karadoc's mod, and to a small extent my own PIG Mod. Your mod has reinvigorated my interest in the game after a...

I've taken a pretty long break from Civ games but have recently come back to playing a bit of Civ 4. I actually haven't bought Civ6 yet because I have played Civ5 quite extensively and was mostly unimpressed with it compared to Civ4, mainly down to 1UPT and its consequences for the game, and it...

Did anyone else keep their pledge? :cool: I've been browsing some first impressions from different people. I just found Sulla's pre-release thoughts too. Not in a rush to grab it at this stage but looks like it might do better than Civ5.

I'd argue paying at a price-gouged rate directly supports the practice of price-gouging, and unfortunately too many people where I live must do just that. In many cases the first time a game gets an equal price across regions is when it hits a bundle. If 2K are unwilling to provide any...

I pledge not to buy the game until after it is released. I pre-ordered Civ4 and later the Bts exapnsion, and then Civ5. Civ5 was a letdown for many reasons including 1UPT and its consequences (including AI capacity), poor UI and poor performance. At the time it appeared to be too much a...

So Herbert (AEC) and Flynn (AEC) are the ones to watch. If either or both of those go to Coalition, I agree we're looking at 76 or 77.

For Flynn, a lead of 2058 when 71.2% was counted, according to Bonham. Down to 1824 with 76.1% counted. Simple linear fit would put an extra 1141 votes reduction in the margin after the remaining 23.9% of the vote count. So you're right, it looks like it will be close indeed. I still think Labor...

I think I'll throw my hat in the ring in terms of predictions... Here's the current ABC predictions: LNP 70 ALP 67 OTH 5 (including GRN) In doubt 8 Capricornia (ALP) Herbert (ALP) Gilmore (LNP) Forde (LNP close) Chisholm (LNP) Hindmarsh (LNP close) Dunkley (LNP) Cowan (ALP) I write...

As far as I know the two-party preferred estimate from AEC is fairly simplistic and doesn't cope well when the race is between three candidates. The key issue is whether Labor and Greens will swap between 2nd and 3rd place as the preferences from other eliminated candidates come through. In...

According to skynews he was initially handing out cards from the party that preferenced Libs over the Greens but after some attention was drawn to it he began only handing out cards that preferenced the Greens, perhaps going against the party directive. It got muddied when people were bringing...
