Just got an email from Amazon... Hello, We have good news! One of your pre-ordered items is now eligible for release date delivery and has been upgraded at no additional charge. Your new delivery estimate is: "Sid Meier's Civilization VI 25th Anniversary Edition - PC" Estimated...

I think that's definitely a big part of it. In Civ5, many of the wonders were a bit weak, and you didn't really care, half the time. I think one way to have the wow factor, and to have a bigger list of wonders, is to make the wonders categories... so the mountain always give the same bonus...

Likely all it means is they haven't made a final decision yet. That's something that's probably pretty easy to change, and they're going back and forth to balance making PAC useful vs OP. Heck, decent chance it'll release one way and change a month later after people start complaining about...

I assume they just picked the one that they thought looked best with the actual ships.

I'd say more like getting a car and being happy that they'll give you coupons for a free oil change for signing up for the newsletter.

That reminds me of a question we never really got the answer to, since nobody could get to a high enough harmony level in 250 turns. Anyone know if the covert ops worms are immune to ultrasonic fences? It would seem a bit weak if the harmony super-op was defeatable by a building that you'll...

Anything before midnight is a plus. Of course, I was lazy and just pre-ordered on Steam. Already done pre-loading. I of course clicked the button a few times just to see if maybe they messed up and it opened the game.

I never looked that closely for it, but I'd assume it works like in Civ5, where you get it back.

Not too different from Civ5, then.

I believe it's off by default this time around.

So, as I've said in other spots, I want to try a ARC fast spy as my first game. The question I pose, is once the intrigue is high enough, should I switch from steal science missions to steal technology missions? On one hand, we have steal science, which is going to forward my agenda for...

But if they didn't make the benefits for both sides, then the fact that they took out circular trade would make it that you wouldn't bother running an internal trade route except to get a new city up and running.

I don't know about that... you either have to research Pioneering or take the lab at start, build a depot, and clear the path of miasma/aliens. You might get lucky and get an easy path outpost, but I've also seen a lot of plays where you weren't getting to that station without investing in...

Hmm... so it sounds like the main issue is that this surveillance web is too potent... What if we make it a national wonder? You as a faction can only build one of them. It does what it currently does, and maybe gives a passive bonus to the counter-intelligence everywhere else, like a few...

That's a shame... I thought that was kind of cool, getting the units.
