Maybe the easiest way to put it.. I can win the game without pushing settlement cap, but if I push settlement cap I dominate the game.

His last video was “Update 1.2.0 for Civ 7 is yet another BANGER patch” but I don’t think that speaks to anything but what the algorithm expects of content creators. It’s not a personal failing on his behalf. He’s a good guy even if I was never a fan, and I wish him nothing but the best.

IMHO someone who had their ideas stolen did not, in fact, “get results.” But yeah, that’s neither here nor there for the topic and wasn’t my main point.

I am realising it feels sort of dirty to me to speculate on a real person’s mental health and who they see as their own community in service of winning points in some subjective argument about a game, so I think I’m going to pass entirely on this sub-topic. I’ll just wish him the best in case he...

I just rewatched starting at 11min, and it seems he is almost certainly talking about his own fans there and his (self-described) parasocial relationship with them that takes place in his video comments? I didn’t see anything about “the community” in a sense that would include anything like CFC...

Exactly, everyone can have an opinion. Where the rubber meets the road is things like sales, player numbers. You can always find any person with any opinion if you want, but if you’re making a product for people to buy and use, what matters is if people buy and use it. You can make every “bad...

Oh I am sure a elf wasn’t implying that the civ fans and reaction and his fan community (much less the broader civ community) was somehow the cause of his mental health issues, that would be terrible. Just explaining why they were missing these days. Edit: ah ok sorry I misunderstood

Yeah I watched that too, I feel bad for the guy. He said the toxicity of his fans has been getting to him for over a year now and it’s been really tough. Wishing him all the best and hope he can change up his fans somehow. I wish Marbozir would go back to making old civ game content, I know he...

Back at launch the AI would declare war, send a few units, and then panic and beg you for peace through giving up cities. That behaviour seems to be back, and I also especially noticed it on Pangea.

If you feel that’s the best use of your time, who am I to stop you. But I thought this thread had nice empathy and understanding for the most part, and some nice ideas on how to make it better.

It was real for me too but that’s why I started a new game instead of solemnly going down with the ship. I never wished for something that would force me to do it, much less to do it three times per game. I rarely finished a game but never cared either. I’m not quite following though how your...

The Sword of Brennus is for giving them back, so you have to set up a beautiful dance. :) Tubman probably to make the AIs more likely to peace out due to the higher war support, though maybe you'll have so much influence you can do it with anyone. Using the gold to buy an army might make sense...

Maybe with https://civilization.fandom.com/wiki/Sword_of_Brennus_(Civ7) you can keep giving the same cities back and forth and get a bunch of gold too.

Quick, we need a sub-sub-forum to file away complaints about how people are complaining about complaints!

I like playing as her, I can't figure out yet if I do better in a science game as her or Ben.
