That sounds exactly like what they're balancing for. As for "good AI" vs "fun AI", please have a look at the Civ4 lead (and AI) designer's talk:...
That's what I intend to do. I will also give the AI performance (which I expect I will find to be generally competent, with some flaws) a...
I think Kongo is my favorite so far.
It's why us reasonable users should also post a review.
I can already say I'll like this as much as Baba Yetu, but the sound mixing/quality in the video is horrible. I bet it'll sound 10x better in game.
But how would the game determine which continent is Africa? Does the placement of civs play a role?
That rule doesn't make sense for me.
So Canadians are fine with being represented by either "America" or "England"? :)
Why? Expectations from previous Civ games? (The real-world equivalence of the "production" yield is shaky anyway - what exactly does it...
Leading to more cries of "wheat is imbalanced, needs to be nerfed" :)
If you went by real-life dependencies, you'd get a much more linear tech/civic tree anyway, at least starting in the renaissance era, when...
Seeing how slow unit movement is even into the later eras, railways could be a big deal for an expansion (ala Civ4 corporations). They're...
Isn't there some good background info on the civs in the Civilopedia? I also saw a "Biography" button for great people, which incidentally no...
I noticed only the differing mountains, but I never realized it was tied to continents. (Which doesn't make too much sense anyway, how a mountain...
That's a good solution. For singleplayer, please don't try to balance everything to the point of every game feeling the same. Ah, I have a river,...
That's a good point. (BTW, I like how upkeep is now tied to the unit's era, not the player's era.) Although the Prince AI never did seem to...
Yes, I'd rather let him have 4 movement and have to be present at the site. With the current system the natural park could just as well be a...
And yet they often do. After all, they're only human. Even George Lucas took that stuff personally, apparently ;) And that gives people the...
That (and other posts in this thread) sounds like it should be possible in every game to be friends with every AI, never having to go to war or...
I really, really hated having to justify going beyond Tradition+4cities (to my inner minmaxer). With the large late-game bonuses from "6-tile...
