Anyone else more hyped for 4UC VP than civ 7 😅?

[scarts]

I Can not wait until we finally get 4UC VP! Don't get me wrong civ 7 looks good, but honestly the fact it's releasing on consoles simultaneously as PC solidifies that it will be a more casual experience and I can guarantee it will have poor AI for that reason alone.

I just hope the AI of 4UC will be up to snuff with all new building and units. I know there is talk of a MAJOR AI rework in VP, but I Don't know if that will come to fruition.

I keep checking daily to see if 4UC is released yet or if any new news comes out.

Absolutely.

They want a game that influencers can stream in a few hours, that's why the game "ends" at each era.

I want a game that takes months to finish.

Yeah, with all the civ changes, I think it will be really interesting to see how everything plays out.

People are debating the new changes for CIV7, whether they are great or not. What I rarely see in these discussions is concerns for the AI. CIV7 seems to offer a lot of customization options during a playthrough. I honestly can't see the AI being able to manage these in a competent manner. The more complex these games get, the more horsehockey the AI will (probably) be. Thank god for Vox Populi.

Probably everyone here
Personally, I don't have high hopes for Civ 7, yet I'm still kinda curious how it'd turn out and I'd be happy to be wrong.

Personally i did not like civ 6 and i don't think i'd like civ 7.

Obviously can't give a specific date, but could you say if it will be out in a few months, half a year, a year, etc?

I mean, this is the VP forum, I would hope most of us would be more excited for a VP major update than some "side game"

Haha I guess that's true, but still. 4UC (assuming the Ai can handle everything) is going to be HUGE for VP. Even new players hearing about some mod that completely changes the game and adds in FOUR unique units and buildings for EVERY faction. I can definitely see a bunch of new players trying this out. People like flair after all.

Civ 7 looks like a continuation of a steep decline started in Civ 6. VP is the opposite of that. Now I'm off to go teach Mongolians to be Americans so they can be prepared for the next 'age' and switch like good boys.

I cannot thank modders enough for the work they do to my favorite games that make them relevant, playable, and better than most everything new.

 

[caudheur]

Extremely hyped by 4UC as well
This mod is the gift that keeps on giving, I keep being blown away by the gaming experience it delivers.
Regarding Civ 7, idk, I felt "cheated" by Civ 6 so not looking forward to renew the experience

Probably less than 2 months from now?

Hey thanks! I'm pretty sure all the assets are made already, what with the 4UC mod having been in development for almost 7 years. The fact you and the team are taking their time with the release is a GREAT indicator that everything is going to be merged seamlessly with the base VP.

I'm super pumped if you can't tell haha. Thanks for everything you and the team does for us fans.

What's the difference between just playing the old 4uc modmod? Are there some new bells and whistles going in too?

Full DLL integration, so basically the AI should have a full understanding of all the new units and abilities.

I'm under the impression this aspect will be more of a long term thing. But nonetheless, exciting prospect, I agree.

Where 4uc did some lua trickery here and there... Will those things now be baked into VP? And perhaps available in tables for further modding?

I'm pretty sure that's the big AI rework that will come later that has the AI use utils+PV discounting. I believe that 4UC will have the same full DLL integration as the current VP does.

Yes. New tables are being added. No Lua jank.

We'll need to discuss how that rework will actually function in practice, but it is something the devs want to do. At launch, we're looking at basic functionality for the added components, with further improvements coming down the line.
