Arioch's Analyst Thread

AN interesting idea wouyld have some leaders like some social trees, and dislike others. Washington, for example, would dislike some repressive ones, but a more warlike leader, like the SOnghai guy with the big sword wouldn't mind if you were a police stgate. It would be an improvement ov er the simple Isabella "+7 your ruunning our favourite civic".
 
That runs contrary to the idea that the AI is now supposed to act a lot more like a human player. In the sense that they wont diplo modifiers based on something a human player wont care about.

Leave that sort of thing to the city states I say.

I would be amazed if particular leaders didn't have hardcoded tendencies to adopt particular policies, but I'm guessing they generally won't affect diplomacy.
 
Dennis Shirk specifically said that Social Policies won't affect diplomatic relations with other leaders. Though he said they do affect relations with and benefits of city-states, as we have seen.

It's a movie camera crew.

I personally think that, at the very least, having opposite Social Policies active should impact diplomacy with the major civs. So a Pious Civ should get a modest diplomatic penalty from a Rational Civ, & the same with a Civ pursuing Liberty &/or Freedom vs a Civ pursuing Autocracy.

Aussie.
 
New pictures for Tradition, Liberty (now giving more sense in the FreedomXLiberty debate) and Order SP. Autocracy picture was enhanced with either splashes of blood or flower petals, i can't tell.
Booooo, I liked the old picture for Order. The workers standing shoulder to shoulder presenting a united front in the old one properly evoked the communist flavour of the tree for me. But oh well.

Also: Next policy is 4610 turns!!!!!!

I believe that's the newer picture you're talking about. The older one has the schoolchildren.

The way you can tell is that the older version has the Jewish and Christian symbols under Piety.
 
Hooray! :goodjob: It looked for a second there like they had ditched the workers for the school children, glad that it's the reverse.

I liked the schoolchildren, the workers made order look too much like autocracy and gave the impression that it would be military-oriented. However i like the new liberty statue-thing rather than the group of people and am glad they removed the "confetti" from autocracy.
 
Its not a parade, they are marching through the streets of the dead they have just slaughtered, and the remains are splattered all over the screen, stop trying to make the game all ladida and Child friendly, IT WILL BE A GORE FEST GAURENTEED!
 
12agnar0k's ability to be wrong is just not mortal. No human can be as consistently wrong as he is. I must bow to his supernatural wrongness. :bowdown:

I mean that in the most good-natured way possible that someone can thwack someone else across the nose with a rolled-up newpaper.

Of COURSE that's confetti. Even the Nazis did not shower their parading troops with blood.
 
Well whatever it's meant to be, it looks too much like blood, so I'm glad they removed it.

Not so glad about liberty. The Statue of Liberty was a symbol of the freedoms afforded to immigrants from Europe fleeing religious persecution, which is not what classical liberty is about.
 
What exactly Autocracy does?

If you're asking what Autocracy does, .. it says it lowers the maintenance costs of troups by 33% so you pay less money to keep your army going. You could get a 50% larger army for the same amount of maintenance.

Algeroth was not asking the question, he was answering it. At the time of his post, that information was not on the Analyst site.

That seemed obvious, but the way it was formulated made me wonder. Not always clear what people mean in a language that isn't their mother tongue, so I figured better safe than sorry. No offense intended ;)

I think that I'm going to go post this in the "why are you excited about Civ V coming out?" thread.

EDIT: I'm also really excited about BLOODFETTI!, which was sorely lacking from Civ 4.
