[NFP] Babylon Pack (November 2020) - Patch Notes Discussion

[Venceslau Pietro Pietra]

Dandara is a big, and welcome surprise! I guess the warrior monk bonus is to represent capoeiristas.nice!

 

[Noble Zarkon]

I got a barracks from an encampment. Perhaps you can't get stable? Is it random? Is it becuase I started in the modern era?

A barracks is cheaper than a stable ...

Hammurabi’s “Ninu Ilu Sirum” ability constructs the lowest Production cost building in each specialty district for free the first time that district is built.

 

[SammyKhalifa]

Yeah they said it just makes barracks.

 

[leandrombraz]

This is a nice mechanic. I'd like to see it applied to some of the existing great people who grant specific Eurekas.

I was hoping to see this change to existing GP in the patch. I mean, it's a no-brainer to do that.

 

[iammaxhailme]

Well, I was hoping to rush bombards or something using the eureka bonus, so I guess I won't get the stable boost to siege units with Babylon. Very minor, so no big deal.

 

[leandrombraz]

I got an envoy and no building for a neighborhood and dam (although I started in the modern era so I hadn't discovered hydroelectric dams yet...

Neighborhood and dam aren't specialty districts, you aren't supposed to get free buildings.

 

[Alexadamz]

Happy to see Dandara as a new Great General.

Yeah! Good timing also, as tomorrow is the Dia da Consciência Negra (somewhat like Black Pride Month in some other countries) in many brazilian cities, marking the death of Zumbi, Dandara's husband.

 

[iammaxhailme]

Neighborhood and dam aren't specialty districts, you aren't supposed to get free buildings.

Yeah, the result is what I expected, I was just testing to make sure the text of the ability was correct. I wouldn't have been surprised if the actual code was something like "if district has buildings do grant_free_building, else grant_envoy"

 

[hhhhhh]

I was so surprised to see the word "capoeristas" I had to double confirm what I saw . Wonder why they didn't choose to use Zumbi. And a warrior monk with 1 promotion in Industrial Era, really? That's not very useful.

Also the appearance of Trưng Trắc as a Great General probably means when Vietnam appear in next pack, the Trưng sisters won't be its leader (as some people here speculated).

 

[Victoria]

Just got Machinery on T33 , this is just crazy

 

[ButtBillionaire]

For purely egotistical reasons I had hoped for at least one Norwegian great person to make it in (with Henrik Ibsen, Edvard Grieg, Edvard Munch and Fridtjof Nansen probably being the most prominent candidates), but alas, not this time.

 

[kryat]

Anansi is going to be perfect for those times when there’s a bunch of pigs right where you want a campus.

 

[SammyKhalifa]

BTW I just saw a meteorite crash in my standard game

 

[Goodenuf]

Yeah they said it just makes barracks.

Shame if you are flush with horses but have no iron access. My first encampment I may actually want a Stable, but now I need to build a 2nd encampment someplace to leverage that bonus.

 

[kaspergm]

Oh good, they nerfed Ley Lines.

 

[Francel]

Curious about the one who modifies amenity benefits. If I understand, it means all yields increase 14% in ecstatic cities? Wouldn’t do anything to other levels of happiness?

 

[Shadowstrike]

The inclusion of Ayutthaya as a city-state suggests we won't be getting a Thailand civilization.

 

[shaglio]

Fixed an issue where making a new alliance would remove all foreign spies, as opposed to just the spies from the new ally. A new notification for this event has been added.

For all the freaking out that was done regarding this issue, I'm surprised nobody has brought it up yet.

 

[Guandao]

Looks like we got Venice back, in a way, with Stamford Raffles's ability to buy/annex a city-state.

Use Raffles to buy Singapore..... Any special achievement for that?

 

[hhhhhh]

Use Raffles to buy Singapore..... Any special achievement for that?

If that's an achievement better restrict that to England.
