[Noble Zarkon]

This thread will be reopened at the time of the livestream, feel free to nudge me or another Mod if I forget

 

[Noble Zarkon]

Less than an hour to go so opening it now, please keep discussion to the livestream - thanks!

 

[Duke William of Normandy]

Can't wait!

 

[Smity2k1]

no meetings, second monitor? yes please.

 

[Eagle Pursuit]

Keep eyes open for new trade city-states that might be replacing Lisbon a la Venice replacing Antioch.

 

[Laurana Kanan]

OP has been updated with links to all four streams.

 

[Laurana Kanan]

Bribe only prevents attacks against cities, not units.

 

[Laurana Kanan]

Reserves civ slots at game start for barb clans to become CSs. CSs are taken from pool of eligible CSs selected at game start. If the pool of CSs equals the number of starting CSs then no barb clans will evolve to CSs.

 

[Noble Zarkon]

A Barbarian Camp cannot become a CS if that would break city placement rules.

 

[Josephias]

You can get as many city states in the map as you have allowed in the picker (even over the map number limit). Expect some "CS" territories if AI's don't do its barb cleaning

 

[Laurana Kanan]

Barb clans can get UUs from any Civ not in the game, even from later eras.

 

[Laurana Kanan]

Ooo, you can set CS number at game start to 0, but have a large eligible pool of CSs, so that all that particular game's CS evolve strictly from Barb Clans.

 

[Noble Zarkon]

Units hired from Barbarian Clans are permanent additions to your army and can move immediately.

 

[Noble Zarkon]

If you raid a Barb Camp for gold your unit will be kicked out and a new barb unit will be spawned.

 

[Laurana Kanan]

Disperse Clan is the trigger for Gilgamesh's ability and Sanguine Pact discovery, not raid.

 

[Nerevatar]

Sounds great so far!

 

[Duke William of Normandy]

City-States that have been razed can be brought back via a Barbarian Outpost civilizing.

 

[Laurana Kanan]

Outside of player interaction, food yield surrounding Clan gives it a small passive increase towards CS conversion per turn.

 

[aieeegrunt]

Reserves civ slots at game start for barb clans to become CSs. CSs are taken from pool of eligible CSs selected at game start. If the pool of CSs equals the number of starting CSs then no barb clans will evolve to CSs.

So if I want 6 barbarian clans that could evolve plus 12 City States I should pick at least 18 city states in the picker?
