[Vanilla] Base Game Patch Notes (February 2018)

[Eagle Pursuit]

I can't believe how much they addressed!

Is it known if this patch will automatically update to the current game, or only available with R&F?

It says in the notes that these notes only cover changes to the base game. There will obviously be further changes for R&F.

 

[Disgustipated]

patch is still only at 69%^, so can't test it yet... It seems to be a good size.

These are the base game patch notes. I'm sure there will be many other balance changes that come out with the Rise and Fall patch notes.

Sooooo, I decided to start a quick game... it seems they also worked on optimization (at least in the DX12 version) because turn times are waaay down for me (albeit early game impression)

Duuk you are not kidding. Turn times are much faster!

 

[anandus]

Only DX12?

 

[rastak]

What’s the new version number?

 

[Duuk]

Only DX12?

Well, I'm using the DX12 version, so I can't testify to the DX11 version. I don't want the lynch mob coming after me.

There are some undocumented changes, so far I noticed:
- the leader screen (talking with some AI leader) shows his name and nationality in the left upper corner
- the button that closes the dialog (still talking about the leader screen) shows MUCH faster - hurray!
- I'm quite sure they swapped the yes and no buttons on the confirm game load dialog

Sweet. I think my download was starting as I shut her down an hour ago. Time to fire it up and see what's waiting...

• Government Policies that increase production on Melee class units now include Anti-Cavalry class units.
• Reduce Science per population from 0.7 down to 0.5.
• Great Admirals and Great Generals have a combat bonus and a movement bonus, they no longer stack

Sounds good.

In my games the AI builds a lot of air units and they also use them properly
Was improved in the last 2-3 patches already

My games end too soon for the AI to even have a chance to use Air units, so I don't even know if the AI can use it eventually. I hope the changes to tech/civic progress will at least make the game last enough for me to see that.

Well, so much for the so-called MP stability. I tried to join 6 games... 5 crashed Civ upon trying to join, the other one crashed on Turn 2.

great

Happy they decreased science per turn. It will make the games last a bit longer. The end game is the best part after all.

Which mods are you running?

 

[Mr Jon of Cheam]

Great set of notes, pleased with how much they have addressed. I'm surprised they didn't make any changes to chopping/overflow though!

 

[beorn]

One of the advertised R+F features is in the patch. Australia has been turned green.

 

[anandus]

Which mods are you running?

I'm guessing none(?). To run mods after a patch is asking for issues.

 

[Tech Osen]

Anyone try the Alert function?

 

[AmtrakQuebec]

Which mods are you running?

None.

BTW, I don't know if this was noted elsewhere, but you now get Production if someone beats you to a Wonder.

 

[Hakan-i Cihan]

Which version number has the game including this patch? I have now 1.0.0.216 running, does that include the patch?
