BE report from Firaxicon

[Breezin]

Assuming they don't make you post a non-disclosure agreement, I was wondering what things people would like people to report on with regards to their experience with BE.

Or, what things people will be looking forward to trying out.


I'm am hoping to attend but if I can't make it, I'd like someone to let us know what the diplomacy is like. One of the few faults with Civ V is the sometimes lackluster diplomacy interactions.

Oh, can we make this a general question thread ?
I would like to know what specialists do. Without GP points they better have stronger yields or other bonuses. And I'd like confirmation on my suspicion that all or most buildings offer an additional bonus choice after first construction.

When is it exactly?

September 27-28

Give me unit bonuses, or give me a bazillion dollars (I really don't care which)!

 

[KrikkitTwo]

[given]Every/any Unit, tech, building, wonder, ability stats (as well as any virtues that changed)

What are Numbers for bonuses/penalties for (un)health?

Confirm that the only promotions are +Veterancy or +50 hp Health?

What are the yields from a trade route..(specifically what determines those yields)?

How long is a trading cycle? (does it depend on how far away the station is, how many turns it takes to get there?)

What limits are there on trade routes..eg
can unlimited multiple internal routes go to the same city?
is there a limit on total trade units?
to trade units contribute to maintenance?
is there any limit on number of trade routes to foreign cities?
do foreign trade routes require/benefit from Open borders?
do trade routes have a range limit (is it based on # hexes or unit travel time?)

From what I've heard, there will be demo stations for ppl to try be at Firaxicon, and you won't need to sign an NDA.

That's good to hear. I wonder if it will be the full game that they've been showing on Twitch (as full as it can be 1 month from prior to release) or a neutered demo version?

I suspect it will be the same version Pete's been playing since I haven't heard anything about a demo and can't imagine they'd make one just for this.

Please dear god tell me the diplomacy is better and more interesting / character than in Civ 5 and that all the diplo screens we've seen so far are just alpha placeholders
