Caveman 2 Cosmos (ideas/discussions thread)

Let's be honest, Civ's owners are idiots.
If they actually produced a C2C-based game with MODERN capabilities, just imagine how many DLCs it could have.
HUDNREDS, dammit!
Tons upon tons of various Civs, endless animals, surprising aliens and mythological beings, countless heroes of the past-present-future, all sorts of equipment, plot properties, YOU NAME IT.
That's HUNDREDS of moneys to cash-grab and store-load PER PLAYER!!!
They're idiots, I tell ya!
 
Eh, I wouldn't say that. There aren't that many players who would want to play a game with the length and complexity of C2C, let alone spend hundreds of moneys on DLCs for it. I mean that's basically Paradox's business model and they make it work, but I think it's fair to say their grand strategy games aren't as successful as Civ. And C2C is even bigger than a paradox game.

Do the owners of CIVILIZATION ever READ the civfanatics Forums or Download a MOD or maybe a half dozen Mods???? They could learn quite a bit from the customers of their Franchise!!! And I'm not saying anything bad about Sid Meier in particular because HE is a GENIUS!!!

Funny, because CK3 is both extremely heavily modded (with literal Paradox support), extremely DLC'd, rather expensive, and still quite popular - all at once.
I can totally see how C2C would fill a similar niche for Civ-games, if it was adjusted for modern specifications.
So, no, I still think it's a literal missed opportunity.
 
Guys... shhhh... the mod team here realizes all this and would prefer to beat competitors to the punch ;)
lol... all jokes aside, the encouragement is real.

More than you think. Some things must be done in the quiet shadows before they can be brought to light.

Latest Saved Game!!! Just so you all know what my preferences are how many mistakes I make and how much I need to learn!!! Could there be a CIV/C2C school for High School seniors and College Students?? I am almost 59 and wish I was 17 again!!! GO C2C!!!

I'll probably create some guides and mini-courses to help teach stuff at some point. It's pretty much what I'm doing professionally at this point.
 
Latest Save!!! My Economy is about to IMPLODE, also I have never been able to figure out how to make a Build Que which would save me a Great Deal of time!!! In this Game on Earth, it's just Me and Brazil and Brazil is my Vassal so I have not been able to sever our Relationship and conquer all of their cities except for Rio de Janeiro that I would like to keep on Earth so we can trade with Each other. Anyway, definitely lots of things I could be doing better here in this game because although I have settled the Moon and Mars and Venus I would really like to explore and settle the Entire universe and complete the Tech Tree and Build all of the Wonder while deleting excess units to save Money, but I am having a Great Time and I will most likely start a New Game when Version 44 comes out on the SVN and be very careful not to have vassals and focus more on a Sustainable Economy, Good Morning and Cheers!! Let's do ALL we can to play C2C as much as possible and maybe the Owners of CIVILIZATION 7 will Postpone the Release of Civ 7 until April 1, 2025 APRIL FOOLS DAY LOL, just my two cents.....My Economy is Recovering Now, but I still would love to run at 100% Science on the slider....Any suggestions???

I had a peace vassal merge with me, and they gave me nearly an entire era of tech advancement. Is that working as intended? I wouldn't have designed it that way. I would have preferred to progress at snail's pace through frigates, arquebuses etc., not skip them altogether.

What are you exactly complaining about? Getting too much tech from being way behind the vassal? In fact, why did you GET tech this way? I'm surprised it works this way to begin with. But I don't think I've ever been join-merged by someone who was AHEAD of me (at all) in the first place, so I don't have an opinion on whether it's intended altogether.
 
I have decided that having Brazil as a Vassal is not a bad thing and would be open to the idea of trading Brazil techs for Goods and Gold and possibly Coexisting with Brazil in the Solar System, One Day!!! If we had a Caveman2Cosmos gathering of Modders, Testers and Players one Day what City Would we have it in?? Chicago, The Twin Cities, Las Vegas, Copenhagen, or Somewhere Else, and is there any kind of accurate count on the number of players that C2C has now???

Everyone except Greece is way behind me in power, but some of the weaker ones WERE ahead in tech.

I would expect to get a contribution towards some or many techs. Like capturing one or more cities. Not to be instantly catapulted from mid-late Renaissance to early-mid Industrial.
 
On another note, Spain settled these three of its four known cities in the same turn, using exclusively balloons as garrisons.

That's not what I'm asking about.
1. Did you get launched to the same tech level the ex-vassal was at? Then it makes sense (except for the scale). Or were you given ADDITIONAL tech boosts, which would be bonkers?
2. Are you ONLY complaining about the scale of the boost and NOT the actual concept of the boost happening (which was my point of "dunno")? Then it depends on (1).
