what happened to China, India lol, not featured at all from the previews and this battle royale

 

[agonistes]

That should be awesome!

What is Twitch?

 

[Eagle Pursuit]

This must be part of their surprises. This isn't really my thing. I think I will pass.

 

[Uberfrog]

That should be awesome!

What is Twitch?

It's a live streaming platform for video games. It's what Firaxis have been using for all their official Let's Plays.

 

[rastak]

Sounds like fun!

 

[Magil]

This will be a good test of whether or not the AI ever deigns to upgrade units, at least.

 

[Cyberian]

This is really an amazing thing.

I hope it goes longer than one hour. All the recent streams by Firaxis were all over when it started becoming interesting.

It's also a really bold move on Firaxis' part. Whatever weaknesses the computer players' behavior (I won't call it 'AI') has will be on full display.

Good opportunity to ride the AI only battle wave

 

[Mort_Q]

I guess these are the 8 best custom AIs.

China AI probably builds walls on prime wonder hexes.

 

[Larsenex]

You beat me to this. I asked if the ai had been tweaked or changed since the press release and was hoping I would get an answer.

 

[Olleus]

Looks like they're confident about the AI then. Unless this was scripted, but I doubt they have the effort to put into that.

Whether or not this means that AI is actually good, we'll have to wait and see

 

[skyclad]

Id much rather see a functional MP game between 8 humans! wow! But lets see how this turns out.

They're defensive civs, they probably want to show action in the stream so have put explosive civs.

First Look: Aztecs is now up too.

It's not scripted, the sceptic civfanatics are a really small part of the market for the game, they don't care for sure

First Look: Aztecs is now up too.

Been up for a couple months
