Oo, new icons in the tech/civic trees. Seems like houses are settlement limits raises, hexagons are improvement yield increases, people are combat strength increases and the scroll is a policy slots increase. Will def make navigating what comes with each tech/civic easier.
Edit: Jumped here as soon as I saw this, tech tree later on in the video has way more

 

[Daigotsu Max]

Love the new resources! Can't wait to see the bonuses. Also hope some are tundra ones, more diversity is needed there

 

[Eagle Pursuit]

Some nice QoL updates there.

 

[Goodenuf]

Almost every one of what he mentioned I was like "finally"

It's good to see bridges in tows coming, I hope other improvements to how settlements connect to each other come as well.

Looks great, can't wait to play. Hopefully this will make the game feel a bit more "ready" to play.

The research queuing, fix all button, wonder visibility and notification of what what you built last make this update almost as exciting as getting new civs or leaders.

Almost - please add 72 new civs and leaders

Love everything about this update, especially the resource changes and those helpful icons in the tech and civic trees. I’m a sucker for that kinda thing. Can’t wait to dive in as soon as I can.

 

[Leucarum]

Looks really solid. Can't wait for the teams mkde.

Also I wish I could talk with my hands that well!

 

[Zaarin]

Love seeing Tin and Hardwood finally getting their due as resources.

So, for this update Ed pulls this card out of his sleeve:

Everything I wanted a couple of months ago when I paid the price, apart from plenty much more than that.

 

[Siptah]

Really curious how the growth formula change will turn out. They‘ve mentioned it twice now that it will make the AI play much better. Looking forward to seeing this - and whether it impacts my playing as well.

 

[marius_kaparius]

The best thing here for me is seeing the last building built.

It's weird they got the actor who did the motion capture for the leaders to host this video.

Console or just don't use mods?

I feel like I'll miss having so much whales and furs. Furs are awesome in explo.

No mods. Waiting for Steam Workshop

No mods. Waiting for Steam Workshop

I originally thought I would too, but I would have quit playing without them and it could be months or even a year before they get the workshop up. They're dead simple to use, and even easier now that some incredible person made the CivMods application. They all come through CivFanatics.

Yay to all this! Especially the llama resource icon.

• More wonder visibility

What does this mean do we think?
