Civ6 June Update Video

[RohirrimElf]

I’ll think reading trough the patch notes will be more time efficient knowing what the next update will bring.
Dont know if save scumming will be fixed for extra diplo points.

Work Ethic provides +1 Production per Holy Site Adjacency.

This one is huge.

 

[Icicle]

Like the crew in the video. Not terribly whelmed by these updates.

 

[TheMarshmallowBear]

That video was... wild.

Also, Work Ethic provides +1 Production per Holy Site Adjacency. Japan intensifies...

Love the tweaks to Red Death. I mean, why not? Hilarious. And Sean Bean! Hilarious.

Can we have Zombies and Aliens in our Apocalypse Mode now? Zombie Barbarians?

May well be other balance changes. Guess we’ll see. Huzzah.

For those asking - there's nothing stopping someone from porting the Red Death assets into the main game, as Red Death is free for everyone to begin with I don't see any issues with it from a technical stand point of view.

 

[RohirrimElf]

I’ll guess if you want to exploit the extra diplomatic point from pagoda you might as well just go for a religious victory.

 

[Wielki Hegemon]

Sacred places belief gives cities with a world wonder additional gold, science, faith and gold

 

[criZp]

I never care about religion so making it more worthwhile with some buffed beliefs, sure. Most of the video was stuff from the previous patch tho.

 

[acluewithout]

Aren't some of these things already in the game?

And I'm sure the Red Death stuff is great for people who like it, but it's not exactly within the scope of my interests. I'd rather have trebuchets than zombies, personally.

Sure. But Trebuchets that launch Zombies would be even better.

Could use it for an endgame crisis, zombie apocalypse, combined with Alien invasion. Like when you win a space victory. you manage to wake up aliens who invade.

Seriously. I would very much like to see Zombies and Aliens in the Apocalypse Mode. I can’t say I’m still all that excited about the Apocalypse Mode. But if it’s got any value, it has to be maximum gonzo.

Crab God is a bit of a call back.

Tweaking Religious Beliefs was kinda always on the cards for this patch. I’d really hoped they might diversify the Religious Units a little more, perhaps even having more unlock via beliefs like the Monks do. Instead, looks like it’s more of just a flat buff to certain beliefs.

 

[WillowBrook]

Kevin's cat!

Also, a bit confusing - some of the things came in the May patch, but the tweaks to religious beliefs and new red death factions are definitely not in yet.

Very amusing, way to embrace working from home!

I wonder when the patch will drop....

 

[OmegaDestroyer]

Nice but underwhelming.

I think it's interesting that Warrior Monks has been buffed, especially now that the AI isn't Hell-bent on taking it all the time.

I've found my new favorite bonus. Suddenly that +5 holy site with the double-adjacency card also gives 10 production? That's huge!

It makes sense for Red Death. I'd rather them just keep it there.

 

[Wielki Hegemon]

BTW can you guys @firaxis fix the Mayan leader name in the polish version? It s now: Panie Szóste Niebo, and should be Pani Szóste Niebo.
"Panie" in polish is plural. Singular form is "Pani'

 

[Kjimmet]

"Religious Community=International Trade Routes give +1 gold for every temple and shrine in the origin city."

 

[blackcatatonic]

One thing I did notice that I'm not sure if we'd heard before: the free updates may include things like free game modes. So we're not limited to the DLC updates for those.

Wonder if they'll consider making the World Congress a game mode?

You would have a good shot at getting a respone/noticed on Twitter.

I think we'll be anxiously awaiting patch notes to clarify what's new after that video. Seems like a lot of good stuff, on the bright side.

I'm particularly excited that Sean Bean recorded for Red Death. It seems wrong not to have him.

Also, what are the odds the art assets from the new zombies and aliens in the scenario can be leveraged by a base game mod?

I was a bit dissapointed after the "you're in for a treat" was followed by "more Red Death!" as I don't care for it much.

However, I'm excited by the inclusion of Zombies and Alien art assets. The new additions might even include new modifiers. The zombie health bar, for instance, seems to have something previously unseen in the game which maybe can be put to work for other uses.

Maybe that was what lifespan on unit was for.

 

[Gedemon]

It’s just another type of a goody hut. Although you would sooner expect Martian tripods to emerge from them and give a shot at Earth domination.

Surely that will be added in one of the next mode. You know, the one with Zombies invasions...

*And no, the fact that I would have loved to mod both those fantasy apocalypse mod before them is not the reason why they're not releasing the source code: it's something that could be modded in with the current tools.

Okay, fine, that's done.

Now tell me that I was wrong, that was the reason and you can now release the source code !

 

[AntSou]

Zombies and Aliens would work pretty well in an end game crisis mode. I find the idea much more entertaining than the "random 7 tiles permanently erased" which we got in Apocalypse mode.
