Civ6 Live stream in 12 mn (3PM EST)

The graphics are very good especially the city center zoomed in and the modern cities with all the citylights glowing.

The artillery unit and battleship were good too.

I love how the modern era cities and landscapes looked busy and alive... Civ 5 looks so static now.

I agree, it looked very much alive. Loved the day-night cycle.

Not a word about the combat AI so far... If it was drastically improved, presumably he'd mention it.

 

[Eagle Pursuit]

Maybe they're an advisor?

That or a narrator.

 

[COF]

Maybe they're an advisor?

Doubt it, he was animated just like Cleo and Teddy so far. No way they would put in that much work for advisors.

Ed Beach said that the AI will be able to think 20-30 moves ahead and plan what it needs to do. He mentioned the active research system and that the AI will know what it needs to do to get the eureka bonus for a tech it wants later.

I hope you're right. I always turn those dinks off anyway.

EDIT
Nevermind, I got it

 

[UkrNixon]

That or a narrator.

Most likely

Doubt it, he was animated just like Cleo and Teddy so far. No way they would put in that much work for advisors.

Doubt it, beacuse, unlike them, he doesn't have a "historical" background. He just has a map of a game. And immidiately after he disappears, said map zooms in on Chinese capital.

 

[SupremacyKing2]

I wasn't able to watch it on time...

Where can I find it now?

I'm thinking it will be available later on the Rocket Beans Twitch channel once the live stream is saved.

I took some low-quality screenshots of the video in progress!

Yes, but will that pre-planning apply to the combat system as well? Imo, the combat AI is the most important aspect of the AI, because if it is borked like in Civ V, it means that all those other decisions effectively cease to matter, since you could just take over the world with a single army (if you could bother with the micromanagement).

I hope the day/night cycle persists in the game naturally, outside of the wonder videos. It doesn't make sense from a turn-to-turn point aspect, because each turn is indicative or more time passing that a simple day/night.

However, it would be absolutely AMAZING if the day/night dynamically shifts as you are taking the turn itself. Meaning, if you just idled on the map staring at the screen without hitting the end turn button, the time would pass between day and night. So long turns could thematically take more than one "day".

Chances are he was shown as a teaser without his background.

 

[SemperFi2382]

Ugh, he sidestepped answering about confirming Hotseat.

Although, he did say that the long game was still an option for MP.

 

[Eagle Pursuit]

Confirmed 4 uniques.

 

[Larsenex]

Thanks for the posting. i could did not stick around long enough for them to start talking about Civ. I could not even find it on twitch. The shots are amazing!

 

[UkrNixon]

That was quite an awkward teaser then. I mean, when a leader is mistaken for an advisor, you know it's not great XD

 

[stiiknafuulia]

4 unique abilities! Power, unique improvement, UB, UU? (Why is there no 'scratching chin' smiley? We need it asap! ... EDIT: Found it; I'm just stupid, disregard this!)

 

[Eagle Pursuit]

Dodged on porting to other platforms.

 

[Haig]

The Chinese city build menu had an unit called 'Heavy Chariot'. Could it be an UU, did Chinese have those?

What ships were bombarding Egyptian city, battleships maybe?

I think Cleo had some Elizabeth Taylor vibe..

The musketmen unit had the same icon as in Civ 5, but did anyone catch which "era" musketmen they are, napoleonic or early? (If anyone gets what I mean)
