[NFP] Civilization VI: Maya & Gran Colombia Pack Discussion Thread

[Foulweather]

Loving this fourth jersey color combo for the Maya. Reminds me of Civ 5.

Milta is replacing Palenque

 

[Onii-chan]

The city overlap lense is gonna be really useful as Maya is you set it to 6 range highlighting I think

Climate Change phase I happens on turn 20 (normal speed) with Apocalypse Mode active.

Updated the Features Thread with all the new information

Two Pakistan based City States was a surprise

I checked the Civilopedia in-game, and it looks like the Hunza city state actually refers to one of the cities of the Muisca confederacy in Colombia.

In other news, José de San Martín replaces Simón Bolívar as a general, as expected.

 

[Eagle Pursuit]

So who replaces Bolivar as GG?

 

[PhilBowles]

Presumably because it supplies the material needed to create the chariot/armor and weapons.

Why not just spawn an Iron resource on the map?

I have to say I like the addition of forest fires, but meteor showers should be saved for Apocalypse. There's nothing particularly disastrous about real-world meteor showers, which are commonplace and very rarely cause property damage or harm anyone.

I was expecting more changes just because of how long it's been since the last big patch, TBH. Oh well.

I agree, it makes more sense to have meteor showers turn a tile into an iron tile. Or perhaps make its own tile called "crater" that gives like, 2 iron + 1 science or something.

It is clear to me that the new apocalypse mode can be toggled on/off while setting up a new game. Has anyone checked if it is possible to toggle off the mythological natural wonders in the advanced set-up?

That article is also available in Galician, Portuguese, and... Ukrainian. How bizarre.

But iron isn't super useful for later game heavy cavalry units. So, meteor showers would only be useful until some point in the game. That's unlike the other disasters, which are always useful or always not useful.

 

[Brentonator]

Is anyone able to check the start biases for Maya/Gran Colombia? Curious if either gets a plantation resource bias as I believe Australia has a pasture resource bias.

 

[criZp]

Silk didn't use to look like this, right?

José de San Martín I believe I saw posted somewhere

Wait, can you pick your colors now? Or is that a mod?

 

[Kwami]

Sure, the Maya have a bias for flat land and plantation resources. I don't see a bias for Gran Colombia. Recall that tier 1 is the strongest bias, so you're almost always going to get some flat land and plantation resources on a normal map.

With Aspyr you never know unfortunately. They have really been unresponsive and non-customer oriented. Mac users are complaining on Twitter and PS4 users are too. Re-reading Ed's last post he does say PC only and I really didn't think about it earlier today especially after 8 months of no communication I would have expected Aspyr to be on par. Who knows, it might be released later today. It is disappointing once again.

Well that stinks! Thanks for the response. I was really thinking the DLC would be on par. I'll check back in a couple hours. If not then tomorrow I guess.

 

[Txomin]

My backup plan for the Mac version not being available at launch was my switch copy
But it seems that while the new content is available for purchase on the switch it doesn't actually work in game

 

[AtlantisAuthor]

Anyone else bought the frontier pass but can´t access to the new civs?

Yeah, I have the PS4 version and have repeatedly closed and restarted the game, checked for updates, examined the menu's DLC section, everything I can think of. I came here to see if the Pass hasn't even been activated yet, but going by some folks' screen captures it has. What gives???
