[NFP] Civilization VI: Possible New Civilizations Thread

Well, nothing special ... they dont even have any relation with new game mechanich. But OK, new Civ always welcome.

Balance change + Maya = Buffs to tall?

The Hul’che doesn’t have the Lifespan/Renown stats in the first look

I'm really hoping that one of the new game modes will buff tall, but I'd also accept it in the form of a balance patch.

is it just me or do the maya look incredibly weak

None of these civs will, in order to be compatible with vanilla.

Yeah, but I was expected something like "And if you play in Apocalypse mode, Mayans can predict meteorites one turn earlyer than other civs" ... something like that.

I really like the asymmetrical changes/playstyle, though I find the unique unit a bit underwhelming.

But more importantly, the symbol for honey is two bees:

You’re probably right. But they could work Civs to have slightly different abilities if you have the expansions. England already works that way, so it’s not without precedent.

I do find this a bit disappointing. I feel there is so many more interesting things that can be done with Civ abilities if they are allowed to interact with all the mechanics, rather than just the ones from the base game

Looking forward to Gran Colombia, I hope their unique infrastructure that replaces farm and a unique unit that can switch between being a builder and a cavalry unit or something

And Yellowstone could erupt tomorrow. You can speak in hypotheticals but there’s no need to be whiny.

He's not being whiny, he's expressing an opinion.

The archer replacements look very powerful and I imagine they will be a strong tall civilization with the housing boosts from farms. Now we have to see if tall is going to be buffed or not.

 

[Zdarg]

You will want cities as close to the capital as possible

Bad news.

 

[cosmicmangobear]

Looks great! Super happy to have Six Sky as leader!
Hope we get the music soon, too!

Science and archers are some of the strongest early game items, so uniques that interact with those are already very strong, a gentle hand for the absolute bonuses is needed, or else they would become death destroyer of worlds.

Must beeline for Observatories and Plantations. Asap.

 

[bite]

I would amuse the penalties are there because they discovered in QA that it is a steamroller without them

 

[AntSou]

I could swear the extra damage to damaged units already existed in the game for a different unique unit, but I went through all of them and none have that ability.

So it's fine then.

It’s obvious why they chose to make the civs only base game compatible. They want to sell as much as possible. And the England point is because they wanted to give England a buff since it was getting a new leader. Anyway, making a civ would be a lot of work and making different versions of it for Rise and Fall and Gathering storm would be hard to pull off since in those cases, it was like a patch changing an existing civ, but here you’d have to install a civ and only give the patch to people who have gathering storm or rise and fall, which would mean that you’d have to get a different version of the game for them, which would lead to download errors and stuff.

This is the first time we’re even getting a fourth wave of civs. At this point we have no right to be whining because the wave of civs didn’t do exactly what we wanted it to. Just be grateful that we’re getting a fourth wave of civs at all.

I have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about.

“Whiny” means to complain. But I’m not complaining about anything. FXS can have Civs that use RnF or GS mechanics or not. Either way, it’s no skin off my nose. I was just pointing out that it’s possible the various new Civs might use RnF or GS mechanics notwithstanding they need to be compatible with Vanilla, although as I said I think they probably won’t.

I’m not going to really respond to your points about England. I don’t think tweaking a Civ for with or without expansions would be a massive task - eg I don’t know, if FXS had wanted to do that for the Maya, then maybe Maya Cities within 6 tiles of the Capital also get extra loyalty or something - but if you don’t agree, then no worries. You do you, champ.

No unit, but Tomyris has that as her ability.
