[R&F] December Update Video Thread

[FXS_MisterKevin]

He might of though it was a cat, but then realized it was just a regular barbarian wolf, without the Scout Cat DLC installed.

The true speculation of this update: what inanimate objects does Kevin kiss and how often?

"One, More, Year."

Imagine how interesting it'd be if you are playing as Navajo civ against Vietnam and Kublai Khan in late April 2021, and then instead of getting a monthly patch, you're getting a new expansion pack announcement

Some really big changes:

- Rationalism has been nerfed. You now need 15 population to get +50% science. (Also they mentioned about Adj. points so maybe you now need +4 adj. instead of +3 to get the other +50% science boost.)
- Later policy cards that give you GG points have been buffed in a big way. For example "Invention" policy card now gives you +4 GE points AND +2 GE points for every workshop.

Woah, the boost to policy cards that give you Great People points is huge. I'm looking forward to seeing how that plays out, maybe at some point, wildcard slots will actually not just be more economy card slots?

Overall, the changes in this patch looks beyond solid. I really look forward to more info on the STOP PESTERING ME button. I'm not sure I want to block the AI from contacting me completely, but if I can stop them from asking me for an embassy or a delegation, that will be the biggest QoL improvement so far.

I have to believe the "most kissed" object is probably a BTS signed poster or something like that.

That seems a bit excessive, the Resource Picker. If they add a Leader Picker first, then I might be willing to see a Resource Picker.

We already have a Leader Picker, we only can't choose wish Leaders we don't want in the Game. The Resource Picker would be more useful for Players who use Resource Mods, especially luxury resources. Since the Game only allows 4 Luxuries per Continent, it would be nice to choose resources that will be in the Game.

Nerf to rationalism was super needed, and 15 pop makes a lot of sense imo.

Babylon rush just got even better though! Yikes the easier industrialization is probably the biggest one there for them, but the others are just pushing an S tier civ to S+.

overall looks solid though! Just will have to reroll if I see Babylon

Makes sense.

Yeah, I always found the late game GP policy cards were just bad. Like, 4 great people points? Was useless. But now, if you add in +2 per workshop or museum, suddenly it becomes intriguing to figure out the math there.

Requiring 15 pop for the rationalism card will give you a reason to get to 15 pop. Would still love to see them balance the citizen slots in districts to further make it worth it to grow that big and actually fill the land with districts, but some nice changes coming here it seems.

I missed the actual numbers.

I sort of wish they'd just make it a proportional. I.e. +3% for each population and +3% for each adjacency or something like that.

I wonder how is the stability on massive maps in YnAMP after the patch...
(I know, I know )

As I said elsewhere, I think you'll have to wait for the NPF to end to give them the time to take a deep breath and look at the game's stability which has gone a bit further down with the NPF as far as I can tell from reading the forums.

Is it possible to make a Resource Picker (I mean modding one - Somehow just like the CS picker shown in the Update Video)?

Yes, I had planned one for luxuries before I stopped modding.

You'd have to hook on the map creation somehow, YnAMP override AssignStartingPlots.lua for example, which may cause compatibility issue if done from another mod.

Not on console for instance.

or not in MP, official support is welcome of course.

 

[CoconutTank]

Professional Sports boost now will be more manageable.
In other news, as Babylon was rather weak on release, these changes bring them up to par with the others

Those eureka and inspiration changes are crazy. I will absolutely enjoy them, esp. the ones for Industrialization and Refining

Edit: This picture is missing another eureka change; Advanced Ballistics eureka drops from having 2 Oil Plants to 1 I don't hard build Machine Guns, but I do like upgrading my Field Cannons to help them keep up for a bit.

A psychologist may have a field day with this.

You mean Sigmund Freud and his psychoanalyst disciples.

Dangerous grounds, my friend... VERY dangerous grounds indeed !!!

That's great! I will try to make one, perhaps also another one that's worked upon your YnAMP Mod, with your permission of course.

Maybe the "One more Year" is a hint, that it's going to be the last Year we will reseive something from the Developpers for Civ VI. I hope by the release of the last NFP DLC pack they will finally release the DLL. I would choose this over all Expansions/DLC's that might come.

 

[SammyKhalifa]

I'm ready for diplomacy option of "PLEASE STOP ATTACKING MY CITY STATE FRIEND YOU JERK"

 

[Duuk]

Did I miss it or was there no release date?

 

[FinalDoomsday]

Could the new game mode hinted be raging barbarians 2.0? with unique barbarian leaders with different playstyles like in Civ Revolution?

 

[Zaarin]

Which means @Zaarin could install the Australia DLC and play with Uluru finally without worrying if Australia is in the game.

YnAEMP already has that and I already use it.

 

[Starina]

I'm not sure if I like the change to the bonus against anti-cavalry units ... At least up to +7, not up to +5
And why not scale the eureka from the level of complexity?
