[R&F] Devs Play as India

[Returning Lurker]

I think that's fair, but I also think it's worth remembering that neither Sarah nor Brian are responsible for the pantheon beliefs.

When I say “they” I’m not referring to the two in the livestream, I’m using it as a collective “they” meaning “the dev team”.

I hang my head in shame.

Thanks for watching the stream, folks - appreciate the feedback, and you're giving me some great ideas for things to show next time!

The forgotten Asoka might become the new meme.

Everybody makes mistakes. Continue what you are doing.

LOL. Me too. I spelled his name wrong.
Edit: Nevermind, either way is good but still...

Ashoka should simply replace Gandhi as India's peacemongering leader in future. Or bring back Poundmaker and the Cree for that role and give India someone like Chandragupta Maurya or Akbar the Great.

Yes, I'm sure we'll be seeing the Cree back really soon in Civ7.

And by in "Civ7" you mean, "Never again"

What other possible Civ could they put there to fill the geographical gap?

I don't know about you, but 9 out of 10 times I don't escort my Settler either (and that's a conservative guess). Just because humans are a bunch of sociopaths that game the system and declare war to capture any unguarded settler while abusing that the AI doesn't do that doesn't mean it's a bad AI, it just means players are gaming the system. I mean, I guess you could say that they should be more careful of when to escort their settler or not, but seriously, stop blaming the AI when you're exploiting the rules.

Uh, we haven't seen anything regarding penalties?

(also I really, really hope we won't. Penalties are why civ 5 sucks.)

Penalties are why Civ 5 sucks. And unescorted settlers are a mockery. It's unimmersive to say that it's an exploit to take them!

Good thing about YouTube's Restricted Mode. It hides all comments at the cost of some videos becoming unviewable.

Waaaaaaay too many good video's unviewable.

I actually didn't know the Cree made it all the way to the Eastern Seaboard. On the plus side, I'm now 100% convinced we won't be seeing Canada, because the Cree have it covered.

Did anyone else notice that the inspiration for political phylosophy is boosted to 1/3 instead of 1/2? (17:58 in the youtube video)

I haven't seen it in the comments yet.

In the other save they are playing it looks like it's boosted to 1/2 (42:55 in the youtube video)

So, have they met 2 city states and is 2/3 of 1/2 boosted? Is that it? Or is the savegame from a different build perhaps? Any thoughts?

I think I made a post before.

Now techs and civics costs 20% more if in an era more advanced than the current era, while cost 20% less if being behind the current era. But the boost amount is still 50% of the original. So the boost is actually 5/12.

Thx for the stream, pity you need to learn to play civ ;0)

Moves apostle out from under enemy archer.. moves apostle under enemy spearmen.. next turn, spearmen kills apostle.

I'm thinking you did that on purpose.. "obviously". To show off the new layers you love so much.. I think it's particularly great how you can show so much in a livestream, by doing so little.. instead of playing "a game" and letting people see the truth of the gameplay, you basically just do a couple of turns and talk alot, giving us the tedious info on how the game is meant to work, without showing us anything useful. It's almost like you are expecting to see broken gameplay and bugs and don't want anyone to see the truth.

At least it wasn't like one of Pete's pre release videos.. "oh yeh, that's a bug, it'll be fixed by release" still isn't fixed. re: Swordsmen running on the spot animation glitch. (Which cannons also do and horsemen) Must admit I now start watching your dev livestreams expecting to see very little actual information and then I'm not overly disappointed.

 

[Disgustipated]

I got a decent amount of information. If they had been playing fast like many experienced Youtubers/Twitchers do, I would have missed a lot.

But yeah, it's clear they can't talk and play. It's not easy, so I don't fault them for that.

Perhaps a little bit too much laughing and stuff, but I like hearing them have a good time, and she has a cute laugh.

 

[Vahnstad]

lol, even Georgia is more likely to return in civ 7.

 

[Lily_Lancer]

I'm sorry, but my main concern is not "rush, hurry, I must win under 200 turns, as fast as I can", my concern is to build developed empire, and enjoy the game. I want to try and adopt a playstyle that I like and I find enjoyable. And I guess this is the main difference between us two, and why we don't understand each other. You want to win fast. I also want to win, but I have no need to finish my game in 150 turns. All I want to do is to win and enjoy. Even if my games could take 300 turns.

Oh, and some other fact. I'm playing on King, and I'm still kind of new to Civ. This may also be a major difference between us.

I don't know whether winning fast being not "enjoyable". But if you discuss about the "strength" of anything you must refer to its actual effect. For example, Kongo has more malus than bonus to help you win or win fast or enjoy the game, so there's no reason for it to not rank the bottom.

I guess the combination of Sarah and Ed or Sarah and Pete will be so much better. Sarah providing the talk and fun factor while Ed or Pete giving some game insights.

Well, I think people would disagree about the 3rd point (the fact that people still rank them up near the top despite their flaws likely points to people "enjoying" playing as them more than they "deserve". But yes, when talking about the "strongest" civs, it is important to make sure people are comparing them along the same axis. The same reason why certain civs are much stronger in multiplayer vs single-player.

They are also one of the top AI Civs. I don’t think I’ve ever seen them crash and burn.

I like Brian, Anton, and the bald guy too. All of them seem to have their quirks which means that they may all be better off with Sarah there questioning them.

My current game apparently they got defeated. I think they started in the middle of Gilgamesh and Monty and were wiped out before I even met them (I was on the other continent). But otherwise, they're usually right up near the top, yes.

I don't even wonder they for wrecked. If you start next to Sumer, you're usually going to have a very bad time.

Poor Andrew Frederiksen.

He's been reduced to "the bald guy."
