Fall patch discussion thread

love that you can see where your city is expanding to again.

Oh, that's nice, I do wonder how many times I've wasted buying tiles that would come in the next 2 turns anyway.

A little sad that you can no longer get *any* gold for deleting units (I was hoping they'd just reduce the amounts), but all in all it's a solid list.

Yeah, I though they'd nerf it down to civ 5 levels (i.e. like 20 gold on delete or something). It is odd the number of issues that they already solved in civ 5 and then are having to re-solve.

they practically fixed everything i wanted

Since the patch came in I have been getting weird flickering graphical glitches if I zoom in too much, anyone else getting a similar issue?

As my connection is super slow atm, can someone say if the patch breaks saves? Thanks!

City focus buttons are working for me. Citizens clearly switch working different tiles when I change focus.

Also really like the new civ selection screen.

Yeah, they're working for me too.

I'm having an issue with launching a game but it may be a mod thing.

Lot of great stuff, but still no Restart button, still doesn't remember 'New Game' settings...

Also no random map size option. I'm not sure the UI fixes address the major problems with the UI, and the AI tuning doesn't appear to address poor unit construction (dearth of ranged units) unless this is part of 'improved city and unit build planning'. Also, what issues were there with the Dan Quayle ranking?

No it doesn't

Try updating your graphics card drivers. The Dx12 changes need them, and cause flickering with old drivers.

 

[AmtrakQuebec]

erm

 

[AmtrakQuebec]

The two big changes that many have been requesting I see are...

1) The renaming of Cities; and

2) You can now turn Auto Unit Cycle off in the menu

... plus apparently the Dan Quayle rankings have been made more realistic now

So no one is talking about how Tomyris looks like she is about to give you the finger? LoL (in the leader selection menu)

 

[Xaviarlol]

I'd like to hear if the AI has improved in waging wars, and if diplo is still broken.

 

[whyidie]

So many changes in such short order. Well done Firaxis!

Glad I got to use some of the exploits before they were bashed

 

[GlobalTree]

so when can we expect civ balance..??

I doubt we'll get too much civ balance immediately. A few changes in here might change civ rankings already. Assuming the horse production is down to +50%, that makes horse units merely op instead of ridiculously op. An extra amphitheatre slot could make theatre square districts and cultural victories become slightly more viable in mp, or easier to manage in SP, improving civs that rely on them. Civ balance seems right now to be largely a product of game balance, civs with advantages to good strategies are better than civs with advantages to bad strategies.

Hmmm, as sparkly as the fallout currently is, it's also rather hard to see... patch doesn't appear to address this. Can we haz glowing throbbing sparkly mass?

 

[Artifex1]

Is it bad idea to play saved games after a major patch?

 

[smartcanuck1988]

This is great! Weekend plans cancelled.

• Units may no longer be deleted when they are damaged.

• Deleting a unit no longer provides gold.

Why restrict when a unit can be deleted, if deletion no longer provides gold? Makes me think that the first item was a hack fix before they implemented the second fix.
