Continents:

During map generation the script generates one "continent" for every two civs. So, they're more like regions instead of relying solely on landmasses.

Tooltips will display the continent name that a tile belongs to as well.

 

[chazzycat]

confirmed continents and landmasses are not the same. Even a pangea map is divided into continents based on number of civs (roughly 2 civs per continent)

Religious victory confirmed

Diplomatic deal screen:

Spoiler :

Repair does not eat up a builder charge. Does end the builder's turn. Pillaging districts will give yields based on the district type.

Cities are not founded in the same order. Only the capital city is the same every time.

 

[Mort_Q]

Repair doesn't use up a Builder charge, but ends its turn.

 

[Barathor]

Ooh, different yields from improvements pillaged.

For example, you can earn science from pillaging a science district.

EDIT: You guys got things covered, I leave the updates to all of you.

City list is randomized.
So if you see New York for America it can be their 8th city or their 2nd. No way to tell.

I hope I can partially derandomize it. I'd like NYC to at least always be second.

 

[SupremacyKing2]

there is anarchy but only when switching back to a government you used to have. Cool.

 

[Mort_Q]

Changing gov't doesn't cause anarchy unless you are switching to one you've had before.

Thought he was talking about the archer IN the city. The archer can shoot over forest if on a hill.

Just write it in.

Sean Bean will be voicing all tech and civic quotes

 

[chazzycat]

too slow yet again

 

[thecrazyscot]

Unique districts are (roughly) half the cost of normal districts

 

[Morningcalm]

"Mythdracon" here. Ed answered both my questions (on governments and anarchy and Sean Bean voicing civic quotes). So flattered I was.

I did want to know why leaders didn't seem to speak when making trade offers though...

Other info:

Continents are not the same as landmasses. This causes interesting interactions with Victoria, who, on the same landmass, could want to establish a city on your continent (N America v S America situation basically). Victoria's Sun Never Sets Agenda means she likes you less when she's eyeing your continent to settle on.

Street Carnival is half-price!
And by the way they are talking, the Royal Dockyard is also half-price.

Maybe to avoid "Would you be interested in a trade agreement with England?" type scenarios?

Seriously though, it's a bit sad not even hearing them say yes or no to the trade proposals...
