Friday's PAX talk (with overview)

[nokmirt]

I would love to walk through that door!

How about UU's for Huns, and Carthage, please?

I will ask that first good question Eagle Pursuit.

 

[TheMarshmallowBear]

Anybody knows if the stuff that is shown today and Saturday will be highlighted on Sunday?

 

[anandus]

Any info on the Dutch?

 

[Louis XXIV]

Mountain crossing is a touch corny, but I'm thrilled with the harbor ability (although I think mine was cooler ).

 

[nokmirt]

Any info on the Dutch?

No prob I'll ask that too.

You can stand in front of the door and pretend to be Mini-Boudicca.

What ability is that? Mountain crossing I wish I had on my current map. I have the iron I am after mined and a city next to it already.

 

[Louis XXIV]

My suggestion? Mercenary Armies - Cost of purchasing units reduced by 25%. This went with a Unique Building - Cothon - Replaces Harbor, no maintenance, +1 gold. The biggest point was synergy between the two, making them a mercantile/millitaristic focused civ.

But free harbors is good for me (it was my original proposal for the Dutch).

 

[anandus]

New resources confirmed (don't know if he meant faith though, don't think so.)

 

[Louis XXIV]

The Medieval Scenario is called "Into the Renaissance" so it seems to be late Middle Ages, moving into the Renaissance. It's very much religion/holy war focused. I think it'll be fun. Ed Beach's background is Renaissance boardgames, so that might be fun.

Askia's trait is changed. A few other traits are changed around, but not most.

 

[D712]

Is anybody recording the stream? Because mine just started to say that I cant access this content for some reason and I can't see the interview. D;

 

[anandus]

Great Admiral heals surrounding naval units

Edit:
9 brand new civs

And Spain, although I'm not sure if he meant in a scenario

 

[Eagle Pursuit]

The stream is really jumpy for me.

 

[Dregor]

Spain is included in full, in addition to the 9 new civs. No other of the DLC civs tho apparently.

 

[Dregor]

Maria Theresa (sp?) leader of Austria

 

[D712]

Ohmgohabvpi austria has maria theresa omfg its real

 

[Louis XXIV]

Austria - Maria Theresa
Unique Ability allowing you to essentially absorb City-States into empire without conquest (sort of through marriage).

 

[anandus]

Austria confirmed, Maria Theresa if I heard it right?

 

[PlasticSoldier]

Austria confirmed with Maria Theresa.

 

[Arkangelus]

The things he's saying about the AI, diplomatic modifiers, how they wage wars and reevaluate their plans... all this sounds really, REALLY good. Exactly what we needed.
