[GS] Future Update?

[bite]

I doubt they would create a random three letter identifier just to mess with us ....... though to be honest that is 100% what I would do.

Also I would sit back with a good lemon/lime and bitters and what it unfold ... what I am saying is you don't want me running your marketing ... or maybe you do?

 

[Disgustipated]

I'm certainly not waiting for the update to play later today. I generally play one game a week. I'm still trying to play a GS game with all leaders to fill up that hall of fame. 7 left to go.

As for STK, probably pointless speculation. When I put that in a different web search page, I get mostly the restaurant due to my location (Las Vegas). Or a Columbian growth fund. Or a cryptocurrency token.

I'm guessing a new scenario and possibly a new civ.

Well, they did create "FalconChase"...

i think we lost our creative touch , let me open another avenue . what if STK is a misdirect and they try to hide the true letters like a cipher ( exchange all letters with the next one on the alphabet ) TUL , the ultimate leader , you can play as all civs with this leader?

If you need such a leader hidden behind three letters, there's already the term GOD. And the law of avoiding Occama's Razor like devil avoids the cross dictates we would sooner speculate about it being Gate of Demogorgons Scenario than God.

Now is the time of year I play Civ and it is a little disappointing they haven't patched the pantheon bug yet. I've been in two MP games which people used it.

Like everything else in this thread is NOT pointless speculation ???

9 leaders for me to go in order to get winning achievement for the leaders ;-)

The release of any expansion or not probably doesn't have anything to do with Firaxis releasing the DLL. The Civ 5 source was released before Brave New World came out.

But isn't there the potential to affect sales? Reddit is a common tool now. "Don't bother with that expansion, just use this mod instead - 10.0K upvotes". But I'll take your word these are likely unrelated.

Since we're set on what STK is, we can now go further down the rabbit hole. Speculation on top of speculation. Isn't there a fancy term for that?

Here's what I would like the DLC to focus on:
- Civs, Leaders + a Scenario which introduces extended game mechanics for modders to play with, like the Black Death.

Given how they have extended to all platforms now, I would expect some big names soon enough. A new leader for America, hopefully in STK2 rather than STK1. Lincoln is a safe choice.


Other potential Civ packs, assuming there's no 3XP, would include:

Maya + Leader and Isabella the Catholic.
Portugal + Leader and Matamba/Ndongo/Angola + Ana Nzinga.
Byzantium + Leader and Mehmed II.
Native American Civ + Leader and Lincoln.

a potential pack could also be an Italy civ with two alternate leaders

I generally play one game a week.

I generally play one game a month.
I don't really see how to make it faster, on huge map and normal speed.

Native American Civ + Leader and Lincoln.

Shouldn't it be Johnson?

 

[AntSou]

Shouldn't it be Johnson?

Andrew Johnson? God no. And Lyndon Johnson is too recent.

They need to be only lightly related. Like Isabella and the Maya in the same pack. I think Isabella was already dead by then?

If they were afraid of mods affecting sales, they wouldn't have released the tools to make DLC-level mods.

Because we have those tools, yet I don't think any mod affects DLC sales.

@Gedemon

What do you think are potential reasons for the delay of the source code in CIV VI?

 

[Zdarg]

Andrew Johnson? God no.

I thought that president who warred with Indeans was Andrew Johnson indeed? Was he trumply bad not to fit as American leader in a scenario? Don't think so.

Likely, Maya were already dead by then. Isabella was born like 500 years after extinction of Maya. Do you mean Azteca?

Oh damn, it was probably Andrew Jackson,

I wouldn't say that's possible at all. I say this as a prolific mod creator and an avid mod user: the proportion of players who use mods is a tiny minority, and this is becoming even truer with the proliferation of Civ VI across platforms that have no access to mods. No mod will ever affect the sales of an expansion. And again, as a modder and mod user, I pick official content vs modded content any day of the week.

I wish I knew, it would have been a huge help to plan my own mods development if I had known it would take so long compared to the 2 previous versions of the game.

Except maybe some development cost (cleaning the code before public release, obligation to update it with each patch) outweighing the benefits or not wanting other developers to have access to their gameplay/AI source code (don't laugh), I can't see any other valid reasons

 

[Zdarg]

I'd say Rhye's and Fall and Fall from Heaven were both better than official content. At least, not worse.

 

[Gedemon]

I'd say Rhye's and Fall and Fall from Heaven were both better than official content. At least, not worse.

but they were different, total conversions, not in competition with the game's expansions.

now, a total conversion in competition with a potential spinoff (Colonization, Beyond Earth), that could be possible, but if that were to happen, I'm pretty sure the official version would not lose sales because of a total conversion mod, even a very good one like those two.

Fixing the pantheon exploit only requires a hotfix, and I'm really surprised that hasn't been done yet. Likewise, a hotfix would correct the bug whereby acceding to a demand lowers your standing instead of improving it.
