[GS] Future Update?

[Eagle Pursuit]

Isn't it the next Tuesday the 25th?

Correct. Carnival, Mardi Gras, Shrove Tuesday or whatever you want to call it is the day before Ash Wednesday.

 

[Disgustipated]

Isn't it the next Tuesday the 25th?

this is correct, and followed by Lent for those who practice it.

To people hoping Humankind delivers better on historical accuracy - ya'll realize you can literally just make any guy or las to lead the civ and the trailer showed as its primary model som odd hipster-like guy? Like I am sure Humankind will find its niché audience, but I somehow fail to see how someone can look at the trailer and think it will somehow be better than Civ in accuracy. Also not sure how accurate will be starting as Assyrians but ending as USA. Humankind seems to want to do its own thing and I do like it, but it's not Civ. I feel like whole Humankind is at this point over-glorified to be used as threat to Firaxis. People want it to be something it clearly isn't and to be great out of some odd revenge for silence. Which is your business but you might be setting yourself up for collosal disappointment. As in that it won't be that.

On-topic: There has been some flurry of simple updates. Wonder If it means we might be getting close to at least some patch.

Soooooo...Anybody feel comfy enough with Dreams to build us the historical 4X that will be all things to all people?

Do you know what might be cool?

FXS release a patch and some DLC in the next few weeks, and it’s really cool and either is a great capstone to the game or it’s clear we’ll get another 18 months of cool DLC.

No snark. For reals.

Every now and again I think about when GS came out, and what a crazy good jump up that was for the game. I know FXS have been silent for a while, but seriously, it’s quite possible something really good is coming along in due course, even if we have basically no idea what.

So far, the only thing that’s been released that was disappointing was RnF, and a lot of the stuff in that which I thought was half-baked has got massively improved by GS and subsequent Patches. I mean, Loyalty is now easily one of my top 3 things I like in the game. I admit Governors are a good Mechanic (I just wish we had a few more unlock later in the game), Dedications and Eras give the game a great rhythm (although, again, I’d like to see an extra dedication per Era - 4 is too restrictive) and hands down I really like the Gov Plaza once I realised you do have quite a few options about when, where and why you build it (it’s now usually the corner stone of my three city IZ aqueduct dam Super Mega City - now if I could only find something for my Super Mega City to build...).

Anyway. Just saying things might work out in the end. And I still quietly hope they do.

The World Congress would like to have a word with you.

...Somewhat about your above comments, but mostly about how you'll get +20% growth but -5 loyalty in all your cities, and what the heck that's supposed to mean to anyone.

I really like the current implementation of the World Congress. Yes, even the two tiered voting. Indeed, I think the World Congress as implemented has done a lot to make Emergencies more meaningful and increase the value of and strategy around City States.

My only gripes are (1) I don’t like how it automatically starts in the Medieval Era - too repetitive and arbitrary - it should be triggered by either an event or a Wonder, (2) lack on Wonders that really impact the World Congress - Apostolic Palace and UN Building please, and (3) the various Resolutions need some work and balancing.

But I get I’m probably in the minority in liking the World Congress and Diplomacy in general.

Well, you're right on the "threatening" part, I shamelessly admit that I'm doing exactly that when I say that a modder don't have time to mod two games for example, but on the other hand civ6 is IMO the worst of the series about giving the "build a Civilization to stand the test of time" feeling, and is behind civ2, civ4 and civ5 for modding capabilities...

So maybe I'll be disappointed by HK too, but I really do have the feeling that at this point Amplitude is my only hope to get a civ game closer to my taste, because they need to be different if they want to compete, while I don't see Firaxis changing a design philosophy that sells well for civ7, even when they completely remove people like myself from it's targeted audience.

Tuesday the 25th is Carnival. But I don't know if that has any relevance at all at this point.

Probably being very desperate here... But I just remembered that Venetian Carnival mask from their last update video.

That was a hint for the Red Death scenario as in The Masque of the Red Death.

Oh. Must have missed on that one being explained.

Could it be a double hint, though?

Please dont say that. Now my hope is gone for a quick announcement at Carnival.

Personally I'm trying not to have any hope to begin with. Easier said than done, I know, especially if Civ VI is *the* game for you.

All too familiar...

Eh, I still like it the way it is now, haven't had much time to play and haven't even played out the last patch yet

I would require it to where you at least have to meet all the Civs first and everyone reaches the Diplomatic Service civic.

Not to be overly cynical, but at what point does this thread get closed, or at least renamed, to something more appropriate, like "Nebulous Future of the Game?" We're obviously no longer talking about "a winter patch", we're speculating about a DLC, a 3rd expansion, a spin-off game, and, at this point, if Civ6 is dead and we're awaiting a Civ7 announcement. The lack of anything but pre-scheduled filler from Firaxis makes it look like the team is working on something non-Civ6 related (which leads me to believe that the "we're not done!" means spin off).

Edit: Holy Hell I have 14 years registered on this forum.

There's still over a month until the equinox, plenty of time to drop a winter patch.

 

[Kaan Boztepe]

There's still over a month until the equinox

we could also say 13 months till next years equinox , which technically is more realistic at this time
