[LP] Great Negotiators: First Look

[Zaarin]

That was my thoughts as well. No negotiation to be seen

To be fair, the Great Negotiators pack is shockingly lacking in negotiators in the first place.

 

[nzcamel]

Okay, so I guess I have to "buy" the Anthology to get this for free. I thought because I have evrything in Civ 6 I wouldn't have to do that. I can't see where to "buy" the anthology on Steam now though.

 

[tedhebert]

Why bother playing Mvemba ever again…

Well I never played him anyways because his Leader Bonus is so crap... So I,m actually glad to get a valid option here !

 

[The_J]

Don't buy it. It's probably a temporary technical issue.

 

[nzcamel]

I can't buy the anthology. The button is faded as you can see. Which is fine. I have everything. But so I do have to buy the leaders pass? I have everything.

Lincoln himself, contary to Booth's view of him, did negotiate the American civil war about as well as anyone could have... but yes

How else could he have negotiated with "Unconditional Surrender" Grant at his side?

...I still say Grant got screwed over in the epithet Department...

Especially since his middle name is actually S. It's not short for anything.

 

[nzcamel]

I can't even easily start a game with a saved setup in the advanced menu and have Caesar. Have to manually imput it all again, or he disappears

His real name was Hiram Ulysses Grant, but he changed it to Ulysses S Grant when he joined the army. Supposedly he didn't want his initials to be HUG.

Yes, and he liked the sound of US Grant. The name change was legal, though, so at the time he was general or president his legal middle name was S. IIRC he also disliked the name Hiram.

I bought it, I assumed you had to since it is new content. I also owned everything. Did I waste my money?

Yes you did unfortunately.

 

[ZenSpider]

Given that the name of the DLC is Great Negotiators, I was expecting diplomatic abilities, at least for Mbande Nzinga. All of them are much more warmongers than negotiators.

[KayAU]

Ah well. I've sent in a refund request then, let's see how it goes.

 

[KayAU]

Got the refund, then got the anthology for no money, so all is good. Wouldn't have minded paying for it if it wasn't supposed to be free for those of us who already had bought everything.

In order to process the cart, I had to add a small game so the amount was not zero. I searched briefly for good $1 games, and ended up with one called "Reveal the deep".

My first Kongo game with Nzinga is going amazingly well. Got a good start location, and was early with...everything, basically.

With this leader, Kongo seems like a proper "tall" civ, similar to the Mayans, and maybe a contender for being my favorite.

 

[Tech Osen]

Lincoln's +loyalty only works for the district and not the buildings on it according to the in game description? That seems rather lackluster. A production bonus to IZs would have been nice.

Correct. But you are granted the free Melee unit for the IZ and every time one of it's buildings are constructed.

Heh, mine is off to a bumpy start as I play Deity for the first time in about 18 months…

I’ve just clawed back my second and third city from the clutches of Jadwiga (who is a big fan of Catapults) and am finally able to build something other than Ngao Mbeba.
