[NFP] January Update Video Discussion

[Duke William of Normandy]

Maybe like "the first buildings of every district produce +1 of another yield: culture for shrines, science for amphitheaters, production for markets...". I don't know the historical justification behind this, but it would encourage a polyvalent gameplay. Not necessarily what I love the best but very interesting nonetheless!

I wonder if Vietnam will be part of the asymetric civs. They're the funniest to play to be honest.

It has something to do with Terrain as well, so maybe it has to do with Floodplains, Rainforests, and Marshes.

So when is first look videos on Vietnam and Kublai Khan?
Whole patch is released on 28 so...

 

[Weraptor]

The new district looks quite disappointing to me.

 

[Potworny]

"They are known for their bravery" ... "they are not only considered one of Vietnam's national heros" when referring to Vietnam's leader.

Is he using "they" to mean plural or as a means to not give away whether it's a female or male leader?

Isn't the singular 'they' the most elegant linguistic device ever?

Look at the yields of the buildings...seems like Vietnams CA buffs them

Either that, or the monopoly/corporation/whatever

Does the capital name of Thăng Long point to or away from anyone? My expert Wikipedia research indicates that the name was given to the city in the 11th century, so that would make Lady Trieu somewhat unlikely, but to be honest I know embarassingly little about Vietnam *(and Asia overall) history, so I'm curious what you think.

It's basically a godsend for Bull Moose Teddy.

 

[Eagle Pursuit]

Very interesting. The preserve looks like it will mesh with my "minimal improvements" playstyle. The new Mode is what I've always wanted, using resources and economics to their full potential. I can't wait to see the First Looks for Kubai and Vietnam.

 

[Earl Grey - hot]

Still waiting for leader and Civ features via the First Look, but I'm digging Vietnam's capitol building and symbol. Didn't realize the significance of turtles in Vietnamese culture - looks like I have an exciting folklore and myth rabbit hole to check out

 

[Myomoto]

Preserve seems like a really odd choice for a new district. We already have National Parks to basically do the same thing.

I think it will be a very fun district, no doubt. I really like the new Teddy and playing with appeal and boosting it for yields is a lot of fun - it just doesn't seem like something the game really needs?

 

[bbbt]

Is no one going to talk about the preserve? It's basically a National Park in District form.

It looks like something you'll want to carefully situate next to as many potential national park tiles as possible.

 

[Kupe Navigator]

So again I have to ask... when is first look videos? We only have a week before the full realease.

Probably on Wednesday and Friday, although I could be wrong.

I think it's making use of an underutilized mechanic (appeal) that people seem to like.

 

[bengalryan9]

I wonder if national parks will be able to include a preserve district... kind of seems like they should be able to but maybe that would be OP?

Australia will have feild day with preserve. .. as well as Teddy (bull mose) and Maori.

Mapuche as well.

It is something to raise appeals... something that was rather difficult to do unless you had UI that did it or mangaed to build Effel Tower.

 

[AntSou]

Greenish headgear, no facial hair, round face. It looks like a female leader:

Probably the 21st and 26th, Thursday and Tuesday respectively

 

[sonicmyst]

Basically this month is a boost to culture players like me.

 

[Buktu]

Thursday and Tuesday next week. Plus the dev stream on wednesday next week.

 

[blackbutterfly]

The new district looks quite disappointing to me.

I hope they boost tourism, not just indirectly via appeal. From the video it looks like it can be built on forest. I wonder if you can build national parks on top of them?

O/w it will defeat the objective cos parks are hard enough to build cos of the multitude of contraints.

It overlaps a bit with the City Park improvement though, doesn't it? Liang might be a little devalued from it.
