Sometimes this forum makes me want to spam "Comic Book Guy" gifs . . .
Overall, I find it a bit underwhelming... But maybe because they're working on the "paid" patches.
Lots of people are saying: "Well, looking at this, it's clear that they worked mainly on RD2". I don't see it that way. I saw it as "we worked mainly on secret societies, Ethiopia and the rest, and in the meanwhile we give a little something inbetween, small balances, small patches.
So, yeah, a little underwhelming because we were waiting more for the inbetween free patches, but don't forget that each "paid" patch will come with balances patches more probably.
What I feel, also, is that what we get at the beginning were the "light" stuff: easily programmed and implemented and the big stuff will be at the end. Bad marketing, maybe, but they have more time to polish the big stuff. After all, we guessed that Apocalypse was just disasters++. But Secret societies... I hope it's not just spies++ but with new mechanics. We'll see in a month.
(NEW) Holy Waters – Enhancer: Increases Healing of your religious units by +10 in Holy Site districts belonging to cities with your majority religion, or any adjacent tiles.
Maybe I'm reading this incorrectly, but this implies that you don't have to own the city. As long as the city is following your own religion, you can heal at the Holy Site. If so, this is game-changing. You would no longer have to run your apostles back to your own cities to heal, thus eliminating much of the monotonous slog of religious victory. Convert enemy cities with Holy sites, then use them to heal up. If this is the case, this is the best enhancer belief for RV.
Lets be honest: everything apart from Religious Settlements is a consolation prize
I still basically paid $50+ for forest fires and comets. Not cool.
I don't think that's entirely fair. Sure the base game content/updates were light, but hardly nothing. Unfortunately, we really don't know what fixes/enhancements were made "under the hood" since FXS didn't elaborate on them in the patch notes.So if you don't care about Apocalypse multiplayer and don't have Gathering Storm this update is..... NOTHING.
Huh, so the video did pretty much cover everything. There just wasnt anything else to talk about. Im getting more and more confident that not buying NFP was the right call. Which makes me very sad since I was really hoping for a civ6 revival![]()
Sure this is a smaller than usual patch which only addressed two small sections of the game and a minor game mode, but boy were people putting high expectations on it.
This is not part of the season pass. It's free. And seriously guys, we have gone from getting a patch a couple times a year to getting a patch each and every month for a while year. This kind of whining is just silly.Huh, so the video did pretty much cover everything. There just wasnt anything else to talk about.

To be fair, you are correct. But if there was no NFP, there would not have been any free patches. Since NFP sponsors these patches I still feel that me buying the pass would support this.This patch has nothing to do with NFP. In fact, you got it too.
Without any communication of a balance roadmap, I think many are left projecting all balancing they will ever do onto next month's patch.I wonder how it got in people's heads that, of eleven remaining patches, each one was going to be some massive rebalancing gamechanger with free content to boot?
Are you sure. I re-read and that does not seem the case. ¿Some confirmation.I did not realize Work Ethic was going to keep its original bonus on top of its new one. That definitely seems over the top.
If they made it so you get +1 G for every shrine or temple of your religion in the route (this is , in each of the cities the route goes trough), it might be worth it, and it wolud be an interesting-trade related bonus (even if a bit difficult to handle in the way trade routes work now).I definitely agree that religious community is underwhelming. Having a shrine and a temple in the city you're sending an international trade route from isn't a big hurdle, but the payoff is just too small when compared to other religious bonuses or to other trade bonuses. Maybe it should instead have a large bonus to international trade routes between cities following the same religion?.
I'm actually fine with this, I just finished a Gran Colombia Apocalypse mode game so will probably just sit this out until Ethiopia drops anyway.
To balance natural wonders you should decrease power of some, especially those recently added
Because the Cliffs of Dover are CLIFFS. It doesn't make sense that they should also occupy the tiles behind them. If anything, they should prevent improvements on the adjacent coast tiles, not the grass. Not to mention this limitation totally screws with TSL Earth Maps if you start as England.
That's simply false though. Cliffs are terrain features, meaning they modify an existing terrain type, that being hills. They are no more entwined with tiles than rivers are. Furthermore, neither cliffs nor rivers prevent the player from placing improvements, so it is inconsistent that the Cliffs of Dover do.
Firaxis asked for my money in advance. I agreed. Nothing wrong with that part. Presumably this money is going to the Civ6 development team. I cannot possibly know.
There's nothing unusual for investors to ask "How is my money being spent?" from time to time, especially if the report dates are roughly known.
So here I am, paying something in advance, and all I ask that to get something I can use. Red Death and religion are not how I play this game.
You can't sell me a soap and then give me a bucket, because Bill asked for a bucket, so they made a few. That's not how it works.
Asking for an advance has its advantages and disadvantages. One of the disadvantages is that you have to work more because have to satisfy to a wide variety of expecations, in contrast to a product for which you can say "this is what I offer".
Long Story short, a rework or merely a tweak of an existing district like commercial hub (i.e. something that everyone uses) would've been quite enough.
