[GS] Livestreamer Previews Discussion Thread

[Casworon]

On a positive note they finally updated the tool-tip for berserkers to properly show +10 on attack and -5 on defense

 

[Giskler]

Poland updated. I can't see changes.

 

[Eagle Pursuit]

I mean if Norway and Georgia aren’t seeing significant buffs then I don’t suppose I’d expect to see much outside of flavour changes to the others.

I was hoping Iteru would have got a little bit more but ultimately the game around the Civs is where the biggest changes come from. (Like France between vanilla and R&F)

Georgia's unique walls did get a bit better. Worth building? Probably not.

 

[AriochIV]

Floods only occur in flood plains.

Except it appears that pretty much every flat tile adjacent to a river is now a flood plain.

Interesting 'summary' video of GS from Marbozir, don't know if it's already been posted or not:

My summary, based on skipping through it: don't buy GS if you're looking for it to improve the AI, but it contains lots of cool stuff.

Note: Nothing about grievances decaying faster for Gorgo or Alexander even though they mentioned it.

That would be part of their Historical Agenda which is not included in these screenshots.

 

[Red_warning]

One can still hope that the missing old civ changes are in the release build.

 

[IvoryPavane]

Still trash.

Situational is probably the word I’d use haha! There are scenarios where Norway can be pretty frightening.

I think it’s biggest problem as a Civ is that all the other naval Civs can adapt to survive in different land masses but Harald is really hurt unless the world is teeming with water.

So far the only significant changes that I've seen are:

• Egypt does not take damage from floods.
• Macedon gets +10 to Strategic Resource Stockpiles.

Well, Macedon didn't need any help. But the Egypt change confirms I'm playing Egypt second.

 

[Giskler]

That's all I could find.

 

[IvoryPavane]

That's all I could find.

Thanks for that!

 

[Giskler]

Also, civs are listed by expansion now when you choose which ones to play/add.

 

[Eagle Pursuit]

We still need to find China's canal bonus that they teased.

 

[anandus]

Ahhh, I had hoped on an update for GS, maybe cheaper (or unique) flood barriers or whatever. Something to tie-in to flooding. A Dutch flood barrier is even in the trailer.

As far as I know it's that they can build them (a lot) earlier. But maybe there's more.

Did Polders always have a movement cost of 3?

Agreed, considering her bonus is tied to have districts on rivers, it feels precarious so she probably wants a dam ASAP.

It would be been flavourful to give them a bonus to dams without being too gamebreaking

Yes.

Potatoface got wiped out by Korea and restarted.

I agree, but they're probably good enough as it is.
