[NFP] March Update Video Discussion

[shaglio]

I wonder how the Torre de Belem will handle museums - if the lowest production cost buildings available in a city are the art and archaeological museums, which do you get? is it random? can you force it to be one or the other by starting to produce one, or could you be one turn away from an archaeological museum and then it gives you an art museum?

My dream is that, when the Wonder is completed, you get a pop-up box asking you whether you want an Art Museum or an Archaeological Museum (or a Barracks or Stable) if those situations occur.

Just thought I'd answer this one...

Unless they've integrated a new non-playable faction (there are currently three: City-States, Barbarians and Free Cities) - which, well, they haven't - then Zombies are Barbarians.

technically it's a bit different.

there are 64 "player slots" and 4 level of "players":

CIVILIZATION_LEVEL_FULL_CIV
CIVILIZATION_LEVEL_CITY_STATE
CIVILIZATION_LEVEL_FREE_CITIES
CIVILIZATION_LEVEL_TRIBE

Barbarians are "Tribe" level, but you can have multiple players as "tribes" in a game, I have 15 in my mods, and they can be at war with each other.

The only limitation is the number of slots you want to reserve for Barbarians, Free Cities, Civilizations, City States or City States to spawn later, because the 64 players limit is a hard one I suppose, I don't think it will change during the life span of civ6.

do we get the first look today?

do we get the first look today?

It would have probably already happened. My guess is Thursday or next Tuesday. Babylon was a while ago so I don't remember if that first look was the week of the announcement or the week it came out.

It should be this Thursday if it follows the NFP M.O.

"Powerful port cities"

*Shows Viseu*

Of course he doesn't need to know that, but it's funny if you're Portuguese.

Indeed I was born in Viseu
Really surprised to see a Portuguese building as a world wonder too.
As for the rest (zombie mode)... well, it's Civ 6, that "kids' game" made by somewhat "kiddish developers". Not wanting to bash anyone, but I think this iteration of Civilization (having played all the previous ones) was a shame: many good concepts (except of course those fictional-circus modes introduced with NFP) but sadly an underwhelming implementation. I like the game, so it's kind of sad, a pity. Incidentally, the two iterations of Civilization I liked the least were the last two (Civ IV is still my favourite and I strongly suspect it will stay that way). Time to try a new title in terms of 4x games, perhaps...

Just did a quick check on Youtube - the pack announcement video was on Nov 9 (Monday), and the Babylon First Look video was on Nov 12 (Thursday), so the Portugal video should be out in 2 days.

That sounds awesome- find a new Civ with your faster than usual caravel, use the charge in their territory, and get a trading post/trader you can build and send there.

Seems like a very fun mechanic

Yes, they said they had implement New mechanics to abstract Portugal abilities, so something similar to what you say.

Good to know. I was confused when @Hellenism Salesman said we would have to wait for a week for the video. No offense meant to you, Salesman, of course.

I am very interested in this.

I’d be annoyed if a zombie popped up in a history programme.

*The History Channel has left the chat*

 

[Rotomagus]

is there an idea when it will drop?

What? The DLC, the Portugal Reveal Video, or the Livestream?

That is first on my wishlist, after which the Portugal Reveal then Livestream are next.

 

[Rotomagus]

the dlc of course...

 

[Duke William of Normandy]

the dlc of course...

Well, given the NFP schedule, I would say the 25th.

And I, for one, welcome my new listening obsession for the next foreseeable future.

 

[ManoftheHour333]

Loved the ancient era theme from the monday video which I'm almost certain was inspired by portuguese Fado music. I'm SO excited for the Industrial theme's orchestration on that! Lol assuming their trade bonuses are really gonna be that good, Portugal will 100% become my main so I've gotta get used to hearing that tune(s)!

 

[Caprikel]

I'm just hoping for a Naval Mali with Portugal, so basically what we should have gotten with the Netherlands.

 

[djvandyke]

What a joke! Zombies, absolutely pathetic way to end the season pass.

I feel ripped off, with this instead of real CIV content.
