New Gameplays (ONE THREAD)

Definitely recommend the Polygon video...just straight gameplay, no cringeworthy commentary.

This one's even better: 2 straight hours of gameplay, no interruptions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HM-2A7D_u0k

From video above:

Banking: unlocks building: Great Zimbabwe
interesting but weird, since the giant walls of zimbabwe are ancient and have nothing to do with banking.

also edge of the world is a astronomical map, so we are playing on an alternative flat earth....

There may not be cringeworthy commentary but there is mortifying gameplay.

Parking a builder outside his borders to sleep for many turns with plenty to work needing to be done.

Building a settler, sending it un-escorted past a pretty damn good city site, running into a Barb horseman and then seemingly trying to attack the horseman with the settler. Then finally trying to flee. Could have settled instead but got rundown by the Barb. No attempt to recapture it either, unless that happens later.


Still, video shows lots of gameplay and I do appreciate the reviewer posting it, and sorry for being a critic, they just seemed so egregious.

Warning, this one is painful to see cause the player doesn't seem to have any idea what (s)he is doing and doesn't seem to be familiar with any of the former civilization games either. Pausing his builder outside his borders for several turns or trying to attack a barbarian with his settler and researching sailing while not even having a city close to water at all or even researching the tech that would take the longest to research. I gave up after 20 or so minutes cause it was annoying me to much and I didn't learn anything new from it either (except what not to do in the early game, which I already knew).

3:57 - Toronto is a city state!? Fun.

Not necessarily

It could be that they haven't designed any Civ leader animations yet

I confess I haven't watched it yet, I only skimmed through some bits here and there to confirm it had no commentary or interruptions. Guess I won't be watching it after all.

I forgot about the Sailing research. That was good too. They have the first 15 minutes up on youtube now with commentary, he said he started figuring it out.

This thread should be pinned.
There is more information in these videos than in the articles in the pinned threads.

Has anyone seen a video where there would be more ZOOMING on the map?
Everyone just keeps the standard view, I'd love to see zooms on the cities and units and natural wonders etc.

 

[LDiCesare]

I'd love to see one which zooms out actually. Some talked about strategic view but it's hard to find.

I think quill18 in his 4th video shows strategic. He really liked it and said he never used it in 5.

 

[LDiCesare]

Yes he says this but I haven't actually seen him show it

 

[Acken]

Pretty sure it's in the 4th video. It looks way better than civ5's

Edit : around 2:30

Spoiler :

 

[thecrazyscot]

Ooh...that looks quite nice! I may actually use it this time around.

Drew from BAStart gaming is a fun guy to watch but he must have misstated about 5 things in his first 40 minutes.

I was disappointed he wasn't allowed to go into Apostles. I thought this week we were meant to learn about religion????

 

[rastak]

nevermind!

Don't watch this one, its painful. I got through 38mins before i couldn't take it anymore. My 5 year old sister did a far better job playing Civ 5 for the first time. Each decision made feels like a random die roll.

Noticed when America DoW they sent 2 warriors who just moved around the players city doing nothing at all not even pillaging. And earlier a barb in an encampment who had had only 30% of life suicided against player making for an easy encampment takeover. Not great signs tbh. ( this is the first video I've seen since 2K's stream )

America stated friendly terms the turn before he DoW

Holy cow, that's beautiful! A million times better then Civ V!

Based on watching the Quill video series, if you are going to attack a rival, send a trade route that way first so you have a decent road to get there. The terrain can really gum up the logistics of moving your units around.

Oh, definitely. First thing I thought of when I heard about the trader-road dynamic.
