New Version - August 2nd (8/2)

[Degenx2]

Not sure if this is the right place for this question, but oh well.

I've noticed on the tech tree that a whole bunch of techs have 5 unlocks/effects listed, which is the max allowed by the UI.

Do any of those techs have a 6th one that's not showing? A few times I've come across an effect or a building that I don't remember unlocking, but I'm not sure whether that's cause it's not shown on the tech or if I'm just an idiot, haha.

It's just you, I don't have that issue. I think you're missing some art assets. Hover over them to find which one you're missing?

I just played a game yesterday with the 7-30 version, I don't know how any assets would have disappeared overnight. Regardless, I'm verifying the game cache right now.

 

[SLGray]

Did you delete the old version and install the new version 8-2?

 

[Aristos]

Eh, I'm fairly certain it makes all Canadians a lot happier when they realize that Bieber is touring in America and not in Canada.

G

It would make us even happier if you keep him.

By the way, can you take that other Justin too?

 

[joosegoose25]

Did you delete the old version and install the new version 8-2?

Yes. And (lucky me), verifying the integrity of the game cache appears to have caused a steam-side error and I can't launch the game at all to do any more troubleshooting...or play. About to undergo my first ever run in with Steam Support, wish me luck guys.

 

[SLGray]

Did you delete cache folder, too?

 

[joosegoose25]

Did you delete cache folder, too?

Yep, mentioned that a few posts ago. I did everything the same as I always do, and I'm scared to think of how many versions I've installed in the past.

At this point it's looking like I'll have to do a complete reinstall of Civ 5 for steam reasons, so we'll see soon enough if that fixes things somehow.

??? Those of us who like Pop Music ... actually like Pop Music, and are happier to be listening to it. I don't know why men (and its almost always men) who prefer other genres act like we are pretending to fit in or 'just haven't heard' your beloved genre. No. We've tried your classic rock or your metal or your old school hip hop and found it just as lacking as you find Beyonce or Kanye or Taylor. Only difference is we are nowhere near as needlessly smug about it.

Are you advocating for Justin Bieber to be in the game as a Great Musician?

Why not? Dude's not 100% my thing, but he has literally millions of fans he's emotionally impacted, and does in fact go on Concert Tours all over the world. Who even are the late game GMs anyway? Classical artists no one has heard of I imagine?

Why can't a joke just be a joke. I thought it was funny and relevant to the question asked.

You'd be surprised how often I hear the 'joke' 'that music you like is also liked by girls therefore it sucks.' I mean its not the end of the world, and G wasn't saying it 100% like that, but it gets tiring nonetheless.

Why not, hyperbole about emotionally impacted fans and ignorance about who late-game GMs are, and assumptions about who Gazebo and gamewizard listen to, aside?

Because he's a joke.

 

[pandasnail]

Not hyperbole at all, he literally has millions of fans who passionately love his work. Just because you aren't one doesn't mean they don't exist.

and ignorance about who late-game GMs are,

Not sure what the fact that I play Marathon speed and almost never make it to the end of the game has to do with anything. If I'm wrong and its pop stars feel free to correct me, but I doubt it is.

and assumptions about who Gazebo and gamewizard listen to, aside?

I never made any such assumptions. In fact, I intentionally picked three disparate genres in any attempt to be all-encompassing. If you feel I failed in communicating that, fine, but I assumed nothing.

Because he's a joke.

No, he's a musician with music you personally don't like. That's it.


Anyway, last time I got politicalish on here, it was for issue I thought worthwhile. Defending an artist who has a few good songs and a few bad songs is ... not really. So I'm prob done responding now.

Was joke. I don't care who or what people listen to. If the Beeb is your jam, then jam on. As long as it isn't country music I'm a-ok with anything.

Great work!

An observation on research speed: the tech acquisition is so slow early game I often run out of things to produce, both in my capital and in satellites! I have to turn agriculture (production to food) on or spam warriors for city-state influence. On epic, mind you.

I think it dates from the epic/marathon tech acquisition tuning from a few months ago.

Not a huge deal, but still.

 

[SLGray]

Is it just me, or has this new version removed trading posts?

I can not found any references to them in the game. Also since they have been removed, one of the resources (feathers) from Exploration Continued Expanded has been removed.

 

[wobuffet]

You mean Villages?

 

[SLGray]

No. I mean trading posts.

Before this version, they were in the game.

Has anyone engaged in naval combat with the AI in this version or the previous one? I'm still on the 7/15, because for some weird reason I'm actually finishing out a Domination Victory for once. In that version, even tho I'm playing a civ with a land military UA (Songhai), a decent chunk of my success has come from overwhelming naval wins where the AI leaves its boats in strange places. And I'm curious if the change to naval movement (and AI enhancements in general) have changed that.

Hi, just wanted to give feedback on the AI expansion. I know it's just one game, but it's turn 100 in my new game and none of the 4 known AIs (Monty, Attila, Casimir and Nebby) has more than 3 cities, though there is lots of free space left. It's really different from the previous versions. It gives me the feeling that the game is easier now.

 

[SLGray]

So far the only issue I have encountered is no trading posts.
