Next patch anticipation thread

I expect by Terra he means something like in V, where all civs start on one continent, and there is a separate continent to be discovered later, that can be expanded onto.

Yes, this. I was surprised that it didn't come with vanilla. It might fit well thematically with an exploration-flavored Isabella Spain pack.

That sounds cool and makes total sense.

I wonder (see what i did there) if Isabella will have a luck-based Wonder ability again. It made for some really random and fun starts and would fit into the exploration theme. Have we concluded that the fact the wrong Isabella image was on the leaked board was just an intern mistake?

So wait did the plebs--- I mean, did everyone get access to the Aztecs yet or not?

P.S. Is there a way to do strike through text on these forums?

It became available in the afternoon (America time) on the 19th, iirc.

Now we are discussing the upcoming DLC and the overwhelming angst of people who can't seem to stay on topic.

Yes, Aztecs should be unlocked for everyone now.

For strikethroughs, you can use the standard BBCode format:

[s]Text to be struck through[/s] results in Text to be struck through

That being said, I would blithely pay for an Earth map that doesn't suck, unlike the rather pathetic one that came with the last patch.

Eagle, ...>> What is the DLC? Is there something posted on what it may contain?

YnAMP has one that is quite a bit bigger than a Huge map (but you can also play a huge map version if you want to avoid your pc starting to hate you).

There is nothing official (even the DLC itself coming isn't), but we're good at guessing here, so we say the following:

-There's most likely a DLC coming soon (at least within a month, some people say it should be within a week with what we're seeing) because stuff is happening on Steam.
-Isabella of Spain was on the leaked leaders in one of the video's, so she is expected to be in the DLC as she was apparently planned even before launch.
-There's most likely some more stuff coming with the DLC like scenario's or new map types, but this is true guessing, instead of educated guessing.

(sorry for the double post but one or two posts appeared above mine when I posted)

 

[Larsenex]

Thank you very much. Likely to get Isabel and maybe some updates to the game. To be honest, they could charge 20 if it contained the SDK for the game and I would buy it.

 

[Tamir Lenk]

Isabelle with the double wonder bonus in Civ V was like heroin for me. And I'm still binging on the insane synergy of Aztecs.

Insane.

Synergy.

 

[RohirrimElf]

back to the topic of patches.

Any info on the next patch, like when will they release it and what will be in it?

 

[Siptah]

We don't have any news afaik. However, the recent live stream points towards a patch/DLC in the next days - at least for me.

Thanks, I thought there would be some real "suggestion" there

I'm sorry if I was unclear. It's just that they did the live stream suggests to me that we will get something soon. They have been silent for so long and I don't think they would do this without a reason. Maybe it was just to get some visibility without a bigger reason behind it. But I still think they did it to get some visibility right before something will happen, like a patch or new DLC or even the announcement of the first expansion for late 2017. The latter would be a bad idea imho before some more patches are out.

The war drags on ...
CIVILIZATION VI - Thermonuclear War with Devs (Part 2) ... (Part 3) ... (Part 4) ... (Part 5) ...

So at the end of February something might happen.

 

[Eagle Pursuit]

When the December patch was about to come out they were updating QA builds daily. They only did it twice this week, so I would say it is still in the offing.

My guess is February 23rd, one month after they activated the DLC03 depot and began the QA builds again.
