Observations from Potato’s video.

[The_goggles_do_nothing]

Rome had a commander but potato had super defensive terrain and lots of combat bonuses from city states and war support.

I'm not making any pronouncement on the AI, but a decent player would not attack over super defensive terrain without a a combat advantage.

I'm really starting to detest that Founder Content Pack palace skin. It's in every stupid video, and never matches any of the antiquities civs that it's applied to.

To be fair to Rome, potato’s city was unguarded and he barely managed to get troops there in time to set up defenses.

I’m turning that skin off as soon as I get into the game.

I find it amusing that the Commanders, which were supposedly added to reduce micromanagement, have added a TON of new micromanagement due to the way you can cheese units in and out of groupings while in combat.

I have a great fear is that there will be no way to deactivate this stuff. Not one of the streamers I've seen has it deactivated.

I promise you it’s removable.

It just looks so goofy. I was really weirded out when I first saw it. I don’t want to ever use it.

That would be a tragedy, considering how many visually unique and attractive palaces there are.

My guess it’s just gonna be like Scout Cat for Civ 6: a separate piece of content listed as DLC that you can toggle under the Additional Content tab.

I think it's an attractive art asset, but my problem with it is that it overwrites the civ-specific art.

I guess in and of itself it’s not offensive. But it doesn’t match any other palaces in style or scale; it takes up so much space. The whole city center hex looks awkward and empty.

Yeah, it has tiny little houses around the perimeter that are out of scale with everything else.

Oh dear... Potato went into the Civilopedia.


Phalanx and Quadrireme are the names I was looking for.

 

[sonicmyst]

I do not watch most videos but is there no cooldown when a commander merges in their troops?

 

[Riker13]

Quill18 has 6 videos totaling 1 hour and 45 minutes.

Yes but only one hour of gameplay which was the Firaxis embargo.

I loved micro management on the battle in Civ 5, 6. The problem was maneuver before the battle. Commander solved it with its packing and summoning feature.

...does the Civilopedia only show you what's available in your age? Or is that already filtered by age somehow?

 

[Wabnosa]

Michi sibi looks better than I expected.

It looks like it's filtered by age in this clip.

edit: It occurs to me that the entire Civilopedia may only contain items from the current Age, since the three Ages are effectively different mods. There's a significant loading screen during Age transition.
