[NFP] Portugal (March 2021) - Patch Notes Discussion

[Duke William of Normandy]

Enigma, @pokiehl. We need an Enigma Machine.

Wonder what this means:

I'm guessing the AI won't prioritize techs that unlock new units if they have the maximum amount of units their programming permits them.

 

[Cerilis]

Please anyone confirm if the AI now improves resources properly again.^^

 

[Luxerne]

Portugal has Goa and Diu, two of their Indian possessions, on their city list. No Macau, though.

That'll make things fun for @bite

Monopoly tourism fix, nerf to hero tourism - very necessary

cultists being used better by ai is a nice surprise!
Nothing crazy but seems decent in general. Hopefully next patch they fix the lack of improvements the ai builds!

 

[TreVor_ish]

Do I not see Make This Deal More Equitable ?? Seriously?? How many more months??? (Or I'm just blind/need to play a game to check)

 

[leandrombraz]

I'll still disable cultural victories in my next game with corporations on, into I'm sure it's working properly.

Also, Tourism from Heroic Relics has been nerfed.

And it still quite strong, which shows just how OP it was.

If you meet João III near his territory, he invites you over to have olive oil, codfish, grilled sardines, and castella, and also to come enjoy the fado with him.
His delegation brings you spices from the Indies, silks from China, gold from Africa, and a little bacalao from home.
If he rejects your delegation, he says it's because Portugal's own markets are currently over-saturated.

I wonder if Vampires treat zombies as normal units or barbs...

Also loyalty reduction was nerfed a few patches back (city has to have negative loyalty per turn to revolt, not just hit zero), which means AI will still suck with Cultists.

There is a mod that helps them to improve resources, but I've still never seen them build a corporation, can anyone confirm that they have ever seen the AI build a corporation ?

He just doesn't want to get Mansa Musa'd, he wants to Mansa Musa you, though.

 

[UWHabs]

Nice to see the monopoly tourism fixed. Joao+Monopolies game incoming tonight...

 

[hhhhhh]

Wonder what this means:

My guess is, if AI doesn't have many niter then it won't put a lot of value on bombards?

 

[Starina]

Corporations fix. Yessssss.

Hurrah! it's time to launch corporation mod for the first time !!!

So which tech/civic unlocks the Etemenanki?

Was really hoping for vinho verde or port wine. I am unreasonably upset at their exclusion.

Writing. Not sure what this means for getting it on higher difficulties though.

Still no map search function on the PS4 but I've kind of given up that ever happening at this point.

Kind of disappointed that the Navigation School is unlocked with Education and not Naval Tradition. I don't think Portugal is going to want to be competitive in the Great Scientist race in the early game which could mean that you might have to hard tech the thing that unlocks your unique building, which is kind of weird.

Understandable. Have a great day.

I think I heard Sean say Zholao
