Q&A with Dennis Shirk

[damnyankees]

flip to your side? does that mean change ideology or actually change empires?

I don't know how you could have a city flip its ideology but remain in its own empire, unless ideologies worked liked religions.

The exchange between Kate and Dennis is extremely awkward and uncomfortable.

North African block in the Scramble for Africa scenario.
Moorish civ chances might have gone up a notch.

 

[turingmachine]

Kate needs to stop talking about her civ being unhappy.

scramble for Africa: different victory conditions for European, north African and African civs

Great Musician goes on a concert tour to add tourism directly over another civ. Great Writer has an 'internal culture bomb'... not quite sure how that works.

 

[blackcatatonic]

Great Musicians can do 'concert tours'! Brilliant.

This teaser is going to be different than the last one.

Beatlemania sweeps Assyria!

 

[Snoopaloop]

Great musicians: unique ability: concert tours - goes into enemy territory and somehow increases your tourism.

Great writer: unique ability - internal culture bomb...lump of free culture


EDIT: i'm a slow typer ..also this delay is awkward.

France UA change...missed what it does though

I interpreted it as a bit like the Civ 4 'great work' where you get a huge lump sum of culture.

I'm feeling certain it's going to be another one of Shaka though.

THe Great Writers' thing is called Political Treatise.

 

[Chysp]

France UA changed. Didn't exactly catch all the details, something to do with doubling the benefit of great work theming bonuses.

 

[Arkangelus]

Ah so the 'lump of culture' will add something like +1000 towards policies.

Napoleon has new ability: City of Light, theming bonuses doubled in capital. (seems pretty weak)

I suspect so as well.

 

[Nujabes]

Not very many new techs, but we do get internet and a few things he did not feel the need to mention.

 

[Dragonflow]

French UA updated!
City of Light: Themening bonuses for great works of arts are double effective.

What is "theming"?
