September Update Thread

[Zaire the Magnificent]

i have base game civ 6 gold/deluxe edition & gathering storm, shut down game entirely logged back in-updates- there's nothing new.

edit: Oh you mean the "September 2019 update" isn't out yet??? Why do they release a video about it without the content along with? /facepalm

@Zaire the Magnificent
They always do such marketing preview/stunt(s) on every cyclic releases (updates + patches + DLC + expansions).. it makes a whole lot of sense to stay in regular touch with their fan-base & specifically, potential new buyers.

Where is this new update? It's the same old game when i open it up, nothing new?????????

Just for a second, I though the update was finally out!

Great are we importing posters from Reddit now?

And I guess I can assume this is an insult. And a joke is a bigger offense than abandoning civility.

a joke is a bigger offense than abandoning civility.

In England it is being civil to joke, necessary to get on.
Confused by SJW AI... as in AI optimised for social justice? Seems like you were making a joke yourself?

When they introduced emergencies I said it was the most negative thing introduced, natural disasters exacerbated this. But we are stuck with it.

 

[Red_warning]

Been so busy with other games, and now this! Ack!

I guess the patch will come this week? It usually goes fast after they release info

 

[Disgustipated]

Hopefully soon. The game I had been playing was hit by DDOS attacks over the weekend, would have been nice to start up a civ6 game. Reluctant to do it until the patch drops. I certainly hope Civ7 doesn't go "online" as in live gaming in some way. Granted, civ is a small franchise and unlikely to be hit by ddos attacks, but I expect 10 years from now the attacks will become so rampant to make the internet very cumbersome to use.

Did you play wow classic?

That was the joke, yes. Im not sure what was the motivation of the response, though. As it was referred to me and not to what i said. That was not granted at all. Humor, even dark humor is not contended with respect.

Anyway, Regarding the actitude of the AI... It is actually coherent with itself in most cases. It is just very naïve towards, emergencies, grievances, and war. It lacks self interest, and when representing very charismatic and militaristic leaders feels weird.

This may be a design decission. But the fact that they are always altruistic when judging offenses comited to other civs, or overcommit to helping any civ in need. Regardless the deals they may have or how much they like or dislike the civs in question, is what breaks the ilusion for me.

That’s your view, I suspect it is cultural. Humour in England can gain you a lot of respect but appreciate it is tricky to use globally and in written form. Regardless, at most he was being flippant. Not my fight so step out.

WRT the AI, it is not as such, it is a bunch of decision paths that already has shown time and again it is too simplistic.
If a civ has denounced you they will not deal so nicely with you and their ability to accept embassies or friend requests depends on how much they like you so you appear to be making a generalisation.
Yes things are not perfect but they have tried.

 

[steveg700]

What culture does not respect humor? That's a people begging for a pranking.

One thing I get a kick out of that in a Military Aid emergency, the civ's who are crushing them get to participate in the emergency.

"Hey, I just pillaged your commercial hub and neighborhood. Here, have a few bucks."

So, should we expect another update vlog today?

 

[Hawke9]

So, how likely is it to expect a first look for Venice tomorrow?

 

[Buni0ns]

Unlikely I'd say. I don't think they will drop info on a new expac just yet, and I highly doubt they are going to include additional civs as free-LC.

 

[Duuk]

So, how likely is it to expect a first look for Venice tomorrow?

Not at all likely.

So, how likely is it to expect a first look for Venice tomorrow?

Not impossible, but very far along a curve approaching infinite unlikelihood.

I'm sure we will see Venice eventually, as an Italian city.

 

[Cerilis]

Btw, random question, did the prophet assemblingTyphoon also prophesy features of the alleged third expansion or only civs?

 

[Eagle Pursuit]

I'm still vacillating about whether the mask is intended to tease Venice or Carnival (Feb 25th, 2020).

Hmm, you mean that day as a release date? Didn't think about that...

If it's a civ you want to see, don't hope for it too much. Those DLC civ's seem to miss out on balance passes (Khmer, I'm looking in your direction).
