September Update Thread

• Fixed a bug where pillaged districts in a conquered city would cost the full production price to repair. Now they cost 25% as intended.

Thank God. It was such a pain conquering a city and having it cost dozens of turns (Epic) to fix up a district. I was often deterred from pillaging them for that very reason.

OK, well that "lol so random XD" wacky battle royale stuff gets an EXTREEEEME meh from me. I'm not really interested in that mode at all.

But the actual patch tweaks seem pretty good. I'm going to play a Terra map as Carthage or England and rack up those newly buffed admirals later today!

Also:

Diplomacy

• [ALL GAME VERSIONS] Protectorate War no longer triggers a Betrayal Emergency.

thank god

 

[Victoria]

• Reduce the likelihood of most damage effects from Hurricanes by a third.

Well all the coastal buffs did not help so I was hoping for something, I guess I got something anyway... and no reefs on river mouths... yesssss

... But this was the real culprit

Now for the deity continents test

 

[Zyxpsilon]

It is.

Thank you.. that just means the new achievements should be easier to get without having to seek online luck repetitively.

The voice from the Red Death video is artist Steve Ogden.

I wonder if this was a "pilot" for a possible (scrapped?) spinoff game.

I actually cringed. LOOK FELLOW KIDS HOW TOTALLY RADICAL

Firaxis, do you know who is your main demographic?

 

[Zyxpsilon]

Red-Death LIVEStream .. is -- starting now!

"the game camera on the Ski Resort will now shake the snow. Why? Just ‘cuz."

I mean I like that they're trying different things (and have the freedom to experiment). Why not? Not my kind of thing but lots isn't.

Just started a game as Victoria on Continents + Islands map. Should be fun!

 

[WillowBrook]

Well I woke up as I was not feeling well just in time for the livestream

Not sure this livestream will help with feeling good.

Play in hot seat with all but one leader played by the computer. I got all the war machine achievements that way.

 

[Zyxpsilon]

New Achievements...

 

[Weraptor]

I think I like the scenario for the originality and Mad Max vibe. But I am not seeing myself play MP anytime soon....

 

[James_Champagne]

I like they have new maps but I was really, REALLY hoping they would introduce the Black Death/epidemics into the main game.

 

[Deggial]

Was "Advanced Setup" removed from "Create Game"?
Where can I find it now?
I think, I've looked everywhere. They can't have seriously removed this completely, can they? This surely has to be a bug ...

 

[local_hero]

I don't play MP, I don't like post-apocalyptic settings and I don't think I'll play the scenario. I've only played the Poland scenario so far. But I can't say that I'm disappointed they tried something different. I'm both uninterested and curious of what they have created.

 

[RohirrimElf]

I just can’t decide wether to play the new terra, continents + Islands or tilted axis map.

 

[SammyKhalifa]

It does kinda make me want to watch Fury Road again though

In the livestream, they described how one of the guys (whose name I can't recall) put together the basics in his free time, added it to the test version of the game, no one noticed at first, then people found it fun and they added fun graphics and such.
