[R&F] Small things you have noticed on playing

[JacquesBquick]

Oh. Well that's pretty disappointing. Didn't really everyone was straight (et tu, Alexander?). For such a forward-looking game (plentiful female leaders, most of whom are depicted respectfully and not as sex objects, abundance of female GPs), it would be disappointing if everyone was automatically straight. Even if they introduced a 5% chance that a leader with flirtatious agenda turned out to be gay, I would be happy.

this is also disappointing to me if it turns out to be true. especially given evidence of particular leaders' straying from the straight and narrow path...it seems like an unnecessary subtraction by addition. we didn't really need these new agendas, and all they do is exclude rather than include.

Of course, the inevitable uproar when "WTH TEDDY ROOSEVELT IS GAY FOR POUNDMAKER, SJWS RUIN EVERYTHING"
...i don't know if my heart could handle that.

Question: Is anyone else's governors button next to the other trees on the upper-left corner blank/blacked out? It feels like there should be an icon of some sort, given that the rest of the buttons near it do. A small quirk, but I guess that is to be expected on roll-out day.

I think that's why I only visit the Civ Fanatics forum

I think this may have been the case for a while - I've had games when I haven't triggered this before getting Foreign Trade even though I've explored a large area (I can't recall if I checked the continents overlay). It evidently works at least intermittently, as I got the inspiration in my current game.

You can get a fair amount of gold quite early with Reyna and a golden age

I think it has something to do with being able to see tiles of two different continents from your initial spawn point. The game fails to recognise that you've "discovered" another continent unless you happen to get lucky and find a third one nearby.

 

[Athmos]

Well, it worked until now.

 

[PhilBowles]

Well, it worked until now.

As I noted, it (apparently) didn't consistently work for me before now, and it did work for me on my current session, so it doesn't seem to be an issue introduced by this patch or the expansion, just an older one that wasn't fixed and that - because it seems to work intermittently - may not have registered previously.

Until someone pointed it out on this thread, for instance, it didn't occur to me to think "hmm, seems as though I've had that pre-R&F".

Playing on Prince as the Mongols, I have met only 4 other AIs. (Sumeria, Aztecs, Georgia and England)

I am now in the medieval age and I have alliances with 3 of them and friendship with Georgia.

It’s one big happy love fest as there have been no wars between any of us. Even the City States in our area of the Pangea are still in existence. Lol.

So, it does seem possible to play peacefully. It’s Prince, mind you, but it is encouraging.

yes i agree it is posible to play peacefully i play scotland all standard, who i have met i have friendhsip dclaration with some faith agression untill now. , in general i am loving it wowo

Saw Russia AI build warrior monks but they never left the city or holy site they spawned from.

One streamer had a start point of four continents together. Foreign Trade failed to get boosted so he must need to find a fifth.

I'm gonna give this a shot

This has got to be worth doing

And this is such an awesome wonder

This happened to me in the base game. If you start seeing two continents, you don't get the inspiration, but if you discover the second continent on turn one, you do. I'd run into the problem with the Sumer TSL on YnAmp. Also had problems with the Dead Sea inspiration, but I don't know what caused that.

That wouldn't necessarily be a bug, if (a) they worded it "Discover a new continent" instead of "second continent", and (b) you actually do get the inspiration when you find a third continent. Game play wise I could see some merit to setting the inspiration up this way. If that was their intent, though, they should word it properly.

They fixed edge scrolling, it seems. Now it works exactly as it is supposed to.

Yes, it works great now! Thanks for pointing this out. I wish they mentioned stuff like this in the patch notes.

The biggest thing i noticed while playing as Korea is that i heard more from shaka`s soundtrack then my own nation (which is beautifull by the way).
It is like the game taunted me. Remembering Shaka is my neighour and i should fear him at all time. Lucky for me there is a mountain choke and i`ve got it covered.

This was already a feature in the base game, the game slides the songs of the player on top of the scoreboard into your playlist. It is a neat way to remind you who is winning at the time in my TSL Deity games I keep hearing Kongo's theme as that AI is a monster when it starts isolated (hope Shaka chokes that creep out for me in future games ).

Reyna District Purchases at a time when chopping a tree gives 119 prod
Considering I am earning 500 GPT its not a lot

This has allowed me to settle in a foreign continent surrounded by Americans
Amenity cards, +2 governor card, +2 garrison card, +4 for the RNDY and chopped in 4 pop

Also Magnius is just stupidly good, I chopped in the forbidden palace in 4 chops
My game has gone normal - golden - normal - golden - golden without even bothering to try to either push or hold back.

I'm so jealous of everyone here who is playing already while I'm working like a sucker. Thanks for posting and keeping me entertained throughout the day!

I'm at work, but in my head I'm planning out the next few turns in the game I only got to put a few hours in last night.
