Some patch stuff from in-game

Wait, so you can't build a quarry on stone or marble if your city is on a plains tile? Or is it that Stoneworks can't be built in a city on a plains tile?

Thanks Txurce, but:

Either way it seems very arbitrary.

Most things we weren't sure if it replaced... Well it just straight up buffs <.<

Arabia's Bazaar still copies Luxs
Germany and Ottomans maintain the old bonus and get the new ones.
Still going down list.

I haven't built any of them, so I can't say. My strong guess is that you can't build a Stoneworks, not a quarry. And yeah, even that restriction does seem arbitrary.

Another detail - with Representations -33% culture/new city settled modifer enabled, my 2nd city increased next SP culture barrier from 80 to 85 which is quite modest.

Could be huge in non-OCC cultural vic games, depending on how much influence the otherwise nerfed culture modifiers (SPs & Wonders & Broadcast Tower) will have.

Yeah, as already mentioned the HG is 10fpt which is HUGE. When built my 6 pop capitol would get it 7th citizen in... 5 turns after getting the 6th citizen, normal game speed. Now imo a must-have wonder if possible. GL still gives free tech.

To bad that my previous mod saves are useless at this time.

Don't know if this has been mentioned. Playing as Rome and Legions (who costed higher hammers than swordsman before) now cost the same as swordsman. A good buff for Rome.

I loved legions before; now they are monsters. However, the apparent huge buff (fix?) to ranged combat will mitigate this advantage somewhat.


@Agent Cooper: That reduction to the culture cost per city makes sense. Previously one of the ways the devs were hindering expansion was by limiting your SP options; now that happiness is so much harder/later to come by it makes sense to not have other limiting factors.

Is stone considered a strategic resource or a luxury? Does it give a bonus?

Porcelain tower: +1 free great scientist AND 50% better RAs

Oh dear

I think it is a bonus resource but I could be wrong as I can't DL the patch yet.

Stone is not a luxury. It gives a bonus.

I don't have one to develop, but hovering indicates it's a resource - 2f 1h on grassland vs silver (2h 2g on hill).

OMG Ranged units do Full damage (archers at least!)

Pre-patch ranged units were doing 66% of their listed ranged STR (so an unpromoted archer rarely, if ever, did more than 4 damage).

Wow, that will really increase the importance of ranged units. Does this mean that cities will actually fight at 100% of their listed CP as well? THAT would be HUGE!

Excellent. With archers cost as much as warriors, they will be fantastic city defenders. My idea about a Tradition opening with 4 cities in mp mode will have a significant advantage, using 100% extra city ranged strengh bonus(fixed) with an archer in it and maybe a second one behind. Come on here nerfed longswordmen!(and no Steel slingshot from a GP anymore)

Fast expansion followed with extra defence for a good empire set-up to get an extra advantage in the ren era will be the way to go(similar to last patch, but with a bit slower science rate(and pop. rate) and easier to defend).

Too bad i got the patch news 30 min before going to work! Have to wait 6 more hours!

 

[Babri]

Sounds like Legions are going to be OP.

 

[Polycrates]

Babylon is going to be a crazy rush civ

 

[GoodSarmatian]

12 from each barb kill with Aztecs and Honor

You should also mention that Jaguars now start with woodsman.
They were already one of my favourite civs, now with buffed Honor they seem a lillte OP.

I notice a new city state in the game,that is Sydney. this means that they removed some city state in the game,hence it'll have another dlc.
