Too much jungle?

Jungle Vikings?

Sounds like the best band name ever.

Holy friggin crapnuggets. I would simultaneously love and hate that start. Mostly hate with Denmark.


Edit: Flying Mathias: 1) You are completely correct, that band name would be awesome. 2) I'm going to have to ask you to leave the internet forever as your choice of the same icon as mine has proved quite confusing over the course of the past few weeks. I'm sorry, it's just the way it has to be.

Hey, it's very easy to tell us apart! You have a (very unnoticable) R and two tildes!

Eh at first when I seen Flying Mathias I thought you were Raiki but I can tell you two apart.

Yeah, there's a reason I sign my posts like that. And a reason why the frequency of my doing so has increased since a certain someone joined the forums.

(But no, seriously, welcome to the forums. Hope you enjoy yourself.)

Thanks. I've been lurking around here for about a year, and then eventually decided to join.

I used to almost never get jungles, but now I tend to get them more often, but still quite rarely, unless I'm playing as India or the Maya or something.

 

[Raiki]

Yeah, to be a bit more OT, I've also (In the 1.5 games I've actually managed to play since Tuesday ) noticed an increase in Jungle tiles.

The depth of our little informal study may leave something to be desired, but the breadth of it is becoming quite impressive.

I played an Amazon game as the Dutch recently so I could spam polders, get tons of Maritime CS food, and win a science victory. I succeeded, but I noticed that i took THIRTEEN turns on Standard speed for a worker to build a trading post on a regular jungle tile. What gives?

Le-gen-da-ry.


@topic
So we didn't see much jungle in vanilla but AI spammed large number of cities.
Did the numbers changed positions?

I've played 2 games so far and have noticed more jungle tiles. It certainly helps the AI out, especially when using melee units where they give them the rough terrain promotions.

I've tried the new shuffle map generator and in the mess of things, there were a lot of jungles.

BUT, i had been playing as Siam, so the Wat science bonus made settling around jungles imperative.

...your opinion, basically, is situational.

I've only played one game of G&K, a hot seat match at a buddy's house, and the luck of the draw was a continent map with him as the Aztec and me as the Maya. We were on the same continent and it was all jungle between us. (Inca and Rome also on continent). We could see the other continent was doing poorly scorewise, so we surmised the AI was stuck in a jungle too. When I made my way over there - nothing but jungle! That continent had the Celts, Chinese, Byzantine, and Netherlands. It choked the life out of them.

Being completely surrounded by jungle is a re-roll for me (and I don't do those often). This last King game with Ethiopia, though, I delayed founding until Turn 2 to move to a great little riverside hill next to a mountain. The river ran North through 6 tiles of jungle and south into some plains / grasslands full of Salt. It was ridiculous. I took Sacred Paths as a Pantheon believe and went cultural. I pretty much bee-lined as best I could afford to get to Guilds and Education to get all those 2 Food, 2 Gold, 2 Science, 1 Culture tiles up and running ASAP.

Quite frankly, im sick of the jungle tiles. It is everywhere on every map i play. Jungle tiles may be good for science but they are unproductive tiles that cant be useful for a while into the game. You need education, guilds, and rationalism opener to make them worth working and that is too far into the game to have your starting position filled with 4 of them in your 6. This is almost game breaking for me and I can imagine many other people feel the same way. If I am not starting in Jungle it is desert with 3-4 flood plains or I am in Tundra with 1-2 deer tiles. This was unusual before G&K but now unusual is to start in a productive area with economical potential, unless i play Caribbean or Mediterranean.

 

[Liex]

I really hope they change this. One of the few things I'm not liking in G&K are the maps. I never got a nice start location anymore because of these excessive and annoying jungles.

 

[Zenstrive]

Yes, I noticed, too much jungle. Especially if your neighbours are Netherlands, Celts, and Mayans
