Wow seems like a nice update lots of things that have been heavily discussed here seems to be addressed (or tried to) !

 

[WillowBrook]

City states will get bonus to walls, more initial strength

Cap on experience fighting free cities

Polders can be placed next to hills

A few other things, but those are what stood out to me. I will hold off play on my Netherlands game now.

I'm curious to see what are the other fixes that will be implemented that were not mentionned in the video. But I'm super glad to see that CS's won't be beat in the first 15-20 turns of the game.

Great news!! Looks like Firaxis has been hard at work to give us a big update. I am particularly pleased to hear about warmonger loopholes being addressed.

Really happy to see the Polder change.

 

[SammyKhalifa]

Really happy to see the Polder change.

IMO this makes Netherlands way WAY powerful. polder with three adjacent polders is like one of the most powerful tiles in the game.

Hah...I'll still build them to see the stadiums light up! The swimming pool equivalent never seems to

Really happy they are adressing the CS problem...

Wonder when the patch will be coming in

Would this explain the fact that I'm getting "2k server down" and when I load any game (new or saved) that my UI seems screwed up? (Tech/Civic progress not showing in corner 'world status' thingy, forgot the actual term)

Yeah, they definitely seem extremely powerful now. Their river adjacency bonus for districts is insane, but it was made up with a near-useless UI. Now that the UI is good, they should probably tune down the river-district adjacency bonus a tad to compensate.

I think it's going to end up being too much. I understand why but an already good civ is being made better.

Looks good! Really hopeful for the future of Civ 6. The only problem I have with the loyalty system so far is it makes it really tough to capture a city on your borders if you don't have high pop cities around it. Hopefully they'll tweak the system to add more policy cards or other options for that kind of situation. It should be tough but I also think having military units in/around the city should suppress loyalty pressure.

A few other things, but those are what stood out to me. I will hold off play on my Netherlands game now.

I had just started a game as them, seems like I'll delay it too. Glad though since means a lot more polders

I think it's going to end up being too much.

Could be, they're in a weird spot now though since you want many adjacent ones but it's so difficult to find good spots.

 

[Disgustipated]

I smell another Netherlands game coming on. I've already played them twice. I love covering the sea and lakes in fisheries and polders.

I'm already addicted to putting fisheries everywhere if anyone seen my screenshot in the addiction thread.

- Balance changes: polders can be placd next to hills

I'm so excited for this! I always had trouble in my Netherlands games. It was like they didn't even have a UI.

Yeah, I had that too.

Agreed. When I played them I was annoyed at how few I could build; but then how much yields they gave me gave reason to the limitations. Something will have to give...

Good, CS's will not fall so easily and emergencies can't be so easily abused.
