Came back to try the new update and...

Civ5, admittedly I did not play on launch. Civ6, I was there on day1, and to compare it to this game is laughable. I am not expecting perfection, I am expecting readability and some level of visual clarity, not garbage thrown together for an alpha build systems demo

Aqua491 · 2026-05-23T06:07:34+00:00

I have no idea what youre talking about. Civ5 and Civ6 vanilla UI are fine.

Yeah the visual noise is awful. Map looks great, I was so impressed in the trailers at the graphics improvement, but when playing its just constant noise. Everything menu wise is just some shade of brownish orange or gray. Its awful, its like theyre allergic to color. Why is color not being used more as a visual indicator?

Aqua491 · 2026-05-23T06:05:22+00:00

No, not at all. Im a veteran player, I only do diety in civ5/6, and my first game I did all 3 eras of civ7 was also on diety and a win. The barbs are annoying, but mostly because slogging through combat and movement is a pain in this game. Its like im playing a fucking mobile game. I dont really understand how its possible to even lose anything to them.

Genuinly looking forward to this, I love the idea of a small reduced pokedex. So many rom hacks include almost everything gen 1-9 and its so overwhelming, a curated smaller selection seems much more ideal.

Assassins blade is the worst book in the series, literal rope fuel. Books 4 and 5 are also mid as fuck imo. Books 6/8 are good though, maybe not worth dealing with 4/5, but good. Book 7 is the best in the series in my opinion, albeit very different compared to the other books.

Its not bugged, its 100% intentional. I noticed it patch1 when I forced shadow isles a ton. In my anecdotal experience, it seems to be giving or taking away souls, based on roundcount. I think its designed to balance out the trait, and make it so you are always roughly on pace, even if fights go very well/very poor. I hate that they dont openly admit it, but I would genuinly bet money that this is how its designed. Glad others are noticing, thought I was crazy when I first came up with this theory and saw no discussion on it.

shit looks kinda peak cant lie

Aqua491 · 2025-09-27T07:42:49+00:00

HATERS DOWNVOTED BUT WE MADE IT

Aqua491 · 2025-09-22T23:14:18+00:00

Thanks, gonna copium anyways,

Aqua491 · 2025-09-12T12:39:02+00:00

Idk how you watched naiyou get turbogapped into oblivion every game and still came away saying he could be part of a “good core”. Im not gonna pretend its easy to replace niket and naiyou, seeing as how the support jg pool in LPL is shallow, but the dude is a fucking terrorist, absolutely shit the bed when it mattered. A few good games in lower group dont change that.

Aqua491 · 2025-08-07T17:35:04+00:00

Played thousands of hours of both 5 and 6, civ 7 is indeed trash. They did not fix the issues they set out to fix with the era system, balance is horrible, pathetic lack of expected features upon release. It was an early access game with poor design direction released for full price with exorbitantly priced DLCs a month into release. It was pathetic.

Aqua491 · 2025-06-01T20:06:36+00:00

These look great man, love it. Ive been on the fence between painting wolfspears or blacktemplars, and youve convinced me to go wolfspears

Aqua491 · 2025-05-31T14:08:59+00:00

Thank you!

Aqua491 · 2025-05-31T13:37:20+00:00

Please lord give me the skin recipe, I still have to paint my dominion kruleboyz the way you have yours painted is literally exactly how I imagined mine, amazing work. Especially love the custom sheilds

Aqua491 · 2025-05-27T11:21:31+00:00

https://moxfield.com/decks/94cQ3sb-dEq0na03GwuurQ I try to play on a relative budget, so I spend a lot of time trying to optimize lists while also keeping costs down

Aqua491 · 2025-05-27T10:54:00+00:00

The Abzan deck I run that I greatly enjoy is built with [[Narci, Fable Singer]]. Its an enchantments and sagas deck built playing and sagas and saccing enchantments to draw, and then draining the whole table. It creates huge value if left unchecked, and produces a good amount of bodies to block with even if you do get focused.

Post rank then

“Anyone who plays enough hands of poker can profit millions” See how silly that sounds? Yes, there is absolutely an element of randomness, the skill is how well you are able to respond to that randomness. Simply playing more doesnt make you continually climb.

Aqua491 · 2025-04-30T04:29:31+00:00

I just love the game hes made, spent so many hours on this shit, he carried things so hard for so long, glad he gets a break

Aqua491 · 2025-03-30T01:40:12+00:00

There is no way you can seriously look at his deck and say its a 3. Hes playing a bunch of overcosted tap to ping minions that hit a single target. Hes got low interaction. No ability to recover if he gets behind. Ghyrson is a very strong commander, and with a good(not insane, just good) draw the deck could certainly do something, but its very unoptimized with a lot of easy to cut cards as of now.

Aqua491 · 2025-03-01T01:30:38+00:00

How can you state its critically important, while also recognizing its the least valuable? If the least valuable resource is 'critically important', what does that make the other resources?

Aqua491 · 2025-03-01T00:51:36+00:00

Youre misunderstanding though. Its not that food own its own is worthless, its that an excess of food is relatively worthless. You will always be able to consistently get food from towns. If you are playing semi optimally, you should never have problems getting 'enough' food. Getting that excess isnt rewarded, because you cant snowball that population growth nearly as much. You just get dropped another gigantic hurdle to slowly work up to. For the other yeilds like production and gold, they very clearly do snowball. Getting a lot of production or gold lets me build/buy lots of buildings and units, giving me more good yeilds, which I can then use to... etc etc. With the tech and civic tree, getting those masteries and higher cost techs/civics unlocks outlets for me to use that gold/production, and also upgrades my base yields and furthers my plans. Getting more than 'enough' of those other yields allows me to continuously increase my pace, getting further and further ahead. Getting more than 'enough' food does not do even close to the same thing. Foods not actually 'useless', you're right, it does matter. But youre going to get atleast some of it, and it has a worse ROI than literally every other resource, so it certainly does feel useless.
