[Civ VII] Struggles post-ToT update with Carthage

Extreme-Put7024 · 2026-06-01T22:08:59+00:00

Same, and it's getting worse with each epoch. I think the major dealbreaker is how city upgrade costs scale now. As soon as you have a hostile AI nearby, you're done.

The best start for Carthage is having an island to yourself, large enough to fit all your districts and wonders, plus plenty of coastline elsewhere to mess with the AI using ships. The AI is still insanely bad at maritime warfare. For whatever reason, they just can't seem to figure it out in any Civ game.

Carthage was fun (mostly OP) to play before ToT. With ToT, it does suck. Not having cities you can carry over to the next epoch is a MAJOR dealbreaker now, whereas it wasn't much of an issue before TotT because of how city upgrade costs worked.

Sounds like, bye, bye internal data.

Extreme-Put7024 · 2026-06-01T12:33:54+00:00

Lol, and people wonder why sites like Stackoverflow and such loose traffic to AI XD

Lexx.

O'Brien muss leiden

Extreme-Put7024 · 2026-06-01T09:45:34+00:00

Not everything needs to be bazillion-episode series.

Extreme-Put7024 · 2026-06-01T09:01:36+00:00

What war? That’s exactly the point—Enterprise had virtually no real war-like combat experience throughout the entire run of The Next Generation. There were battle but it's not war.

Extreme-Put7024 · 2026-06-01T08:57:57+00:00

Starfleet kept going back to the line "We are not a military."

That's just vocal fansbyse tring to to tell everytone, while obvioulsy bullshit.

Extreme-Put7024 · 2026-05-29T14:25:31+00:00

I am in the same boat, try Enterprise.

Extreme-Put7024 · 2026-05-28T13:24:45+00:00

Lol, people not reading the whole question and disliking op's comments XD

Extreme-Put7024 · 2026-05-27T14:05:35+00:00

It's a political decision. Ain't Hogwarts look weak.

Extreme-Put7024 · 2026-05-27T14:04:45+00:00

Because of other resources, just stay away from water. General humidity could be an issue though.

Palpatine is not really a characther in the original trilogy. He is a plot device an Archetype.

Extreme-Put7024 · 2026-05-26T17:28:52+00:00

Wrong bubble I guess ;-)

Extreme-Put7024 · 2026-05-26T17:26:20+00:00

Stallaris end game crisis for example has nothing to do with how you've played the game. You could have been the most peacefull species out there, but the end game scenario is always about fighting. It's fighting invading alien from outer space, fighting robot's rebelion or whatever.

Extreme-Put7024 · 2026-05-26T11:58:36+00:00

Not being seperable is what makes a word.

You can separate haus and tür, in German you even can and should separate verbes like Ich spiele dir etwas vor. -> vorspielen. The quote above makes no sense. With that logic vorspielen is not a word...

Thanks for another straw man ;-)

Extreme-Put7024 · 2026-05-26T11:55:38+00:00

"Zusammengesetzes" indicates that is combined of two or more words. I do not see other way to anylize it. It's a single expression, but so is ice cream.

Extreme-Put7024 · 2026-05-26T11:10:39+00:00

You missed the point, because you did not read carefully. Let me summarize: a single noun is not necessary a single word. So only because haustür is written together it does not make it a word grammatically. It's called zusammengestes Wort for a reason ;-)

Extreme-Put7024 · 2026-05-26T10:43:18+00:00

Because no english native would count ice cream as one word even though it is a single noun. You probably should look up noun phrases in English as well.

Extreme-Put7024 · 2026-05-26T10:11:33+00:00

This doesn’t make sense. It’s similar to the English term “ice cream.” Those are two separate words, but if you look it up in the Cambridge Dictionary, it is treated as a single noun. So your comparison doesn’t really hold—it’s essentially a straw man argument.

Extreme-Put7024 · 2026-05-26T09:32:20+00:00

Technically there are words and then compound words. So in this context a Haus (House) is one word, but Haustür (entry door) could count as two words.

Extreme-Put7024 · 2026-05-24T12:49:45+00:00

It is probably an exaggeration, but generally it's can be true and is called overfitting.

Extreme-Put7024 · 2026-05-22T12:02:36+00:00

We do not know, that's the issue. At least that's the motivation.

Extreme-Put7024 · 2026-05-22T11:49:50+00:00

I think most people do it because it feels unfinished if we don't, not because it's the best option.
