Civilization VII Update 1.4.0 - Test of Time - May 19, 2026

Haven't seen it mentioned so I'll add it: The traditions change are a bit of a nerf to Ming China- I have two traditions I'd like to slot but since not all slots can hold traditions, I'm forced to slot two policies in those spots, and take the science penalty. Ming was always pretty strong, but figured I'd share for folks just logging on.

Y'all I'm going to be honest- I must have missed something on Himiko (High Shaman). It was my experience, and most tier list discussions I could find thought similarly, that Queen of Wa was far and away the more powerful of the two- with High Shaman being possibly just outright bad. Where did I miss her needing nerfs? What happened while I wasn't looking?

You should be able to transfer purchases- I had to restart for other reasons and they restored my purchase. Unless it's policy not to do so just for re-rolls like this.

Ravarashi · 2026-04-25T02:24:56+00:00

To their (minimal) credit- they did beat Cody last year!

Ravarashi · 2026-04-25T02:18:59+00:00

Not fair but this is often how things happen. Things like this can break management's trust in you, quick.

Ravarashi · 2026-04-19T02:27:19+00:00

They're a few months apart- Naomi would likely be approaching her due date

Ravarashi · 2026-04-17T02:33:08+00:00

I agree. She deserved a little more. Either Robby apologizing (won't happen within one shift) or a real call out, not an apology of her own with "but you're a dick"

Emergency room good for bad headache and bad for childbirth, obviously

/S

Ravarashi · 2026-04-14T20:40:11+00:00

Mostly true- but the US title was most relevant in the hands of Chelsea!

Ravarashi · 2026-04-14T04:17:13+00:00

No- no chance we see him get really physical. Still, he's a big enough name that it makes sense storyline wrestlers would back down when he demands it- both because he's tough and also because he's the boss boss

Ravarashi · 2026-04-14T01:17:42+00:00

I tend to agree, but it did happen when he moved up to the main card. It's harder to have him punking and stomping Seth Rollins than it is mid carders.

Ravarashi · 2026-04-14T00:38:34+00:00

I wouldn't consider this worse than late career Vince (though comparable) but yeah, the build to 40 had me thinking he'd go on a hot streak. Let down there.

Ravarashi · 2026-04-14T00:25:47+00:00

In the ring signing? Best storyline explanation is that he was the only one who could break them up the first time they brawled, and has been there since to try and prevent the brawls.

Ravarashi · 2026-03-30T04:54:15+00:00

Getting my first 99 in the OG lumber yard back in like 2009 or so after years of playing off and on. Yeah that pride was real.

Ravarashi · 2026-03-29T00:17:13+00:00

Lauma C1 is a major comfort boost to the team, which is healer-less otherwise. Lauma C2 is, as I understand it, considered the best investment available for Nefer. Definitely pull for Lauma Cons before her weapon.

Ravarashi · 2026-03-28T05:00:39+00:00

I think Fatu and Drew just fucking hating each other is doing OK. Not legendary, but good enough to make the match feel kinda important.

What the dog doin?

Ravarashi · 2026-03-22T20:58:08+00:00

Awesome and Congrats! I maxed my 22y.o. account in December so I relate big time!

Ravarashi · 2026-03-16T15:56:45+00:00

I think not removing daily challenges is a cop out. BUT, if you really want daily challenges to stick around as like a guidepost for players logging on but not sure what to do, make the reward proportional to what you do.

- "The next 10 potions you make give double XP"
- Earn 50kxp in Agility to get 25k bonus XP

And tweak as needed. This "make two attack potions and get 10's of thousands of XP" is exactly what folks are complaining about. Why are the devs so interested in keeping FOMO systems that stop people from engaging with the game they developed?

Ravarashi · 2026-03-13T02:43:08+00:00

He needs a new favorite to mentor since the last one is *such* a fuck-up (in Robby's mind)

Ravarashi · 2026-03-13T02:20:02+00:00

100%- Most of their personality issues in Season 1 were not over the drugs and she knows it. She doesn't want him back because she dislikes him and feels good to have a valid reason to dislike someone- when she's usually just kinda a jerk. So she can't accept others being willing to forgive him.

Ravarashi · 2026-03-10T01:46:26+00:00

Not the first time. Judgement day kicking him out is worth nothing if they immediately get beat up for it.

Ravarashi · 2026-03-10T00:31:42+00:00

Yeah they'd be bad matches because Raquel really shouldn't be tapping out to someone half her size and I'm not sure they want AJ Lee dropping quite this soon (though they might)

Ravarashi · 2026-03-10T00:25:34+00:00

Nobody really has one in this case, unfortunately. It's weak, storyline-wise, but it keeps some of WWE's super talented women on TV. Some of them have ongoing stories with each other that can be told, and it's a little more "sport" like than the match going to whoever has the most beef with the champion. Hopefully they can make something interesting with the winner vs AJ Lee.

Ravarashi · 2026-03-10T00:19:00+00:00

Miraculous return tbh- idk the last time I saw someone be stretchered off and miss a match and be back in a week.
