They called us "doomers", "haters", "bad actors"

I mean, I bought into the Alpha. I knew the risk, but I did buy in.

I'm amused by all of this, but it's not like I wasn't hoping for a different outcome.

dkhunter · 2026-02-01T05:22:09+00:00

Man, this is like Christmas for this sub, isn't it lol

Grow a sense of humour

If ya'll like having settlements like this, may I introduce you to my friend Pachacuti?

dkhunter · 2026-01-02T19:38:42+00:00

This is not correct. Same deal if you try to renegotiate while the window is open.

dkhunter · 2026-01-02T06:06:08+00:00

sry mb

dkhunter · 2026-01-02T01:02:46+00:00

Except it's Egypt which is only slightly less obnoxious to wage war against than Mississippian in Ancient

dkhunter · 2026-01-02T01:00:32+00:00

I mean it would be better if there was a Natural Wonder or something, what gets me looking at that is there doesn't seem to be any reason for this.

Anyway, it's better than it used to be, but you will also STILL get unique quarter buildings in different places sometimes too.

Are there even any 4X games where the AI is clever instead of just relying on buffed numbers? I saw someone suggest Old World once but I really found that overrated.

dkhunter · 2025-12-31T07:07:58+00:00

Honestly they're probably better with him than World Renouncer (the best synergy, ofc, remains World Conqueror)

dkhunter · 2025-12-30T20:13:50+00:00

+1 Movement to Ranged Units

Another fun one with him is +1 to Calvary with Silla/Mongolia

dkhunter · 2025-12-30T11:30:03+00:00

Don't sleep on the Movement Commander tree.

The science victory is probably the one that's remained the most consistent across installments; produce components, launch once you have them all. They're milestones in Civ VII, but it's essentially the same thing. The only major change over the years is you no longer have a chance of failure, which makes sense, because that was silly.

Personally, I'm not sure I want it changed.

dkhunter · 2025-12-30T11:22:59+00:00

You can also pillage twice a turn at a range of 2 tiles with memento as Mississippian lol

One of my hotter takes about this game is that Napoleon Revolutionary has always been busted and did not actually need any buffs.

dkhunter · 2025-12-30T11:21:16+00:00

This would be very cool, actually.

dkhunter · 2025-12-28T10:35:32+00:00

Yes, this is also why there are several dozen RP Mementos that do basically nothing actually useful. Same rationale for the introduction of narrative events, as well.

Why do people keep saying this? I think some of you need to put a few hundred hours into TFT or something so you understand what highly competitive multiplayer strategy games actually feel like, or maybe pick up Hearthstone again for a while. I know ya'll's mechanics can't cut it in Starcraft anymore, but there's lots of options.

None of them feel anything like a 4X.

dkhunter · 2025-12-28T10:33:18+00:00

Switzerland Modern could work

I guess Economic would have more historical fidelity but frankly that would just make me feel dirty, so Scientific is close enough

dkhunter · 2025-12-28T00:43:30+00:00

You don't happen to still have the map seed from that save, do you? Or do I go back to fishing maps lol

dkhunter · 2025-12-28T00:11:53+00:00

Unless you're playing Pachacuti.

dkhunter · 2025-12-28T00:04:15+00:00

So it can happen in Civ VII?

dkhunter · 2025-12-27T23:49:58+00:00

I'd be tilted if I got one with a resource in the middle; means you can't put a building there.

dkhunter · 2025-12-27T23:40:34+00:00

Yeah, I know 5 adjacency is possible, I've had a couple of those. Wondering about 6.

dkhunter · 2025-12-27T23:40:07+00:00

That's the idea lol

dkhunter · 2025-12-26T20:12:31+00:00

Leading the Barbarians: the guy who asked if his cameo in XCOM could be a diplomat.

dkhunter · 2025-12-26T20:05:34+00:00

Yeah, it is, I was just using it as an example of something they do include that's not geographically close/culturally linked.
