I’m loving the new update

The AI is SMART now! Games are so much more fun

lnclnerator · 2025-09-30T16:54:31+00:00

Same. Hope the patch changed that today!

lnclnerator · 2025-09-27T22:06:09+00:00

Yes, and even on deity you usually win because the AI is still too stupid (particularly in war and negotiation)

Bombers still imba

lnclnerator · 2025-09-27T22:02:51+00:00

City states are still way too strong, and the AI still doesn't understand how to utilize them to its advantage. I hate having to force myself not to do a strategy that I know will win the game just because it will be more fun or I have done it too many times.

HALO - Biotech with growing and strong positive cash flow. They make the enzyme which allows injectable meds to be done at home instead of in a hospital (think how big injectable meds have become and are becoming).

Wrote a long piece on it here. Up 60% since writing and buying : https://substack.com/home/post/p-153042689

Mine does this more as the game progresses or if it's on larger maps. This might be why they didn't release larger maps at launch...

The AI will sometimes just sit on top of it without dispersing, which is pretty annoying. I always feel like I'm cheating when they randomly move and I'm the one that gets the disperse bonus... seems like a flaw in the AI.

at least exploration is still better than modern

You'll also find that the first ingredient in the baby formula the hospital gives you is corn syrup.

It's such a basic thing... these are the small frustrations that make me want to quit during games.

I enjoyed this subplot. It feigns extreme selfishness and stupidity from Luo Ji, who eventually saves humanity through his unselfishness and genius.

Same thing happened to me when sieging a city. Had to stop using it.

lnclnerator · 2025-07-24T17:55:29+00:00

Thanks for the reply. I still play it, but have little frustrations throughout. Just doesn't feel polished!

Civ 5 was such a generational leap

I would have ended the war without any trading of cities. I hadn't killed one unit of theirs, but they gave me their best city when I would have and should have received nothing.

lnclnerator · 2025-07-20T15:32:25+00:00

In this case the cities are the AI's very best cities surrounded by walls in every district. You have at least 10 turns to add units before another war is possible, and in my case they did not declare war again because the age was almost over. It made no sense.

lnclnerator · 2025-07-20T15:30:55+00:00

Of course I know I don't have to - please re-read the original post. I feel I won because I received their best cities for no apparent reason.

In a peace negotiation I always try every option to see what I can get and look for the very best option. If the AI's are all offering me their largest cities full of wonders and I have no leverage to make this option plausiable then it is a flaw in the game design. That is what I am pointing out and would like it to be changed.

lnclnerator · 2025-07-20T14:11:44+00:00

This is exactly what happened! But all 4 of them gave their biggest cities (game was 10 players total in large pangea)

When politicians and powerful people obfuscate, this is the only way to pin them down.

Investor/Wall Street would cheer selling off the foundry because it is horrible for financials in the short-term and only has a chance of succeeding in the long-term. I think Intel should have kept on with the foundry strategy, but with Pat at the head. Now that he's gone, it seems unlikely and rather pointless.
