Excuse me?

When will devs stop putting shitty memes everywhere?

thx fam

Was there a way to play multiplayer on the pirated CIV 5 game? would you be able to do it on CIV 6?

It is a worse Civ V and Civ V is already shit to begin with. The UI is dated as fuck and the civs are all the same save for some minor bonuses. The game is even slower than before and Civ V was already slow to begin with.

Dat subversion

Are you playing on 800x600?

So is this a ripoff of Endless Legend or what?

yes

Is it worth a pirate?

Resolution of the pic is written right there my friend

I don't follow

They copied Districts from EL.

It will probably get fixed over the course of a few years, if that happens I'll buy it again when it's good.

Endless Legend is a Warlock rip off then?

Why did you buy it in the first place, for Aztecs?

Except in EL there was only one kind of district and it let you work more tiles, whereas the ones in civ 6 work completely differently.
Basically you're an idiot. :^]

...

...

My housemate got it and it looked pretty good so I got it too. A couple of hours later the amount of missing and dumbed-down features finally got to me.

Sounds exactly like what you'd expect from Nu-Civ.

That's a big globe

comunitas patch will fix it!

The map looks like fucking garbage and that and that alone is the reason I'm not touching this steaming pile of ass with a 10 foot pole. The fog of war just looks so bad, how it looks like an old map but it creeps in kinda and isn't perfect. Just total trash.

At least you can tell whats going on and which tile is which. You can't do that in BE or EL.

Looks like they took it off a F2P mobile game.

Nope!

THIS IS DOLPHIN PORN DO NOT DOWNLOAD

Looks like a mobile game.

Fuck, you hit the nail in the head about what was bugging me about the UI. danke user.

Normal districts are the most common, yeah, but there are different types that cost more or require special tiles (ocean), especially when it comes to the new expansions.

What even comes with the fucking digial deluxe edition to justify that shit.

Whats the problem with getting free dolphin and sealion porn, user?

Well it's not like they haven't been trying to go mobile for forever, remember starships? Mark my words, mobile port soon.

Imagine the turn times on a mobile CPU.

Also I'm pretty sure Civ V had touch controls, if you had a monitor that supported it. I unironically think this game will also be ported to mobiles

...

MoO did it first

...

get your shit together faggots

And XCOM2 is coming to consoles, they'll probably be a mobile port of that down the road too.

...

Where do you think you are?

Wow, could post your racist cartoons elsewhere please???

DIE NIGGER

What is this sorcery?

>>>/auschwitz/

ill be the one pulling the lever and gassing you

It's called mobile-readiness.

I refer you to:

Those bastards probably have the gall to use compressed audio.

The fuck is this UI?

Played 12 hours today, with friends, but that being said we restarted a bunch of times.
So far its fine

So far feels like an improvement, but I haven't played past the mid game. When playing multiplayer I constantly felt like I was falling behind the other players but it was hard to tell. There's currently no way to play on a team. A couple of other features seem to be missing. Terrain sometimes seems to just fucking break and makes a giant mountain wall 10+ tiles vertical without any break. One game I spawned between coast and one of these mountains with the only way to expand being north into tundra or south into desert with no way to establish trade routes and no way to effectively build a strategy.

So far seems worth while playing, so long as no obvious game breaking strategy emerges.

its flaming garbage, neck yourself cunt

ITT: People acting contrarian because it's the cool thing to do. The game surpasses Civ V, you don't need to jerk off each other's hate boners this time. Maybe try to actually play it?

Im just so damn settled on Civ4 Im not seeing myself switching. I cannot deal with 5 for several reasons.

Civ games are like operating systems. The one you grew up on will always be "the best"

That's not hard though. I do agree with the baseless shitting on it however. This isn't exactly an uncrackable piece of software, just torrent it and try it yourself before shitposting.

One thing they had to fucking fix from previous games, and it is still shit. It's impossible to find good strategy games with good AI these days

How many bugs have you came across? That's the main thing I'm worried about

...

lever valve whatever

It's a switch, you fool.
No, I'm kidding. Concentration camps didn't actually have gas chambers

Too smart for civ, too dumb for grand strategy. What am I supposed to play?

Toatl War

Satan is right.

Or just git gud and learn GSG, Paradox games are much easier than they appear. EUIV and HoI4 are for babbies.

EU4.

Distant Worlds
Aurora
Dominions

From what I've heard, Aurora is autism incarnate. You're saying it's easier than other grand strategies?

Also the art style (which they might have done worse) and quests (which they changed to bonuses, which I have to admit is a cool idea)

if you cut your teeth on aurora the others won't be hard

civ at high difficulty?
grand strat at low difficulty?
or are you gonna complain the AI is cheating/gimped

How does it surpass Civ V? To me it looks the same and I can't make heads or tails from the marketing talk they use to describe the features.

>Its different and allow me to rant on these three features for 20 minutes
Is the game at least worth a pirate?

Will it run like shit on dated hardware?

would you be able to play multiplayer?

shit game is shit, nothing about being contrarian

Don't really care about multiplayer when I'm probably just going to play the game while I'm taking a shit (using dated hardware) or during thunderstorms.

Elaborate. It looks like the exact same with very minor improvements that really don't make it better when you take into account that it's carrying over much of Civ V's baggage in term of shitty mechanics.

Feel free to throw me in the trash because I preordered (for the discount) but I'm having fun.
That being said. I'm a retarded; ai fucks me up on difficulty 5 (whatever is above prince) and the whole universe has said the ai is retarded

What the fuck am I even saying god damn I'm tired

...

Don't care about the game, but that cover art is pretty fucking awesome

I wouldn't buy it. The graphics are a huge turn off and once again, it's unintuitive as shit. Can't double click to get into city view, have to click manage citizens to choose what to work on, have to click build button, unintuitive as fuck which makes it a chore to play. Didn't make it past the ancient era, but it looks like there's less techs than in the base Civ 5 game. Policies and districts are alright, but it's really nothing special. Firaxis is no more, Brian Reynolds will never make a civ game, it's up to the community to make a proper civ game or just play Civ 4 mods.

I'm gonna try playing another game, but I don't like it.

(1)

Also the new narrator and quotes are absolute shit. This game wasn't a labor of love, it feels like a more indepth tablet game.

Wat. Sean Bean does a great job for it. Obviously Nimoy was better but it's hard to get a dead man to read lines.

what the fuck was wrong with civ V ? with all DLCs it was objectively the best civ so far

You're kind fucking retarded. You know civs games don't release until 2 years after the full price demo.

It doesn't werk

Maybe the narrator is okay but the quotes are terrible.

DLCs do not make a game. Try harder.

Nah, man.
Best Civ is still 4. I haven't played 6 yet, that comes later tonight.
Civ 4 was a LARGE improvement over 3, just as 3 was an improvement over 2.

The thing is, Civ V wasn't aimed at Civ fans. Yeah, you read that right. I don't blame them for it, they wanted to do something else. If you don't autism it up, and actively strive for the best strategy, the game is fun on a casual level. And that's mainly because of the single feature V has over 4: polish.
Take a screenshot from both. V has a very clean and simple HuD, everything is neatly displayed and you can find everything you need rather quickly. Civ 4 required you to change between diferent menus quite frequently, and the mechanics took a bit longer to learn: long enough to scare away casuals.

What I'm hoping now is that 6 is an improvement over 5 just like 4 was an improvement over 3.
At least they didn't cut Tourism, religion and trade routes on realease like 5 did, so I have a bit of faith.
I hope they keep espionage and bring back Corporations, but I haven't seen those on the screenshots and trailers, so I dunno.

Can someone tell me something though:
What features from 5 did they cut out?

Shame on you.

That said:
Because Honour let's you hunt down Bandits quite easily, usually netting you 30 to 40 points with a city state nearby in the first 20 turns. And since you get even more money with it, you can easily ally with two citystates by turn 50, something harder to pull with other civs.
And that's not to mention the free general (that pretty much garantees your first military rush will drop a play from the game before even hitting turn 100) and the combat bonus that get hilarious as fuck once you start rolling tanks.

I agree with all the other points, but if you're gonna bash policies, there's much worse one's, like that maritime shit. Even if your first 5 cities are maritime, that shit is still worthless.

Honestly Civ is the type of game that would work well as a mobile game. Take a turn while you're on the shitter then go on with life.

Spies do exist
And you gotta train them from your cities

That was the idea behind Civ Revolution.

bullshit. I grew up with win9x and I fucking hated them.

Call to Power was my favorite civ game, followed by 3.

In some fringe cases you go honor, yes, but 95% of the time you go either Liberty or Tradition. I used Honor as an example because they are both in the Neolithic levels. Like I said, every policy is either fucking OP or extremely fringe.
I don't have the webm versionples noh bulleh

Yes!
YES!

Story from Civ 4 and how I lost a (shitty) friend:
Best feature ever. I love being peacefull and fucking up warmongers like that.

Kinda forgot a detail here:
Why you combine "poison water" with "incite unhappyness", it takes 10 food from from the city from the first efffect, and then prevents 5-6 villagers from working in tiles that gave another 14-16 food.
That means he has to slap every pop he has on food, and STILL starve.
I didn't check (didn't want to get near him) but a guy playing near him looked over his shoulder and saw "130 (-430) Gold".

I don't really like espionage systems in these games in general, but you did good. Fuck you for making me want to play civ multiplayer now though, that never ends well.

To make you want it even more, I got a better one:

Oh right, forgot something.
He did play with me again.
The game that made the guy completely give up was when I made him surrender even before war broke out.

And he didn't. Nor any kind of fight.
That game, I learned that nukes are boring as shit, and never used them again.
It's pretty much: click buton, game ends.
Boring.

We need more stories like this.

Glorious, user

God the faces look like fucking shit in this game. It's like they went out of their way to try and make unattractive faces.

some hag with dyed hair decided to make all people ugly.

...

This. I would have accepted the exact same leader graphics as V

Requesting more stories of retards getting fucked

...

...

Ebin meme mein friendo. Would you like to answer in the other user's stead or are you just here to shitpost?

The only people shitposting here are the ones complaining "ehhhhh…. it LOOKS just like the last one… i havent played it at all but i hate it… how can anyone say this is good??"

How about we let people come to their own conclusions instead of poisoning the well immediately after the game drops.

I don't think anyone here has said that they hate it. We're just skeptical because in all the shit they've shown us there's nothing that really stands out as great and a few things that stand out as shitty.
What? You think that our opinions are harmful or something? Get your head out of your ass. It's out already so they can go play it if they really care.

They're supposed to be caricatures and they're the only whimsical and creative part of this soulless game

It's shit art regardless of the artstyle.

After nickle and diming with Civ 5s DLC they deserve all the shit they get.

And I think those are the fixed versions, when they revealed some of these leaders they were much worse

Romance of The Three Kingdoms or Nobunaga's Ambition

There's nothing objectively wrong with it. If you don't like it, that's fine, but it's certainly not low quality

There are no "fixed versions" what are you talking about

...

They went the nu-Paradox route of filling the game with epic maymays for redditors to share so they won't notice the actual game is as shallow as a puddle.

There is plenty objectively wrong.
Look at Gandhi, its fucking unpleasant to look at as the anatomy and size of everything is out of wack.

Its almost eldritch the way its so unpleasant too look at.

Those models looked worse when they were first revealed, with time they got altered slightly. I'm sure there was a thread about this on civfanatics and some comparisons

...

Are there any good mods that unfuck Civ Vs gameplay?
Or Civ IV mods that implement hexes?
Despite all its faults the one thing I miss from my brief time with V is the hexes. IV is the superior game but hexes just work better.

Adding onto this, they need to readd unit stacking. It'd make combat so much more bearable.

Except he literally was a king you utter fucking memer

Why is michael rosen black?

Gandhi does look weird but he looked ayyy lmao in IV too

Yeah, I don't believe this. You'll need some evidence for your claims.

...

Yeah but he doesn't make my eyes bleed.

I found this from my history: forums.civfanatics.com/threads/teddy-roosevelt-has-lost-some-weight-now-pictures.572019/
There was also one for Victoria and Qin(and maybe others) but don't feel like searching for it now. Also there's no need for this, the game is released already. Just look at the models in the game and the models from reveal trailers, you should be able to see the difference

Space Empires V with the newest version of the Balance Mod will give you a good amount of freedom and choices without being too complex to understand. It also has an incredible amount of depth and complexity under the surface, so if you like it, you can dig into fleet formations, ship combat orders, automation, alliances with actual terms and pacts, etc. It won't do anything for you if you don't like space games though.

Haven't gotten to play it yet. Thoughts so far? How is it?

OH BOY OH BOY
WHO SHOULD I PLAY AS FIRST?

it literally improve every single fucking feature civ V had

Check if you get the Aztecs since they're shitty preorder bonuses but I've heard some people can still play em

I'm playing some more and diplomacy is the exact same in Civ 5. I'm legit fucking pissed the hell off this game is a piece of fucking hot garbage. It's hard to balance growth and military and leaders fucking DoW in 10 turns, that's my own fault I realize but this game is shit.

Look like a mobile game with tumbrl civ leaders faces.

...

I need my capital city producing workers, my other 2 starting cities don't have a lot of hammers. This is not a complaint of the game, I managed to fend them off because AI is the same shit in Civ 5 and I found a better build order. Rest of my opinion stands, it's hot garbage, leaders across the map denouncing for absolute no reason.

Will it run on my toaster?

If you call theodore roosevelt tumblr ever again I'll make it your problem okay

Haha

But maybe, on low settings

user, I…

your waifu a shit

No he is pure

...

best civ girl so far

...

Once upon a time your mother had a child

Absolutely eviscerated

Wasn't she a literal prostitute? Or was she simply a dancer? I can't remember

Either she was a turbowhore getting dicked all the time in exotic fashion, or her political enemies had reasons to slander her.

I'd facefuck Cleopatra tbh

...

...

Hey I'd fuck an Isis fighter too

these arent isis

Isis fighter as in someone who fights isis fam

Then ypou finally realized who their actual target audience is.
The game seems more shallow than Civ5.
It's fucking perfect for the short-attention span mobile players.

Just means that they didn't stuff their game full with bloated audio encodes.

No you're not.

this is what civbabbies ACTUALLY believe

He said nothing wrong

is there a way to try civ6 before i buy it? I don't have the money to waste on a game that I might not like right now.

Yarr harr diddly dee

Look, I am not saying that all AI's cheat

BUT I AM LOOKING AT YOU AGE OF EMPIRES II YOU MOTHER FUCKER! YOU CANT HAVE CHAMPIONS IN LESS THEN 2 MIN INTO THE GAME!

Is this a fucking mobile game? Mobile port fucking incoming lads.

All that matter is this:

Is Ghandi still the nuke-happy crazy bastard we know and love? Is he still a massive dick to players in this game?

He literally always will be due to memery

CRUSADER KINGS 2, NIGGA

I agree with him other than civ being the pinnacle of strategy, this is why I don't like Civ 6.

4x games

Try Endless Legend, you'll like it

...

Downloaded it, tried it for an hour or so.

It feels slow. Really fucking slow. Also performance isn't ideal despite it looking like a phone game. GG Firaxis.

Also

It's shit. Patches won't fix it, and neither will mods. The only real enjoyment I got out of this game was pirating it to confirm my suspicions that it was going to be as terrible as Firaxis' last releases.

For your information, there are Windows tablets.

I was never a graphics whore but damn on a game like civ it makes a big difference

Yep. I have to agree. Played a game up to the Medieval Era now and everything looks cluttered and counter-intuitive, from the UI to the map to the tooltips. The AI is also shit and does the same crap early Civ5 had with forward settling shit spots just to spite you, shitting out tons of warriors for no real reason, declaring war and then not managing to follow through.

Is that huge NEXT TURN button intended for motion coordination disadvantaged? Good UI should be minimalistic and easily configurable.

How did this cheap looking for mobiles artstyle become a trend? Who likes it?

is this confirmed?
couse waiting for AI to make their turn was a pain in the ass in V

This is basically an iPad game, which got a Beta release on PC.

It's pretty bad. The transition feels smooth but you're still bound to hit End Turn 3 or 4 times in a row early on.

That seems to be Firaxis entire marketing strategy now. See XCOM.

...

...

Played it for 6-7 hours yesterday, here's my first impression. The major points are:
PROS:
-Government types (back from Civ IV)
-More spy stuff (Back from Civ IV, haven't played with it much)
-Districts (Stolen from Endless Legend)
-Tech Bonuses (Somewhat original, changes things up)
-Housing/Freshwater for cities (could be a con because it can get annoying, especially before you know how it works and your cities won't grow, but I like that it adds a little extra strategy)
-No National buildings (which means you aren't punished for founding late cities, which is good because Civ VI seems to encourage building wide)
-Civics tree (adds new bonuses and makes culture more useful)
-AI agendas (minor addition to personalities)
NOT SURE ABOUT:
-Unit support thing (Never tried it so maybe its worthless but its an interesting idea)
-Religious Victory (I like more victory conditions but it sounds like this could be too easy, haven't really seen it in action)
CONS:
-Fucking terrible art style (also stolen from Endless Legend, but EL did it better)
-Disgusting character models (some are alright, like Teddy, but Cleopatra is just gross)
-UI annoyances (unit cycle is the worst, can't turn it off like Civ V)
-NO FUCKING NOTIFICATIONS (you'll always be losing track of city growth/pop management, forgetting to switch research at half, etc. Really fucking dumb because Civ V had notifications that worked just fine, definitely the worst point for me)

THINGS THAT STAYED THE SAME (from Civ V):
-Dumb leader choices
-Dumb AI
-Hexes/no unit stacking
-Most other things

Haven't played on the more difficult settings to see if the ai cheats or if it gets smarter (almost definitely it cheats) and haven't played enough to compare all the mechanics/balancing. So far it seems at least similar in quality to Civ V (so if you don't like Civ V you won't like this) and some of the major problems could be fixed by mods (someone please add notifications and a new art style). Worth a pirate, especially since there's very little work involved in getting it running, even for multiplayer.

He seems a bit more capable and yes, he cheats like a motherfucker on emperor

How about some dumb leader choices? A decent amount are quite acceptable. Teddy, Peter the Great, Saladin, the fat chink…

Hexes are the only good thing V did and they reimplemented limited stacking. AI still can't handle anything but deathstacks though.

Yeah I definitely meant some leaders. And I agree about hexes, I just thought it was worth mentioning

...

He is right, this is one the most unfunny and cringy shit that came out of that election

That and vid related

You one of those sad niggers that maintain how d6 is the only die you'll ever need?

Sega is backing Amplitude now. Give it 5-8 years.

I can't wait

Oh fuck yeah

Nice dubs, but that is if Sega lets them do their thing. A big thing holding back EL was lack of budget AND USING UNITY INSTEAD OF A HOMEBREW ENGINE. We also don't know what kind of turn around we are looking at from their people, hopefully Sega and the Amplitude management doesn't burn out their workers.

Same situation with Paradox. It is truly the worst situation.

Shit version.

Because that worked out so well for TW

Everything had been down hill since Medieval 2, to be honest. Hell, even that game is kinda finnicky compared to Rome.

Yeah, but the real kikery and mod witchhunts started with empire. And speaking of Sega how about that Valkyria Azure Revolution, they're making Valkyria emo fujoshit great again, huh?

Good taste.

I always felt like the Kikery was always there. I mean, Medieval 2 removed alot of neat shit, like AI in online battles. Or Sappers. Or good cavalry.

To be honest I'll never forgive them for changing the overland map in Rome and I meant the dlc kikery

I don't think the game is complete garbage, but I'm holding off on a purchase anyway until it at least gets some mod support going.

its literally the worst game ever made

Its better than 5, but that isn't difficult.

The beginning of the game feels decent, but then the pacing becomes utter shit again the moment you hit medieval age and it just becomes a slog to do anything.

The AI is still not good.

The policy system is neat with the cards, the district stuff is a decent concept.
But it all needs a fuckton of work because its nowhere as depthful as it needs to be and choices are extremely simple to make.

At least on a technical level they got their shit together after the utter failure that was Beyond Earth, but its just as tedious to play through as 5

We will never have another good Civilization game, Alpha Centauri is just going to remain the best forever.

SO YOU IZ SAYIN'

I still want someone to take the same concept and do it better. There was a good game in there somewhere but Firaxis completely botched the job.

...

Of course there is, it's a classic story of exploration and mankind entering a new age. The people behind Beyond Earth had no fucking clue what they were doing, they literally had no original narrative at all. When I saw the ascension ending I couldn't fucking believe it.

As a follow up to this
Late game the scaling becomes retarded. Everything becomes slower in stead of faster. There is just no production in the game that allows you to cope with the massive hammer-costs of late era wonders, to the point that some can take 100 turns in your second city with an industry district. Religion becomes a chore late game, like you're in a constant war. Its tedious and unfortunately mandatory because its a wincon.
Other cracks are forming on the surface, to the point where I don't think I would just build commerce and spawn units until I domination victory every time. I heard people were unlocking the science win by 1600's, then having to spend 200 fucking turns building the rocket.
