Nations with high base science, lots of mines and wide.
Not necessarily together though.

Tradition Korea/Babylon can do well with Order through the 25% science bonus.

It's not really bad for anyone, but I guess Inca would have a bit of a negative synergy since Incas have less mines. Not bad, just less of a bonus there.

Persia.

Expected them to be in at the start since they've been in each vanilla installment since 2.

>>154324586
They would be covered by Persia (their base) or even Turks or Mongols (the ethnicity of their rulers).

Timur would make a really kickass Mongol leader though if multiple leaders per civ is a thing.

>>154324770
Putting them under persia or mongol is both dumb.

>>154324919
We could do worse than a Central Asian civ, but I fear of the inevitable nationalisms that would flare up if they did that.

Actually you're right, now I want the Timurids as a civ.

Given how VI will do two leaders, it's possible they might have one Republic leader and one era-specific Empire leader

>>154326629
I'm fine with pretty much anyone, we've had a lot of based kings throughout history. Karl XII is just my personal preference.

>>154326198
They should add someone from before christanisation or someone like eric the heathen

>>154326829
who said only two? well, they'll probably only put out one/two for most civs because they dont want one with like 5 leaders, but theres no limit on the amount. its all up to the imagination.

>>154326629
>dont mix him upp with another off his uncles again
Yeah that really rustled me.

Great choice for king, but then they just fucked it up and made him look like argueably the worst choiec for king.

>>154327238

unfortunately covered by france

just like danes or geats are covered by denmark or sweden, saxtons or angles are covered by either germany or england

i'm suprised celts even got their own civ, but I assume it's because if they decided to specifically include the scottish, welsh or irish, who were then split into even more different tribes, they'd get analcrusaded people who probably aren't even celtic in the slightest

>>154327536
Anglo-Saxons ARE the English, Danes are Denmark, and the Gauls can be covered by a generic Celtic civ.

OTOH they split the Vikings up into Norway/Sweden/Denmark, so we may see a Celtic split yet, including the Gauls. I have an increasingly weird feeling we're going to see Firaxis go Paradox and release a ton of Civs as DLC, a lot more than expected.

>>154327536
>unfortunately covered by france
That's not how this works.
And you know it isn't how things work when you even know about the celts.

>>154327536
Well that sucks since there literally Nothing other than geography that the Gauls and French have in common, and Vercingetorix<Boudicca as far as celtic leaders go

>>154328024
Boudicia was a slut that ruined her people with betrayal

You're making Civilization #.
You will have 18 civilizations during vanilla.

The Dutch and the Portuguese, although they'll likely make it in anyway in the future. If they need a scenario idea, do what they did and make a random new world scenario like in Civ V.

The Goths since I think they're cool, and also add the Huns back. Hell, add in those various Germanic civs from the Fall of Rome scenario, like the Vandals, Franks, and so forth.

The Italians, but they never will make it in because Rome is in already.

Sumeria, Babylonia, AND Assyria all in the same base game. Maybe the Phoenicians but Carthage tends to take their spot.

The Sioux to go along with the Iroquois. Mali again. Maybe a generic Bantu civ to go with the Zulu.

Honestly, my overall rule is the more, the merrier.

Civilization?
You mean that slum they call a history?

Just had an idea to make ship design perhaps a bit more interesting and varied in Stellaris.

So there are four classes with icons shown as 1 diamond to 4 diamond.
Battleships are 4 diamond, but Fallen Empire sdon't have Battleships, they have Battlecruisers as their 4 diamond ship.

My idea is that instead of Battleship Tech, maybe you had 4 different battleship techs and only one of them appears naturally in your tech tree.
So you got Dreadnought as your 4-Diamond class ship, then you fight ayylmaos with Battlecruiser, research their debris and get lucky and get access to their types.

Battleships may have access to more Large slots, while Battlecruisers may have access to more slots in general. Dreadnought have more defensive slots.
For example how they can differ.

In sci fi shows the different races tend to have very different ships and this could add to that.

>>154334619

>>154334626
You do get all those things though.

>>154335735
Not through research. The heavy units are already unlocked.

>>154335094
It would also be worth exploring the possibility of different hulls having different modifiers attached. I always found it silly that the corvette interceptor hull doesn't have a speed and evasion modifier, and the striker hull doesn't have a damage modifier for instance.

>>154335826

Apparently it comes with something special, beyond the Aztecs.

>>154344364
I don't agree but I respect your opinion.

I'm going to try to sketch out a framework for a proper nomadic Civ that doesn't have any cities.

>start with a handful of military units, each one representing 1 pop
>food upkeep but no gold upkeep, instead units harvest resources from surrounding tiles
>harvesting provides double yields, but harvested tiles become barren for a number of turns, necessitating that you keep moving
>units can get upgrades for herds of livestock or merchant caravans
>new units are created by expending stockpiles of food and production
>can't produce science, but automatically unlocks techs through eureka moments
>possible restrictions on when you can take over and rule cities

This'd be a generic nomad civ that you could tweak and augment to fit any other kind of civ.

Maybe for a semi-nomadic civ like the Zulus, you could have the option to build kraal tile improvements on cattle that give extra food and xp when harvested.

Or for the Israelites, you have the option to take over cities while still in the ancient era, whilst other nomadic civs have to wait until the classical or medieval era to do so.

If anyone has better ideas I'd love to hear them.

I'm actually the guy who posted a few Zuul campaign screenshots a few threads ago. Much alike he-who-bitches-about-fishes, my campaign was brought to a halt by the machinations of supposedly peaceful and harmonious race of aquatic life-forms.
To be fair, the Liir hadn't actually made any aggressive moves towards Zuul space. It was a rouge Liir-made AI named Knight. I'm sure you can imagine the already advanced enough arsenal at Liir disposal in the hands of a destructive artificial intelligence.

Take pleasure in the knowledge that humans are the precursor race in our universe. We evolved on a planet formed pretty much right on the beginning about as fast as is possible. Even if our society putzes about a bit getting to FTL and super science space travel we're still a good billion years ahead of everyone else.

>Interview: Endless Space 2’s Devs On Why They Traded Independence For Sega
>“Endless Legend has proven that it’s possible to add a strong narrative layer to an otherwise very systemic game,” says Girard. “4X games are, in essence, systemic games where you put game mechanics together and then have an experience emerge, but then we proved it was possible to have a great story arc for each faction and lots of cool stuff that made it unique compared to other 4Xs.”

Vaulters were first off Auriga. Dosh Lords bunkered down. Realized they couldn't outlast the eternal winter. Sacrificed everything the had left to make a single escape ship. The end.

What do you think the chances are that the Vaulters will return with their bullshit powerful portal trait?

I didnt enjoy it when i played it last but i might try it again.

This seems like the place to ask.
I want to get a dog. I live in North Dakota and want to get a dog that is able to be walked almost every day of the year, not some fragile thing that can't go outside for 6 months.
I was thinking of a St. Bernard but am open to other suggestions.
I'm also worried that if I get a St. Bernard its poop might be too big to clean up.

i don't think this is the right place to ask.

>>154415969
This is definitely the right place to ask.

>>154415748
Get a dog.

>>154415748
A lab or golden would be my suggestion

Most dogs can go out all year round. I have shitty tiny Pommeranians and they have more than enough energy for two daily walks

Best natural wonders for Spain?

Anything that gives religion is a guaranteed pick on all religious traits. Cerro de Potato will pay for your army for half the game.

I'm super psyched for the casus belli of Civ 6.

This is the last time I let autoresolve deal with self-replicating machines.

Anything that isn't old faithful.
Actually thinking about it, old faithful isn't too bad, it's like a free luxury. and 4 science isn't the worst tile if you have enough science multipliers.

I prefer to look at it this way

Lake Victoria or Uluru easily.

GBR.
No contest.

After that it's probably a Food+Faith wonder

Enjoy your Berserkers, bro.

It certainly felt like a hollow victory.

I got a mad game with spain- salt start, kilimajaro 6 tiles away , uluru around 20 tiles so as a great barrier reef, and giblartar all of them good to settle. The only problem is that its communitas and at around 1600 game crashes and i dont know what seems to be the couse.
