Master of Magic

hello

so we know about the leader agenda, but what are secret/hidden agendas that are seemingly random and always change as the game goes on?

>>156835708
They don't change as the game goes on, they are randomly assigned at the start of each game and are not revealed until you reach a certain level of diplomatic access via gossip or espionage.

The devs have gone on record that they don't give conflicting agendas, ie the Kongo won't have one related to having a lot of people following its religion or something.

They may be something like "tries to accumulate lots of gold and likes Civs that have lots of gold, dislikes Civs with low amounts of gold" or "likes Civs that establish national parks, dislikes Civs that remove terrain features. Will not remove features and will try to build National Parks"

No, you dumb fucking twat, I don't want to renew this deal. The fact that it lapsed more than 15 turns ago and I've rejected it the last 15 times you asked should have clued you in. It would also be pretty fucking dumb of me to trade away my last copy of this luxury while my happiness is balancing precariously.

STOP FUCKING ASKING, YOU MASSIVE FUCKING CUNT.

>>156836048
Ahh so you think they are drawn from a pool of random agendas?

>>156837327
Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's how it works, and they're coded so they don't conflict with the primary agenda/Civ

>>156837327
they are, yes.

>implying Gandhi won't have a 1000% chance of getting the Nuke Happy "hidden" agenda

>>156839060
I feel like they should have two hidden agendas in addition to their nomal one.
Maybe one biased to their historical traits and one completely random?

>>156839197
Gandhi might have a bias towards that hidden agenda like Teddy seems to have towards Environmentalist

I don't like Wu being protective. Should I make her charismatic or imperialistic?

Between Stellaris and ES2 which seems to be the better option right now?

>>156839270
thats literally what they're doing, yes.

>>156839926
They have three agendas?

>>156839926
nevermind, misread. I think two agendas is just fine, though.

>>156840017
i think it will not be long until there is a mod for 2 hidden agendas, hopefully once there are more leaders for the same civs there will be a leader based agenda mod. unless the agendas are leader based already, in which case the mod could add agendas related more so to the nation. i know the information of rather agendas are leader or civ based is already public but im too lazy to figure out right now

>>156839823
well es2 is early access so i would say stellaris unless you you really enjoy the endless series

>>156839823
Stellaris won't be good until they put out a few more expansions and DLC's. Heinlein looks good but it's only fixing the first 5 of about 50 problems with the game.

Endless Space 2 is pretty barebones on races right now, but the political system is everything I wanted from Stellaris, and there's actual thought behind ship design and fleet composition other than TACH LANCES LMAO

>>156841358

please explain to me what people mean with "afk battles"

>>156841358
The Tach Lance thing is one of the problems that Heinlein will be fixing, though.

> still no good real-time combat space game with ship design

>>156846624
I was talking about the video.

>>156846506
diplomacy is nonexistent
war is as simple as it gets
tech system sucks
the ai sucks
the only way to expand is through war, you can only take a couple planets at a time making even mindless expansion boring as fuck
you can make infinite money in no time, and in the extreme late game you don't even need minerals or energy credits since the penalties for being at 0 are null and you don't need to build any new units or power anything, so you can keep playing at 0 mineral and solar credit income while rolling over every enemy

Just last another few weeks and then Civ 6 will give you reason to live for another 5+ years as DLC and expansions and mods trickle in.

You just need to be in the process of building a science building while not letting anything non-science complete.

I beat my first deity game tonight. Shit wasn't even hard. I feel that at the level map size, in other words how big A.I civs can get, plays a bigger factor than if it's immortal or deity.

Also holy shit Winged Hussar is a powerful unit. Can move trough half the battle field in one turn and deal damage thar takes down units in one turn thanks to heavy charge.

Have you ever wondered how cravers reproduce?
Do they have breeding pits?

>>156848965
Be sure to level up Wartime Nationalism in the Guardian skill tree. At rank 2, it gives -10% ship cost.

>>156848972
Winged Hussars are up there with Keshiks and Impis in terms of power. I just wish they were cavaliers instead of lancers.

>>156839823
Endless Space very much puts the Early into Early Access. Only 4 factions, and some of the stuff doesn't seem to be working properly. It's rather jarring to see "Disabled in Early Access" on like a third of the options, most importantly you can't actually reinforce fleets yet.

Space Muslims Ark seems really oddly susceptible to ground battles too.

I enjoy Stellaris, can't wait for the Heinlein patch.

Should I get Endless Space 2?

I hope they add racial specific hero ships at some point.
It's really jarring seeing space ferraris leading my fleet of craver trashcans.

So do you think Firaxis is finally ready to make a demo, or are they still working on finalizing game mechanics?

This close to release date, they probably have the final build ready, and are just adjusting values for balance, and trying to take care of bugs.

I have always waited at least a few months before buying any game, usually waiting for a massive steam sale. This Civ would have become my first launch purchase in years, if it weren't for the shit shows Beyond Earth and Starships. Currently working on my entertainment backlog.

Hoping for the best though.

I don't know why but my gold production kept decreasing during the game. There's nothing in the description about dragoon needing gold upkeep, so I dunno what happened.

Nevermind, I found it. Turns out dragoons have an upkeep of something like 0,02 gold, something like that.
I had 80 dragoons at the end of the game, and I lost roughly 10 gold (since I also had a tower and a XVIII officer).

It'll almost certainly be good since Amplitude has a good track record, but I'm holding off for a bit since I'd rather play it when it's finished

The standard explore and colonize while building the two starting improvements. I'll try skipping the second incubator I usually buld and go into ship production immediately after the starting improvements are done.

Usually the AI is threatening me by turn 25 and declaring war by 30.

As the cravers I just build ships and vomit colonies. As the lumeris I make dosh build ships and buy colonies.

Gee, this is not overpowered at all. Sure, all the other nations have to have their science output scale only with number of cities until Public Schools rather than population, but surely this will not give china a great advantage...

For the uninitiated, most science buildings in CBP provide only a fixed amount of SPT or a bonus for every citizen born. Public schools are the only ones that grant science per capita. (IIRC)

I guess you're right. But 2-3x more science than everyone else just seems a bit extreme.

So I want to add the Ur-Quand to Stellaris.
What are their ethics?

Clockwork Empires finally has a release date; are we allowed to talk about it here?

The best thing about Stellaris is the endgame crisis in my opinion, but they kinda suck after a while.

Any mods that make the better (worse?) Any mods that add new ones?

The first hero you receive is based on your race choice. Sophons always get counselor for example. Most classes have some form of administrative ability now, making them all somewhat decent at system administration from what I can tell.

Interestingly as the game progresses, you unlock additional heroes by doing things such as exploring, fighting etc. and the classes of heroes you can recruit from is based on your actions. So if you've done a lot of combat recently, you are more likely to be provided with a combat focused hero.

I haven't played anything since disappointing release of Anno 2205.
Endless Space 2 seemed to be somewhat promising. But released alpha makes me think that developers lack creativity in general. Cliche humanoid races, spaceships with jet-engines and WW I style battles, plain 2d maps with colored balls. This is not something I would call a futuristic "endless" space game. And the following comment made me drop all the remaining hopes:
"- how to tweak map gen? - maps in alpha are so claustrophobic.. i feel I'm in prison cell not in galaxy...space..where you can explore and...discover....stuff... one step right - end of map.... one step left - end of map. i can't enjoy my alpha..."

Also even though this game is being produced by full-fledged commercial company, published by Sega, distributed through many channels they fukken put "Indie" label on it.

That's the one criticism that is not valid. Maps can be huge and very early on you can move outside the spacelanes. And that's without mods.

SotS was published in 2006. 10 years later people still make 2d starmaps.

Fucking why. I hate it, it's just Civ, IN SPACE! Can we please have 3d starmaps again. They aren't hard.

>>156877873

>>156878123
Have you actually played Sots? They are intuitive AF. Minimal spatial awerness is all that required. It takes more effort to figure map of a supermarket than a 3d spiral or cluster map. They are in essence still the same old maps, but they add so much uniqueness to an expirience compared to an average 4x game, be it a downwell one or not..

>>156878349
>Isn't that the shit game that runs shit on everything if it runs at all or that is 2? Star ruler had 3d maps.

So, I've been playing a lot of Civ 6, and I have to say it's pretty fugging good m8s. My brother has a review copy, and I mooched off of him to play it.

I managed to complete 1 complete playthrough, and have another going on.

I can type up a more indepth review if anyone cares, but:

The game is really good, the highest praise I can give it is that it feels a hell of a lot more complete than Civ V at launch. I've been having a lot of fun, and I wish I could put it on a difficulty higher than prince.

I can try to answer some questions, but I've never been really great at Civ. I started with IV, played a lot of V, and now I'm playing VI, so don't expect any pro strategies.

It can easily have a 100 plus planets right now. This number will increase with development. if anyone wants more than that, he can enjoy No Man's Sky.

Don't get me wrong, ES2 is not worth playing right now but small galaxy size is bullshit.

>>156879023
It feels a lot like Civ V's, but with a bit more added on to it. You can now actually get a religious victory.

Only problem is you really gotta build holy districts, otherwise you can't even found a religion.

My opinion on the price is that I'd spend $60 for the game, but fuck that $80 edition.

However, they're probably going to do the bullshit DLC stuff again, which I don't like. I bought Civ V at release, but waited for a sale on the DLC.

I'll probably be playing more tall in civ6.

I go ICS in civ5, I've gone occ in civ2, ncc in civ2 even

>>156884080
ICS was the most viable strategy in Civ V before BNW anyway

It's not so much that building lots of cities is impossible in V, it's actually completely possible and viable if you have the happiness resources to support it

The problem is that it requires a lot more micromanagement, luck, and strategy and you don't really get any benefit out of it, it's not any better than playing the super-safe, easy 4-city tradition game. The effort>reward ratio is way off

>>156883387

Kohr-ah will be Fanatic Militarist and Fanatic Xenophobe, maybe with a little spiritualism throw in (through i don't think is explicit necesary, i only remember the reincarnation comment to be spiritualist)
I guess you could turn down militarism for Kzer-Za and add Materialism since they are the scientific breed

I'm someone who got into civ 5 recently, after getting bored with /gsg/, and started playing wide from the get go (because that's how I play 4x, and last civ I spent more than 10 h on was 2). It surprises me that so many players default to tall It just seems counter intuitive.

On a side note - diety AI is a dick.

>>156884348
>ICS was the most viable strategy in Civ V before BNW anyway
Yeah.
I should've clarified bnw where they actually nerfed it.


For me the effort reward ratio doesn't bother me so much.
There's a certain enjoyment in planting a hundred cities in civ5 when some people don't know you can plant more than 5.

The problem is that stellaris race generation is shit, and trying to create anything with any depth to it falls flat on it's face. It's to me one of the most glaring flaws. Unique and memorable factions were always key selling point in 4x games, who the hell thought that "let's make them generic and random" was a good idea is something I'll never know.

Do you honestly think professional VO's are guilty of this? Because they aren't. It's direction, pure and simple. Devs this days seem to want either to go full cheese or super serious. Back in the day these tended to be mix and matched. Altho Civ6 VO seems to buck the trend.

City building is about the same as in Civ5. There are non-combat magic spells that affect the entire game world (or a smaller area) but most of the magic is in the combat, which is where most of the game is focused. It's centered around hero units and exploring the world.

Civ VI is definitely the most complete and fun at release. It's hard to objectively judge it against IV and V because I only have the review copy, and it's missing content. It's also new, which means its a lot more novel.

However, it in general has most of the content from V at release, which means when it has the expansions it should be even better.

I actually like most of the quotes. Don't get me wrong there are a few that are weird, but what makes it up to me is that there are multiple quotes per tech/civic. Also, I'm glad that they added natural wonder quotes. I do agree that Sean Bean's narration is kind of weird though. It seems sort of stale, he doesn't really put too much emotion into it. I used to laugh at the "A Horse, A Horse, My kingdom for a horse" quote in V for how ridiculous it sounded, but now I'm kind of missing it desu. The quotes felt a lot more "alive" in past versions.

And tradition to bless everything stems from "couldn't hurt" mentality. That is to say people who believe get a raise in morale from the process, people who don't don't mind it.

The CCCP was officially atheist, but the people were and continue to be very relatively pious.

>>156899047
russians have always been quite the believers

just because some jewish pawns got installed into power through bloody revolution doesn't mean they ever stopped believing

>>156899206
>>156899338
Haaaa, okay.
Because I (tired to) read a book by Svetlana Aleksievitch recently, and I was surprised to see how often the Russians refers to God.
Especially after it's explained earlier that one guy got send to Siberia for swearing about God.

'Orthodox priest blessing weapons'

>>156899047
>Russians are quite the believers
You think orthodox church is a equivalent of catholic church, when it's not. Orthodoxy always sucked cocks of people in power since its inception.
"Atheism" was instated in the same manner by commies later.

>that beyond earth trailer with the orthodox priest blessing the rocket

what went wrong lads

>>156899047
Need for something uplifting and unifying is quite strong within Russian culture as a whole. Religion served this before and after soviets, during soviet times sports did. That banner on a picture with guns says "If we and sports are united we can't be defeated" just so you can see my point.

>>156899206
>>156899338

You guys, are not precise, while true that religion plays a major role in modern russia it is due to politics rather than overwhelming majority of believers that came out of the woodwork or something like that.

>>156899721
>literal Holy Hand Grenade

>>156899813
Haaa. I'm sorry, I've been raised a Catholic, so I always tend to imagine religion as a centralized power.
And I also imagine gods are all-powerful creatures, so Japan and their small gods that can be killed by mortals confuses me.

>>156899845
I never mentioned anything about politics.

The CCCP attempted to stamp out religion violently. This proved to be ineffective. Russia is barely a secular state, Putin's Government is very much unified to the Church.

>>156899842
no orthodox techpriests special units as Spacerussia

>>156900030
How do you call an orthodox priest anyway? A padre? A pope?

>>156899047
CCCP were not fedora tippers, they cracked down on religion because it was a means for people to unite against them.

Stalin wasn't running around talking about evolution and Darwin, he just wanted any sort of resistance eradicated.

It is a centralized power, but not centralized on the patriarch. He merely repeats political lines, like at some point the Patriarch was saying bombings in Syria are the defensive war because the bible says so. Also he said russians don't need human rights. And cracked down on Pokemon Go to the point you can get behind the bars for catching them in a church.

That's why Eid al-Fitr takes place in Moscow each year I guess.

Everything. And judging by the feedback that can be seen on paracucks' forums, nothing major will ever be fixed since the faggots over there seem to defend every retarded bug or design decision with fury of a triggered autist.

This is one of the biggest things about Civ games that I wish they would add already, the ability to alter terrain, like building canals in those shitty little 1 tile land bridges that divide the world, or building bridges over those shitty little 1 tile water areas that only make it so you have to waste extra time embarking and disembarking, or even just building railroad tunnels through mountain ranges, they could even have it so each civilization can only do it once, just fucking do something.

A priest. The head (equivalent of pope) is the Patriarch.
