/civ4xg/ - Civilization, Stellaris, Endless and 4X Games General

first for anime

pigs

I am fond of coal miners

BULLY FOR YOU

Holy shit, setting the World Age to Old makes the game so much better. Why is over half the fucking map hills on normal settings? Scouts that can only move one fucking tile a turn in the early game is fucking tedious. Forests and Rivers I can deal with, but the fucking hills man. There's like 5x as many as there should be.

>>158558739
The system itself is great, it's just that some specific agendas are poorly designed

It turns out Kilimanjaro had no wifi, so I spent all week wifing the pigs

>>158558697
Some balance shattering exploits right now, some tuning needs to happen, and AI is dumb as fuck but those can be fixed and the core of the game is great. Potential to be the best civ once it gets the inevitable expansions, as of right now it's a solid game that needs some patching.

>>158559084
Diplomacy for ANY AI is basically impossible in a majority of games. I haven't formed a single alliance since release because I can barely become friendly with some AIs and maintain it for longer than a few turns

I know Harald is completely shit, but does he have any redeemable features? How is his music? I feel like playing a Viking now

If you're on a different continent than her, she will hate you (unless she colonizes that continent) and give you that message.

Though if you happen to start on the same continent as her, well, congrats you're going to be BFFs

Illiterate retard here, why does Victoria say United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, and doesn't mention Scotland?

I got an archer in my city, I want to attack a horseman (barbarian, I would have cleared them if my most my forces weren't occupied defending against Gilgamesh) but a wood is in the way, so he would opt to walk around some. So I cleared the wood with a worker (to build up my walls quicker and to get line of sight) and the shooting icon appears, the red bow thingy, but instead of shooting he still tries to walk around.

Also, when I try to do it manually, by selecting ranged attack...nothing happens.

What the fuck?

>>158559125
Yeah, it's tough. It really depends on what civ you are playing, what civ they are and what their/your victory condition is.
I've alled with England as France and with Egypt and Rome as Sumeria.
The rest of the time, even with a lot of positive modifiers, their agenda/hidden agenda are just weighted too heavily for you to ever befriend them.
It just needs some serious tweaking. Hopefully Firaxis are paying attention and patch it soon.
It really makes me wonder what the fuck they are smoking when they supposedly have been running AI battles internally for months testing the AI out.

>>158559346
if you manage to get an alliance you don't need to think about this one AI attacking you and forcing you to waste hammers on repairing improvements/districts, units to fight it off, etc.

>>158559318
how?

>>158559216
>An unmet player has been defeated
Usually just means someone knocked off a city state. Check the score screen though, it might show one less unknown civ if someone took another player out

Great Britain includes Wales and Scotland, without either of those two it's literally not Great Britain

The country you are then thinking of is England

"British Isles" would have also been proper, but as a geographical area, not as an official title

Will Armies and Armadas be the auto-explore or auto-improve options of Civ V? Time savers but never used in high level play?

>Tea gives science

Can someone explain why

>>158559540
>By the two Acts [of Union], the Kingdom of England and the Kingdom of Scotland—which at the time were separate states with separate legislatures, but with the same monarch—were, in the words of the Treaty, "United into One Kingdom by the Name of Great Britain".

>>158559775
It would be broken if it was twice as strong.

the idea is that if you have extra units you can combine them and that way get more units fighting at the same time, especially important in bad terrain.

>>158559775
can you combine different unit types

>>158559775
twice would be insane, because they would take significantly less damage and do significantly more in one action

though I do think they are a bit underpowered

>conquer all of arabia as teddy
>no one cares
why? I had a cb and was on another continent than everyone else(outside of arabia). Does that make such a big difference?

>>158559775
Simply multiplying their strength would just make them broken.
Do armies cut down the upkeep costs?

>>158559775

Combining units means you can fit more shit on the map and in narrow chokes, it might also modify health or maintenance in ways that makes it profitable on the long run

Plus, you get more efficiency out of building these straight out of the gates

Barb spams horsemen and literally becomes stronger than me the domination leading civ at turn 90 it's fucking bullshit.

>>158559261
the AI has double standards for it

Gandhi AI is very happy to knock out CS more ofthen than not, for example.

>>158559826
Tobacco and other psychoactive stimulants were often used in rituals
Tea I don't know, chinese/japanese scholars drinking the ton of it?

Or just some balance shit that shouldn't be overthought, same with science Iron

>>158559826
If I had to guess, its probably related to the cultures who farmed both

Tobacco is used in a lot of ritual shit

>>158559245
>ai is fucking retarded
Gratuitous, this is /civ4xg/.

>>158559962

They need to either rein in their tech advantage or stop their cheat production because it's retarded that they can just RNG their way into an army in 4 turns

>>158559918
>thinking other civs arent happy you expunged falafel
topkek

>>158559775
It's a really good idea to form an army out of a highly experienced unit, since the unit that creates the army retains its experience.

It's also good in places where there isn't enough room to maneuver a large force.

>>158559020
thanks senpai. I never use military stations. Are they useful in the new patch?

I don't know about you guys but I'm really getting tired of seeing Gandhi's half naked ass. Only happens with him, his model is the worst imo

>>158560352
the game can be easily cheesed, I just don't do it.
For example it's easy to build up ridiculous amount of faith generation, far more you need even for religious victory.

Then you can just kind of turn it to hammers by faith-buying units with Theocracy and selling faith-bought units for lots of gold. And you can sell them the turn you buy them so you can just dump all the faith you ever accumulated and turn it into gold in a single turn.

does civ6 have multiplayer accessible by pirates?

Nah, military stations are still shit (although it is possible to use them as a useful speedbump lategame by exploiting the snare module).

The patch buff only applied to build-above-a-planet stations.

>>158559989
It's retarded by civ standards. We're talking still running around with warriors and archers even though they researched Rocketry 50 turns ago.

It's kinda bad but at least the rest of the game is good, if the AI can get fixed so it's at least Civ V levels of retardation it'd be a stellar game.

You probably can't recruit great prophets anymore, check out the great people screen. I think after you found a religion, you can't get them anymore since they're useless

>>158560692
probably because all the religions are already founded and prophets are gone.

chances are Saladin is in the game and Stonehenge already went to another AI.

>>158560692
Either you already have a prophet or there are none left.

>>158560692
great prophets normally all go away before the medieval era, since theres a limited amount every game. (since they're only used to found religions)

Writing is easy.

>>158560724
Play Japan and go for scout or two to find a natural wonder.
Or Peter if you want to risk a shitty "pure Tundra" start.
Or China and pray you'll get Stone in capital and chop out a builder which youll dump into Stonehenge.

Does having extra copies of a luxury provide an amenity to 4 more cities or should i trade them?

>Turn 17
>Barbarian horseman near my city already
How do I play so this doesn't happen? One barb scout came near my city, which I went after him with my slinger. But the thing is the guy is a fucking scout, I couldn't catch up with him

>>158562501

>>158562748

>>158562819
Build a scout and find their camp. It's pointless to chase scouts unless you can corner them fast.

>>158562819
don't bother with scouts
build a slinger and a warrior
wait for the barbs to come to you if you get scouted
take the time to position units properly so you don't lose any
protect upgraded units
clear camps and settle early so you can pump out more units
don't bother with builders until you are safe

>>158562852
because the AI is shit and the only way to increase the difficulty is to make them cheat.

It's one thing to give them a small head start or some cool unique bonus, it's another thing to just give them an 8% or +1 bonus to literally everything across the board and twice your starting units. And that's just on King difficulty, everything above that is a joke.

Cossascks was one my first strategy games.

change the setting so you're playing against 6 (or more) Civs and abundant resources

>>158563398
To put it simply : it's Cossack 1 in 3D.

It fixes a few bugs (like the stone extraction upgrade cancelling each others, or the farmer's salary augmentation giving +10% instead of +50%), has its own bugs (line of fire isn't always obvious, so your cannons sometimeshave to move around ruins to fire), erases some other stuff that was near (like the ingame encyclopedia, the game doesn't always tell you if an unit requires gold for upkeep) and the AI is improved, but it really feels like Cossacks 1.

>>158563497
Worked ok on Emprah. It all comes down to what type of barb camp spawns and how many of them arrive.

>>158559590
AI can still declare war on you even if you're allied

>>158563496
Germany is funny because it really does feel like you just play passively for eras on end until your production hits nuclear fusion levels then you pop out four tanks a turn
It's not even tied to a unique unit (the Uboat is underwhelming), it's just so valuable to go full autism for three or four eras making a hansa/commercial district conglomerate.
Seriously the Hansa is sleeper OP, best unique district in the game above the baths

Why couldn't they add the max tile range for cities in the UI, or area of effect for industrial zones.

It's like he game's difficulty is kind of ramped up by obscuring important information from the player in the UI.

>>158564192
Well no it isn't, although due to how the combat works it's less of a difference than you might think, thats not the point of grouping them though, it's to get a higher concentration of force in a smaller area. Which is more likely, that you can get 4 bombards in position to hit a city or 2 bombard corps?

Wild walkers is the most vanilla so start with them.

Tech works very different to civ, you have ages with several techs but you only need half of them to advance to the next age. Read all techs but realize you can only get some of them. Get at least 1 armor or weapon upgrade per age.

>>158565054
I've never watched any videos or other theory lessons but since civ5 I've always gone scout first no exceptions.

In Civ 6 I've been going Scout -> Slinger -> Builder in order to rush Archery and I really like it.

>>158568094
Epic pace, Standard size like my dick

I feel like units should obsolete slower. The system worked in Civ 5 because strategic resources were everywhere and easier to trade for. But this is not the case in Civ 6, so once you research a tech, you might be unable to produce the new unit, but you can't make the old ones either. They should make it so units obsolete one era later than they normally do.

>>158559706

It is next to impossible to stop raids so the early game is always shit forcing an archery rush since barbars will fuck your slingers up. Basically barbarian raids are op.

>>158568724
I give it a 9. It's realistically an 8 but the way civ5 launched this is an extremely solid foundation to build on when the first DLC/expanion comes. It'll probably reach 10 eventually so I give it a 9 now. Maybe a little fanboy logic but I stand by it.
>>158569029

Why is it impossible for game devs to make pirates make some fucking sense in a game? Like, wtf is the purpose of their existence in an average 4X game? They destroy shit and... what? That's basically it. They don't salvage crap, they don't capture shit, they don't even care who they are attacking as if pirates aren't concerned with getting the shit blown the fuck up because they fucked around with an empire they can't handle just to blow up a ship that is of no value to them and served no purpose to the pirates whatsoever.

Why can't they make pirates like they were. Irritating assholes that are wherever money and valuables are and they don't give two flying fucks about destroying shit for the sake of destruction, but instead want to make a profit out of it. What's the fucking point of having a fleet of bazillion pirate ships if everything you do results in casualties and no income?

I've never seen a pirate faction that makes any fucking sense in a 4X game.

Stellaris' "pirates" or what ever that retarded weak fleet and starbase is that spawn at the beginning of every fucking Stellaris game ever is probably the most redundant and retarded implementation of pirates I have ever seen. They don't even do any damage or require any attention apart from making a few extra corvettes at the beginning of every god damn game.

Eight barbarian nuclear missiles spring into existence around your guy, and before you can do anything seven of them scuttle off into the fog of war like cockroaches with the light on and the last one plants itself directly onto your hapless little man's forehead.
