Interdimensional Observer Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 (edited) A few of the Civ VI final "2/3rds of all civilizations" rebalances have been revealed. Spain is better now! El Escorial applying to religious units now makes it more of balanced Domination-Religious civ, if not Byzantium good. Yet Spain still needs to rush to found a religion because no bonuses towards that, it's the biggest issue I have. Treasure Fleets has been improved, it's still not incredible, but it's a lot better than what it has been. I'd have preferred if it applied solely to domestic trade routes for realism's sake, since Spain controlled the entire from New World to Old and back colonial trade flow. Doing domestics to get their now-easier-to-get-off-the-ground cities on other continents is a fine idea. Khmer got a mix of upgrades and debatable redesigns. Jayavarman VII major adjacency bonus for Holy Sites on rivers that he needed. No bonus to Aqueduct construction, yet Faith from its ginormous populations is cool. The Domrey isn't so bad anymore. Now that Catapults upgrade into new Trebutchets, and Domreys replace the Trebuchets, and Domreys are stronger than Trebuchets when they used to be weaker than Catapults. Not sure of the exact numbers, but this does mean that if you save your Gold and churn out the Catapults, you can promote into a mobile army of city-destroying ballista elephants come the Medieval era. It looks like the Prasat lost both its second Relic slot and granting of the Missionaries the Martyr promotion. There goes the Khmer's Relinquaries blitz to Culture Victory in ~100 turns.🙁 That is the price Khmer has paid with Prasats now granting +10 Tourism with 10 Population once Flight has been researched, increasing to +20 Tourism if you grow a Khmer city so big. Growing to 20 pop should be no problem at all for this empire. And +0.5 Culture per population in a city with a Prasat is nifty, if a little late in coming. It's sad to see that Khmer aren't the Relic-worshippers that were their sole strong point prior to this upcoming update, even if they're stronger overall. Because Poland is haphazardly designed and thus bad (though good in the base game, it's the expansions which nerfed it), I hope Saint Jadwiga got Khmer's old Relic powers instead. Someone should take them. Canada gets +2 Food from farming Tundra now instead of the usual +1. Mines and Lumber Mills in Tundra get +2 Production and Camps +2 Food instead of the hitherto bonus of +1. And, Mounties can found 2 National Parks instead of 1. Not the best buffs, it'll still be bad to start entirely in Tundra as Canada until you get a Builder out the door, but it helps. Georgia gets Faith from killing units, anywhere, anytime, any circumstances, which is better than that Liberation War Faith bonus it had, if very simplistic. It opens the door to an aggressor Georgia now, factoring in the new Men-At-Arms unit which makes the Khesvur better. I'm wishful that this means a boost for Gorgo. Her lone ability is Culture on kills, Tamar has that and double Envoys to City-States with your religion. Gorgo wants something, and a City-State bonus would suit her actually, given her Greece of Classical Antiquity was all City-States. Ideally something war-oriented to separate Gorgo from Pericles's Culture boost, Matthias and probably-sorta-kinda-maybe Gilgamesh can make room for another Leader Who Dominates Using City-State Troops. Mapuche I'm wary of, but the Chemamull +1 Production ought to help their earlygame. I'll have to try using them once or twice now, and see how they good they are with their entire kit barring the Malon Raiders in some way bettered . They've the been the worst of the worst up until now. Huge True Start Location Earth map sounds great too. The current official Standard-sized one is tooooooooo small! Japan and England & Scotland suffocate on it. May the new map be a good one. Overall, this pleases me and I'm hoping for more goodness.

But hey, I’m not the biggest LP person... Two things: First, it only started in the most recent part. Second, it's actually kinda simple enough to understand what's currently going on because things got cut down a bit after Berwick and there's not much going with it's integration so far. You can ask what you need to know in the thread too, or here (I'll put it in spoilers, no fretting here.). SGW is pretty constant with it's plot though, doesn't really slow down.

Ah yes, that sweet, sweet Serenes revenue of air. Quote An FE let’s play where someone doesn’t die to a 1% grit is no FE let’s play at all. Okay, that is true, but it wasn't always bad things, actually. It just seems that most of the times I say something, good or bad, the RNGoddess immediately maneuvers to contradict me. It's amazing, in a way. 6 minutes ago, Benice said: Hey, at least there were a few good jokes... And also the fact that he'd post more of that character's dialogue when it's not relevant. Honestly, if it was just the Arknights spam I could've endured it. Most often it was completely irrelevant, but he did post a few things that made me laugh from time to time. If he'd listened to me and exercised some restraint on the amount of posts, it would've been fine. The main problem, really, was the he was an unbearable, condescending, petty asshole that refused to listen and believed he was always right about everything. Not... not unlike Volcens, actually. Huh. When you think about it that way, it's a rather interesting parallel between the game and its LP. We had a Volcyboy of our own!
