Reddit is fucking stupid.

I hope every one of those people gets kidney stones.

I don't get it. I have a family member that has had to do PC upgrades just to play Civ. That shits fucking stupid. I love them going to a more scalable art style instead of jerking it to hyper realistic graphics in a series that inherently has a massive level of abstraction to it.

The only component I want to be under load playing a Civ game is CPU.

Nice to see the cult of graphics is still going strong. Gameplay, genre, story, mechanics, all are as dust before the PC Master Race and their beloved visuals.

Fenrir · « **Reply #1230 on:** May 12, 2016, 10:56:32 PM »

I kinda agree with them?
The complaints are less about how many graphics and more about art style, and the art style is indeed a lot more like a generic mobile game's than Civ 5's was

And I definitely think that people who complained about Wind Waker were being idiots

Excal · « **Reply #1231 on:** May 12, 2016, 11:01:11 PM »

The graphics look like Civ4.

Anyways, the changes to the game itself look interesting. I like the idea of building your civic improvements onto the map and the idea of your interactions with the map influencing what techs you're good at researching. Namely, a coastal seafaring civ should be better at discovering navigation than a land power with maybe a single port.

Fenrir · « **Reply #1232 on:** May 12, 2016, 11:17:36 PM »

Oh man no way. Civ 4 is more similar to 5.

Look at the trees, mountains, and hyper-colorfulness of the roofs compared to this:

Grefter · « **Reply #1233 on:** May 12, 2016, 11:43:23 PM »

So you know what comes from that element right? More visual noise on the map. So you need to be able to design improvements that people can tell apart on sight. Possibly through units on the map.

This art style shift works better for that than pushing harder on the realism front.

Fenrir · « **Reply #1234 on:** May 13, 2016, 01:00:39 AM »

I don't think you could convince any Civ fan unsatisfied with the more Clash of Clans-y art style, that it is all worth it because you can maybe tell things apart a little more, in a turn based game

Anyway I'm just saying that Reddit has a lot worse people than those. Try this subreddit lol

Just because something is turn-based doesn't mean quality of life improvements to available information aren't important.

Also nobody claimed this was the worst of Reddit, just that the comments are stupid (which they are. In case you missed it, someone literally compared Clash of Clans-esque aesthetics to swastikas).

Visual clarity in tabletop gaming is considered super important! And the vast majority of those are definitely turn based.

Cotigo · « **Reply #1237 on:** May 13, 2016, 05:26:24 AM »

I support the move toward visual clarity. I am sure a non insignificant percentage of my time playing Civ has been going, did I get any fucking Iron/Coal/Oil after researching them because the relevant icons and tile changes just don't pop for me and blend into the map too well. I don't need to look at impressive realistic cities in my civ game, I got Cities Skylines for that. I need to take less time taking my turns so I am not up until 6am playing a single game and not finishing.

The real question is if they'll make AI not suck at water units so I have a reason to play any mode except Pangaea.

Dark Holy Elf · « **Reply #1238 on:** May 13, 2016, 06:53:58 AM »

Zenny needs those time optimizations so he's only staying up until 5:30 am, thank you very much.

Grefter · « **Reply #1239 on:** May 13, 2016, 07:53:42 AM »

He might finish the game at 6:30 instead but yeah.

Cotigo · « **Reply #1240 on:** May 13, 2016, 09:24:36 AM »

lets be honest sometimes re-rolling for a good starting position the game doesn't even start until 3am

But you repeat yourself.

I at least play Emperor / Immortal unlike some Scrubby Users Providing Endless Revery And Instantly Endless Laughs, MAN.

Anthony Edward Stark · « **Reply #1243 on:** May 16, 2016, 12:54:33 AM »

Looks like Endless Legend to me and that's the best thing I can say about a game

terrible waste of time. +15% bonus to units fighting in friendly territory? he should have been building a pop up ancient pyramids for the tile improvement bonus, or maybe a popup petra if he spawned in a desert location.

Old news but I just saw it: Breyer with the sickest burn.

Quote

Breyer gets uncharacteristically frustrated when Burton advances the argument that the uncovered race-frantic juror notes were actually the prosecutors’ pre-emptive effort to comply with Batson, anticipating a future Batson hearing. This is a tricky argument to offer, given, as Foster’s lawyers note, that the state is only now arguing for the first time that the racially coded notes and lists were in anticipation of a Batson challenge. Or as Breyer puts it, referring to the prosecutor’s alleged strategy of noting race in advance of a Batson challenge, “If that had been his real reason, isn’t it a little surprising that he never thought of it?”

(Today the case was decided 7-1 in favor of throwing out the verdict. Tryhard Thomas dissented, because he doesn't see race.)

Shale · « **Reply #1247 on:** May 24, 2016, 12:44:40 PM »

Sadly the only precedent it really sets is "Prosecutors: Don't leave notes for your racially discriminatory practices where you say HERE'S WHERE I'M DISCRIMINATING BY RACE." But it's still better than not setting that precedent.
