They did, and there was outrage from the pre-purchasers who paid more than the sale price when the game was only out for a week at the time. Steam had to apologize and gave those who pre-purchased BNW a copy of Civ 4 afaik. Doubt BNW is going on sale again.

That's why you don't play on Continents. It's dumb.


I use the random map one, but it tends to make a pangea map or give the hardest AI's tons of space 90% of the time. Pangea just seems like it'd get boring having no naval combat ever.

Pangaea is the way to go because the AI navel is... well, sad.

I think it was the same with Zoroastarianism, only Persia would pick it up and that would never happen because they rarely go religious. Tengriism too for that matter

BNW? You can get it from GMG with a 30% off voucher GMG30-LY2G6-UKDYY.


Thank you for this, having missed the sale on first day and anxiously checking other places I had completely forgotten GMG. Ah I can already see how I'm cursing tomorrow I didn't see this on Friday.

Okay, I must be stupid, but I can't figure out why I haven't won:
[image loading]

I mean. I threw 6 atom bombs on Sweden because I thought I had won, but the game didn't end when I took Stockholm :/ I even waited a turn. Has the domination VC changed and you now have to actually take everybody else's capital?

/confused.

You have to control all the original capitals to win.

Okay, then fuck Lizzy. She was nagging me for peace before I even took London. Then, when I did, I decided peace was fine. Now I have to wait for the bloody peace treaty to expire so I can capture Thebes and Madrid. I also decided to liberate Memphis, while it would have been the ideal base for that war :/

I checked the ingame civilopedia and it doesn't say this. Was this change documented at all? :/

Peace Treaties have always lasted 10 turns and they warn you when you try to break them that you can't for X remaining turns.

The AI still doesn't trade. Japan and Germany are worthless. City routes are worth more than overland trade routes. Portugal is very weak, the UU and UA are half ass at best. Religious pressure seems borked.

When is the patch coming?

Yay! Won my first game on Diety. Rolled random and got Egypt also on random map, easy and secluded spot sandwiched by two CS's I made allies and never went to war ending in a Diplo victory. Russia was pushing culture hard, but was able to get enough tourism to counter. Started wide with Liberty then grew a tall and well fed capital when I couldn't expand more.

I won a science victory on deity yesterday too, played as Indonesia, unfortunately got only 1 city on river, didn't get to build a single swordsman and there were no other continents/islands to settle cities on. Tried the send-food-to-capital strat with 2 cargo ships and 1 caravan (had only 4 cities) and my capital grew to size 53 by the end of the game, lol.

Yeah, I wasn't clear. I was complaining about the fact that I had signed a peace treaty in the first place, thinking that after taking London, I was done with her and just had to take Stockholm to win. So I had to wait for the silly treaty to end.

@StealthBlue: sea routes are supposed to be better, because they are harder to protect. As for the rest: I'm not sure what the problem is with religious pressure, it seems the same as in G&K. The civs are probably not getting changed, Japan and Germany have been the same since release.

I finally wrapped up my first game with Venice (domination, continents, immortal). Pretty much all of the conquest took place in a fairly short number of turns during the modern and atomic eras. Here are some thoughts:

Late game combat was pretty fun. I used a lot more combined arms than I ever have in a game. The AI does okay at assembling naval forces, but at no point did I see a critical mass of enemy ships that could break my attacks (I had three large attack groups that each had a ton of air support).

Autocracy kinda blows. The 2nd tier tenets are awesome, but the third tier tenets are all forgettable except to the 50-turn attack bonus.

The science pace is really slow compared to G&K.

Having Venice and Austria in the same game is super lame.

The religion spread mechanics seem off.

Submarines are too good.

Maddjinn in his Venice playthrough beelined factories and then picked autocracy for the double spy stealing rate. It seems to work quite well, allowing him to focus on warfare instead of science

Yeah. What the hell is wrong with the AI when it comes to trading? I can offer 5 things, while requesting 1, and they still tell me no. I don't get that at all.
