I understand the marketing reasons for placing women on these gaming panels, but is it really too much to ask to get one who either can actually contribute something meaningful to the conversation or simply shut up? The girl in that second demo video is spectacularly obnoxious and uninformed. You would think that if someone was going to pay her to be present, that they might expect her to know something (re: anything) about what was being discussed.

Does returning barb-captured workers/settlers to ai do anything for you? Like any consequences/rewards from them if you take it or return it.

You get a diplomacy bonus for doing it. You can see what your relations are and the reasons for them when you mouse over the diplomacy status (Friendly/guarded/etc) in the diplomacy/trade screen with a given leader. Frankly, it almost is never worth it to return workers or settlers. Hobbling the AI and gaining workers from captured workers/settlers is basically always the better option -- especially in the early game.

When you do that, you will get a diplomatic bonus - the AI will like you more, basically.

It does have some impact on the game, but often not immediately obvious. Furthermore, as far as I know, diplomatic bonuses (as well as penalties) decay as time goes on, so if you saved Alex's worker on turn 50, he may still denounce you 100 turns later.

Well damn, can't play this game for now I think. Thought I had solved the problem with my pc shutting down by cranking up my case fans, but maybe not. I fear my cpu has sustained terrible terrible damage from this game lol (and it's only 1 yr old).

If it belonged to a CS, you are guaranteed a friendship and usually even get allied. This may boost your empire a lot more than the hammers for a single worker.

That Lady Gaga segway was cringe-worthy. You can tell Ed just wants to talk about the game

edit: hmmm.... looks pretty interesting. Congress looks cool on the demo. I dont get what tourism is for. I They probably buff up the military policy because waging war against other civs damages that good food and productions from trades. How I wish there's Philippines if Indonesia is rumored out.

I think Tourism was added just for filler...

Dev 1: Hey what can we add that is new but doesn't require any out of the box thinking and wouldn't piss off the UI programmers?

Dev 2: Does it have to be somewhat realistic?

Dev 1: No.

Dev 2: Tourism. All the UI team have to do is get rid of the advisers button which nobody uses and copy the font, and color of the faith icons and rename it tourism and treat it like mini golden ages. Then slap a half finished panel stolen from the buildings UI and tada!

Dev 1: Fuck yeah!

Dev 2: Fuck yeah!


Also Brazil's UU is a WW2 soldier... Eh?

Haha. I like the idea of being able to micromanage your economy more (a la civ4) than just trading luxuries. All I really hope for is a stable, fast multiplayer where we can save games and load them.

Anything is bound to be an improvement to the current culture game. I just wish they would make borders contestable again.

I hope the world congress doesn't turn into some kind of farce where the AI all ends up hating you on immortal + deity (for balance ...). Also I hope they do fix the trees a bit. At the moment, Tradition => Rationalism => Order (with two points in Patronage for free friendship to all city states) is a bit broke =\.

Isn't that what the AI already does late game no matter what the difficulty?

Yes but the World Congress makes it sound like something where the AI can just change the rules at a whim. Like, HEY TRADE EMBARGO ON YOU! =(

Don't worry Firaxis would never develop a functioning, let alone half-ass one, AI.

As if Firaxis would ever take the time to develop a functioning AI, or even a half assed one at that.

It seems like a civ designed to play catch-up on deity. You don't exactly want to be at war that often with a more technologically advanced civ to take advantage of that ability.

My thoughts. It's going to be better the higher the difficulty is. In multiplayer it might turn out really good, because early aggression will pay off even more than usual.
