OT's CivBE release party thread

that sucks reg

were you using a mod of any kind?

also, do you have a savegame from right before the victory? you can always load that and try it again

[regexcellent]

No mods, and yeah I tried that

I dunno maybe I'll just conquer everyone

I like the scifi references in the names. I got "So Say We All" for maxing purity

need to figure out how to rename top tier jets "vipers"

Late game botes are nuts. You can mega**** cities by bombarding them from 3 tiles away.

How the **** do I build the exodus gate? I have 13 purity and ****, and the requisite tech.

Check the Quest screen? (I haven't tried for that yet.)

AI's navy can't move and then shoot it seems.

So...I just went through the XML file with the quest text keys. The contact victory is...uh, underwhelming. A whole five paragraphs of flavor text. Yippee. Some epic story that is.

[Wiglaf]

Would you recommend the game reg? It's not that $50 means anything to me, it's that I want to decide whether this is worth playing/reviewing. To be clear: $50 means nothing to me. I am independently wealthy.

[regexcellent]

Yeah, I recommend it. It's a ton of fun in spite of the flaws in inherited from Civ V.

Edit to not doublepost: in case anyone's wondering how much this game is basically mod of Civ V, it has a bunch of vestigial Lua scripts and XML files like one for Religion text keys in spite of not having religion.

[Aeson]

Yah, they didn't clean out all the old V stuff that isn't used. Lots of icons from Civ V too.

I'm posting a compilation of Building Quests on the wiki:

Anyone know where/how to access some sort of trade route summary screen? The only way I've found to check how many trade routes I have/need is to change the origin of the trade unit.

Does the UI list this somewhere obvious that I am missing? wtf

[regexcellent]

No village was ever ruined by trade. Bull shit, you're from Africa, think a little harder dufus.

i only just figured out how to get the building queue to work. also, it'd be super nice if it showed how long my workers/explorers had to do their thing when i mouse over them.
