OT's CivBE release party thread

[DaShi]

I agree. They get annoying really fast.

[regexcellent]

Edit the xml so trade routes only renew once every 80 turns and it becomes much less of a hassle

[Sava]

at the very least, making aliens spawn in the fog of war would also be nice

BECAUSE THEY ****ING SPAWN NEXT TO ME UNITS ALL THE FGUCKING TIME

[Sava]

this is going to be my last game until they fix this

I'm spending all my time playing whack a mole with goddam aliens
and then reestablishing all my routes
and establishing them again when aliens kill them

[Sava]

the last 2 hrs I've only gotten through 40 turns

[Sava]

turn 341
i just saved



i don't want to load it again


20 hrs of play time seems to be when the things I hate about a game outweigh what makes it fun

Dude just build a fence, after a few turns you get a quest option that makes your trade convoys invincible to aliens

first playthrough turn 321 is when I won

Build the alien fence building --> choose correctly in the quest popup --> ??? --> PROFIT

[Sava]

WHAT IS THE NAME OF IT

I DONT KNOW WHAT IT IS

THE CIVILIOpedia is crap too

unless you know what you are looking for by name, GOOD LUCK

[Sava]

is it the fence that stops them from getting within 2 spaces?

[Sava]

civbe late game makes sava angry

[Nikolai]

is it the fence that stops them from getting within 2 spaces?

Yes

[Sava]

I WILLT RY IT MAYBE TOMORROW

oh i've noticed some strange AI behavior

a few sea units get "stuck" around the ice at the top and bottom of the map... they just move back and forth between two tiles endlessly

also

another faction had some suped up tank that was kicking alien ass

then, it got stuck

a manticore attacked it via ranged for 1 damage
the tank healed instead of attacking
next turn, manticore attacks again
tank decides to heal

this was happened for about a dozen turns before I moved my unit out of visual range, so as to not constantly be forced to watch the idiotic battle over and over again

[Sava]

Yes

I've gone through almost two full playthroughs and not seen any mention of this in the game... any where


nice job informing the player, civbe


just in case you aren't aware
that's sarcasm

i wouldn't want to be confused with actually complimenting firaxis


maybe i will tomorrow when i'm not game raging

[Sava]

I gotta say though, civbe's combat is great

1upt haters need to get with the program
it's much more refined
(though, i think keeping 1upt but having the ability to combine units may be a good alternative... or maybe recruiting would have its own submenu in the city screen and a unit can only recruit while it's in a city... training barracks could be a tile improvement that "produces" units)

I wish there was a bit more customization of units
I like choosing between certain perks
but it seems like they gutted the promotion system in general
which is
would be nice to have option to increase sight
I have to move one space at a time always
for fear of bumping into a random kraken
