This game has a feature called "player culling", which means after a certain ingame time (era) a specific amount of civilizations/empires will simply dissapear because they dont have enough prestige points. This can also happen to the player by the way. The player can turn this feature off but only for the player: the AI will always get culled and this leads to an incredibly empty late game. I cant get my head around how former Firaxis programmers went ahead with such a pointless feature.

As someone Pointed out in the comments I made a slight mistake here, Towns and Cities have a cap! Apparently, my confusion came from an earlier Videos where Towns did not count towards that topic, but at least now do! That is clearly a miss on my end, and I apologize for that.

I thought it was a settlement cap, and both towns and cities count towards it

Teshekur🇹🇷🇹🇷

ARA is the game I never knew I needed. So much fun and relaxing.

Tbh the only thing I like more in Civ is there are more winning conditions, hope they add something like that.

Turmbased

Keep it up!

Please more ara content. Just subbed.

I agree with everything. Please more ara content

Interesting game. Any chance of a run down of the factions? How is the AI in this? Good to play against? What are victory conditions. Thanks in advance

Thanks for the review. Excellent game and nice evolution of Gladius.

History keeps getting told

So, with the release of the 1.1 Invisible hand patch, how would you rank the new Canadian Leader, and would you change any of your other rankings based on buffs or nerfs?🤔

I’m still confused with the whole leaders and choosing a civ during the ages. The example is your leader Isabella and for antiquity civ you pick Rome. Do you get Roman legions/bonus? Then exploration age pick Spain. But is it possible to go from Spain to Japan ? Can you pick any civ during the ages or only ones that could make sense?

Nooooo!! My money farms!! This game was my answer to all those adults that said 'money doesn't grow on trees' :/

Wait a second - what is the point to crafting Heavy Plows now if they give the exact same harvest production boost as the standard plow? Am I missing something?

All units returning to the capital sounds like exploitable in the middle of a war. Like, someone triggers the next age and the entire frontline is secured for the defensive player.

It's even better when you start with just a settler and a scout...

This is the kind of game that needs a few more patches before i jump back into it.

so..after you said outposts can make you money like 3-4 times, in the end it turns out they *cannot* make you any money lol xD why make a video with clearly incorrect information and i'd say generally pretty bad advice all way around the only thing is to place outpost on a next to a gold mine province and where you may want a city later outposts are generally expensive and a money sink (150g each with work camp) and should be places strategically for exploitation of rare resources or to prevent enemies from expanding. they do not provide income from food, draft, production (outpost feel kind of half assed in this game)

I can't agree more with the pathing. It's a game changer, but it is also frustrating that there are nodes that snap to an invisible grid. Of course snapping to existing paths can be a good thing, but sometimes you don't want that because it won't let you place a path where you should be able to. The other annoying thing with pathing is that it also means guests can walk anywhere.... through scenary. We need barriers! But according to Frontier those barriers simply being a scenary item is "working as designed" and until they change that behaviour, I just don't want to play the game.

This is a great example or a bad decission that you carry so far than fixing it it's almost like remaking half of the game. No simple patch is gonna fix the game. It needs redesigning core aspects with tons of other things hanging from those which will break and blablabla. They may expect hell after launch.

One thing that bugs me with every 4x games and its very unrealistic is animal farming. Pigs, cows, horses, etc. should not be bound to one region/tile, it’s not like us humans can’t move animals around the globe to make it more comfortable farming. I should not have a damn pig farm surrounded by skyscraper’s, schools, and universities.

...bruv say what you will, but your voice is soothing and a comfort among so many guide channels. Also thank you for finally answering how I build an outpost!

Idk if it’s changed but rimworld did have a really good mod for multiplayer.

You should also emphasize that goods slotted as supplies (vice amenities and as ingredients) don't get consumed.

I stumbled on indoor stoves by accident and OMG that fertility boost!

For some reason I skipped the furniture recipe so I can't tell you when you can get it... but all my dwellings and upgrades have rugs from the weaver and it's a wonderful substitute actually. I don't remember when it comes in, maybe low medievel?, but it gives +3 health which really adds up, and makes rather quickly. I don't use ships much so I don't really use my weavers for fabrics (in my current game that in fact is another recipe I skipped and cannot find into the end of act 2 lol and by now it's worthless) so free up a few weavers and pump out rugs by the handful is what I say. Things I don't need much of, like fabric or looms, I trade for. You indeed need fabrics for certain triumphs, but you don't really need to invest your weavers into them... I may even add candles to that list as the cpu always has them and you can basically always use them. Don't waste your slot. Unless you're playing at a very high level (or as France) and you get no trades. note, industrial tools adds CRAFTING production whereas metal tools focuses on HARVEST production. Thus there is no upgrade for industrial tools on your mines or logging camps, ind tools don't have that ability at all!

Good advices, thanks bro

i doubt if many of these assets will be available on standard addition. like skylines. it will be a micro fest. mark my words.

This removes the caps that appeared in cities of level 28 upwards, right?

so you but outposts next to goldore

Hey thanks for the video. Good to see the devs tweaking this cracker of a game. I cant wait for 1.1

i encountered it with Health - it was stuck at 85% and I could not make it any highter no matter what I put

Good to know that these patches only apply to new saves. I've been playing my same save from launch and thought, hmmm things feel the same

In my first play of the game I found out that my citys who went above lvl26 and got a few stats lowerd to 85 and I was unable to get higher so that was the behind the curtain cap I gues, I was unable to find something on google about it. thx for the video :D now I know :)

This list mostly showcases how unintuitive the game mechanics are. When I hear that Assyria is good because of the 25% bonus for workshops, I have to shake my head. At first glance, 25% sounds good. Yes, a quarter more! When you look closer, it's quite irrelevant. IBecause it's not a quarter more, far from it. After all, most of the production for items doesn't come from the workshop itself. It comes from items, mostly input-items but also the supply items. Neither of which are touched by the 25% bonus. All the bonus is good for is to act as an additional neolithic tools slot. Not even a rope or metal tools. Merely neolithic tools. Most of the time it will amount to a total %increase in the low-to-very-low single digits, 3%-5% of the actual production numbers. That's as far from "insane" as it can get IMHO. It may save you a single workshop throughout the game.

I do not agree with hardcap on city grow, i prefer that softcap, its much more logical, Its like saying no problem, you can have megacity one, but expect to have judge dredds all over it as people will be unhappy :D

I just hope they'll fix scalling of tech to number of turns set for a game, to be able to have longer games where you can play more within specific eras.

I played few games in Ara, one finished and this game has huge amount of issues. One that made me really angry was when 2 tritemes almost killed my battleship (this is not Civ I from 30 years ago!!!) or 3 archers almost killing my tank. Or 9 armies with 70% life was killed by 3 archers with 100% life. Combat is a joke. But I wanted to give it another try on higher difficulty (8 of 10 because on lower diff the game has no difficulty at all), I started it and I just couldnt play. I just can't do so much work again to set up everything in cities. I doubt I will play this game again, which is shame because I always wanted to have crafting and trading in Civ.

Its meh, I got it to fill in the time before Civ 7. It worked for about 10hrs 🤣🤣🤣.

My problems with the game have nothing to do with the game coming out 6 months early. It’s the micro managing of resources in the late game. Until that is sorted or refined, this game is dead in the water.

I'd be very curious to know how you got a city to 40, as when I try to build housing beyond 30 it just goes to waste and the cap remains 30.

Note, they have fixed the Weaver Item after I recorded the Video, does not change anything of what I said :)

If its very open to modders then the game can thrive. Balance issues can be solved or changed anyway. 1.0.5 is playable.

I agree it is released at least 6 months too early.

in CIV6 there is the same problem with fast research, you start a seige with catapults and finish it with cannons...

Disagreed 🤬.

But u evolve in a similar civ or can you chance in every thing u want?
