Good discussion. However, with any civilization genre game, you will have some abstraction. I understand the concerns you all have. Nonetheless, I feel like the main motivations for firaxis should have been more pronounced in the conversation. Representation - especially highlighting civs that have not been included before , gameplay improvements like engagement throughout the entirety of the game and balance. By breaking the game up in ages and not having to balance a civ to be balanced throughout the entirety of them game. Like a late game, civs have less interesting and harder time in the early game. I feel like all three of these considerations are far better for gameplay and enjoyment. Noting that representation and diversity are extremely difficult while juggling the historical accuracy. I trust them to do a great job, and it appears that though their connectivity with historical legacy for many civs might be more loose each civ. The specific history and nuisances are far more developed and researched for each civ in the game. I will take all of these improvements over the 'true', heirs, or successors, which, who is all true successor, can be already difficult to define already, anytime. Again , those mentioned points were brought up briefly they were not considered enough, i feel.

Even though I don't build many wonders, some of your low rated ones are among the few I build. 3:40 Sydney Opera House is great when I run 6 or less cities w/audience chamber build. Not enough music slots. 5:20 I run Great Library when I do 2 campus in the ancient era and then focus theatre squares in classical. No more campuses until late game. 8:20 Like Opera House. Critical for tall audience chamber games.

This is all very interesting! Have you guys considered emailing Dr. Johnson about some of your concerns about civ switching?

Your content too underrated, keep up the great work bro! 👌

How come they never gave Araby a desert bias? Too stereotypical?

City patron goddess is a favorite of mine, helps a lot with getting commercial hubs up and then internal trade routes help quickly build up cities

Nice title.

is "You couldn't beat a Salad in a fight " an ERB reference?

They could have added "all healing is boosted by 20%" to his combat bonus. It would have been thematic at least.

In my opinion, they forgot the AI. You barley need any units to win a war and what you can do with one city, the opponent needs at least 6 or 7... Also the civilization characteristics and those leaders (?) you randomly get are very inconsequential. Nothing you build or achieve feels very impactful.

Abundant resources?

Also - the title of this video is so money

Ara is an extremely ambitious game that is let down by an equally extreme lack of QA. Aside from crafting, there's not really any depth to the wide breadth of features. It's funny. I played Humankind finding myself wishing I could could play Civ V with Humankind's combat system and diplomatic systems. Now I wish I could do the same thing, but with Ara's city building and crafting system attached. The 4X genre is better on the whole for Ara having illustrated that a more in depth economy is feasible, but needs a lot more work to really tie everything together in a neat little package.

ARA is really bad in so many ways. Worst of was the build-up where we were promised so much and drove our expectations high only to endup with a game made to accommodate the production chain, rather than an actual 4X game. It feels like a game made for accountants by a team of accountants who never played any game in the past 20 years and are competing with the first civ game by only making things look prettier.

i dont think synchronous turns is that big of a deal tbh. its just not usual, and I like that i dont need to constantly reload cause i missclicked again.

ara could be a great game, if they take what they have and get qol to work. especially the research speed, is ridiculous as most late game content is irrelevant as by the time you've produced any of it the game is over. the cumbersome crafting is so micro heavy if you want to play it efficiently, and you really notice that it was released way too soon. this games could be awesome and that's what annoys me most.

I love the game it sounds like you did not take any time to learn the mechanics, yes it has flaws but every civ game had huge problems at launch.

You summed it up so well! Especially the lack of flavour is a major problem I had… I don’t even know how to talk about history related to this game since the history seems to be so surface level and not deeply intertwined with the game (and that’s why each leader/nation feels the same imo).

This was 100% written by AI

GVD you got it Zondy. It was SUPER ambitious and they got too focused on the micro, hence the nano! The result was a flat feeling game big picture. Humankind was the opposite to me, too big picture and less mechanics, not counting the unnecessary war sim level battle system. The artwork was pretty mobile game too. Fair enough they had a great engine and managed a lot of detail, but everything was samey and hard to read and digest. But I rank it higher than Millennia for sure.

What an unfortunate game this is.

I'm glad I tried it on gamepass, game is not horrible but certainly not worth 60USD.

Citrus gives a Military production bonus because it's used to combat Scurvy, that bane of sailors and soldiers.

Very good clip

Omw to beat this sub 200 brb

How about a civ music theme tierlist?

I may like hanging gardens a bit too much, at this point I build it more than monuments

Good job getting to 2k subs 🎉

Your tier list is smoking crack

Good news if you've been keeping up with the challenges on Discord. I finally got round to posting the ones that were missing up to this one, that's nine challenges waiting for you in the server.

The Babylonian sabum kibittum has 3 sight, the scout only has 2? Big advantage for early game scouting. More first meets, more huts, more wonders found - tons of era score from all this too. Also giving 4 score just for being built. Feels like a guaranteed ancient era golden age all on its own. Never E. U crazy

Salty about salt

Will you play the updated version?

i think you overrated mount everest. more often than not, its adjacent tiles are mountains and its bonuses are very lackluster. D tier IMO. rest of the wonders I agree with solidly. in fact when I start games, I have presets for the natural wonders to exclude and they include most of the F tier ones. perhaps you can explain why you rate everest so high, the category inclusion isn't sufficient justification for me. cheers!

Just stumbled on this channel after seeing your Liang video. Loving your content!
