I just tried to resign from a sp game and nothing happened. If that's intended behavior I think the button should get an appropriate tooltip.

Deconstructing Hip Hop music
Gurken Khan replied to Pemulis's topic in Introductions & Off-Topic Discussion
I don't know whether you consider Sugarhill Gang Rap or Hip Hop, but as far as I'm aware their Rapper's Delight was the first hit from that corner; and I wouldn't consider that song overly socio-political. So I wouldn't agree with that simple timeline. How about folk rock in the anti-war movement in the US? You are free to say that. Though that notion wouldn't find much support. -
I envy you.

@Obelix For me it looks like it works for guarding a unit.

I know nothing about these things, but if you take an existing thing, rename and import it: does that work?

I usually build twin towers and man them, then get the extra arrow pretty early. Murder holes is next, then the extra reach when I can spare the metal. All depending who I am and what my situation is; sometimes, when there's no traffic at my borders (or I'm iber), I never build or upgrade stone towers myself and just do it later when I captured something. I hardly ever get the other two tecs, if I do it's extra arrow per garrison before (if ever) the extra health.

@Deicide4u I always get them, but don't know if SP counts.

It does.

Maybe? Just looking for a convenient place where it will be seen/addressed.

I wanted to make an April Fools' joke here, but apart from adding words like microtransactions and NFTs I don't think I can really top that comment.

Units die too quickly: Melee units have too little armour
Gurken Khan replied to Seleucids's topic in Gameplay Discussion
Just wanted to say that I, too, think units die too quickly in this version. Taking way more losses capturing CCs for example than I used to. -
Archaeological potpourri

More about the dagger from my first post (and alien glass): -
@Tike I don't know why you weren't sent here, but this is the place for your complaint. (Read the instructions in the opening post...)

So researching the specific tec does give the player a bonus - Silk Road is still utter shite. First of all, unlike all other team bonuses the player does not profit from it themself; second, the bonus from the spec tec is so minuscule that the game would need to last for hours to pay off. The "20% bonus" is a bonus only of the bonus. So I paid 1,000 res for - in this case - 2 extra res per trip. Who would argue that that's a good deal? (And I don't care about neutral competitors; don't know if anybody does.)

Release 28 - searching for a name
Gurken Khan replied to Grautvornix's topic in Game Development & Technical Discussion
I think that sounds good. But we should have his folks included by then. -
While most civs' hero names follow "native name (anglicized name)" han, iber and rome differ; I think it would be nicer if it were consistent.

@Classic-Burger I agree, but there's not always the choice.
-
They're not viewed too friendly around here and at least for vanilla it was decided to use none. But I believe @wowgetoffyourcellphone uses some for Delenda Est.

Do chariots really have to be that fat? Feels like many QoM (Quality of Misery) measures over time, en masse since RC2. Some trees or houses and my heroine isn't where she's supposed to half the time; here she's stuck on a citizen. It's agonizing to frequently watch my champions take the scenic route around a mountain or something...
