Ah yes. Had to jump through some hoops (updating nvidia driver...), but now it looks fixed. I guess it doesn't matter that I don't know what's up with the different renderer backends...

I just put it here: 11. The Greek philosopher Plato's real name is unknown, as "Plato" is his wrestling nickname. 16. Plato’s name is actually a nickname that means ‘broad’. It was given to him on account of his handsome, robust and well-built figure. 17. Plato won Pankration in the Olympics twice, a form of fighting that only bars gouging and biting. https://www.ebaumsworld.com/pictures/plato-x-facts-about-historys-most-famous-teacher/87276581/

Yup. (OpenGL was flickering.)

The rim of the map on Lion's Den is detached.

Our alphas have a name and a number. Currently the release candidate (RC) for the next version, A27, is being tested.

Yeah, that's a known issue. I, too, would go for a "beta", just for "marketing". But alas, the powers that be here obviously like the "alpha" ...

I do think it's a skill thing. I play with one ally and four medium enemies, and neither me nor my ally die; even if I'm the favorite enemy of all my enemies. And I'm not the world's best player. This is not to discourage you but instead encourage you that it gets better as you get better.

According to the logs?

Maybe this whole "improved farming animation" thing would be better situated in a dedicated thread.

Do you have a crash to report?

That would be ok, but generally rules are in place for a reason and they should be enforced without regard to the person. If anything, I could make the argument that it's more important to enforce them with a high-profile person than with a nobody that no one even knows or notices. But I don't have any beef with Yekatarina, so I'm not really invested in the outcome.

Ah yes, some people are more equal than others.

You announced your departure several times. That doesn't mean I don't believe you mean it this time. I wish you could find a way with less drama. And separate certain things; like stuff in the lobby, ideas about gameplay... Anyway, best to you.

You have to press "c" + right click now. You know, if you only get that sword symbol, your units are just going to (try to) destroy it.

I would refuse to play in your cubic hellscape as well. During regular gameplay I could capture towers and other buildings just fine.

A bus stop with a garden!

- I'm absolutely no fan of the change in the default behavior of units attacking buildings. - The tooltip doesn't change when you send batches of resources (to an ally); it used to ~count up, "...500...", "...1000..." ... Edit: I think it just looks different...

Yup, Windows 8.

I find it irritating that map eye candy/clutter (non selectable/harvestable) can obscure units; it won't show silhouettes either. Here it's Rhine Valley (Fall). Edit: I also find it irritating if zooming messes with the silhouettes.

Ah ja. Changed it from OPENGL and the flickering immediately stopped.

OS? Did it install? Are there logs?

Just guessing until someone more knowledgeable comes along: did you look into the trickle mechanics? Don't know if you can set it to "100y every 1min" or something.

You'd rather have an expensive technology than just build a few more houses? I must admit, I don't really understand the occupation with housing.

It's only a few civs that have small houses. And as far as I'm aware a lot of players consider it to be economically beneficial.

I still don't know what vulkan is, and who it's for. Immediately after starting this version, I noticed the screen is flickering intermittently.
