So is this game dead or is the devs gonna actually save this game?

[Ajbuck13]

this Game hasn't gotten an update in 7 months and no dlcs in almost a year, there is still glaring issues that have been in the game since day one and not a peep from the devs, not even on their website. i hate the state the game is in because this had some serious potential, but the bugs, server issues, horrible ai and everything else really caused this game to just die

Just bought this game,but dev said in June that something is coming and again same thing said a few weeks ago by one of the devs. Im guessing it will be pretty big if they have been this secret on it. Honestly with Civ7 coming out and stealing ALOT of ideas its a great time to release something for people that want to play something similar.

they stole only one idea, the changing cultures thing, but hk stole the monopoly system along with the district system, a many small other ideas from civ.

tbf they didn't just get the changing cultures.

Civ 7 has also changed into a similar district style of human kind so tall cities are looking to be in favor there too. They also took the war support system from humankind. There were small bits here and there too e.g. have both leaders on opposite sides of the screen when opening diplomacy rather than the previous Civ games.

I don't think I mind whether or not they take ideas tho. More wondering if they can pull it off better than humankind

(these are based from what I remember the ign dive video in gamescom)

Amplitude had introduced the city district system in Endless Legend, which was released before Civ 6. so Civ 7 will be the second time that Firaxis has cribbed mechanics from Amplitude.

If you want to know why this whole 'stealing' discussion makes no sense, Warlock: Master of the Arcane came out before EL and also had unstacked cities.

The games tend to learn from each other and if they're sane, they put their own original twist on mechanics they like and emulate (unless they're AAA, AAAA, or whatever amount of letters they want to call themselves nowadays, then it's just safe bets and mindless trend chasing). We should honestly see it as a welcome change that between HK, AoW4, Millenia and now Civ 7, modular empires are starting to become sort of a genre inside a genre and personally I'm excited for how the whole system will evolve.

That being said, I'd also be against touting how HK took anything from Civ, it's much more EL than Civ and Amplitude's insistence on reinventig the wheel (for better AND for worse) when it comes to 4X staples is what made a lot of people bounce off, not only from HK but also their other titles. On the flipside, I imagine that's also why they have a pretty solid, even if not large, fanbase.

last expansion a year ago, last update 7 months ago, this game didnt get a chance to stand on its own two feat because they didn't add any cultures we wanted, they kept adding obscure cultures or cultures that didnt really do much. like where is the holy roman empire, where is sengoku japan, where is heian japan, where is aragon, where is portugal where is 1700s-1800s america? its crazy how bare the game really was on launch, and they have done next to nothing about it

No, it didn't, it really didn't.

The framework for this game is clearly visible from their previous titles, endless legend & endless space, it's almost like a reskin of their old games, with the same resources and mechanics, plus a few twists.

The only thing this game has in common with Civ is having a historical background, instead of scifi or fantasy.
