festival square

[oyuncu]

hi. i cant build festival square. all the surface is stone road. but, i cant place. any idea?

[oyuncu]

nm.. i found it. just make "+" with stone roads to place it..

Yeah, this helps, but why overcomplicate it? Why can't I just place it anywhere I want

[Karonis]

Well, its like it was in the original.
I'm fine with it.

[spielerinchen]

yeah, it's not overcomplicated, it's the original way
& you can't place it "anywhere you want" cause then it wouldn't serve as a central place where the feasts take place

The festival square seems to be bugged. In original priests and entertainers move to the square and celebrate the festival but the remake well the square is pretty empty.

Yeah I came here thinking this was the issue as well.

I can build them, but I've never seen anyone actually use one even if I call a festival

Some of the priests and entertainers have the festival voice lines if clicked but they don´t move to the square. But to fair in the original they don´t have celebrate animation they just walk on it and then disappear.

Why make a remake if you aren't going to take on beautiful opportunities like this to make a game more appealing? Not trying to complain but a lot of these things could have been improved.

I guess this has to be with the game smaller budget. Remember those short render videos in the campaign? Those were great but they didn´t remake or updated them to a higher definition.

With modern AI capabilities this shouldn't be a problem.

I know this isn´t a huge issue but i wish that the devs would improve or should i restore the funtion of Festival Square like in the original.
Also what is the point in building one if you don´t need it for festivals?

To be fair some would argue it is adding to the "charm" I guess.
Because you have to have a layout like this (now with the square and later with the bandstand and pavilion for example) you can't just build everything 5x5 oder 7x7 and have to therefore rethink your complete layout.
It is a trick to avoid simple "bricklaying".

It is not for everyone but many prefer the "original charm" therefore its a decision that was completely up to the developer.


PS: It IS being used for festivals!
Sadly not animated but without it you cant have festivals to please the gods.

Not true, you can have festivalst without the festival square.

With the coming changes in predators protection i would also love if the devs would be improved or restore the festival square like in the original.
