TL DR version: you can now pick and choose what you want during peace negotiations. It sounds like an improvement all-told, as much as I'm worried that it's just making a vast number of different points systems more and more intrinsic to the game. The system works a little differently in multiplayer - the bested player can accept or refuse the winner's terms, but must offer a counter-proposal in the event they reject the deal. Most importantly, to my mind, you can now request little or nothing from your bested opponent, rather than be forced to be a greedy conqueror regardless of your play style. All told it's more like a shop than a negotiation, which I worry only amplifies my sense that Rising Tide overlays perhaps too many overtly game-y systems onto the base game - but it does sound better than the like-it-or-lump-it approach of the expansion pre-patch. However, more than likely the other side will have scored a few War Points too, and they can similarly spend it on nabbing some of your stuff, if they can afford it. So long as the spoils add up to the same or less, the other party has to accept the deal. technologies, yields, and cities - exactly what, and how many, is dictated by how many War Points you've scored.
It's a sort of halfway house between new and old, in which the leader who has ostensibly won the war can pick from a buffet of possible reparations from the other. The new patch replaces this system with a revised one known as Spoils Of War. Much as we lamented how little Beyond Earth originally broke with Civilization V tradition, switching things up so that the player had no control over one of the most important aspects of their campaign was, frankly, mad. The other seemed more fundamental - that the game would make its own decisions about what each side offered come peace negotiations, creating bizarre situations such as demanding that your struggling enemy gave up half his cities to you purely to broker peace, even if you didn't want or need them. One of those - that AI allies would not come to your aid in the event of war, but would automatically drag you into any of their conflicts - has been mostly fixed by a patch which arrived around a week after launch. There were, for me, two main issues with Rising Tide's revamped diplomacy system. I hear there's a big new patch intended to address one of your biggest problems what flowers are you bringing to my door this time? You became more alien, less like your dad trying to wear a spacesuit, but gosh, you made a pig's ear of Diplomacy, didn't you? Bugs and bonkers design decisions queered the pitch.īut maybe it's not too late. The Rising Tide expansion, that was a good try.
well, maybe you're fundamentally unlovable.
You work so very hard to make me love you but. Oh, Civilization: Beyond Earth, how sad you make me.
