Slider Discussions

[unmerged(9563)]

Is there any way to get new ones for the newest patch (Which looks as if it may be the last patch for a long while.)?

I mean I suppose we could just post them on this board, but no pollage

I don't understand your question

BTW: Given that there is already a beta to be applied on top of the newest patch, I think you may find there is another patch coming.

Hmm, I didn't think that there was going to be more patches (at least not this soon). but a while back under 1.02 I think there were 'Slider discussions' where people talked about the sliders and it was one huge poll....

 

[SJG]

Excuse my ignorance, but 1.02 is a bit before my time

My retail version was 1.04.

If you want to start a discussion, on a particular slider, go ahead.
I think a general discussion on all sliders would be a little confussing to follow.

I would welcome if the veterans here would start up a new discussion on the sliders. While slider strategies might seem obvious to the veterans (or not, what do I know?) an updated discussion on this subject will greatly benefit relatively new players.

Agreed. I am thinking of starting a series of discussions with say two week intervals between them concerning sliders.

Good idea! It would be nice if the moderaters would help structuring it by adding a poll and stickiyng the current discussion IMHO

was it before your time as well??

BiB launched a series of discussion threads with a poll regarding how people liked their sliders and then discussion followed with arguments for and against

Well.. the sliders HAVE changed a bit over time, I know mine look a lot different now then they did in 1.04

 

[kurtbrian]

Maybe this is off-topic to this thread but well, I want to post this somewhere. This is what I like to aim for in multiplayer games:

Valid positions are 0-10:

Plutocracy -X--------- Aristocracy (1)
Decentralized -----X----- Centralized (5)
Narrowminded --X-------- Innovative (2)
Free trade -----X----- Mercantilism (5)
Defensive ---------X- Offensive (9)
Naval X---------- Land (0)
Quantity ---------X- Quality (9)
Free Subjects X---------- Serfdom (0)


That is my preferred 1492 setup for pretty much any nation.

 

[kurtbrian]

I'm curious as to why you have free peasants?

the morale boost?

What, all of them?

Even Russia?

 

[JohnMK]

You know why. higher morale, higher income, slightly fewer de-stabilizing events triggered. And the stability malus isn't so big anymore.

I might change a few things like instead go full land for Russia. My favorite sliders aren't for the RPG-er, either.

 

[kurtbrian]

I really think it would be a gret idea to start the slider discussions again.

Use maybe a week or two for each slider

 

[Castellon]

The only problem with doing it right now, is that as beta patches keep appearing, the sliders may still be in flux.

 

[unmerged(9563)]

Castellon is right ; when I posted this I thought 1.07 would be the last patch for a while. Maybe when all the beta's and stuff are done we can do it.

Does the AI change its policy sliders?
