Druids currently have 7 trees. (And a treeent form)
1 class tree, 4 spec trees and 2 (or is it 3 for druids?) hero trees. Only 3 can be used at any one time though (to be clear as you don’t currently play)
The more possible combinations, the harder it can be to balance though
They can’t write good stories any more, don’t expect good main story, just good side quests.
It still feels like this expansion was too early (as usual) and many classes could have done with more time in the oven (druids and rogues)
On the talents - they realised that they can’t just keep giving us stuff, so they have switched to having some kind of ‘borrowed power’ that gets taken away after the expansion - I think the hero talents are another example of this? Some are shit though and I imagine it’s going to be balance hell (rip boomkins too lol), as they never seem to learn with this stuff.
It’s the endgame group content that actually sells wow for many people (me), so as long as that works and it’s ok balance wise (or alts can be leveled easily) then it’s probably ok for quite a few people though.
Disclaimer: have not got early access, have bought the expansion, but left it really late to decide.
Tried to answer, but it got very convoluted, here it is anyway as I typed it out…
Because that’s a less useful metric basically, to change their budget a government can:
This means that a budget can swing quite a bit in value quite quickly if needed (or if something goes wrong). This means the % could swing quite widely.
GDP on the other hand is effectively the value of the economy, so moves slower and is a better metric to compare different countries with different economies and tax systems (assuming they tell the truth about their GDP…)
Ultimately, if a government needs more money, most of the time it can get it… But whatever they do will have side effects. But those side effects depend on the size of the economy, the bigger the economy (measured by GDP) the more can be done/taken without causing a large effect.
Both of these fail to highlight countries that already have a high tax load though, so in practice a wide range of metrics will be used.
There was something said (maybe by a youtuber?) about upgrades merging with your town centre or something on a new era (because so much is specific to a single era). Almost like playing 3 games on the same map.
It also implies that tech disparities will be reset twice a game…not sure if that is good or bad.
Also a possibility of a humankind style neolithic era?
But yes, expecting some required DLC unfortunately.
But civ is a patient gamer staple - just wait for 8 to come out and 7’s dlcs will be cheap! 🤣
Interested how the map expansion will work in multiplayer.
Concerned about the era resets.
I like what they appear to have taken from humankind (eras, leader swaps, outposts/yowns, map elevation?) and old world (tile improvements culture bomb)
Also concerned about how the maps seemed to just be cities, no gradual domestication of the world with farms, mines etc.
I would bet that there will be a new space age era added on as a DLC
The ages concern me most though - what progress carries across? Are you going to be going full land grab because your infrastructure resets etc?
Still not showing anything from Lemmy right? I guess upvotes don’t convert to boosts? I tried favouriting the post, does that make it show?
I believe SLA parts also require drain holes for the resin on the inside of the part to drain out through?
Imagine… A party of Gaspode, the Librarian, Nobby Nobbs and the Luggage.
They pointed cameras at wrong boats with similar flags sometimes as well
And their bedtime brew (with vanilla and nutmeg) is the best decaf I have found too!
Isn’t this functionality already built into the default web UI?
But when you have a problem, you complain to your representative that represents your area and knows all the details. That’s a powerful thing.
In the UK at least there are a lot of seats that are swung by those holding them rather than their party.
That way still ends up with candidates that you didn’t vote for though, the ranked choice method means you always have a vote in each round.
In any round though you only have 1 vote still, it’s just collecting the votes ahead of time? The only thing you lose is knowing who is in each round in advance?
In your example, wouldn’t the same candidates have been knocked out in each round regardless?

More than 1 million cubic kilometres of lava. Enough gasses to cause a mass extinction event.
Ugh, life took ages to get started. Lazy bacteria!
It’s still a hell of a long time if you consider that the entirety of recorded (ish) history is only a few thousand years long.
Updated comment to remove an order of magnitude.
I mean, my understanding is that they fired half of their story continuity team, resulting in a published (physical) lore book that makes no sense.
So now I don’t think they are even trying
