Just because most people don't read everything - Civ VI was announced the other day for 21 October release. I wasn't sure I was going to do anything but a news item and spreading that around on Facebook on a day I didn't feel like it - half because the site's Facebook page was freshly due a new news item to keep the traffic checking by.
But Uno -who I was going to love forever anyway, but now I've committed myself with a promise- volunteered to take point, so I did throw up a new dedicated subforum.
Hey - please go comment and post there as much as you can bear to. We're not giving this thing the full-court BERT got with the logo and top of the root, not least because 6 is a lot further off-mission for AC2, but frankly, I think not even the Civcentration Camp is rupturing itself even with active official support and their large membership, and WPC and Poly aren't even trying as hard as we are. Seems like near 100% of everyone is feeling twice-burned, forever shy.
But you never know, and any Civ game, even a bad new iteration, draws Our Kind Of People. Worth a better-than-just-cursory effort even if it turns out to suck - and it might not suck...
So, you know - we can talk about related community and community-building issues in this thread, but talking about the game, hopes and doubts for same, reacting to news about, what have you - the folder ain't hard to find and do me a solid talking there, not here, thanks.
Now to go post the same thread in one or two other folders for the same reason...
-
I quite agree about it drawing out our kind of people.
I also agree that it probably won't suck...after a couple of patches.
I like what I'm reading about diplomacy, in that the A.I. leaders have a rational/historical basis for
liking or disliking you. Namely rivalry. If you are competing with them for most popular among the city states, most wonders, etc. They will dislike you.
That makes way more sense than "I hate you because you're human" for all of them, and it being a matter of degree.
-
I'm marginally more interested in the new Star Trek tv series (that I have no interest in) than I am in Civ6. Civ4 Complete was the best Civ and I still barely played it.
-
I'm intensely interested in drawing Our Kind Of People. Full stop.
I haven't even played SMACX in I don't remember how long, literally. I play the forum game -pretty doggon high difficulty level setting at that, an old game that was a commercial flop at the time, for all that it's good- and I always remember What 5 Did To Us All. I never believed in BE, never not for a second. I don't believe in 6. -But we got some profit off the BE excitement, make no mistake, mostly in oldtimers remembering SMACX and dusting it off. We'll end up with a few extra members off 6 - and it might not suck and we might get a little 6 community going out of it. We were actually in danger of having steady BE people until it released and mostly disappointed. Sucking killed that, but there was people profit anyway.
-
Somebody elsewhere was good enough to make an observation in the middle of the night that our Civ 6 folder is three guys spamming - which is bull in both parts. Which three of the commenters in there? What spam? -I am pretty sure that no one participating thus far is a woman, so the guys part isn't a lie...
-But, I would like more people in the most active Civ6 in of a forum in our circles that doesn't start with a "C" - and has threads that aren't Instantly Long, so you can actually have a conversation...
-
It is more of there isn't a whole lot of new info available so other than posting links to different articles with the same information there is not a lot to do. I suppose, if I wanted, I could go to poly and make threads like "which civilizations do you want to see in Civ 6?" But that seems a bit like masterbating to me. Besides, I have started enough threads and would like to see other posters step up a bit so it isn't a solid wall of threads by Dinner.
-
To be honest with you, I'm just not that excited for the game.
Which leads to I'm not that interested in investing that much time into generating traffic. After civ 5 and BE I'm just not into it.
-
I'm actually spending more time on benign forum politics than 6 here. -We already had the BE plan here, and are following it - not everything to do while the news is a little sparse and there's so little to work with for avatars.
O, what you need is a partner - being me, I've come up against that same thing where I worried about having too many of the last posts showing. One guy dedicated is infinitely better than nothing, but TWO guys can have a conversation; if another member would jump on the bus the way you have at ACS, you have ballgame going.
And protip: Aeson's stopped using Poly's Facebook page, so I've been abusing it frightfully when I was promoting stuff on Facebook. If someone was to get him to allow them access, a powerful promotional tool is going to waste, crying out for some news threads to be linked... I need to point out same to Nik; WPC's page has been dead almost seven years now, except my promotional spam...

BE and Civ 5 were pretty much stinkers compared to the Master Piece which is Civ 4. Sadly, Firaxis seems determined to change everything good and keep the disfunctional bad parts.
. Wrt the poly facebook site I believe it is here and it hasn't been updated since 2014.

https://www.facebook.com/apolyton/ (https://www.facebook.com/apolyton/) -I get 19 January 2015. Aeson ain't the most trusting guy in the universe, but you've definitely earned a shot at all the FB promotion you care to do, so just ask him for access to post as the page on the page for as long as you care to push 6.
-
Well, poly crashed today and so far it seems they lost every thread and post going back to February including the entire Civ 6 forum. :lol:
-
Oerdin? Know anything about the Facebook link-post on the Poly page about four hours ago?
-
I haven't looked.
Edit: Now that I looked it seems Aeson posted that on facebook. Sadly, it happened on the same day they had a failure of the database deleting both the Civ6 and Civ 5 subforums. They also lost fpur months of OTF threads and posts.
I hope they can recover.
-
Yep. -My Spider Ghost Snake Man theme song post is dead dead dead.
-Also, seriously - you had a heck of a lot of hard work for the community disappear, and that just sucks SO hard. :(
-
O, what you did for Poly 6 wasn't wasted, you know - you started something that turned it into a real subforum worth looking at -You. You did that- and the momentum created didn't disappear, it was only dampened. Get back to work :whip: Seriously. It was still worth it. ;nod
Respect to you, sir.
-
We've reached a point already in the pre-release cycle that was death to efforts last time to get something going with BE - no dang news coming out. I mean, after flooding for a few weeks after the announcement, this is the eighth day in a row with nothing. Not good marketing strategy, if you ask me, and just murder on building something in little places like this.
I really wish they wouldn't do that.
I'm doing what I can with pacing out the posting of avatars -and the new banner logo is a spinoff of fooling around with the Atlas image; that's the top of Earth fungused-up- but my little related art projects aren't going to draw a community.
What we need is more conversation. If you're not Rusty, go have a glance at the news already up and try to think of something to say in reaction. -And there's always the perennial Your Civ VI Wish List. (http://alphacentauri2.info/index.php?topic=17904.0) thread.
-And there's this, as far as another bit of bells-and-whistles:
(http://alphacentauri2.info/BU Junk/AC2LogoSpaceCiv6.png)
I'm thinking about what a Civilization VI forum theme/logo ought to look like. Atlas as the background is a gimme, but I'd like more ideas and suggestions about the color scheme and icons. A look at the 14 themes we have will give you some idea of what sort of thing is doable, at least with my skillset... When I have something decent, I'll set the 6 subforum to default to it so it'll look cool to the lurkers.
-So please; see what you can do to make a little conversation that isn't just me posting art...
-
Well, E3 is coming up, so I'm sure there'll be new stuff then.
-
Well, E3 is coming up, so I'm sure there'll be new stuff then.
What it amounted to last time ( V) civilains just got a chance to play the same scenario as the game fanzine guys. They observe a little more, and there's more activity / discussion without more substance.
-
I can't resist posting in the thread at CFC about whether or not Canada should be a civilization. There are a surprising number of Canadians there, and it does feel a bit lonely at times in OT, with warpus as the only other Canadian who posts regularly (a few others show up from time to time, but not reliably). And it reminds me of the first thread I ever got involved in over there that ended up closed due to all the arguing (the moderator assured me it wasn't my fault).
But otherwise, I have no plans to play Civ VI. I'm still playing Test of Time, and after I post this, I've got a couple of Goblin cities to take over...
-
Other Games. ;nod
-
I take you mean "Other Games" here, since Test of Time falls under the Civ II forum over at CFC. I still post there occasionally.
A Goblin Sorcerer just killed my Stygian Rider... :mad:
-
I DO mean Other Games here. You're talking to a II-head, y'know - and not the only one here.
-
I don't like the idea of a special theme just for the 6 forum. I run chilled for a reason, and I assume any non default users run theirs for a reason, too.
Now, a 6 option for everyone, I don't know. Don't like background pics in my forums, but a nice header would't be misplaced. Otherwise I think you try to copy the UI style with borders, colors and maybe even icons.
-
If I understand how it works, you'll still be in The Chilling - it's a default thing that should only affect lurkers and members in the default theme...
Yeah - I was thinking about going over screenies again and saving all the UI elements I can pick out. -Just the Atlas color scheme has not worked out all that well for CFC; on the other hand, I dunno about a landscape green everywhere.
-
I don't blame the people who are upset with the Civ VI theme. While I like cheerful colors, the simple fact is that peach and yellow clash, as they're not in the same color family and they're not contrasting. It's like stirring peaches and mustard together... it doesn't really work. And the red buttons don't work for me, either.

Yeah...I'm not good at this stuff. Meeting with the designer yesterday proved how bad I am. So, I'll take Valka's word it's bad.
-
Funny. I look at CFC and think " That's harsh on my eyes, I think I'd like to drink some peach juice."
-
...They got - unfortunate - taste in logos, too... ;)
-
Funny. I look at CFC and think " That's harsh on my eyes, I think I'd like to drink some peach juice."
I had a similar reaction. I have some peaches in the cupboard, and my grocery store had a sale on pumpkin pie last week.
I opted for the blueberry pie, though. And no, it's got nothing to do with the fact that I've used the Dark Blue theme there for many years.
-
Well, if we're gonna be on about CFC's tepid 6 themes instead of talking about what a good one here would look like, riddle me this, batchums:

I think so, too. And imitating the light bit surrounding the letters in "Fanatics Center" to work on a transparency that can be thrown over any color background was no picnic, let me tell you - fortunately, I did most of the work last summer, making the AC2 logo for the Fake CFC theme...

Congratulations - 14 logo images I've generated in the last five days, not counting various versions of the one at the top of the page here for various themes --- and you're only the third person to say anything nice anywhere. Gotta love th' CFC, where they'll focus group-think an innovation clear to death, but nary a word out of thousands about attempting something basic and nice...
(-The big version of the Atlas Centauri image [it embiggens]
(http://alphacentauri2.info/BU Junk/Atlas1560x800AC.png)
is another matter, on Facebook where I made it the AC2 page's new cover photo - and it's drawn a record number of eyeballs...)
-
As well it should. That's beautiful work.
-
I peed away hours last night trying to wrap the logo around the globe in 3D - no luck, so far.
Incidentally, I've got seven big screenies with interface elements showing up in GIMP - I just got distracted making avatars, first. Three to go, then I start studying in interface and cutting out elements I might use somehow somewhere in a Civ6 theme...
-
Sorry, but I don't see the point of sites having to change logos. Cadbury don't change purples just cuz they're releasing a new chocolate bar.
-
Cadbury designs a whole new package for the new bar, you diplomatic/marketing genius.
-
Which is akin to a theme, or skin.
-
[blinks] If you weren't taking a whiz on hard work, I might be interested in schooling you.
Fun Fact: I'm totally not interested.
-
Ahhh I see how this works.
Opinions only count when they agree with you. Quite CFC'ish of you. It's the whole dumb [Sleezebag] alias thing again.
-
I peed away hours...
You know, when I taught at the art school, it was never really a written down rule, but something that was just understood... urination on projects generally results in poor quality work!
:D
For that curving text, just change the font size and if Gimp (or whatever tool you are using) doesn't allow for curved text, you can always put each letter on a different elevation in a different text block to get the curve in. Won't be perfect, but if you really were trying to get it to curve around the sphere, you wouldn't be able to read most of it anyways as you would be seeing the letters edge on anyways. The curve should suffice for your needs I would think.
Although I don't see the need for new arts (I kinda like the existing for most of the sites) it is cool that it has given you a new inspiration and is allow you to experiment and have fun!
-
I already tried that - believe me, over two hours of tweaking put me to bed too late last night. If I go back to that, I need to put a box around the lettering, as a guide to getting the curves right; the top line beginning and ending with As threw me off.
I may move Atlas' hand, too, to make more room near the equator.
It's true about the experimenting - after all these years of computer art, I'm still learning technique. I didn't start the space Atlas with any purpose in mind, but inspirations happen when you're being creative, and sometimes they pay off. Presentation matters.
-
As I've been cutting out 6 interface elements from screenies, I think the attached is something I can base a lot of the look of a theme around...
-
That'd make for a slick theme, IMO. I might even switch to such a one.
-
I need to keep cutting things out - but dullish gold/brass borders and buttons, black background, seems to be the dominant interface color scheme. We're a bit over-supplied with dark themes, but I think once I copy the default and start messing with it, seeing what I can work in where and how it fits - yeah; I can work out something pretty slick...
(Click on that second one to get it with the transparency showing...)
-
That's a really nice colour scheme. Like Uno says, would probably switch to that.
-
:D
I'm on it gentlemen. -It'll probably take a week of fiddling, but I think I'll go ahead and install so inter5ested parties can follow and make suggestions...

I think I'm done with the logo - but certainly interested in feedback...
-
Gold & silver vs. gold and copper...
-
I dunno - the copper lettering almost works, but I'll probably change it back. That last also has a lot more Atlas, as per GodKing's suggestion, which I figure I'll keep.
-It's all pretty steampunk-looking, ain't it?

Just the last logo with the sliver letters put back is the difference thus far from the default. I'll be a good week working on this...
-
Looks great so far. Good job.
I won't offer suggestions as it's obvious where changes are needed. Just let us know when you want real feedback.
-
...I'm working on how to do something with the postbit and I think I'll be ready for input today, especially about colors of the indexes and post fields, something I've yet to decide.
Remember, if you're following the progress of the theme, refresh often to see the background art changes...
-

;nod
-
Feedback/input!
I haven't made much progress on the postbit thing, but I can do that at any time. Let's have some ideas about index and post field colors...
-
Okay, what I'm going to try -if no one has any suggestions- is two tones of parchment color, to match the background of the info center at the bottom of the root and the reply box frames, for the index background colors, and two very almost-black tones of blue and cyan for the post backgrounds w/ white letters.
-Not real sure about that last, but not enough black(ish) to match the interface yet...
-
Is the preview accurate, or do I have to switch to it to see what the hell you're talking about?
-
The preview should be accurate if you haven't checked the theme for days -and/or refreshed- but it only previews the themes page, doesn't it?
-Unless you're talking bout the thumbnail for the theme, which is terribly behind...
-
Yeah, too bright for me, still.
Not a fan of the green in the background, and I understand you're against ANOTHER dark, but I like the idea of the new hand drawn fog of war ish colors for the main body and background.
If there was a screen of just the background map, (or even a fakeit off the videos), maybe that as the background.
-
Hmm. Find me an image(s) of what you have in mind - it's sounds good, but the theme's going to be mighty brown like that, bar changing the ideas for some other stuff (the indexes and post colors I haven't changed yet, obviously)...
-
Watching the trailer video...I'm thinking maybe even a real oldschool map instead of something straight out of the screenshots. But, they've clearly focused on the whole map aesthetic for everything...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qvBf6WBatk0 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qvBf6WBatk0)

So, just running with the map idea....what about some oldshool maps.
Too busy, but along these lines.

I've pasted those last two into GIMP, and will try them. -It's going to show the margins more than the map, you know; no way around that.

Here's actually a very good candidate:

Yeah, it just gives the impression.
That last one I posted would probably be the best source. Big original, aged, and fits with the blues and browns well.
-
Pasted.
-I've got some work cut out for me...
-
Okay; try it on again and refresh.
-
Still has the green background.
The reply box/footer area in general looks good (damn good), I assume that will make it's way up into the rest of the body? (though it looks like you missed the gold borders around the post/preview buttons in the quick reply)
Not a terrible fan of the non-functioning next turn button at the bottom right.
-
Functionally, it's running better than the Chilling.
-
[ctrl]F5, then.
What browser? I dunno if I can lick a phone problem.
-
Work problem. Phone looks fine.
-
Other that a minor crop/repeat issue in the header.
-
Chrome looks good (other than the too bright main body)
-
Other that a minor crop/repeat issue in the header.
Is this the discontinuity in the right margin? Haven't the foggiest what's causing that or how to address. The map image is the exact width of the page at 100%, and that shouldn't be happening. -Some repeats on a long page -unavoidable- but not that.
-
The blue navigation hyperlinks are occasionally problematic with the map.
-
Yah - my machine started the day feeling great, but got super-sluggish around suppertime, so not much work was goona get done while I waited for pages to load; the legibility issue was one of the first things I noticed when I made your background change, but haven't gotten to it yet...
-
No rush. I like where it's heading
-
The buttons should be fixed presently...
-
Okay - the buttons are white text on a much darker background now (w/gold borders) - but the only way the do that is to have white lettering in the pulldown buttons and the reply fields. Cool?
-
I like.
Is there a way to make the text at the bottom that says where you are in the forums (that I use to exit a page) darker? With the background as dark as it is, the text for it is fading. I don't think turning it white will do any good. It really needs to be darker. As it is a link it should probably stay blue... although burgundy would probably fit the theme better.
For example, this one is "Alpha Centauri 2 >> Forum >> Community >> Recreation Commons >> Civ 6"
-
Yeah; that's next.
-
Reply box is looking much better.
-
...I was wrong, and the background map image is much wider than displays at 100%. There's a kludge I can do that'll look a little strange at higher rezes, but not terrible, and tone down the problem at regular size, which is what matters most for now. I'm going to make that background fainter while I'm in there kludging..
-
Okay, check again; I believe I've ameliorated the background discontinuity sufficiently, and the breadcrumbs may be legible enough now...
-
Nicely done. Now, we just need to get rid of all the accursed white/light grey.
-
Oh, we totally will. And, like, today.
-
Okydoke folks, it's time to put on the 6 theme and tell me if I'm almost done, like I think I am...
-
Hm. The dark blue doesn't play nice with some of the icons.
Doesn't bother me, per se, and I'm personally partial to the dark.
I could see a more tan color akin to the quick reply area (without the graphic) working as well, if someone wanted a light version.
-
Bumping around more, it's just the "discussion" icon that don't like it. I don't remember that problem on other dark themes.
-
Ah. "The Chilling" doesn't run the "Discussion" icon at all, it reverts to a default icon. That's why I hadn't noticed.
-
There's a transparent background on that default icon, or something; I b'lieve I won't have any trouble fixing...
-
I like.
I do like Uno's idea of a tan color for the quick reply box.
-
Okydoke; I can do that. Next on my list after the icon.
-
Icon's fixed.
-
Reply button looks out of place being a totally different blue to anything else.
-
AC wiki box should be same background colour as the other right side boxes.
-
Reply button is that way because of how it's set up counterintuitively/differently/probably wrong in Curve, which is what I started with. Surely fixable, but I'm not sure worth the trouble, and tracking down the difference would indeed be troublesome.
I'd noticed that white background on the Wiki box and feel the same way - probably an art issue, but I'll see if I can track it down. It might be best to knock out a version of the art that fills the box...
-
I like.
I do like Uno's idea of a tan color for the quick reply box.
He was talking about the color of the index boxes, which are currently dark blue and dark cyan - and a bunch of things are intertwined, so I can't do one color one place and another another place sometimes, like, those colors are also the post backgrounds.Okay - the buttons are white text on a much darker background now (w/gold borders) - but the only way the do that is to have white lettering in the pulldown buttons and the reply fields. Cool?
-Also, the reply field is a thing unto itself, but do we WANT a shade of tan for it inside a frame of tan parchment?
-Now, I'm open to swapping the regular index colors with the stickied thread colors -and you can look at the top inside this or any other subforum in the 6 theme to see how that looks- but that's the colors you'll also get with the post backgrounds, and I'm only willing to carry one 6 theme, so we have to choose which, and be content with it that way...
-
Might be an Unocolorblindness thing, but the AC2 background was added to the avatar box sometime in the night, and I can no longer see user names. Only the titles.
-
I'll look into it - nothing was changed except a background added and I fiddled with the text margins a little to fit better; no doubt, it IS a color problem, the parchment background being a sort of dark pale orange.
-It's not incredibly legible for me because of the art design --- I'm going to try changing the text color first.
-
Incidentally, I made a new Wiki logo to fit the box, but that's a strange interface, and it resized - another thing to try IRT that...
-
-Okay, the display names was easy enough...
-
I got the Wiki logo to fill all of the box it's allowed to - it's an SMF thing outside theme stuff, and how to do something about the frame is over my head - but at least the white's reduced...
-
I kinda liked it with the white background on the posts better. Not sure, but it feels too dark now. Just call me fickle.
-
...We can certainly go with parchment. Anyone else?
-
Background turned grey instead of the yellow parchment color. Feels cold now.
-
More legible now. -Kinda central to the idea is understated colors, as the kept the golds muted in in the screenies. You and Uno are pushing for parchment(ish) colors for the indexes and post backgrounds, and I expect we'll need the contrast - it's gonna be a lot of dull brown if we go that way...
Dale, I managed to make the Reply button less different. Good?
-
You cant make the colour the same blue as the right column headings?
-
I went to some extra trouble to not make them exactly alike - it doesn't have the same hover effect, and the reply button should stand out as the most needed/used/should be easiest to spot, by design. It's like that in the default theme and most of them..
-
Okay, not a lot of feedback like I wanted, but two sorta votes for tan/parchment post backgrounds and indexes. I'll switch those and the stickied thread colors after I get back in from cat time, as I recall it's not a major job.
-I'm concerned that this'll amount to too much light-medium brown, but we'll see...
-
Weellll - I don't hate it like that, that's for sure.
I just need some folks to volunteer opinions 'bout how close I am to being finished...
-
A light theme that doesn't inspire headaches!
-
...I'm making a new thumbnail; save the bottom of the postbit background, which I don't know how to do -yet- I'm satisfied...
-
I like it
-
:D
The thumbnail's updated - but refreshing to get that in a timely fashion seems to require going to the faction select page from your profile.
-
Looks good, but the header text and news text is really hard to read. Or is that just me?

It's just you.
COLLAPSE that %$#@ at the top - it's ugly and utterly, 100%, superfluous and no way to do anything with it.
-
Open index.php in the editor and search for:
< div id="upper_section" class="middletext" >
Change this line to:
< div id="upper_section" class="middletext" style="display: none;" >
That will enable collapse on default. Spaces added to braces so as not to spac out the post.
-
Mine's collapsed by default....
-
...That's because you're signed in, and cookies. You collapsed it on SOME theme SOMEtime. That's why I forget so easily the stupid thing's there...
Dale, I'll look into it.
-
Okay, I made the index.php code change, and it at least didn't see to break anything...
-
It's worked. Mine's collapsed now, and as you saw I had mine expanded.
-
Thanks a lot for working that out.
I find that since the Great Satan Firefox won't let me log in, it's handy for checking what lurkers see, at least in the Great Satan Firefox - and it confirms that when lurkers switch to the 6 theme, the extra crap is collapsed.
-I may bother to add that bit of code to all the non-default themes...
-
We sure could use more comments/conversation in the 6 forum, friends...
-
Not till the game is released.
I REFUSE to get involved in the hype machine, and I DENY pre-release.
They have a LOT to answer for, for CivBE.
-
Oh, BE isn't teh Devil - that's Civ5...
Listen, if you're dumb enough to grouse about another Firaxis game in public -and maybe that's not dumb, since I hear the damage is done- have at it, just, on-topic...
-
Note:
Grouse in Melbourne means awesome, amazing. IE: That was grouse mate!
I take it you mean something different?

[girldog; complain, vituperate - what we might call "giving down the road" in these parts]
Interesting thing about regional slang, there - I love getting to live in the future and learn from an upside-down rugby player on the other side of the world...
-
Ah.... gotcha.
Like I said, I refuse to give the game wind till after release.
So looks like I just won't be saying anything.......
....... just like I've been doing for the last few months. :)

You know, hate to waste this here instead of there, but if you pay careful attention to what's out, like the reporters they did live play demos for, not let actually play, --- the beta's probably way behind where it should be, and it's not going to be ready in time. Sounds like a superior design to 5, so it'll be patched to good, relatively speaking, by maybe a year from now, but the October release is going to be a little broke...

Our Civ 6 is usually punking all other sites in our circle w/o about a thousand posts a day in getting up news and content first -Nik beat me to the Brazil vid today, but it was the first time in a while, I've been the one propping up 'Poly's 6 for the AC2 linkbacks at the top- but everybody's embarrassing us for comments.
Mars needs conversation...
-
There's about 90 million new reviews and Let's Plays up in our 6. I may never catch up - one item is normally 20 minutes work afterward on promotional stuff for me, minimum...
-
And still not interested in boarding the 2K hype-train.
-
...It's looking like it's less pathetically unready now...
-
I am wishing that I will be able to get a machine that can play it before new years...little alone the game itself...
-
Crossing fingers for you...
