I recently had an idea: Wouldn’t it be a nice thing to have a “Civ-Pool” option to pick next to “Random” or “Mirror”.
How it could work: You have a check list of every civ and create a “Civ-Pool” from which your civ is picked randomly.
I stumbled across some situations where this could be benefitial:
- You want to pick a random civ out of your 5 favourite ones → put them in the civ-pool
- You want to to play random civ except the 2 civs you hate → civ-pool without them
- You just purchrased both DLCs and want to randomly test out the 4 new civs → …
- You want to train a scout build (or any build) but don’t want to always play franks → put scout civs in the pool
- You get islands and don’t want to pick iatlians/vikings but also don’t want to random into a complete civ loss → put decent water civs in the civ-pool
I think this coul be a good idea because it should be rather easy to implement and would hopefully benefit a lot of people.
Additionally you could also think of an option to “weight” civs differently. E.g. you want to play random civ but also try the poles/boh every now and then → You could put a 10x multiplyer on them, so they come up more often than the old civs.
I’d love to hear your feedback on this idea!
