In the previous Civilization games the diplomacy system was crucial if you were getting attacked, and decimated, you could bargain everything you had for aid. When I was playing through this expansion I had a horrendous time with the changes to this system, to the point where even I jumped online to make sure I wasn’t missing something. If you’ve played a little bit of Rising Tide and are checking for some kind of critical consensus then you’ll be eagerly awaiting my thoughts on the new Diplomacy system. It’s not so much a criticism though in fact you could argue that its inclusion is another example of Beyond Earth being pushed away from Civilization 5, for better or worse. In fact, even when I did build a city in the big blue, I’d find myself skipping over it as I conducted the million and one activities on my turn, only to find it ransacked later because I forgot to build any kind of military on it. That is engrained in Civilization players – certainly in my mindset – but when I ignored the oceans here I was routinely punished. Oceans are notoriously boring in Civilization games, to the point where players simply ignored them they were simply bodies that needed to be crossed to reach other areas. It is though, as with most of the additions that Rising Tide makes, one that carries its own set of problems. There are aliens in the ocean, cities can be built and captured. Far from being the blue coloured hex on a map that simply limits your movement around the world, now the oceans are an integral part of the Civilization: Beyond Earth experience. The complete revamp of the oceans being one of the most important. It’s a shame in many ways because there are additions to the formula here that make the game feel unique compared to its predecessors. Instead they’re merely there an obstacle, a thing that’s preventing a casual passage through the turns. This expansion offered Firaxis the opportunity to make the interactions with the various species a profound one. In Beyond Earth, and still in Rising Tide, the aliens are merely a reskin. Doing so would grant you bonuses and freedom of space. The barbarians in the original Civilization games were a roaming annoyance constantly aggressive and in need of destruction. Having said that, though, the inclusion of aliens still feels lazy. The aliens, those things that were just green insects in the base game, finally have character and variety and, along with some cool new tech opportunities, are finally demonstrating a little life and refreshing the formula. Rising Tide, even within the opening hour or so, feels much more confident, much more like its own game. Much of the criticism levelled at Beyond Earth was that it felt like a reskinned version of Civilization 5 or, at best, a total conversion mod. Once you dive into your first game some of the game’s strongest, and weakest, elements become instantly apparent. Google searches demonstrated that I wasn’t alone so, as with any PC review, a caveat has to be attached to any kind of recommendation I can give you may well have technical issues but, thanks to Steam’s refund system, it’s less of an issue than it used to be. In fact my first three hours with the game were an exercise in getting the game start. I would especially have loved to say “Yes!” but, as with my relationship with the franchise, it’s not quite that simple. The question I’ve been tasked with answering is did it succeed?Īs I sit here, with hours sunk into the game, I wish I could give you a simple answer. This expansion, we were told, would correct mistakes and make up for the horrendous issues that people experienced with the game. Technical issues were abound at launch, while experienced players decried the lack of soul, the needless homogenisation of factions and leaders (while stripping down their AI to boot) and a tacked on quest system to try and compete with Amplitude’s wonderful Endless Legend. Regardless, I knew going back was going to be an issue, especially give just how much I disliked Beyond Earth’s original release and, judging by the panning the game got from hardcore and experience Civilization fans, it seemed I wasn’t alone. Maybe the ex-girlfriend metaphor doesn’t extend that far… The late nights, the failed attempts at culture domination and the last minute losses to a space race victory. My glasses are firmly tinted with a rose hue until I double click on the icon and am quickly reminded, a few hours later, of all the things that went wrong for us last time. I have a history with the Civilization games, a long and painful history, and being asked to go back is like being asked to revisit an old girlfriend. “Max, I need you to take a look at Rising Tide – the next DLC for Civilization: Beyond Earth.” I shuddered.

Then I usually get busy with A Better Finder Rename and go to work on the craptastic file names, go into AudioFinder to audition everything and delete most of it, and use SampleManager to batch "normalize as a group", auto-trim dead air, etc. You can also just use the Batch Convert to change an unlocked library's samples from. If a library is unlocked, you can just do a "Save As" from inside Kontakt and check "Program and Samples" and make sure "Compress Samples" is NOT checked, and boom. Extracting is just getting the raw WAV files out so you can manually rebuild new instruments in another format, or just use the raw WAVs in Ableton or something else - such as using one-shot orchestral effects as simple audio files that you drag-n-drop onto Ableton's timeline. Well, there's extracting, there's converting, and then there's re-sampling. And as said, I can have my stuff with very little.CPU and with the features I want (be it a custom legato, playability, baked in mic mix etc) So yeah, MIDI files with what I want to sample, some Reaper scripts and I have it reasonably fast. That way I also create my own playable patches out of non-playable libraries or create my own mic mix.

I mainly then pull in one of my resample midi files (depending how deep I want to do it), record, cut, name and put it into sfz with some customization to my liking (whatever it may be). Mainly to "freeze" changes I made like sound design (let's say like a mangled piano). I was in the library - sitting in his chair - he was quite near. He put wine to my lips I tasted it and revived then I ate something he offered me, and was soon myself. At first I did not know to what room he had borne me all was cloudy to my glazed sight: presently I felt the reviving warmth of a fire for, summer as it was, I had become icy cold in my chamber. I want some water.” He heaved a sort of shuddering sigh, and taking me in his arms, carried me downstairs. “Then tell me so roundly and sharply - don’t spare me.” “You know I am a scoundrel, Jane?” ere long he inquired wistfully - wondering, I suppose, at my continued silence and tameness, the result rather of weakness than of will. There was such deep remorse in his eye, such true pity in his tone, such manly energy in his manner and besides, there was such unchanged love in his whole look and mien - I forgave him all: yet not in words, not outwardly only at my heart’s core. Reader, I forgave him at the moment and on the spot. If the man who had but one little ewe lamb that was dear to him as a daughter, that ate of his bread and drank of his cup, and lay in his bosom, had by some mistake slaughtered it at the shambles, he would not have rued his bloody blunder more than I now rue mine. “Well, Jane! not a word of reproach? Nothing bitter - nothing poignant? Nothing to cut a feeling or sting a passion? You sit quietly where I have placed you, and regard me with a weary, passive look.” I suppose, then, your heart has been weeping blood?” But I err: you have not wept at all! I see a white cheek and a faded eye, but no trace of tears. I was prepared for the hot rain of tears only I wanted them to be shed on my breast: now a senseless floor has received them, or your drenched handkerchief. So you shun me? - you shut yourself up and grieve alone! I would rather you had come and upbraided me with vehemence. “Well, I have been waiting for you long, and listening: yet not one movement have I heard, nor one sob: five minutes more of that death-like hush, and I should have forced the lock like a burglar. Rochester, who sat in a chair across my chamber threshold. I fell, but not on to the ground: an outstretched arm caught me. I stumbled over an obstacle: my head was still dizzy, my sight was dim, and my limbs were feeble. “Friends always forget those whom fortune forsakes,” I murmured, as I undrew the bolt and passed out. And, with a strange pang, I now reflected that, long as I had been shut up here, no message had been sent to ask how I was, or to invite me to come down: not even little Adele had tapped at the door not even Mrs. I perceived that I was sickening from excitement and inanition neither meat nor drink had passed my lips that day, for I had taken no breakfast. I rose up suddenly, terror-struck at the solitude which so ruthless a judge haunted, - at the silence which so awful a voice filled. “No you shall tear yourself away, none shall help you: you shall yourself pluck out your right eye yourself cut off your right hand: your heart shall be the victim, and you the priest to transfix it.” I wrestled with my own resolution: I wanted to be weak that I might avoid the awful passage of further suffering I saw laid out for me and Conscience, turned tyrant, held Passion by the throat, told her tauntingly, she had yet but dipped her dainty foot in the slough, and swore that with that arm of iron he would thrust her down to unsounded depths of agony. I cannot do it.”īut, then, a voice within me averred that I could do it and foretold that I should do it. “That I am not Edward Rochester’s bride is the least part of my woe,” I alleged: “that I have wakened out of most glorious dreams, and found them all void and vain, is a horror I could bear and master but that I must leave him decidedly, instantly, entirely, is intolerable. Some time in the afternoon I raised my head, and looking round and seeing the western sun gilding the sign of its decline on the wall, I asked, “What am I to do?”īut the answer my mind gave - “Leave Thornfield at once” - was so prompt, so dread, that I stopped my ears.

Li and his coauthors, whose study appeared in the European Journal of Applied Physiology in March, speculate that the forest trip’s effects on blood pressure may be related to phytoncides, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that plants produce and release as protection from fungi and bacteria. The authors note that DHEA-S may contribute to heart health, among other benefits, and that lower levels of adiponectin are associated with obesity and type 2 diabetes. And blood levels of the adrenal hormone dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEA-S) and of adiponectin, a hormone secreted by fat tissue, were higher after the forest walk but not the urban walk. Levels of the stress hormone noradrenaline, measured in urine, were also significantly lower after the forest walk than after the urban walk. Subjects’ blood pressure measured in the forest was significantly lower when compared to measurements taken in the city. The study’s sample size is small-16 male subjects-and the timescale short-effects were measured after one day trip to the forest and one to the city-but the results suggest that the forest trip had positive effects on health. He and his colleagues recently measured specific physiological markers before and after study subjects took walks in a forest and in an urban control environment. Qing Li, a professor in the Department of Hygiene and Public Health at Nippon Medical School, Tokyo, has been involved with several such studies. One such body of work is accumulating in Japan, where researchers are investigating the physiological effects of shinrin-yoku-“forest bathing,” or, to put it plainly, taking walks in the woods. These questions are not the kind that can be answered by a single, groundbreaking paper rather, like so many of the subtle and complex problems science explores, the evidence is being deposited, small study by small study, like layers of sediment on a river bed. The more difficult questions are how, and in what ways, these effects arise. If some of these studies seem too specific to be useful in answering the broader question, their results in sum suggest that time spent in nature improves human health. Since then, researchers have asked whether the presence of trees influences people’s sense of safety in inner-city neighborhoods explored how gardening might improve quality of life for people with disabilities and used physiolgical measures to test for restorative effects of natural environments. Ulrich in 1984, found that patients recovering from surgery in rooms with a window facing a natural setting had shorter hospital stays and took less pain medicine than did patients whose window faced a brick wall. One of the first and most well-known studies, published in Science by Richard S. A growing and varied body of research attempts to quantify how and why spending time in the natural world might have beneficial effects on humans’ physical and psychological health. Perhaps that’s why Richard Louv’s 2005 book Last Child in the Woods, which explores the relation between the natural world and children’s development, became a bestseller in the United States.īut to know empirically that these experiences are beneficial-and to know exactly how they might help us-requires more than personal experience. I suspect that many people have similar feelings about the effects of spending time in the wilder places near where they live. The results of my informal experiment? I did, in fact, feel better-calmer, more relaxed, clearer-headed. I did this because I hadn’t been spending much time at the river, even though it’s only a short walk from home, and even though I like doing it. It should have been full 3D and not this 2D crap. I usually do not like ARPG or anime style games, but this one has it's charm. Not sure why but most game sites blocked this game from being reviewed, with one site removing the CB keys because "Published without KR consent". Either way the game is fun and just recently came out, hopefully they keep adding content.īeen in since CB. Pets do grant some buffs or auto loot / mounting, but nothing game changing. No P2W aspect as far as I can tell (how ever you can P2W in a PvE centered game? never really understood that) just costumes and pet items. I guess no one on the NA server does any PvP? It'd be nice to have PvP servers or at least an open world PvP zone. and since I started playing have never been able to get a single party to try it. As for PvP, I can't really review any of it since it's all queue based i.e. This game is still fairly new (for the NA and EU at least) and hopefully they add more content because I do really like this game. My only complaint is at end game you literally have maybe 5 dungeons to grind for gear (which only 2 gear sets are worth it in my opinion) and that's pretty much the extent of endgame content. I personally found it to be really entertaining as opposed to most games that are out right now, and the open world is nice (since most "action" games are going the way of the hub lately).

Trying to figure out what cards the enemies had, alongside what their strengths and weaknesses were, all the while trying to prevent them from killing us too early was a blast. I loved playing 2v2 battles with my wife. Grabbing a friend and jumping into a 2v2 round can be extremely fun, especially when you know the person and can build a deck side-by-side that has different focuses. Meanwhile, some masters work best whenever reaching later stages in the game, so playing safe with them offers stronger late-game possibilities. Some, for instance, require more assistance from characters that can defend from aerial attacks due to their inability to attack aerial units. These masters add an even deeper depth of gameplay because they can synergise incredibly well with the deck the player chooses, or, in 2v2 battles, synergise with each other.ĭifferent masters offer different playstyles due to their abilities. These masters gain experience as players take control of one of the two bridges present in the map, and as they level up they get cards or passives unique to the character. These shards can be used to purchase a card of their choosing or a new master with their own unique abilities. Whenever using the Power Tokens (the boxes that grant cards), players can acquire shards. With well over 200 cards to acquire, several hours of gameplay can be expected before players own them all, and I personally find that as a charming system. That being said, the build I play with has gotten me well into higher ranks and victories, and even with the imbalanced build I had early on (as I learned), playing my cards right ensured that I could win, and that is the most important aspect of them all. Building an imbalanced deck will lead to defeats, and with only 10 cards at your disposal, making sure you make the most of those is imperative. And although players can get more cards by purchasing the battle pass, it's nothing that a player with persistence and farming can't get.Īlthough I wouldn't say I'm high ranking when it comes to Minion Masters, I can safely say that the game feels balanced enough and it's more of a knowledge experience. Whether you play 1v1 or 2v2, every round you play works towards building your card total. The 1v1 and 2v2 game modes are both automatically ranked, so you'll always be placed among peers with similar skill levels as yours, making it so that the game always feels fair enough. My favourite aspect of the game is the capability to play whichever mode you fancy and it will be taken just as seriously as the last. Acquiring cards is surprisingly easy, and with each purchase of Power Tokens, players get shards, which they'll be able to use to purchase one of their choosing, with varying prices according to how strong the card is considered. That being said, if Minion Masters rewards one thing, it's persistence. I was worried when I first started because I thought getting them was going to be a pain and borderline impossible, given the capability to buy them with money and how games tend to try to abuse that system. Straight off the bat, Minion Masters has a ton of cards for players to collect and build decks with. However, I can tell you exactly what charmed me about it - how fair it feels. I can't remember when I first started playing Minion Masters, nor can I tell you why. Minion Masters is a free-to-play, deck-building, PvP RTS game where players can face off in 1v1 or 2v2 battles trying to reduce the HP of their opponent to zero.
