Yea, I know...enough with the HC questions, we'll all find out in like 6 months!!! But still, I've been pondering this....

Do you only have 1 home city or do you have 1 home city for each civ? For instance, if I'm not the best Ottoman player, so I never play them...my Ottoman home city level will stagnate and not progress. On the other hand, my British HC level may be through the roof.

I assume you'll have 8 different home cities for each respective civ., but just checking...

btw, this will have a HUGE effect on going 'random civ' or having random civ games...if you only play as Germany, while you may have a lot of upgrades and units unlocked for them, you'll be lacking on the other 7 civs....i do like this idea, it forces you to try and get to know the other civilizations.

ES has said that there will be a different home city for each civ.

And uhmm, is the home city level your rating level at which you will compete, or is the point system still here?

You HC level and your rank are separate, i believe that the rank is used in matching peopel up for games, and the HC level is taken into accot afterwards, as its possible to beat people with a HC level above yours.

A separate Home City for every civ. You can also have multiple Home Cities under any one civ and choose between them from a list.

Or so I've heard.

You can have as many HCs as you want. Most of us tend to have only one per civ, but you can have more if you choose.

In matchmaking, your rating is used to find players. If none of those players have HCs of the same level as yours, then you are limited to using only lower powered HC shipments.

That still doesn't answer the random nation type question.

you'll get a seperate HC for random nations, becaus every nation has another HC... sounds very logical -_-

ofcourse not.., random determines civ.., civ then determines which HC u use automaticly (??!) or you then can pick the HC;
It could only be picked auto when you have only 1 HC per civ.., or the program just picks the first HC it finds of the correct civ?

CU,

random could pick a random HC or it could pick a random civ and then it'll take your default HC. If it's the last then you'd need to set a default HC per civ.

As if keeping player info/rankings/ratings isn't enough all this info for HC's is going to bog down the network.
