This is a really bad map for Domination. I wiped out India and captured the Vatican before encountering other civs, so they didn't know about it. Rushed Navigation and took Madrid with Frigates, but nearly all the remaining capitals were inland and I couldn't be bothered to click 'next turn'...

I only play with Hellblazer maps, and they usually give Celts a start from which getting 1st or 2nd religion is practically guaranteed

Celts

I won't dispute the math, but in my 5000+ hours of serious play, I've found shared religion enormously helpful. In other words, the apparent 3 point bonus undersells what else is going on. I don't have numerical information to support my position, I just know from experience. Easy way to test...

In case anyone looks back here in the future, including the OP: Depends on Victory Condition: Science - Tradition or Liberty - 4-6 cities Diplomacy - Tradition or Piety - 3-4 cities Culture - Tradition - 4-6 cities Domination - Liberty or Honor - 2-3 self-founded Time - Liberty - as many as...

If I contribute a map it will be Large or Huge, Hellblazer, chosen civs, always Pangaea. If three or more people chime in here that they want to play such a map, then I will make one, probably Spain, Shoshone or America if those are desirable

Hey Nige! I still have fond memories of you defeating Oda with his 200 or so cities :D I actually finished a game of Civ 6 this evening. Domination in around T250ish with... *drumroll* artillery and cavalry, just like in 5. I have to say, I don't think I will play again. No part of what they've...

Thanks, I will look into it :)

I've tried various different approaches, none of them seemed particularly effective, and none of them were fun Fine, but from what I can see, doing this would mean that at the end of classical, so many hammers have gone to Settlers that I'd have maybe 2 or 3 other things in each city to build...

Yeah, looking back at my OP, I can see that the barbarians thing seems to have misled the issue. Sorry for that. It was just one of the many things that's been griping me here. The main issue I have is that eras are over before I have a chance to DO anything in them. I started another game, on...

Reducing the number of AIs in order to make space is a terrible idea. All of your metrics would be lower. There is ample opportunity on almost any map (assuming the use of Hellblazer) to found enough cities and defend them. But if the AIs are too far away, then all victory conditions become...

In a nutshell: - I am a veteran Civ 5 player with 6000-7000 hours logged - I bought Civ 6 a couple of days ago - As it stands, I really can't get along with it, nothing makes sense to me. - Even on Settler difficulty, it seems really hard to achieve anything, even when focusing one particular...

The explanation for the behaviour you are witnessing is because most warmongering civs (which is most of them) have this desperate need to be attacking SOMETHING, be it a CS, a barb camp, another civ, or YOU. That they are becoming obsolete just tells me you are playing on a lower difficulty...

Maya are completely amazing because of free Great People and a sick UB You would NOT beeline theocracy if going for Domination In fact, I would never beeline Theocracy, because the first great count is so early in the game that the important thing is to choose the right order for the free great...
