    Civ VI Funny/Strange Screenshots

    yeah Machu Picchu was never good for the Inca. but now it is even worse. I love the new preserve and found it quite powerful but Incan Mountains make it even better, especially when it allows you to make national parks as well. Now not only terrace farms compete but even flat tiles are high...

    [NFP] April Update Video

    With the Mapuche you might be able to flip cities now. If the governor loyalty hill stacks it could override the loyalty of a nearby enemy city even a bit then you kill units and flip it. This could allow you to play a more diplomatic warmonger since you can just flip the enemy city and then...

    [NFP] Byzantium & Gaul Pack (September 2020) - Patch Notes Discussion

    I have no interest in the Statue of Zeus. At least it will eat up AI hammers. The Biosphere I found amazing. As a clean energy guy I love dams and avoid coal plants. i also don't chop rainforests especially since they can get lumber mills. The biosphere is the first thing to get me to build a...

    [NFP] September Update Video Discussion

    There is a grand total of one greek city state in the game Atioch which is being removed and is in Syria. 2 city states and now 3 is massive cultural representation for the new city state system which finally expanded beyond civ. And unless you want half the roster to be european there have to...

    [NFP] September Update Video Discussion

    Renaissance Italy is already in the game as it should be , a bunch of city states. There was no central polity of even much unity. They certainly didn't think of themselves as italian. And Gauls were in far mor than france that is very reductive. They were in Italy and Spain and germany and even...

    Egypt in Gathering Storm

    I played a game as Egypt and it definitely feels more thematic and a bit stronger. The immunity to flood damage lets me hold off on dams until later though they are so nice, and godly with hydroelectric, that I still build them. Easier alliance is nice now that it buffs diplo favor. Also one...

    [GS] GS impressions/random observations thread.

    The grievances for taking cities in peace deals makes sense. Just look at the Franco-Prussian war. France got really mad when Prussia took Alsace Lorraine and then got ultra pissed again when they would't hand them back fighting to the last possible chance of even stalemate. Then they remained...

    [GS] Updating and reworking Vanilla and RnF Civ

    I think Egypt got a pretty substantial buff. Iteru now applies to all river tiles not just flood plains which means it will be a lot more useful. Especially since they can use flood plains freely and save time on producing the dam while keeping all the fertility bonuses from floods. Much more...

    [GS] Release at midnight Wednesday? Or . . . ?

    Which means I start work the very minute the expansion launches. Oh well I have the next day off so i can sink into it then.

    [GS] Why should I care about Climate Change?

    I am actually a very peaceful builder type of player and especially in civ 6 where the AI is so weak. I don't want to play on deity to get a challenge so i have more fun building my empire Civ 6 and its district system and far better resource and terrain features really fits that kind of...

    [GS] Why should I care about Climate Change?

    From the previews it seems that if you are not playing on Prince just go dirty. Every single game I saw go late game went full level 7 climate change well before victory. You can't stop it so avoiding it is just an RP handicap. There could be an argument for delaying it long enough to allow you...

    Has Pingala made the early game duller?

    First off, I doubt anything in GS will be as broken as R&F release Magnus with unnerfed chops. Secondly Magnus is still there and incredibly powerful. Thirdly, how are you going to get and store enough iron for your knight rush and have enough money to pay for it. Can't you let people who want...

    Gathering Storm Over-hyped?

    Its like any and all civ expansions ever; if you like the game it will improve it but its unlikely to convert that many people. The expansion that was the biggest gamechanger was probably Gods and Kings, but that was compared to vanilla civ 5 which even as a civ 5 fan was the weakest in the...
