I am having the same problem ... though it does deter me from reloading after a lost battle. So there’s that.

For the record, I am running Civ6 + Rise and Fall on a 2018 Mac Mini i7 6-core, 32GB RAM, 256GB SSD, no eGPU, and it is smooth as silk. I am not maxing out video settings (they're set to the default 'medium' settings) but no issues on standard size map into the endgame era. I was curious how it...

Oh, no, I totally got what you were saying....just meant that even if the GDR was justified internally as being for game balance, that means they were missing the point of another unit that they nerfed somewhat (the nuke.) Personally, I think that it was thrown in just because it was deemed...

Yeah, but isn't that what nukes are for? Strategic nukes that don't have to be hauled to the frontline to be fired???

This trope is a good one to keep in mind, too.... ;) http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/UnpleasableFanbase

While I actually agree with almost everything else you said in that post concerning the effects of habitability of a city after it was hit by a single nuclear warhead, I have to call this one out. I am unaware of anything that shows that Carl Sagan "famously screwed up" about nuclear winter (I...

This is an interesting read. What would be most interesting for me, however, would be a way to play at the default 'no bonuses/handicaps for either player' level (i.e., noble) while still playing with the stronger AI, to ease the transition to higher levels of difficulty. I hope there is an...

This only makes sense if their UU is the Queen's Own McKamikaze Highlanders.

This one was an oldie but a goodie.... I was playing a Civilization I succession game in college. The guy I was playing with wasn't that good, and we made a few mistakes early on. We'd settled an entire continent by ourselves, but were starting to tech stagnate. Gandhi (of all people)...

Right, but an ICBM is just a regular tactical nuke with a very large or unlimited range, so I'd imagine if the AI knows how/when to use nukes, it probably would understand how to use ICBMs. At least, I'd start there and see what happened, then start rolling up my sleeves to begin serious...

If it's purely about eye-candy, and the final graphics aren't appealing, I'm sure the mod community will have something better within a few months. :D

I think it's best not to demand changes in game mechanics until we see how they actually fit together.

Updated.

I disagree.... Modding something in when the AI doesn't know how to use it might be unbalancing, but not a 'cheat'. But there's no reason the AI wouldn't necessarily know how to use an ICBM. The Civ IV AI was able to properly use new units modded in.... It just looks at the strengths, etc...

My fears: 1.) Giant Death Robots will be lame, not awesome. 2.) No Random Events? I hope this isn't the case, they added nice flavor to Civ IV. (Let people turn them off if they want to do a 'strictly competitive' game.) 3.) You mean, they put in Giant Death Robots, but took out ICBMs...
