    News: TSG 160 Announcement

    Looking at the screenshot, that's weird, I've never seen Civ V place the starting settler on a resource tile before.

    How to Fix BE (Why AC is a classic game and BE is not)

    I recall slightly differently : The engine for Civ V could only support 2 modes; and so BE couldn't have a third mode. I don't know if they tried starting with strategic and adding orbital material or simply wiped it from the BE copy of the code base and started with the tactical view and added...

    CIV VI Gameplay Guide (MP focus)

    But it's not always 12 turns on the same speed; it can be fewer; sometimes not needed at all if the first city state you meet is religious. Goody hut discovery of relic can also cut the number of turns but is rare. In any case, I consider "Burst" more of a goal oriented thing ; (in this case...

    worth buying?

    My overall impression : In Civ VI current state, then with the CQUI mod that fixes the UI issues it looks more enjoyable than Civ V + G&K + BNW if not playing with a mod that changes the Civ V rules. Other threads are dealing with district escalation cost issues and the ongoing AI challenges ...

    How to Fix BE (Why AC is a classic game and BE is not)

    Does the "Orbital view" screen not function as a strategic view?

    CIV VI Gameplay Guide (MP focus)

    There seems to be a contradiction in God King, between the guide classifying it as Stable but the description saying to only use it until you get a Pantheon. (That sounds like a burst to me.) On the founding a Religion section: If the difficulty is set to Immortal or Deity I'm doubting it's...

    Great Merchant Elimination Thread

    With Adam Smith's record setting victory, this thread is now closed.

    worth buying?

    Most of that is in the CQUI mod. The rough equivalent for this in Civ V was EUI.

    renaming saved games

    If you catch the error in intended name while still in the game before advancing the turn, just save it again with the correct name is the quickest way (you can optionally clean up by deleting the old save) If you catch the error after you've advanced past that point, it's much quicker to use...

    Great Merchant Elimination Thread

    I'm seeing someone upvoting the current 3rd place choice and so it's premature to close it now. Once it's down to just two we can probably close this as an Adam Smith runaway.

    [BNW] Should I get the Great Library regardless of victory type?

    Quoting myself from an earlier thread on all world wonders:

    How to Fix BE (Why AC is a classic game and BE is not)

    It's not so much the price, but the poor UI for the ruleset that makes it not really worth my time. We'd need: 1. Pathing rules : Avoid ending the turn in fungus unless the harmony virtue giving immunity to it is prsent (and if that's too hard for units that have sufficient MP then simply...

    Completed Technology Tree - Delete Science Structures?

    For micro purposes, you'd: 1. Only turn the luxury slider up to the point in which every city was in a We Love The ___ Day ; which was much less than 100% since some of the citizens could be Elvis impersonators. 50% would have been plenty. 2. Keep the science buildings ; future tech was also...

    How close is too close?

    In actual practice, experts love when they get the message. They are now exploiting it firing by having said city be the last in a settlement wave and settling on purpose just to promise to stop for the relationship bonus.

    worth buying?

    Notes: While both the standard version & the deluxe version are 40% off, all of the DLC are at full price. Consequently, the Deluxe note that it's cheaper than buying DLC a la carte is finally true.
