Maybe I'm daft here, but can you do a ELI5 on me here: Why is that really a big issue? I mean, we literally already have the 1 unit = 1 population feature in Civ6 both with Setlers and with the Ottoman unique unit. I'm not saying that implementing such a feature on a larger scale wouldn't have...

I agree 100 %. I felt it was futile to throw more radical ideas into this tread that is already chaotic, but I would favor a system basically exactly like that. I also think that producing a unit should consume a population from the city - or alternatively lock up a citizen like when they are...

Yes, minus the endless revolts and instantly kill your units each time you capture a city. [pissed]

I think the concerns you list here are great and valid points, and certainly something that needs to be taken into consideration. I do think that an overall complete re-thinking of production costs is required, however, like I also mention above, I think the "few-but-very-expensive" approach...

I half agree with you, there are instances where upgrades make some sense - but the unlimited upgrade from ancient era to future era doesn't. Civ5 had those broken upgrade lines on release, and it was widely hated (and I admit freely that I hated them myself), but I do think from a gameplay...

No, I only play Immortal, so it's possible. I usually save up a lot of faith when I know some of the crucial great people are approaching so I can poach them with faith.

As others have also pointed out, not only do I think this is impossible to achieve, I also think it's undesirable to strive for. One of the big problems with Civ has always been the snowballing, and I think having the same game systems being important the entire game exactly makes the game...

Indeed, entire meta of the game for me seems to revolve around getting a pantheon that allows for good Holy Site adjacency and securing a Great Prophet. There are some ridiculous synergies centered around this strategy, like Crusades and Hildegard Of Bingen.

Work Ethics + Scripture usually solves most of my production issues. :dunno:

Never experienced this issue before, but at some point during ancient era, suddenly all civics take 1 turn to finish. I thought at first this was some sort of culture overflow due to Ramses unique ability, but it persists now through 15 turns where I get a civic each turn, so clearly some bug is...

Bologna, Auckland, Valletta and Yerevan will probably be my top picks. Kumasi and Chinguetti can also become extremely powerful in late game.

Not going to write a novel, but short summary of current game: Tiny Continents map, 6 players, I play China (Yongle) Immortal difficulty, moderately modded gameplay I swear I did no restart *that* many times in order to pull a start close to Mount Roraima (I started 2 or 3 hexes north, but tile...

Diplo win is definitely one that can be achieved with the least effort and earliest in the game, barring of course extremely aggressive domination wins. More over, it's extremely easy to "cheat" on the diplomatic victory and vote the way you know AI will vote on certain resolutions in order to...

I think that's a first for me.

I don't think there's a complete consensus. I personally think several of the expansion packs contained elements that made the game worse (and also some that made the game better). World Congress and Game Modes are elements I felt made the game worse, and while I do have a slightly favorable...
