I just experienced the same bug with Adam Smith. Once I activated him there was no way to fill the new policy slot, and so no way to end turn and continue the game.

Running in strategic mode if you have a really outdated graphics card is all very well, but things could get messy if the diplomacy screen still tries to load the full 3d leader animation. There would also have to be an alternative to (or a way to disable) the wonder completion 'movies' if they...

I always play random leader, so I don't see changing that. The only time I pick a specific leader is if I decide to go on an achievement binge and I need a particular leader to advance my goals, but based on Civ5, I doubt I'll be doing that for some time. Map type is normally continents of...

Sadly I don't have time for a detailed discussion, the real world has kept me from contributing here far longer than I would want, and I have my own (not game-related) software business to run and deadlines to meet. (I need to get ahead before October!) However, I do appreciate your responses...

It's funny, I would agree with OP on pretty much any other game, but I feel differently about this franchise, which I have been playing since the original. Pre-ordering Civ6 and then finding out it wasn't finished and having to wait for a few patch cycles before it feels complete doesn't...

I was under the impression you could build districts as follows: No more than 1 for population 1-3 No more than 2 for population 4-6 No more than 3 for population 7-9 etc... So basically: districtsAvailable = RoundUp(population/3)

I have seen +10% quoted in many places, but I see +50%. Screenshot from E3 video:

I wonder if they are planning on a British Civ, rather than English. There really wasn't much of an empire before the Act of Union in 1707. This would be a first for the series, without completely dropping an old favorite. A feisty Queen Victoria would meet their requirements for an...

At the very least I would expect (ancient?) bridges, built where ancient roads cross rivers, to help with movement

Apologies that this is off-topic. I had this issue as well, maybe what I discovered will help one of you: I use Google Chrome, and with some images the show button did not work. However, if I opened the page in incognito mode the show button worked fine. This got me thinking...the...

I am delighted with the new look of the game. Information is king in strategy games and the level of thought that has gone into how the graphics can best be used to convey information is outstanding.

I would like to see a system that allows tiles to be claimed outside the traditional 5 hex radius. This would allow late game empires to fill in all that unclaimed land. However, I don't think simply adding a sixth or seventh ring to cities is the right approach. Perhaps a system of...

Another article, from an unusual source: http://time.com/4324490/civilization-6-interview/ Amongst the nuggets of information in this one are details on the rebuilt AI and the approach to the UI design:

I found an article at mashable: http://mashable.com/2016/05/11/civilization-6-reveal-details/#0_GWDgqTK8qh Among the new information was:

I have mixed emotions right now... On the one hand: I preferred the Civ V graphics, not that the new screenshots are bad, but they don't look quite as epic. On the other hand: Absolutely everything I read about the mechanics of the game sounds perfect. I have been longing for the map...
