clustering of capitals is typical of pangeas and continents, which is why these 2 maps suck big time. Why do you only play them if you don't like the clustering? About islands and pangea... pangea in its very meaning means no islands, heh.

My gripe with Civ6 maps is that I only play Fractal because it's the only interesting one for a game that guarantees a bit of unpredictability and dynamism. The inner sea one in particular is really crappy. Smaller lakes are typically round in shape in nature. Civ6 maps reflect this pretty...

anti cavalry units are fine and balanced in all eras now and work very well in their role of anti cavalry units. 99% of what is written in this thread is rubbish. If it were for most civ fanatics, Civilization would have 1 unit type -weak against none, strong against no other, 1 district that...

This is plain wrong, or how you would say it: stupid. Granted, I have yet to manage descending in a Dark Age, but Normal age also gives some bonus and most of the time I prefer these to the golden age ones. Also, during a normal age you can accumulate points in so many more ways that you can put...

you have quite a human-centric view of our world. You can't adjust to the fact that one grade difference in average temperatures can completely destroy an ecosystem. There is no adjusting that. The planet is not a machine that you can modify, change, adjust modularly; it is a complex system...

? it's actually when expansion is pretty much done and the race for victory BEGINS.

You ally with half the world's civs and don't expect to make enemies because of this? COME ON...

I disagree with those who claim the game was made easier. Yes new features were introduced and as usual the AI is less than competent with them, but at the same time it received yet again some more drugs and steroid with the hope of appearing challenging because of this. I haven't played the...

Yes, they have uses. Like stealing everything scouts can from other civs. They might not be among the best, but certainly they aren't among the worst. Besides UUs are balanced with the civ, you can't just compare them to other UUs directly.

I'm agnostic on this point.

Gameplay wise, why have them at all? In fact, we don't have them gameplay wise. It is a distinction you have made, not game mechanics. They follow the same rules as any other tech, the only difference is that they do not serve as a prereq for other techs.

Wait, you can actually make a Natural Park out of the city 3 tiles range? This shouldn't be possible in the first place.

more or less what you thought, but with more randomness. Random map Random civ and try to win according to their natural goal or another one I set for the laughs.

I'll rephrase, but maybe you should start considering that there might be no mistake but a simple misunderstanding on your part? Adjacency here (in Civ6) is used in 2 acceptions. One is used in order to determine adjacency boni. In the other case, it is used as a requirement for placement. If...

the question is: are there even more than 10 features in Civ6? I wouldn't bet. FYI, I was replying to this OP statement "Civ 6 when it came out was a hot mess". Hence, my points still stand. I'm not making any mistake. Civ4 AI was much easier to beat for a good player than Civ5 and Civ6. You...
