I've been a Civ player since Civ I and I pretty much stopped playing after Civ V vanilla. I don't own a computer outside of my work any more, but I bought Civ VI for my iPad thanks to a Christmas iTunes gift card. I was skeptical but outside of some minor annoyances in the AI, the port is...

Huzzah!

Los Athletes Foot

So I installed the Mac version on my MacBook and tried taking it into a multiplayer game with some of my online (PC) friends. When I hosted the game and invited others, they'd appear in the game room for a brief second or two, then get kicked back out because they are told it was a "version...

Seconded. People keep saying "you should" but I've yet to hear a definitive either way.

Irony - complaining on facebook since it's widely known the next Civ development project is focused on facebook. Or is that just coincidental?

That's interesting. So if you travel across a large continent, capture a capital (or two) and then send a lonely worker on a long journey to hook up those capitals to your capital via one long road, you're really only out the cost of the worker's time.

I tried this once and it told me that I could not remove the road because it was not within my cultural borders. So that road had to just sit out in the open. I never paid attention to see if I was getting charged for it or not..

He's destroying the city-state in order to save it. There seems to be a lot of that going around with the AI and Civ V.

I just came in the thread to say that Towson's not that bad. They're better than UMBC.

I, too, have found that the tile improvements have not been useful. It's pretty much either free tech from GS, use the GG combat bonus, build a wonder with the GE or just use the golden age function.

Now that is a combat animation I would pay to see included in the game.

RAMMING SPEED! Seriously, destroyers/battleships need a Ram command for wooden ships. Then when you're done, have a (R)epaint command so you can touch up the scratches your battleship got when you sank the trireme.

Naval battles are worse. It took my submarine THREE ATTACKS to beat an enemy embarked worker. Huh?

Can you have different units on a carrier? I ask because last night I had my atomic bomb-loaded carrier running around the sea, and I built a normal bomber to add to the carrier but it would not load no matter what I did.
