Check today's date everyone! Got me for a second though. And if you still think it is real and not an April Fool's joke, click on the links. They're all dead links.

I apologize in advance if this topic has already been discussed ad nauseam around here as I suspect it has. I'm a long time Civ player, especially Civ IV, and only recently decided to try Civ VI when Epic Games was giving it away for free. However I did advanced searches on this forum for both...

Reading through this thread I see I'm not the only long-term Civ player who only recently got Civ VI for free from Epic Games. This of course means I haven't had it long, and my opinions of VI are completely based on the vanilla version. First of all, from the 10 or so games of VI I've played...

Since someone else has already resuscitated an old topic, I guess it's OK to chime in. People have found some really interesting ways to cheese out some really early space race victories in the last several years since this thread was started. You can do pre-1000 AD with a duel size pangea on...

I haven't played with the sound on in years. So I've forgotten most of the in game sounds, including this one.

CiV was the first to take multiple turns to raze a city. This always bugged me about CiV, as I've put way too many hours into CIV, and am really used to immediately razing cites I don't care about and not having to waste resources defending them. To me it sounds like Civ VI has way too much from...

I think this definitely has something to do with it. I think there's a clue in the way loading stacks onto ships works. If you select a large stack of mixed troops and load them onto ships, have you ever noticed that it always loads seige units first? I suspect that the same mechanic must be in...

Nevermind, apparently I needed to restart my computer for some reason. Never seemed to matter when playing around with WB save files before...

Apologies in advance for the 4 year thread necro, but I've gone back to the Charlemagne scenario recently, and I was wondering the same thing. My initial thought was to do as exactly as suggested here, that is, change all PlayableCiv values to 1. But that didn't work. Has anyone fiddled...

Triremes: You've basically answered your own question here. Their primary use is to protect your seafood resources from barbarians. In the rare cases that it makes sense to make early naval assaults (usually only on water heavy maps), they are useful as escorts for your galleys. Crossbows: Yes...

I only nuke cities I plan to raze, such as taking out a near-legendary city that would otherwise give the AI a culture victory a few turns before I can reach my own victory, or you're at war with a civ on another continent and it makes more sense to vassalize/wipe out completely than conquer and...

The espionage slider has its uses, but it's very situational. I only use it myself for two kinds of situations: 1. Space Race: If I have all of the required techs, but am still building parts, I'll often put the espionage slider all the way up to help decrease the AI's ability to sabotage the...

I have a Moto G, and for me there are only a few very minor glitches. For the first week or so I had the game, it would crash maybe once a day on me (so maybe once for every hour or two of gameplay). When restarting the game, it always gave me the choice to continue, and I'd only have to...

I've built it and unlocked JFK. Unfortunately, I can't tell you what tech allows you to build SETI, and as you probably already know, the Civilopedia is next to worthless, as the entry for the wonders don't even list the required tech. What I can tell you though, is that the required tech has to...

Please tell me that's just undetectable sarcasm. If not, that's just inappropriate and rude. It's actually somewhat related to a common them I'm seeing in this thread, which are people playing at lower levels due to the way they want to play. I, for example, play on Monarch even though I could...
