    My Yearly "Is the AI Any Good Yet" Thread

    Every year I come back to this forum which I once loved so much to ask if the Civ 6 AI is any good yet. The last time I played it was utterly incapable of even remotely handling itself in any aspect of the game whatsoever. It did not know how to move units, plan cities, conduct diplomacy, or do...

    Is there an AI mod that makes this worth playing yet?

    Every few months I come back to Civ 6, try the latest AI mod, and am consistently disappointed that the AI is still effectively braindead. I have very low expectations; I just want the AI to be about as competent as it was in Civ 5, where its war strategy was "build giant swarm to try to...

    [R&F] Are there any mods that make the city state game worth playing?

    As of right now there appears to be no reason whatsoever to waste time with city states, since the AI players just gobble them up and there seems to be nothing you can do about it whatsoever other than declare a surprise war to defend them. I'm shocked there's still not a "you're at war with my...

    Is the AI better than a chicken with its head cut off yet?

    I pretty much only play Civ singleplayer, so when I tried Civ 6 and found the AI to basically be non-existent, I very quickly lost interest in the game. It was clear to me that the devs had added too much complexity to the game for the AI they launched with to handle, and so I moved on to other...

    So is Beyond Earth playable with any set of mods or something yet?

    My Civ itch needs scratching and Civ VI is still a trainwreck. I was reinstalling Civ V and while doing so remembered I have BE, and needless to say I'm WAY out of the loop on it. Loved the concept but the execution was just so very bad and I haven't played it since the first few months after...

    No way to defend city state without huge warmonger penalty?

    Is this WAD? You can't demand countries make peace anymore, you can't gift units, and so the only way to defend a city-state ally is to declare war on whoever attacked them. If you're not denouncing them the only way is a "surprise" war (Surprise! We've decided to defend the tiny nation who is...

    Which policies and tenets would you skip every time?

    Thread title! I'm learning to mod and changing around some social policies seems like a good place to get some experience, and I was wondering what policies and tenets the community hates. The more detailed version of the question is this: Which social policies would you skip every time if...

    Trying to add unit based on existing model?

    I'm not sure why this code isn't working. Sorry for the questionspam! Learning on your own is hard. :( First of all, I followed the procedures in Kael's guide to create this code for a Scout upgrade: <Row> <Class>UNITCLASS_ADVENTURER</Class> <Type>UNIT_ADVENTURER</Type>...

    [WIP] Peng Qi's "Unofficial Patchpack"

    After years of thinking that this game came so close to perfect and complaining that I wish they'd just finish it, I've decided that the only way it's ever going to be finished is if I finish it. I know there are a couple of other "unofficial patch" mods, but they strayed too far from the base...

    How the heck do these unit movement types work?

    I'm trying to create a mod wherein work boats can traverse ice tiles. However, I don't want them to be able to cross oceans immediately, so I imagine I need to create a new unit movement type for them, which appears to be possible. I'm kind of a noob so I'm not even sure where to look; the...

    Is there any reason not to burn Great Writers if not going for culture victory?

    Thread title. Is there any reason to bother accumulating tourism if you're unconcerned with cultural victory? Great Writers almost always give more +:c5culture: when you burn them than they could possibly have generated through the end of the game, often even taking into account all possible...

    Where the heck are the cultural victory and influence levels defined?

    I want to squeeze the influence levels upward without changing the way "influential" is attained. I.E. right now: Exotic=10% Familiar=30% Popular=60% Influential=100% Dominant=200% I'd like to change these values to something like 30, 50, 70, 100, 200, but can't find where this...

    Idiot trying to figure this out for the first time.

    So I've been bumping around here looking things up, reading some tutorials, and typing out some XML but...I'm a total noob. Zero experience. Have no idea what I'm doing. I've written out some things that...I thought were supposed to do things when loaded up but apparently don't. On the bright...

    Noob here, is this written correctly?

    This is supposed to remove the WWI bomber, swap the Battleship with the Submarine on the tech tree, and move Destroyers to Replaceable Parts. EDIT: Code revised already. See two posts down. Also, I need to know how to change prereq techs for other techs. Haven't researched such yet so that may...

    A complete imbecile trying to change one thing.

    Before I begin, the following information: 1. I have almost zero programming experience. 2. I have almost zero modding experience. but 3. I'm really good at following directions. also 4. I looked for a tutorial on this, but failed to find one. This may be because I am dumb and not because one...

    Reading through changelog; a few questions.

    1. The purchase cooldown seems to be a big nerf to Landschneckt. Have they been given anything to compensate for this? 2. Making all early siege units require iron seems like a big nerf to warmongering. Has anything been added that makes warmongering more attractive for players who get cursed...

    Is there a version of this which adheres more closely to the original goals?

    I've been looking for a mod that focuses on keeping the core gameplay pure while fixing some of the bigger problems in the game, and this mod fits that to a large degree. Where I draw the line though is the extreme changes in Civ and Leader special abilities. I'd also like to see the tech...

    Is there a decent unofficial patch that fixes some of the more glaring issues?

    I realize 2K and Firaxis are pretty much done with this game, but there are some serious and glaring issues still present I was hoping someone had fixed WITHOUT adding a bunch of other crap. It's easy to find mods full of changes, but I want one that changes only a few things, most notably...
