    August 2020 Update - Patch Notes Discussion

    Will give the random techs a try, but it takes away one of the best player advantages at higher levels, which is beelining important techs. I have a feeling it will just lead to frustration, like trying to find laser techs to speed up a spaceship. This will make timing of upgrades before an...

    Great Wonders Elimination Thread

    Forbidden City [17] (20-3) Best of the policy slot wonders since it's a wildcard, and a nice culture boost to boot, but at this point it's weaker than the remaining wonders. Kilwa Kisiwani [25] Mausoleum at Halicarnassus [4] Oracle [27] (26+1) Since you will have to build this early, it will be...

    The game is too fast and too easy

    If Deity is not enough of a challenge, try playing Georgia.

    Love those mountain tunnels.

    Yup. Mountain tunnels and the return of railways sure ease the drudgery of moving an army across a continent

    Trapping your Qhapaq Ñans (Incan Road Network)

    The encampment would block that hex, but the enemy units could pop out on another hex adjacent to the Qhapaq Nan. Still not a bad idea as it would slow them down.

    [GS] Lack of Desert in Mali Start

    I've had decent enough desert starts for Mali, enough for 3-4 cities. My problem has been getting enough science early in the game, since I can't find good mountains. By the time I get my economy strong enough to mass purchase units I've fallen too far behind in tech.

    [GS] Why are people saying that tier 3 buildings are a waste of production?

    If the factory only affects one city, then yes. If you place your IZ right and extend that bonus to three other cities then the factory will pay itself back in 25 turns

    At war with a friend

    Interesting. Ottoman is also at war with Eleanor of Aquitaine, and she is my ally. Maybe that's where the glitch is.

    At war with a friend

    They are occupied, as I cannot make peace, so cannot cede. I only get the usual diplomacy screen, and can still trade with him.

    At war with a friend

    Playing as Inca and my Ottoman neighbor, who had been friendly with me all game (since we mostly had a mountain range between us) began to attack some of my units. I assumed he had declared war, and I had missed the notification. After several turns, I glanced up at his icon and it showed the...

    [GS] New patch: AI walled city attack experiment results

    Probably the walls. Civs have trouble taking walled cities. That's why I use mod to give CS walls at start because it keeps them around faster.

    [GS] Article: Ed and Dennis talk Canada

    https://forums.civfanatics.com/threads/which-civ-will-you-play-first-in-gs.640306/ Looks like Canada is holding its own. Still No. 3 in the "Who will you play first" poll.

    I thought knowledge of all NHL teams was prerequisite for citizenship. He must be an imposter.

    [GS] Faster religion spread in GS?

    Scripture is +25%. Seemed faster than that. I could be wrong.

    [GS] Faster religion spread in GS?

    In Quill18's Canada game, his religion seemed to spread to his own cities much faster than I recall happening in Civ6 vanilla or R&F, which had very slow religion spread. It didn't seem he needed so many missionaries for his own cities. Does anyone know if this has been adjusted, maybe more like...

    I hit a T-187 domination with Mongolia, but I could have cut about 30 turns off that with better efficiency in the tech tree. I popped the Stirrup tech for knights too early, and didn't have the card for higher production. So for my second army I had to slowly grind out knights instead of...

    Wouldn't they get +5 trade route? One from govt plaza and one for each building ... remember there are four govt tiers now. So 1+4

    [GS] Phoenicia Discussion Thread

    If you look closely at the preview video, when Phoenicia moves its capital (at about the 1 minute mark) the project takes only one turn, so the move is effectively instant. And if you look at the new capital you can see the palace appear, so it seems palace moves as well.
