I really like how varied and powerful the city state bonuses are in Civ6. And so far I havn't been able to hold to more than a couple city states (at least not long term) so you have to prioritize the suzerainties you really want. Which ones do you guys focus on keeping? In my current game the...

edit: State of game twitch VOD. Also added some mspaint touches to initial screens, a theme that will continue This is a story about trying to switch victory conditions in the Atomic Age against 3 runaway AIs on a huge map. It's going to be an orgy of modern warfare. Save attached. It is 1728...

Sea routes that is. Typically you'll get about twice as much gold as you'd get hammers or food. 10 hammers or 10 food seems way better to me than 20 gold in most situations. The science is pretty miniscule, either 1 or zero beakers most of the time. Are sea routes to other civs only good for...

Been wanting to play a Dutch game as a 'pirate' empire. However, I can't get into a game because I hate the start locations its giving me. For their to be any point playing the civ, I want to have floodplain and marsh. However, the start bias seems to think I want jungle. Lots and lots of...

First off, havnt tried the full mod yet but the script generated an absolutely fantastic map for the game I'm playing right now :) However, I remember seeing something in the full mod about reducing the number of strat resource units. Would I be correct that the mapscript generates SRs in much...

I like long, epic civ games. I want my games to go all the way to the information age. I want to be duking it out with Stealth Bombers and Modern Armor at some point. The problem is, if you get into the late game with a fully functional civ, it seems like the AI can't pose a real challenge...

I'm trying to be the arsenal of democracy here but unless I'm missing something you can't rebase to friendly cities in BNW (why the hell did they make that change anyways). So, this leaves me also unable to gift air units to other civs? Extremely frustrating, helping out someone in a war when...

How fast should at least one AI in a standardish size game get a peaceful victory? I ask because currently it feels like the AI usually takes far, far too long to achieve a peaceful victory. For example I just finished my first postpatch space victory (large continents) on deity, a game where I...

I guess this is mostly a question for builders, since on a conquest route the answer is "All of the cities, everywhere." How many cities do you prefer to have in your empire? Not just in terms of what you think is most effective, but what is most fun for you. Since I started playing Civ...

I've noticed that my allied CS units now leave their territory pretty aggressively and go after my enemies (dunno if this is just with the last patch?). Think it's possible to win a domination victory with city states doing all the capturing for you? I really want to try this, actually. No...

I havn't played since last Nov. so I don't know if this is related to the new patch or previous ones...but the AI seems to love denouncing other civs. At 1400 AD no AI's are friends, and every AI has denounced every other AI. It almost feels like some sort of crazy denunciation spiral...

Current game is crashing on turn 208-209 transition, regardless of anything I try with settings or changing stuff in my play in the turns prior. The map is a large map, but I have played Huge maps with more civs that had more junk on them successfully well past this stage. The game is not...

So the conventional wisdom seems to be that diplomacy doesn't exist, or is impossible/hopeless/stupid. I'm currently playing a game where that is not the case at all, and I'm wondering if that is a fluke or if anyone else has replicated this (or if people already know all this stuff and...

The new look puppets are set to "gold focus", and they use merchant specialists if you have Markets, Banks etc in the city. You get the gold, and the GPP, and there are fewer tiles being worked. But the interface does not display anyone in the specialist slots, so at a glance you would think...

Actually it will be more of an Iron rush than a rifle rush...but I couldn't pass up a chance for alliteration. We've all been there before (right?). Anyways, I had a hankering for some Roman rush action, plus I wanted to try out the new patch. Settings are Pangea standard everything. Part2...

Hopefully many of you are familiar with A Song of Ice and Fire. If you're not, go read one of the most amazing pieces of literature in the last 10 years. The Map This is a base map of the Westeros continent. By which I mean, the resources and start locations are randomized, with the...

I've played many games of Civ5, all had reasonable waiting times between turns. My current game the waiting time has jumped into the stratosphere. Nothing that I can discern has changed about my computer. I am not playing on a larger map that before. I am not playing with more civs than...

Is the 15% science bonus applied to your total science or applied to your base science? IE: is it a modifier on the university/public school level, or is is applied after that?

One of my earlier games was totally war free until a 1900's diplo win, but I thought that was just because it was archipelago. But now at 1800 AD in a game where I have been bordered on all sides by AI for the entire time, I have not been DOWed once! Playing on an Earth map as Arabia, and the...

Hope this isn't a totally inappropriate place to ask this. Is there some file I can modify to turn off this damnable auto-pan feature (the thing that zips your camera around the map in a demented fashion). -It often pans to available units far away from the unit I JUST MOVED -It...
