Hey, folks - I've played Civ5 for a long time unmodded, and I'm finally in the mood to try my hand at some light mods that make small tweaks. I'm not looking for the introduction of new mechanics, units, or civs. I just want smaller quality-of-life changes and simple improvements. Do you...

Folks - Since the technology/culture eras in Civ6 process so quickly, I can't help but wonder if early era unique units are basically useless compared to later era units. Here's my logic: By the time you're able to build enough of the early UUs to make a difference, the AI has already moved...

Folks - If you're not going for a Religious Victory game, do you ever find it beneficial to found a Religion? If so, under what circumstance? Is it in a majority of your games? In the vast majority of my games, I've hardly ever found Religion to be worthwhile. I think I've built one twice in...

A quick question (at least for most of us): Who do you find yourself playing as most? For me, it's Hojo Tokimune of Japan. Really, they just need to say "JAPAN" and I'll jerry rig my playstyle to be on board. I wish Hojo's district discounts were on more districts that matter, and I find the...

Does anyone have a mod (or know how to mod) to replace the Civ6 music with other music. I'd love to put something else in the background. Thanks!

Folks - Unlike in Civ5, it appears you cannot farm tundra tiles - even those adjacent to a river or lake. This makes tundra even more difficult terrain than it already was. Are there any improvements for tundra besides the districts? In one tundra city I needed to found, I improved a deer...

Folks - I seem to have run into a flaw in the competition for Great People. Even in the largest maps on the medium-high levels, if you pass on a Great Person...you'll never get another one. The AI isn't meaningfully competing for the Great People in my experience, so you'll sit waiting for a...

Folks - I've played multiple games now, and the AI seems to fully misunderstand that a strong military and early expansion is in their best interest. Most AIs I've met have kept to 3-4 cities - well under the suggested 6-7. I think the universal consensus on these forums is more cities is...

So it used to be in CIv5 that occasionally your ally would ask for a gift. In Civ6, the dynamic has shifted: anyone you've ticked off or beaten the crap out of will ask for "gift" style trade deals CONSTANTLY. These aren't demands - none of these AIs could possibly back up any kind of demand...

In the Civ5 advanced option, there is a slider to adjust the number of city states in the game. I often liked adding an additional AI to the map and a few more city states to increase closeness and conflict in games. I don't see an option to adjust the city state number in Civ6. Am I missing...

I've found it difficult in my games to tell visually whether terrain is a hill or not. Especially if there's additional rough terrain like a forest or jungle. It's to the point where I have to highlight over the terrain and read the fifty lines of text describing the tile to figure it out. Am...

In IGN's pre-review, Dan Stapleton mentions this awful bit of news: If there’s one aspect I’m less than enthusiastic about right now (other than that you can’t rename cities)... Although I suspect I know the reasons why, I cannot fully vent my sadness over this. Part of what's fun about Civ6...

Hey folks - I know many of the leaders have been potentially spoiled from the portraits list thread (which spoilers I myself am mostly trying to avoid), but barring the fact that we have a firm idea who's in the game - which Civ are you most hoping to see come back in the base game of Civ6...

Hey folks - One of the most fun things about Civ is creating a new world where history plays out differently - giving a chance to civilizations that did not stand the test of time into the modern era for a variety of historical reasons. I think one of the most fun aspects of Civ is...

Hey folks - I see some threads have brought this up, but I think it deserves a topic all its own. As several folks seem to have noticed, if you're doing well and overrunning the AI, the warscore will begin to demand things that the AI will not be willing to accept (multiple cities, ect.)...

Hey folks - So I'm one of those Civ players who tried Civ: BE and found it to not be my thing. Boring in the long haul, a tech tree that was very difficult to read at a glance, a lack of flavor when it came to the civs, lack of meaningful diplomacy, and moronic AI that would let me get away...

Hey folks - So I played a game recently that didn't go so well (Japan, Emp., Huge Continents for those who care). I had an instance where I was on a surprise, defensive permawar with two AIs that ultimately ruined the game for me; the AIs wouldn't ever allow me to sue for peace, and it...

Hey folks - So, most of us agree that the game's scales have tilted a bit too much in favor of small empires. Tradition now towers over Liberty as the thoughtless choice in most games. My, how the game has changed since Vanilla. Liberty suffers on several fronts: the penalties for...

Hello all - So, after (yet another) all jungle start, I'm curious if anyone has any theories why chopping jungle provides nothing akin to chopping down forest (which takes less time to tech to and takes less time for your worker to accomplish)? It seems nonsensical to me. Even if jungle...

I was very excited by the randomized continents map pack, particularly to play on "thawed" Antarctica, which I thought would be super cool. Sadly, I've discovered it's a glorified pangea map (which I've never found fun). Dear Firaxis - Antarctica does not look like this when thawed: It...
