I took a year off from Civ 6 and am getting back into it, learning things that have changed. I got fascinated by the idea of peaceful domination using Eleanor and started up a game to give it a try. I will upfront admit that I will save checkpoints at major spots, and will go back and replay...

I haven't seen this mentioned yet, so I apologize if this is something everyone knows. I've been working on learning to use Eleanor and have a game up into the turn 300s. I was sailing some aircraft carriers to the other continent to deal with Grand Columbia, when the Incas sank one with a jet...

I've got an emperor game as China that I am fooling around with trying to learn the balance to get faster Science victories. I'm pretty isolated on one side of a mountain range with lots of places for +4 and +5 campuses. On my first play through on this I have about 8 cities at turn 150...

I know (because I've seen the finishes) that is is possible to get the tech tree filled out in the turn 180 time frame. What is the strategy for doing that? I'm replaying a map that I know well now to see what can be done to get a fast science victory. I seem to be able to get a good start...

I generally save my turn 1 positions to allow myself to go back and replay the game when everything goes to hell. I like to try to figure out what strategy would work for the map/situation. I know this gives me a big advantage of know goodie huts and CS positions, but I'm always trying to...

This is a hybrid strategy that I've been playing with over the last few weeks. I'm not hugely familiar with BE, so would appreciate comments on my approach. Is there anything I could be doing better? Stealing your way to victory The concept behind this strategy is a derived combination of...

I'm working on a strategy and wanted to take the concept through all of the finishes. I'm working through Transcendence and finished the Mind Flower, but it is telling me 30+ turns until the victory, but Stem and Sanctuaries can reduce this time. Well I already built them. I tried selling a...

Poca plops one of his super land grabbing cities right next to my capital, then on the next turn I put a city sort of in his general direction. Next turn he pops up all mad at me for settling in his lands. I really want an option that I can tell the other civs, "if you settle anywhere near...

I'm in a game right now where I was was rushing to Industrial Era to get allied CS votes in the World Congress. Well I went into the era by getting Scientific Theory 4 turns before the vote, but the CS vote for a new leader didn't trigger. Is there another necessary condition to get CS...

I'm trying to win the GOTM on a replay (Deity, Cultural VC) and as I look at the tourism screen, I realize that I have no idea what all the information means. All I know is the competition is generating hundreds of little suitcases, while I'm generating about 20. Has someone started a thread...

I'm trying to make my way through playing all of the Civs, since there are so many I've not played because they didn't "pique my interest". Askia is one of those civs that I've ignored because I didn't see the advantage. Triple gold from barb camps? During the course of a game I'll clear...

I've got an immortal game I am trying to win, and I'm looking for advice on dealing with Hiawatha. I'm playing as Greece, and I have a good start in a very defensible part of the map. Only Ethiopia is with me, and I can pretty much knock him out of the game whenever I want. The problem is...

I was finally able to bully some CSs during the GOTM I just finished. I was able to get two CS to cough up cash twice by parking a longsword and two CBs on their border. But after that, they never "feared me" again. Can someone explain how this works? I was number 1 in soldiers at the...

I'm getting a real education by seeing how other people succeeded on the GOTM, and trying out their strategies. One thing I am finding is that I can't match the science output they are getting, using the same city locations and the same strategy. I'm thinking the problem is that my cities...

I've never seen anything other than red "you can't do this" on this screen. I'm sitting next to a CS with two archers and a warrior on turn 43, but the CS couldn't care less. How many do I need?

I'm finishing up the GOTM, and a situation came up that happens more often than not for me. I usually play mostly peaceful games, building a small number of units while concentrating on tech. I don't build a significant army until later in the game when I'm using infantry against muskets (for...

I'm playing around with the 4 city tradition opening on Immortal, and getting decent results (except with the Iroquois for some reason). Getting 4 cities and CBs between turns 60 and 70 is pretty easy now, and I usually can get my NC up between turns 90 and 100. But just today, I realized...

Be sure that you are offering 100 gold to complete the agreement... NOT 100 gold per turn :blush: Tossing away 3000 gold on one RA isn't really a good deal. *face palm*

I'd like to better understand the effects of various selections on the resulting terrain. I like to play on maps with mountain ranges, but can't figure out which scripts will reliably produce them. I'd also like to know what some of the other selections do. Like with world age, I try to...

I'm playing an islands map this time around, and am considering playing a more navy centric domination game. It appears that you don't start to get decent naval units until Navigation, which is pretty far up the tech tree. Does anyone have some tips for building a navy? Build Triremes and...
