1. Bolshoi Theater and Broadway have slots for both Great Works of Writing and Great Works of Music. However, on the Great Works screen, the empty slots for writing have the image of music instead (they still function as writing slots they just have the wrong icon showing). 2. In my last GS...

Most players should be aware that cities can work the first three rings of tiles (which can also be bought with gold). Over time, cities can also acquire 4th and 5th Ring Tiles (and with Marcus Licinius Crassus you can technically get 6th Ring, 7th Ring, and 8th Ring Tiles). Now these tiles...

In my current game as Sweden, the first time there was a World Congress during the Industrial Era we had the Nobel Prize for Physics competition (which I won, getting bonus resources for oil and aluminum). During the second World Congress it was the Nobel Prize for Literature (which I won)...

Proposals (A vs B) and Competitions (including Emergencies) are handled differently. It seems like if every single civ votes for themselves (tie break with 1 vote for everyone), you end up winning. If A and B have equal votes, how do they determine which one wins? If A wins but within A, there...

1. I have Secret Access or Top Secret Access to all the other Civs. The AI's seem to be getting a very disproportionate number of Cat Burglar promotions. It makes me think that either the randomization of spy promotions is not working for the AI's or the espionage report of what promotion they...

Does anyone know what the algorithms / calculations are for the chance of a nuclear leak / meltdown based on the age of your Nuclear Power Plant? Just trying to figure out what age(s) are the optimal times to recommission the power plants. Thanks.

In GS, before you get access to renewable power options (Hydroelectric, Geothermal, Solar, Wind), occasionally some cities have some innate renewable power sources. Early on, it happened with two cities that had originally settled on resources (one on Quicksilver, one on Horses) but throughout...

I've found that as the game progresses, AI's consistently offer less gold for luxuries and strategic resources. Why is that? Do they need happiness less? Do they value gold more or value the resources less? Or is it a side effect of the diplomacy system (where they dislike you over time)? In...

I haven't played Civ VI since before Rise and Fall so maybe I missed something but in my new R&F game: AI Kongo has two Great Works of Writing in their Palace (Kongo's special gives them 5 slots). When AI Korea takes Kongo's capital, the Great Works of Writing disappear. (Same if I trade a...

Normally, Relics provide 4 Faith + 8 Tourism. When you are suzerain of Kandy, you get +50% Faith from Relics. Jadwiga of Poland gets an additional +2 Faith, +2 Culture, and +4 Gold from Relics. The Reliquaries religious belief triples Faith and Tourism for Relics. In a recent game (with the...

Version 1.0 This is a first run-through of a guide analyzing the Warmongering mechanic. At the moment, it is a bit bare bones but eventually I can pretty it up. Introduction In both Civilization V and Civilization VI, lots of players have complained about the Warmongering mechanic. Many of...

The game currently has 16 Relics. Here is a poll to share what your favorite is. I arbitrarily decided to let people vote for their favorite 3. My favorite three are: 1. Philosopher's Stone (looks really cool) 2. Ark of the Covenant (also looks nice) 3. Grass Cutting Sword (sounds cool) My...

I am finding that occasionally, Great People costs for a given era are higher than normal (around 33% higher). This first happened several games ago when I passed on a Great Person. I thought it had something to do with passing. But in my current game as Brazil, all of the newly appearing...

Kongo cannot build Holy Sites. What is more, is that if you play as Kongo (as I did) and you conquer a Holy Site, it is destroyed. However, you still end up with some sort of "phantom holy site." In one game, I conquered an early Holy Site and even though it was destroyed, it kept generating...

Where in the game files does it map the great works to the names of the great people? I have been able to find lists of Great People names. And I have been able to find lists of the Great Works. But I can't find the file where it maps one to the other. Thanks.

When you capture a city through conquest, there is a percent chance that some buildings are destroyed. However even if you gain control of a city through trade or through a peace deal, some buildings still disappear: 1. It looks like defensive buildings (walls, castle) automatically go...

Many of you know that Civ V has a limited list of Great People names (particularly, Writers, Artists, and Musicians who can create Great Works). Once the game has gone through the list, future great people just have a generic "Great XXX" (none of who can create Great Works). I wonder why the...

I am working on a mod, that modifies some existing XML files and modifies existing Lua files. The XML changes work fine, and I use UpdateDatabase under the Actions section. From what I've read, to utilize the Lua modifications, I need to go to the Contents section and select IngameUIAddin...

I'm working on my first mod. The rest of the mod (using XML) seems to work fine, but I am having issues with XML (all of it has <GameData> tags but I will not include them in the rest of this post) and Lua code involving Natural Wonders. 1. I would like to increase the number of Natural...

I'm working on my first Civ V mod and I'm having issues with incorporating Lua changes. (The XML changes seem to be working fine). Right now I am having two issues: 1. When opening a large Lua file (such as replacing the "AssignStartingPlots.lua" which is 462 KB), Mod Buddy takes a really long...
