So there are a few threads running about concerning mechanics and graphics for Civ 7, which are certainly important (personally, I like the graphics style choices they made for Civ6, especially once they got into later DLCs, and think they're already showing that they'll age better than any...

So I'm on one of my recurring Civ kicks again (happens every few months, I get utterly sucked in again for a month or two before burning out for a while.) And I'm realizing the way I really love to play this game/series: I don't particularly care about "winning" a game. Basically, I play through...

Just a quick question for something I've never been clear on, and I figured I'd check on here before going through the trouble to experiment with it myself: When playing in secret societies mode, if your Society's unique building (i.e. Gilded Vault or Alchemical Society) replaces the same...

This is largely a musing, but I'm curious whether I've just had an idiosyncratic experience here or if this is a widely understood thing... I've been playing regularly enough and long enough now to have just a visceral reaction to seeing Kupe pop up on screen. I'm sure that part of this is...

Pardon me if this has been brought up over here once or a million times before now, but maybe the most maddening thing in Civ 6, which somehow has apparently never been updated or fixed, just came up again, and I need to make sure I'm not missing something obvious here. Put simply: I'm John...

For all of the one or two other people still checking this corner of the sandbox: I've been really playing around with BERT (finally) in the last couple of weeks, and have had some good runs with almost every sponsor, save for two: KP and SF. I haven't messed around with KP yet simply because...

What works for you about the Religion Game in Civ VI (or in previous iterations of Civ)? What doesn’t? Looking into the (possibly distant) future for Civ7, what would an ideal Religion game look like to you? As somebody who prefers faith-based games of Civ, I’ve been thinking over this quite a...

Hello. Playing through Steam on a MacBook, and have been for a while. To my knowledge it's never done this before, but suddenly this morning the game window is just a little too big for my screen, cutting off the bottom, crucially the "play" button, but also some info at the very bottom of the...

Playing a Poland game, which I’ve barely even tried before, while waiting for the new release to pop tomorrow. Not really thinking about it, I went with Voidsingers because they want to found a religion and want relics, but looking at it, Owls of Minerva could also be great for them, with two...

So, In an effort to keep this game interesting (and improve my "games finished" to "games started" ratio a bit) I'm about to embark on a silly experiment to see how hard I can go all-in on Emissaries in a game, and see how much of a difference it makes. I plan on playing through peacefully...

...Before winning a Culture Victory, I mean? Maybe it's just the level I play at (Emperor) but every time I set out for a Science Victory, just playing as a general "builder" sort I end up winning by Culture before I'm anywhere near Science. In these games, I tend to press science hard, but...

Maybe there's a mod for this already, I don't know, but... I was in a situation tonight that was fairly novel to me, though I bet most of you have seen something like it. Playing as Gorgo, I'm on a continent with Tomyris to the south with a good amount of buffer room and touch-and-go but...

I don't know if anyone else is having this problem, but Civ VI ran generally fine for me, even with the GS expansion, except for a few glitches. After switching to Mojave I can barely start it and it creaks to a grinding halt when I do. This is... frustrating. Anyone know any fixes? Thank you!

Hey all, I did a thread on this a few years back with Civ 5, but decided it was time for a new one. So, who are your Go-To Civs, and why? I don't necessarily mean who do you think is the most powerful on Diety - there are enough discussions around that and even a general consensus of sorts...

So, of all the upcoming Civs in the base game, I'm probably most excited about Kongo, not from any personal experience (I'm a european-descended white dude who's lived most of his life in America) but because African civilizations always, to me, present the most potential promise for this series...

A few things, but all of which stem from the fact that I'm just bad at playing Domination games, and as old as Civ V is, it seems like most of my future fun with it will be in getting better there. I know that, strategically, Domination Victory isn't particularly difficult. In part I've...

So, having just finished a King-level game with Poland where by the end I was basically sabotaging my cultural and diplomatic victory opportunities because I wanted to win via science (while avoiding a lot of wars I could have easily won, as well) I'm moving to Emperor and wanting to finally...

I recently read a post (sorry that I can't find and credit it right now) where someone mentioned modding Spain's UA so that there was a universal bonus for finding a Natural Wonder, smaller than the current "find it first" and larger than the current "find it at all" that thus made them less of...

Apologies if this is a well-worn subject by now. Getting back into Civ V after some absence, I realized/remembered that while Alex is always the leader I groan the most at when encountering, because the AI seems to play him so crazy well, I had no idea how to play him properly myself, so I've...

So after a monumentally dominant Morocco game on Prince level, I realized it was time to step it up again. Now, I'm not entirely clear on all of the benefits that the AI gets on King+, but I knew that starting techs were among them and that I wouldn't be able to swing for early wonders, etc...
