I did a lot of these topics for Civ5, with the format inspired by kaspergm. There are a lot more variable options in Civ6 in my opinion and I find this makes it a harder game to get into. These topics were a good insight for me into what works well and what is harder to make work, as such I...

http://imgur.com/a/hBapK You can see here I liberated Berlin from Kongo - the game says I have 7 capitals but Germany still has its original capital - this is the capital it "gained" when it was resurrected Also because Barbarossa was at war with me when I conquered Germany in the early game...

Interesting to see this common Civ5 situation playing out in real life. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-26704205

I found some ancient ruins on turn 180 and decided to test what happened. Several reloads (random seed) and the only rewards I've received are different amounts of gold, advanced weapons (free upgrade) and a population boost. Is it still possible to get faith/culture/science from these...

I used playshogi's save from this topic: http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=504089 (btw the map itself is highly entertaining, it's a shame it starts from turn 100 because I could easily play this to conclusion) I beelined chivalry, allied the city state and got a conquistador...

Early in Civ5's life much fuss was made about how Civ4 was better, but after balancing patches and two expansions in G&K and BNW, now is probably a fairer time to compare the two. So which do you think is the better game?

Just a thought I had, but the difficulty of Civ seems to be derived from the headstart the AI gets. In particular, by the time ideologies come around if a human player has taken the lead they will nearly always retain that lead and win. It can make the endgame pretty dull by comparison. So why...

Thanks to everyone who voted! We're not quite done yet, I'll be doing the ideologies next, but I figured I'd do a results topic for the regular social policies before moving on. Topics are below. As before, some forum members went above and beyond and posted some very good analysis of the...

Right there seems to be some confusion as to whether tourism or culture defends against ideology pressure. The answer to this is both are required to defend. Click the tourism button at the top of the screen. This gives you the following screen: You can also choose from the dropdown menu to...

I've been going the Piety route but there is something to be said for how small that leaves your capital's borders thanks to avoiding the tradition opener. I'm starting to think Tradition - Liberty - Republic - Collective Rule might be a good starting order. Opening tradition allows you to...

I met a traveller from an antique land Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone Stand in the desart. Near them, on the sand, Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown, And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command, Tell that its sculptor well those passions read Which yet...

It seems to me that gold is now king. You can basically control the game through the world congress. On top of that, with most victories you will pass through at least one world leader vote, it's possible to trade away all your luxuries for votes to other leaders and use gold to buy off...

And on which difficulty levels? When I play on Prince, I basically have control of the entire game (i.e. leading in most demographics) by turn 200 and from there it's basically just waiting out until I win. But on King the game is still pretty open by turn 200. On the one hand, I like to...
