The separation of leader based trade for luxuries and strategics and trade routes never made sense to me. Sure I can sell you some iron, but none of my trade routes can actually reach you, so I guess it's being shipped special delivery on your couriers ship? I enjoy Kalypsos trading games (Port...

While twiddling my thumbs waiting for the Mac version, I took a peek at steam charts. It looks like Humankind had a launch day peak of 55k players. For comparison Civ 6 had a launch day peak of 165k players. The implication is that Humankind may have sold about a third of what Civ 6's had at...

Secret Societies has me thinking. Existing fantasy/scifi 4x are primarily hard fantasy (i.e. DnD/Tolkein esque) or alien world/space exploration scifi. In their scenarios/game modes, Civ is touching on more of the less well represented sci/fantasy subgenres in gaming. 'Our world with...

Anyone seeing significantly worse performance with AI turn times post -patch? Like even a small map is crawling for me by mid game now. I'm on a (somewhat old) Mac, so it might be mac specific.

I don't know if this is a bug or a 'feature' but I've seen it a few times, including with the most recent patch. Basically, AI captures City State. AI loses city state from loyalty pressure and becomes a free city. Free city flips to me from loyalty - but I'm not given any option to liberate it...

I'm curious what folks think about what format will be coming. Poll will close after 4 days and then I'd ask to close the thread so not to have duplicate speculation threads (I've posted a new thread just for the poll). For clarifications on the questions: By new game mechanics I mean things...

I assume it's the same thing with Persia, but because the Sphinx adds +2 appeal, you can get high faith tiles everywhere. I literally had a 'breathtaking' mine tile. I knew about the Seaside resort affect, but this never occurred to me until a recent Egypt game. Since it's nerf to Breathtaking...

This was on the Mac if that matters. No Mods. Basically, if you trade artifacts with another Civ, it seems to just fill up from the left with open spaces and doesn't take into account where the traded artifact came from. I'm assuming it just processes them as separate sell/buy transactions...

Is this new? Build an archeology museum, and an archaeologist. You can basically dig up artifacts, sell them to the AI (without the museum being complete), and keep continually digging until all the AI civs run out of space (your Archaeologist doesn't disappear after three - only when the museum...

I mean sort of literally - the description is saying +1 culture for every two adjacent moai, but it looks like it's giving +1 for every adjacent moai from what I can see. Is anyone else seeing this? With the fact that you can basically build them everywhere (not just the coast) it escalates quickly.

I'm a bit confused - Dido captured a city state (classical era). A message appeared saying I could spent 30 favor to call a special session for this emergency. I did so. Then nothing happened - it's been several turns. How long before the special session appears?

Between R&F and GS there was the "will we or won't we have civ DLC between expansions" question. The assumption was we probably wouldn't because Firaxis would be stuck between a rock and a hard place - either releasing DLC Civs that required R&F (and becoming the first company to release DLC...

Wait, when did this come out: https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/9193/Sid_Meiers_Civilization_VI_Gold_Edition/ I almost thought they weren't going to do one for 6.

ONLINE SERVICES ENGINEER Firaxis Games is looking for an Online Services Engineer to help enrich our games with services such as matchmaking, player stats, leaderboards, analytics, entitlement platforms, anti-cheat and security, customer service tools, and more. Responsibilities: Work...

I understand they didn't want to go to crazy with the era points, but to me there seems to be some gaps/surprising omissions. National parks are the biggest one for me. They are usually a challenge (even with the Eiffel tower), and it seems to be era point worthy. And seems like it could have...

And here's the females. I've limited it to only two votes, given the significantly fewer numbers.

There's been several requests, so I thought I'd make one. You can pick your top three. Feel free to comment as to your choices (in a site-appropriate way of course!) Personally, my votes went to Jayavarman (what can I say, I like a little meat over the six pack), Hojo (his classically handsome...

I remember a while back there was some speculation about a sketch of a sword wielding female that had been posted by a Firaxis character artist. There was theories it was Joan of Arc for an alt French leader. That seems clearly not the case. But who could it fit? Would that work for a theorized...

I know the dev streams have been mainly focused on the ages systems, but have we seen any more on these? My impression from the info we have it'll be something like: you capture a holy site. All civs following that religion declare an emergency have 20 turns to recapture it from you, getting...

So what do we know about it so far: Loyalty seems to be one per population per citizen in a 'normal' age, varying in dark/gold/heroic ages, with amenities, with specific policy cards and governor placement. It exerts pressure up to 9 squares away (-10%) per tile. Do we know what this pressure...
