So I have no idea how to solve this, perhaps this would require reworking how some fundamentals systems work, but I've always been weirded out by the way the border expansion and the unclaimed land works in civ series. Basically, it's really weird how in civ 1) There is no way for territorially...

So, this year I had a little Africanist phase for some time, and I have decided to make my own amateurish map of main nations of Africa, basing on Wikipedia. There are 90 nations on this interactive map, incuding their rough amateurish estimates of inhabited area, rough amateurish estimates of...

We all know the eternal endgame curse of 4X games (and some other strategy games but not not all of them). When a typical 4X game begins, it is so interesting; but we abandon so many games we begin, because they often (not always) become significantly less exciting the longer game session goes...

I actually had hope this is going to happen this year, but it went to zero by some early May (I expected announcement no later than early May, followed by October release) after already being lowered once I have realized how covid pandemic probably slowed down the development process very much...

How would you like Persia/Iran (I am torn between those named) to look in civ7? Personally I'm tited to death of getting always Persia based on Achaemenid empire, Cyrus or Darius, expansionist style, Immortal unique unit. The last one is an insult to injury, as it was a military unit really...

Title. This thread is specifically devoted to those cultures you'd enjoy seeing in civ games, but you know their chances are extremely low and extremely few people seem to consider them. I think separate topic for them is a good idea, because in any regular "what civs would you..." they are...

Hello Personally I'm Polish, not Ukrainian, but it is enough for me to get invested about our eastern eighbors who share cuisine with us There are many negative associations around Ukrainian history, which actually ma be connected to certain political events and agenda of their actors, and...

For a very long time, terrain in this game and yields were based on the simple rule described in the title. There are two problems however 1) It always creates problems and general frustration with balancing the map, when you either have a very big hilly areas that can never grow properly, or...

I have a lot of beef with how India is portrayed in civ series. In general, I have a feeling that India is treated the worst by the modern Western popculture, even worse than Islamic world. 1) Gandhi has to go, I know it has been introduced to this series because in nineties it was about the...

Title. Tell us about some previously unseen in game world wonders of architecture you'd like to see, and why. Maybe I'll post hre myself, but for now I have no idea yet. I'd just love to see more stuff from India and Eastern Europe.

Title. There is a reasonable maximum of thirty options in the poll, so I have given five per each era, trying to aim at some popular suggestions or the most spectacular absences from given eras. I have limited allowed resoonses to 12, to really force the choice of priorities (also I have a weird...

I have always assumed everybody except me loves this distinction, because apparently me and civ6 are the worst date ever, so anyway let'a criticize it. The distinction originally received a lot of praise because 1) It won't create any problems, right? 2) It means more stuff and choices...

Civ6 basically had the exact same religion system as civ5 G&K, just with way more active unit spam, which was not received well by the playerbase. And now Humankind has basically the same (though really vestigial) religion system, so some innovations would be nice. The big issue of that kind of...

It doesn't have to be 'realistically I know they wouldn't do this because of mass appeal or whatever' Mine dream civ7 would be: 1) As revolutionary vs civ6 as was civ5 when compared to civ4 (unlike very soft evolution from civ5 to civ6). 2) Fundamentally designed to be as dynamic as possible...

Perhaps my most hated feature of both civ5 and civ6 is warmongering penalties. You conquer some random civ nobody cares about and everyone is neutral about, in the ancient age, and the world hates you for it. For ages. Even better, you defend yourself from foreign agression, enemy (whom nobody...

Title: post your opinions of the game which you think may be controversial or unpopular. But they still jave to be nice and civil :) Of course nobody fully knows 'how unpopular this opinion of mine is' but gambling and then arguing is part of fun in such threads Mine: - Rise and Fall expansion...

Title. I think this is the most important problem of Civ series and 4X games in general. It is not that hard to do a fun early - to - mid 4X gameplay. You throw a bit of exploration here, some important foundational decisions there, micromanagement is not too big, competition is roughly equal at...

In civ6 you have Ancient, Classical, Medieval, Renaissance, Industrial, Modern, Atomic, Information and Future. Personally I dislike this division, because I think it's absurd that you get the same amount of eras for preindustrial 5700 years of history as for postindustrial 150. I also have the...

I have decided to post this because I think a lot of the greatest issues of this game boil down to central IMO very flawed designs of the very basic economic system, and that connection is rarely made among various discussions about the game and how to improve it. I don't think it would be...

I know there is already a thread for this, but I wanted to create my own take on it, made in a more strict format, and as you will see: goddamn this definitely shouldn't be a message in somebody else's thread. Humankind has many admirable qualities, I definitely more believe in my ability to...
