    [NFP] Transferring Hall of Fame?

    Hello all, I just bought a new laptop and am currently installing Civ 6 on it. I was wondering if there was a way to transfer my Hall of Fame data from my old laptop to my new one? It's not a deal breaker or anything but I do have wins with all leaders and I like having my old scores to look...

    [NFP] Who WON'T change in the April update?

    There has been a lot of speculation (and rightfully so) about potential changes that could be coming in the April Update. I'd like to turn the conversation around and ask which civs/leaders people expect will NOT be adjusted in the patch... after all, we were told that 2/3rds would be adjusted...

    [NFP] Archaeological Ruins and Ethiopia

    Ruins seem to show up on tiles that were the sites of battles earlier in the game. This doesn't seem to happen every battle, so I was wondering... is there any kind of rhyme or reason behind how this mechanic works or how many ruins can or will spawn? Continuing on that line of thought, could...

    [NFP] The new Diplomatic Quarter District

    I know it's early and we still don't have all the details about it, but it's never to early for discussion. Where (and when) do you think you should build your Diplomatic Quarter district? On one hand, it seems like you'd want to build it in your capital which in my experience is usually (but...

    Laws of Civilization

    We all know that there are certain things that always seem to happen when loading up a game of Civilization. I thought it might be fun/humorous to codify a list of these Laws of Civilization in a thread. Feel free to add to the list - be creative and have fun with it! Here are a few to start...

    AI sure do love putting Amani in Taruga...

    Not really sure if this is a bug or not but figured I'd at least share. In my current game there are 5 Amani governors in Taruga, and another poster showed a screenshot where there were 6 Amani governors there. Here's the thread...

    Now *THAT'S* what I call loyalty pressure...

    I'm playing a game as Netherlands and settled the city of Maastricht. The city was somewhat forward settled... it's sandwiched in between England and Egypt but is still right next to two of my own cities and is not very far from the core of empire. I put both the government plaza AND a governor...

    Great People That Could Use Some Help

    Which great people strike you as needing buffs? They are certainly not all balanced with one another and some of them are pretty bad. Who do you always pass on? The one that always comes to my mind is Leonardo da Vinci. A whopping +1 culture to all my workshops? No thanks.

    [NFP] Post-Update Founder Beliefs

    I am curious about how the AI chooses founder beliefs after the update. Before the update, the AI always chose the same ones in the same order (warriors monks first, then divine inspiration second, etc). The order has definitely changed now, but I'm wondering if it's still a static order or if...

    [NFP] Ethiopia Conjecture

    Looking ahead, anybody want to start making predictions about what Ethiopia will look like in a few months? I think we can narrow down a few things based on what we know: 1) With Maya being geared towards science and Gran Columbia geared towards domination, I think Ethiopia is likely to be...

    A Tale of Two Teddies

    OK, so we know that there is a second version ("persona") of Teddy Roosevelt coming as part of the Frontier Pass for those who buy the whole thing. We know that he is being called "Rough Rider Teddy" or something similar. We've been told that he will have not only a different appearance, but...

    [GS] Is an Ancient Era start actually balanced?

    ...because it seems to me whether I win a game or not almost entirely comes down to whether or not I can survive the ancient era. Now I totally understand that there are a lot of players here better than I am, but I'm no slouch either - I play and win on deity the majority of my games... *IF* I...

    Rules for Barbarian Spawns?

    I'm curious if there are actual rules for when and where barbarian camps can spawn. Obviously they can only spawn under the fog, but other than that it seems like there isn't much. I think it's kind of silly that a barb camp can spawn 2 tiles away from my border with a scout immediately right...

    Underrated Civs?

    Which civs do you think are currently underrated in terms of how people view them in Civ 6, and why do you think so?

    [GS] Governor Balance

    I'm curious what people's thoughts are on the current state of the governors are in terms of balance. I liked a lot of the changes they made not long ago, but I still don't think they're all on even ground. The one that jumps out to me the most is Liang, who I personally hardly ever use these...

    [GS] Winning Diplomatic Victory w/ less than 20 points

    Apologies if this is already known, but thought it was funny. I've been playing a game with Sweden, heading towards both a diplomatic and cultural victory. The cultural victory was a just a matter of time, but I was only a 3 points away from a diplomatic victory so I thought I'd go after that...

    [GS] Experiences trading for strategic resources?

    I seem to always have bad luck when it comes to having strategic resources in my territory. I'm lucky if I get one of iron or horses (which is ok, but sometimes I get neither), I'm usually luckier with niter, but I pretty much never seem to have any access to oil. Now I'm not complaining about...

    [GS] Great Prophets

    Last night in my game the 5th (and final) great prophet was claimed in the Modern Era. Standard sized continents map. The first three went fairly quickly, the fourth was a bit later. India got wiped out by a fellow AI early in the game, and I'd imagine he would've claimed one of the 5 religions...

    Military Strength

    Apologies if this has been discussed before ad nauseum, but it seems to me like the calculations for military strength greatly overestimate how strong I actually am. I am, at heart, a builder. Even when I know that I need to keep an army around, I always seem to get distracted by a building...
