    [LP] My hopes for improvements to the main game between now and March 2023

    If this has been brought up elsewhere, then I apologize....but I really need to vent about this issue. As much as I certainly won't turn down free new content, I do hope Firaxis also use the Leader Pass as an opportunity to fix some glaring issues I have noticed since the NFP came out. 1) AI...

    [NFP] A "Wars of Religion" Mode?

    I really think its time we had a mode that did for Religion what the Monopolies & Corporation mode did for Luxury Resources. Religion, at the surface level, is a very fun mechanic-even more so than in Civ 4 or Civ5. However, I do think there are ways to further improve it, via a new mode. The...

    [NFP] Talk about amazing timing!

    OK, this is a very quick post, to self-congratulate about my amazing timing. I was well into a game as The Cree when this new Update was announced....and so was worrying about if I could complete the game before the update launched. Well, as the game progressed, it looked very likely that I...

    [NFP] What features/improvements do you hope they add in the remaining updates?

    As the title says, what are your hopes for the remaining paid & free updates for this season of the New Frontier Pass? It can be anything at all, even if you don't think its very likely.....this is just a spit-balling exercise. That said, I am going to try to keep my own hopes reasonably...

    [NFP] Extending the new Economic Mechanics to *all* resources

    As the title suggests, I can see no logical reason why the same economic mechanics used in the most recent update (Monopolies, Industries, Corporations) couldn't be extended to *all* resources-Luxury, Bonus & Strategic. After all, who wouldn't want to try and get an Oil or Coal Monopoly in the...

    [GS] Making Bonus Resources more interesting

    One thing I'd like to see is for Bonus Resources to be as important as Luxury and Strategic Resources, outside of the bonuses they grant to the tile they sit on. This could be achieved in several ways. 1. Increase the number & diversity of Bonus resources within the game-so, instead of just...

    [GS] New Creeland?

    So I am playing The Cree on a Terra Map, & have begun to settle the Continent of Ur.....in the New World (because I love the Irony ;) ). So, I'm thinking of calling this new colony I am building "New Creeland", what do you think? :)

    [GS] Future Update?

    Sure I'm jumping the gun a lot, but do you think it likely we might get another update this year-say around November or early December? If so, what do think think-or hope-will be included? For me, it'd be: -Plague Mechanics (& ways to counter them). -more 3rd party diplomacy (3rd party...

    [GS] Named Deserts.....how do I get them in-game?

    I am seriously confused about this one. I have never managed to have named Deserts in the game.....yet everyone assures me you can set the game to show them. Can anyone please tell me how this would be done? Thanks in advance. Aussie.

    [GS] [Story] 1001 Arabian Nights

    .....For time immemorial, the Arabian Tribes-people fished, hunted & gathered along the banks of the Nile River, moving from the plains to the forests-& back again-as required by necessity, & creating makeshift shelters whenever the elements became too extreme. This latter task was aided by the...

    [GS] Ideas for adding Plague and Earthquakes

    So I was thinking about how the titular disasters could be added to the game without making the game "un-fun". This is kind of the best I could come up with, & I was wondering what you guys thought of these ideas. Plagues: I think that what is set out in The Black Death scenario is definitely a...

    [GS] Dark Age Dedications & Golden Age Policies

    One thing I'd love to see is a further fleshing out of the Age Mechanic. In particular I'd like to see Dedications specific for Dark Ages-these could be Dark Reflections of the Golden Age Dedications of the same flavour. So a Dark Age version of "Exodus of Evangelists", for example, might give...

    [R&F] Great to know that my last game of R&F is going to be memorable!

    It's true, you know. Playing on King, & its been a very intense experience-but a fun one, nonetheless. I confess I've already save-scummed due to losing the Pyramids, my repeat run proved a little bit more successful (just from building Ancient Walls before war was declared.....& by using my...

    My "ideal" 3rd X-Pack

    OK, I know there is already a thread for this, but I'd like to just post my thoughts in one single place. If you have any thoughts on my list, please feel free to share them :). Expanded Diplomatic Options: Most Especially 3rd Party Diplomacy. Options like asking a Civ to change governments...

    [R&F] Bye bye Pyramids :'(.

    Well that came as a huge shock. Was playing as China, & found myself with Chandragupta's India to my South. We were initially getting along great, but the closeness of my cities to his was clearly starting to annoy him.....so he declared a surprise war on me. His own forces, alone, caught me...

    If Firaxis brought back Ideologies, what ideologies would you want to see?

    As the title says, if the Ideology system from Civ5 BNW were to make a reappearance, what ideologies would you like to see? For my part? Fundamentalism, Totalitarianism & Egalitarianism (Socialism?) are the ones I'd most like to see. Just curious/theory-crafting.

    Ideas for additional Diplomatic Interactions in Civ 6

    Although I feel that Civilization VI diplomacy is some of the best I have seen in the Franchise, there are still some additional Interactions-both Major Civ & City State-that I would love to see-perhaps in a 3rd Expansion or in DLC's. It probably won't surprise you to find most of the ideas here...

    [GS] Should in-game events/actions impact on Ages

    Just a thought I had. Although previous Dark Ages/Golden Ages do impact on the score required for the next Age, I got to thinking that there could be ways to make the Age system even more dynamic. Negative Events (Disasters, having War Declared, losing a City to disloyalty) & Player Actions...

    [GS] More Theme Bonuses, please

    Its great to hear that they're revisiting the Culture victory, & the Rock-band thing looks very cool. However, I hope they haven't ruled out the possibility of revisiting the more extensive Theme bonuses available in Brave New World. In BNW, IIRC, many of the Wonders in the game had their own...

    [GS] What Governments/Civics/Social Policies are going to get an overhaul?

    So whilst I was coming up with my post regarding under-representation of labor systems, I noticed the Resource Management Social Policy, & realized this will almost certainly be needing an overhaul in GS. That got me thinking, though, what other Social Policies, Civics & Government Types do you...
