6otM have been running for quite some time now, and with more than 50 games available it's not easy to find the old ones. Those games are created to be played within 1 month from their publication but i know in Civ5, new players kept discovering the GotM and wanted to play old ones for fun. For...

I havn't seen a lot of threads on those guys (and ladies) here so i thought i would start one. I'm going to throw my thoughts about them but i also created this thread to discuss them and hopefully learn something. I know i'm not the best player around so i probably missed some things. I'm not...

Just so you know, i noticed that Steam validation (verify integrity of game files) can fail to detect corrupted files, at least in the case of Civ6 localization files. Since it's the first step people take (or should take) when they encounter bugs, it can be quite annoying. I was testing the...

Just noticed this today and tested it a few times, it "worked" every time. If you start in an advanced era (like renaissance) you cities start with some additional tiles in addition to some buildings. So far so good. However every successive city will get progressively more tiles. If your first...

Most of you probably noticed if you go to Additional Content, there are a number of Multiplayer Scenarios that you can select as if they were mods (which basically they are!) but then if you try to create a single player game, there is no way to have those scenarios available. Here is an easy...

Just found out how to prevent the useless my2K EULA from popping up when you start Civ6. You can perfectly disagree with that EULA and still play the game as it's a totally different service, but it will come back each time you restart (or at least it started doing it for me recently). EDIT...

Hello. Did anybody mess with modifiers yet, and if so, did anybody understood how they work? At first, when i had a look at buildings or policies inside the database and didn't have all the columns for various effects, i wondered where they went. Then i saw the modifiers and the global...

So, today i was playing ruthless Vikings :viking: and saw an unescorted Settler from Tomyris. I paused to consider the situation : on one hand i have a free settler waiting for me, on the other hand she will hate me for surprise DoWing her. Arrpoximately .5 second later i decide to get the free...

Hi all. I've just found a small and easy hack to speed up diplomacy quite a bit. Credit : original idea derived from this thread on Reddit Just like you can skip the startup logo (see link above), you can also disable the (long) fade-in/fade-out of leaders in diplomacy, that occur when you...

OK. So Civ 6 will be out in a few days. The strategy sub-forum is now online. We can be sure there will be some Deity Challenge for Civ6 sooner rather than later, as well as Game of the Month and Hall of Fame so we non-top players should better get ready for those :crazyeye: If people are...

Anybody figured how the quantity of strategic resources is calculated? In the database i found a Resource_QuantityTypes table with the following entries. ResourceType|Quantity RESOURCE_FIRAXITE|2 RESOURCE_FIRAXITE|3 RESOURCE_FLOAT_STONE|2 RESOURCE_FLOAT_STONE|3 RESOURCE_PETROLEUM|2...

Beyond Earth game mechanisms : Health Notes : This guide has been last updated for game version 1.0.0.574. Currently checking for changes introduced by the fall patch (there's a bunch of them) I'm limited to 30 images so while i have the BE fonticons available to use in this post, i can't...

So, most players agree that trade routes are quite overpowered. It looks like the actual calculation for the TR yield is buried inside the dll but there are values in defines that we can tweak. Not sure what they actually do (i will fill as i find out or somebody tells me)...

Just noticed that the exoplanet map pack that was part of the pre-release version of BE is now available as a DLC on steam. http://store.steampowered.com/app/304010/ Apparently (i didn't pre-order) that's 6 new map scripts, one of them seems to be an adaptation of the Tilted Axis script from...

Hi. It's only a suspicion, but it seems like if two AIs decide to join forces against you, they will be stuck at war with no way to negotiate peace. In a recent game, i got DoWed by Asia and France in early mid-game (they were my closest neighbors) they never managed to actually damage my...

Would it be a good idea to keep those separate from the main bugs and crashes as they are related to Ea Media Pack, won't have hotfixes and logs are probably useless? Known visual issues. Copper Mine is invisible. Unimproved copper and pillaged mines show properly but not mines. Cities...

Hi, making this a separate thread, hope it's OK. I was playing with v2 hotfix i (last one) as i started before v3 release today. I've been trying to test the destroyer victory for some time, but couldn't build the temples in most attempts. I posted in the Bugs thread but you were busy with v3 so...

Hi. I see that some civs start with a worker instead of the warrior most civs get (or the unique some civs receive). I'm wondering whether this was designed to help those civs or hinder them to compensate for other strengths :confused: I can see why starting with a worker can be strong for...

Hi there. Just came back to CiV and wanted to see where CivUP was so i downloaded the latest pre-release from GitHub (3.15.1 i think). I've noticed that no in-game hotkeys are working. I can still get the menu with the ESC key but other hotkeys don't work ("H" to heal unit, "space" to skip...

Hi. Havn't played Arabia since BNW. I've read their new UA, and let's say i don't really know what to think of it. Sure UA is only part of a civ and they still have a great UU and a nice UB for gaining more cash. However, i don't really know how to best use their UA. Trade Routes going...
