    [GS] Wondrous Wonders (Updated for Gathering Storm)

    Sadly, I'm afraid I appear to have found a problem - perhaps due to the recent R&F patch? When enabled - this mod seems to break access to the Great Works screen. Game doesn't crash or anything - the Great Works screen simply won't open. I don't think it's conflicting with any other mods -...

    [R&F] Cannot open Great Works screen...

    Drat.... Found it - it appears that it's Wondrous Wonders.... which sucks because I love that mod.

    The perfect city

    I like the original list - as a turtler who has probably spent nearly HALF his gameplay time with constant "restart... restart... restart" - I'm very much amendable to the idea that the perfect city is always the start goal. Yes, I always reveal all - because there's nothing that bothers me...

    [R&F] Does Civ “Front Load” too much?

    I think so. Granted, I'm playing with a lot of mods and customizations that suit my playstyle (a classic wonder whore turtler) - so I'm sure that also contributes... but I think there are other items that are agnostic to this that contribute as well. For example, the fact that it's better -...

    All Quiet on the Civ Front

    Oh, I do. I'm a Civ4 curmudgeon who hated civ5 - but has finally learned to at least "like" civ6 - but among the things they should look to- 1) Naval/ocean play is complete crap. Yeah, I get it - nobody wants to go back to building transports (because most of you are lazy @#$@#s) - but...

    General Civ VI Questions

    Yeah, hammers are REAL bear in civ6... I didn't play much civ5 - but if you're a veteran of civ4 and earlier, the production curve is a YUGE change. Patience is a key - builds take forever, so - 1) Don't react, plan. If you're building in response to something (a DoW, etc) - you're probably...

    [R&F] Cannot open Great Works screen...

    Mainly hoping someone can point me to documentation or a list of UI function calls so I can find out which mod is preventing me from opening the Great Works screen... I don't get a crash or anything - it's just that nothing happens when I try to open the screen regardless of clicking into or...

    Is it really this impossible to create/edit a simple map?

    Oy.... Thanks for the help - I'll give it a go... Unfortunately - the two best turtler natural wonders (tone sap and mt fuji) are the one's I'd like to place near me and sound like they're out of bounds. Yeesh.... those of us who enjoy the meandering turtle games - rather than victory...

    Is it really this impossible to create/edit a simple map?

    So I've enabled map builder... created and saved a test map... but cannot play it... I've downloaded various map mods... examined file/directory structure... tried to mimic.... but no dice. All I want to do is create slightly modified random maps -- adding stone here, moving around natural...

    A Civ4 pouter looks for some civ6 modding help...

    Thanks - I did - multiple times - watch through one of the videos (the 30 minute one I've also seen referenced here), but yeah... like I said - it sort of glosses over the civ/leader trait aspects in favor of the flavor aspects... though still quite good (and hey - any modder that wants to...

    A Civ4 pouter looks for some civ6 modding help...

    OK - after pouting my way through civ5, I'm making a concerted effort to try to like civ6 and having some success with that.... But - little bit of help using Modbuddy - and in particular, perhaps pointing me to a reference to tag/reference appropriateness - would be of great help. Forgive an...

    Caveman 2 Cosmos

    Gotcha... though - gotta say... this is a truly extraordinary run of bad luck like I've never seen before -- popped another 10 or so (and tried a few save/reloads - I've got new random seed enabled). I know the goodies scale to difficulty - but I've still just got to monarch. I should also...

    Caveman 2 Cosmos

    Running v28 on a gigantic world, eternity speed with flexible difficulty (I just entered monarch) -- Due to starting out ridiculously easy - I sprinted out to a very early lead and got to rafts well ahead of everyone... Not that I need them at this point - but every. single. unexplored...

    Caveman 2 Cosmos

    Just wanted to pass along my compliments on the optimization in v27 -- I never found v26 to be especially slow, but certain functions like regenerating maps and even accessing the WB in-game are noticeably faster in v27... kudos!

    Caveman 2 Cosmos (ideas/discussions thread)

    Thanks to everyone for a truly phenomenal mod - v23 will be my 5th version and I'm sure I'll love it as much as the previous... A couple questions - 1) First, I'm probably one of the few that really likes events, so one thing I do with each iteration is set all events to be one-per-civ...

    facebook civ alpha

    It's become pretty obvious what needs to be done - the internet must be burned to ground and all gateways salted so it can never grow again.

    Was there anything GOOD about streamlining?

    I don't know about that. Without checking receipts, I'd be willing to bet I've spent $150 on EU3 between vanilla and all the expansions. I'll grant it would never be a blockbuster - and everyone wants blockbusters (I guess so marketing can get paid to run enormous advert campaigns) - but...

    Why is it boring? Too long between rewards.

    Right - balance is the key. At a high level, yes -- more would help, but it can hurt if more leads to unbalance. I was fine with vanilla BTS... until I found RoM/AND --- and on RoM/AND, I played with virtually all options enabled, eternity/enormous (or whatever the slowest/largest settings...

    Why is it boring? Too long between rewards.

    FTFY. Civilization, the series, in fact used to be precisely that... a massive empire builder. Civilization 5 isn't. But I won't have the good names of CivI, II, III (yes, even III), and IV slandered with such a broad brush.

    Why is it boring? Too long between rewards.

    Not really -- Can't speak for OP, but I don't WANT my games to be bite-size, single setting experiences. I prefer games that can take literally weeks to complete... Previous iterations of Civ or other games I enjoy (wide variety of Paradox titles, a few Stardock titles, etc) require...
