As posted on the Civ group on Facebook... There is a newly founded Scottish city hidden by the spy menu bottom right. I'm Pachauti. I sent a spy to reduce loyalty in this upstart city, as it was already teetering on flipping. But my spy appears to have been caught in the act just as the city...

What single feature/gameplay element/bug annoys you most about this game? But please make it something specific, not just "the AI" or some such. I'll preface this by saying I love Civ VI. But... I'll tell you what mine is, and it's enough to make me swear when I'm already having a bad game...

In my current game I've inadvertently got quite close to religious victory. All the originators of religion are converted, it only remains to mop up the other nations, but time is short. My question is: what's the quickest way to convert a nation's religion? Are missionaries quicker than...

This may be the dumbest question ever (I'll try to outdo myself next time). I've noticed on some people's screenshots a bit of extra info underneath the leaders' face icons at the top-right of the screen. How do you make this appear, as for the life of me I can't find a way of enabling it...

So, your AT/Modern AT unit consists of a man holding a sod-off great anti-tank weapon, and a man standing next to him holding a machine pistol, OK? So why is it that when something like, oh I don't know, a tank attacks the unit, the man with the machine pistol appears to push the anti-tank...

Late game, I have 21 trader units permitted. All of a sudden (researched nanotechnology - but can't see the connection) my number of permitted traders leaps from 21 to 35. Any idea why? I'm certain I hadn't suddenly built 14 commercial hubs and harbours. Game is unmodified.

So I'm cheerfully playing away in the fairly late game (playing a rather experimental game as I was a bit bored, so running pacifism, ironically as it turns out) when I generate a Great General. In a period of prolonged peace. Why? Checked the probability to see if it indicated that this...

I just finished a game where I had a really great cultural output (see related screenie in the "funny screenshots" thread). One Babylonian city ended up being entirely enveloped by my culture, but it just would not flip. As you can see I've played on beyond victory, and by now cities on my...

1. Your first settler often doesn't start with a recommended site even visible, let alone on a recommended site. 2. When you build a settler, the only recommended sites seem to be overlapping your existing cities. 3. When you arrive at a recommended site, it doesn't always recommend it...

First let me explain that I automate my workers after they've lumbermilled all my forsets, but before Railroad, ticking the options boxes to (a) prevent them cutting down forests and (b) building over old improvements. Founded a city really late to take advantage of some offshore oil. It's...

Q1. Why does my trading screen seem to display every single resource I have, rather than only those which my opponent does not have? How is this helpful? Is it something to do with obtaining multiples of each for corporations? Q2. Is it my imagination or are AI players far less happy to trade...

So I'm doing really well, but I've got no aluminium, and coming up to space race. Mansa Musa, who is 'pleased' with me wouldn't trade it with me for anything I could offer (though when I turned my research down he offered it in return for hit singles, horses and 161 gold per turn....). So I...

Given that Civ 4 appears to be a blatant time-swallower, I thought I'd ask the question: "How long have you played one game without interruptions and what was the game?" Mine was 16:00-08:00 playing Settlers 2 a few years back. A stunning 16 hours without even getting up.

Kind of an offshoot of the "Founding religion a hassle" thread, but I didn't want to veer off topic. I'm a big fan of spreading my religion to others as I like the income it gets me. However, in my current game I have founded Judaism, Hinduism and Islam. Judaism is the dominant world faith...

I'm certain this has been done before, but I wanted to see what others did. Do you generally automate your workers, or specifically choose their tasks?

Apologies if this has been covered elsewhere. Obviously I could look, but.... In Soren Johnson's little essay in the back of the manual, he talks about how the developers wanted to discourage "Infinite City Sprawl" in Civ 4, and how they had wanted to do this in Civ3. By which he meant...
