They weren't razed, but in my first dramatic ages game, multiple enemy capitals rebelled, two whole empires completely went free city. I didn't even try to take that many cities, I just stayed small and loyal and won diplomatically, but dramatic ages has a big effect on religious victory too...

Aren't Byzantiums free heavy cavalry maintenance free? Heavy Cav isn't the best for taking cities I like the Manpuche suggestion above too. I am trying all four modes on at once and it is hard. Apocolypse is my least favourite mode, why would you choose more disasters and global warming? It is a...

I'm no expert, but some of the bonuses you choose can help increase your score. +1 for Eureaka or Inspiration but the one I've had great luck (err skill) with is +1 for trade route completion. You have to give up on trading with cities far away so basically your own cities and nearby city...

This still happens. I can't decide if the 100 diplomatic bonus is worth it, because the city state flips right back on culture after I liberate it. When I take it, it flips too, eventually I think if I take it enough it will have so few people left alive it will stay loyal. I also converted it...

I have a long history of not being the most warmongering of Civ players, going back to Civ one. I also haven't played the latest release, my leisure time is limited but I did stay up late last night finishing my latest game and I probably should be posting in the Diplomacy is broken thread as I...

Last night I was playing as Gilgamesh and Alexander the Great attacked me. Of course I was disappointed because I try to avoid early unnecessary wars. So I defend and even take Mexico City which Alexander had conquered. I chose to Liberate it, I got 100 Diplomacy influence but I no longer could...

Bug showing I've met Mexico city, earned envoys and can't assign them.

How do you get the list of faith etc. below everyone's face in the top right. I've only played three games and it seems I have a lot to learn, but I think that would be useful, you must have to have diplomatic relations to get that right?

Gandhi but I'm not sure he is as good in six as he was in previous versions. The elephants upgrade to tanks which is interesting.

I played my very first game of Civ 6 as Canada and I won a religious victory. I never really focused on it, so my next game I played as Gandhi and ran into several other civs spreading religions. I've played pretty much every version of Civ and I think founding a religion is good as you get some...

So I won, but not in a timely manner. This was my first victory ever as England though I think it is a solid Civ. I also earned the special Pope badge because I went with my usual strategy for the most part. - Describe any spying results: stolen techs, coups, or diplomacy. I avoided war the...

I'll try. I still prefer smaller maps on my laptop.

- Did your preconceived strategy go as planned? If not, what adjustments did you make? Yes I went with my usual peaceful builder strategy which is Tradition, Patronage, Rationalism, Freedom. I usually open Tradition, finish it, start Patronage, switch to Rationalism and then usually Freedom but...

I never play as the Zulus. I do not plan to use my Impis much except defensively. I avoid war. I went with my usual sub-optimal strategy to see if it would work. I usually win diplomatically, but this is a bigger map than I'm used to. Best not say more, I'm no threat of winning quickly. I just...

I always play the map I get and don't tweak things to get the map I need. I also try different strategies but my main victory fallback seems to be diplomacy. Science is easier than cultural. Cultural is probably the most difficult especially if there are lots of enemy civilizations who work on...

Spain can be the ultimate tease, you spend so much effort ti settle the City of Gold and you still end up losing... Spain is also very cyclical, sometimes you get a great start other times you do not.

I like the holy mountains, even Mt. Fuji can work. Take the benefit with mountains and just crank out faith early. Of course faith peters out. I really think opening Piety is not optimal and then the other social policies from city state diplomacy to exploration to rationalism it is hard to put...

I agree, tall with 4 or 5 cities is best. My last game and first in a long while was with Theodora and I went Piety and used my religion to make money and eventually buy lots of City State friends. Eventually war came after ideologies were adopted and I gained a lot of Chinese cities, but...

I was a long time big advocate of Patronage but I too like Commerce, buying the pikeman is fun. I still open patronage as now I think it is possible to build forbidden city, before the AI used to always build that now that I am probably playing a difficulty level down I can build it. Those extra...
