A bit off topic but help! I seem to be the only one that doesn't know how to use that map tacks mod properly. I just don't get it! I click on a hex for map tack - now what? How does the mod help? I know this post makes me look incredibly stupid! :blush::)

And that's why I have Clans and Heroes etc switched off! The AI is crap as it is - the add-ons just make it worse.

Ha! I'm an "old timer" as well as I started playing Civ 1 on the Amiga too! Was it two discs or three? Civ 2 on the PC is when the addiction really started though.

Sorry, I should have mentioned that I only ever play Huge maps so the fact that it isn't so Huge anymore is a bit annoying!

I just hope they make the world BIGGER this time round - like it used to be. Even huge maps are not that big compared to previous games meaning Civ VI was a downgrade on this score. Just more space is needed generally - I think this is another reason why the AI struggles so much.

I'm sick and tired of the AI having Great Generals milling about - with no actual troops around them!

Realism all the way for me. I prefer the Deco look of Civ V by a mile. And I hate the map fog of VI. And slightly OT but can this realism be applied to the game as well?! I really dislike the addons for VI with vampires and the like and always have them switched off. The AI has enough trouble...

Well I know I won't be rushing to buy it on release as with pretty much ever itineration of Civ since III. Civ 6 simply wasn't properly ready for ages after release. They really should have a properly functioning game on release but that won't happen...

Huge / Marathon / Continents (one or the other), maybe Archipelago sometimes / no special modes / disaster level 1. Oh and I reduce the amount of Civ's to give everyone more space - those maps just aren't Huge enough for me. Ill take the City States down a bit too.

Yeah I hate building one (just in case) to find nope...can't use it. Again.

Trajan because of the perfect balance and good early start. I have to force myself not to play as Trajan (yet again!) to be honest.

Couldn't agree more. We don't all worship at the temple of Marvel and I don't want anything to do with any of that rubbish!

I love Civ. And I love Xcom. And I want absolutely nothing to do with bloody Marvel or Midnight Suns! :lol:

King level AI definitely has a problem with barbs. I've seen them devastate whole continents and the AI players just don't recover from it.

Dunno about that. I have come across barbarians destroying A.I. players even into the midgame - so much so in fact, that its ruining the game. If only the AI players could fight like the barbarians and the barbarians weren't so strong sometimes!

I dont play with any of the new modes - I just don't like the sound of them and if they make the A.I. worse there is no point at all.

Oh I'm breaking Hammurabi in my latest Marathon/Huge game. But its not just me. The barbs are crazy in the current game. I can deal with them - the A.I. can't. There are quite a few free cities. Game's already over but its still fun!

And me. I hate Civ any other way. Always played Civ with these settings. Yeah its a long drawn out game but that's fine - in for a penny, in for a pound! :D

All these fantasy ideas just really don't appeal to me at all. Civ games are supposed to be based on history. By all means they can do a DLC Fantasy pack but keep the proper game as its always been.

I have had a bit of crashing lately - usually because of a lot going on late-ish game. A quick reload always solves the problem (thank god for autosave!) so its not a biggie. I would have agreed with you about Civ 5 being better maybe a couple of years back but now - I couldn't go back to...
