Civ VI Pretty Screenshots

Sometimes, you need to forget geographic accuracy to catch a few cultural match-ups where they stand.

In honor of France...

And.. Our harbor Lady also inspired us to seek Freedom in Space!

I've played with and without that mod enabled and it didn't have an effect on the SoL either way. It's a LoadOrder issue. Did you apply the fix I suggested to you here?

Yeah I really tried to, but it didn't really fix it for me. Probably not because of the solution itself, I am just bad at this stuff. I found out the Civ V environment mod didn't affect the SoL itself, but when combined with other mods, it does.

Oh gosh I did it!!! I seriously misunderstood it the first time, now I got it correctly Thank you so so much!

Finally, after all this time, I got to build the Golden Gate in a sensible place. Well, it will be sensible, after I build railroad connections.
Even the shape of the Black sea is not very far off, so my GG might be spanning the Dardanelles
The Ottomans are indeed present in this game, although they are on another landmass over another sea, to the East.
Note that Harald has also gained access to the Black Sea by building one-tile Panama Canal.

It's funny that we are still dealing with load order issues in this day... reminds me of the old DOS days and QEMM, but I digress.

Had always wanted to do this for ages... but resources or hills kept popping up in inconvenient places. Finally, with the right map I've managed to create a perfect circle of lakeside resorts around crater lake (yes, you can build Kilwa next to it too.... it is considered "coastal" though it is freshwater).

Moreover the shape of the resorts is like a musical note...

Looks more like a quarter note to me.

I posted this in the "First Game" thread but thought it could be here too. My very first roll in my very first game. Crappy starting location but very nice looking map.

Point of order - I see a +3 Holy Site, +5 Campus, +4 Harbour, abundant hammers, near total land security, all luxuries attached to a single tech, and a single tile purchase will get an early Turtles tile

No high density early food tile, but after a slow start a lighthouse and some Fisheries will make that a perfectly respectable city. I’d certainly not reroll it

Maybe, but that was from my first roll on my first game after GS release though. By the time I was able to make it past one city i was pretty far behind. The hidden lands behind those mountains were pretty filled up already.

I wanted to post this screenshot to show "City sprawl" mod. Its mod which increase number of "regular" building in districts next to city center. So cities looks more natural in way they sprawl around they surrounding. Really great work by moder, and hope for countinue to support this mod.

Have you ever wanted to share a picture but it isn't funny or strange, just kind of pretty? Here is a safe space to post your aesthetically pleasing pictures without worrying whether it's funny or strange enough.

A few to get started - some of these I posted previously and some are new. My graphics settings are kinda of poor, so I'm sure YOU (yes, you) can do a lot better. Let's see em!



Parks and polders under the watchful gaze of a frigate.

Spoiler :

Clear water and little ships

Spoiler :

I am happiest when there is a natural wonder, world wonder, and unique tile improvement all adjacent to the city center.

Spoiler :

Lovely palm trees in the desert preserve.

Spoiler :

Nazca lines, Nubian pyramids, and delicate arch? Sure those all go together.

Spoiler :

What's Constantinople without the Hagia Sophia?

What's Constantinople without the Hagia Sophia?

And on the coast!

Some of mine. . . .

A peninsula full of national parks

Some great Malian yields

I honest just like the way rivers and damns look after a flood

Some Halicarnassus yields

A well stocked Kongolese capital

The Great Middle Nubian Farmlands

And the industrial hellscape of Solikamsk

 

[Josephias]

Two of mine, I have plenty of screnshoots, so i might lose a lot of time selecting, but these are out of a quite nice game I had and I still remember

Spoiler Snowy St. Petersburg - Project :

Spoiler Snowy St. Petersburg - Final Result :

I finally couldn't get Hermitage and had to replace it with Kremlin , but all In all, I think city ended well as the world's major touristic destination.

[fy00sh]

went back thru my screenshots to find some stuff, might be some stuff i already posted in the funny screenshots thread, i think these all are a better fit for this thread tho

seeing this one i thought of a water dungeon in a zelda game. maybe you have to enter from flying to the top, work your way down, and fight a kraken at the bottom of the stairs?

Spoiler :

love the tacit storytelling in this screenshot. a new settlement is founded on the largest island in an archipelago, but a lucrative mining industry springs up on a smaller island, and so the island with the actual population center gets deprioritized for harbor placement

Spoiler :

not only are the adjacencies nice, but i also love how the corporations are worked into the layout. really makes me wish corporations gave additional adjacencies to commercial hubs and hansas. edit: also, looking back at the other screenshots in my files, these were the only deposits of tobacco, coffee, and wine in that world, since they were all on a weirdly tiny mostly-tundra continent. which i think makes the commercial hubs and hansas surrounding them even prettier in context ^_^

Spoiler :

very satisfying swedish theming bonuses, including corporation products

Spoiler :

canal network crossing three lakes

Spoiler :

and finally, a sequence of screenshots showing the most satisfying meteor site location ive seen followed up immediately by the most satisfying forest burning

After playing some heavily modded Civ 6 games, and some with no mods at all, I've got two pics to share.

Sahara el Beyda with two Preserves on Prince difficulty. Sadly, I couldn't bless all the tiles due to the Ottomans already having built a Holy Site by the time I conquered Halep, but it all worked out.

Spoiler :

Here's a heavily modded Cleopatra Game with Civilizations Expanded and Apocalypse Mode on. Prepare yourselves.

Spoiler :

Strangely beautiful. A city state on a lone island, completely surrounded by ice at the top of the map, with no way of being reached by the outside world.

To clarify on this, I didn't have any mods because I was waiting for the Great Negotiators to drop, and as such, didn't want my modded game to be ruined. So that is me getting more than 1,000 GPT and having more than 14,000 Gold by turn 176 with no cheats whatsoever.

Cyrus is giving Harald a lot of trouble in his home continent, so its time to set sail to new shores. What a peaceful new continent! Looks like the perfect place to settle!

---

What he doesn't know yet is that Julius Caesar is just a handful of tiles distance away, stuck in a hilly, rainforesty area, having as a neighbour, among all possible Leaders, Ba Trieu. Unsurprisingly, he hasn't been able to do much conquering so far. I might post the outcome (if it's worth sharing).

 

[fy00sh]

very satisfyingly built up arabian desert. notice the adjacencies on the campuses surrounding the geothermal fissures, the holy sites flanking the fountain of youth on the side near the rest of the empire and the encampments w/ stables on the side nearer the northwestern border with mongolia. the lower encampment blockading a mountain pass making any potential invasion a chore. the farmland surrounding a volcano and a river with a water park at the river delta (please ignore the oil rig upstream, nothing to note there ). the theater square next to the water park even has an amphitheater with the beach right behind the stage. also, its not in the picture but that one nuclear plant juuuuust barely covers all of the cities on the mainland, not that i needed much more power with all those geothermal plants. will update this post with a shot of the adjacencies later

Spoiler update: yield view :

for those wondering, i actually took the fire goddess pantheon this game. i figured, maybe i could get more value faster out of a different pantheon, but when do i ever get to go fire goddess, yknow?
