Quick Questions and Answers

Overview Discussion
As I don't find a definitive answer via a quick google search, I thought to reach out to the specialists here:
Are foreign tourists stolen domestic tourists from other civilizations against which I am generating tourism?
I know that every 100 culture there pops up 1 domestic tourist. And I noticed that using rockbands aka 'culture nukes' not only adds tremendous amounts of foreign tourists to my bar, but actually lowers the threshold I have to surpass, since I seem to reduce the domestic tourists of that civilization against which I am deployed the rockbands (if my target is the civilization with the most domestic tourists which defines my threshold to surpass). Is this 'stealing' only an effect specific to rockbands? Or is every foreign tourist a former domestic tourist of other civilitazations?
Thanks in advance!
 
Does Hagia Sophia give an extra charge to Apostles created in ALL cities? Or only the city where the Hagia Sophia was built?

All, if I remember correctly. It should specify in the description if it only effects the city where the wonder is.
 
Hey, folks. I started having what I believe is an issue in Civ 6 about 2 weeks ago. I play on PS5, so maybe that complicates things as I know most here are on PC. I'd say about 3-4 games ago the AI simply stopped trading luxury resources with me. I've always been happy to do a 1 for 1 swap of extra luxuries with other civs that weren't immediate neighbors, and I can't recall ever being told no... not very often anyway. Now it's just a hard no from everyone. Friends. Allies. Neutrals. They just simply won't accept any 1 for 1 swaps, even if they have 4 of something and none of what I have. Only thing I've seen is something absurd like a 1 for 1 plus 70 gold per turn. I've found myself building more entertainment complexes than I'd like because of this. Anyone else come across this? I double checked the advanced settings and I'm not doing anything different that usual, and I didn't see any recent updates to the game.

I wish I could give you a more definitive answer, but beings no one else has replied, I'll at least try. In my experience when something like this happens, it's usually a correlation either between the diplomacy relationship, the value/scarcity of the resource, or the game difficulty setting. I know that doesn't help a whole lot, but I hope it can assist in the process of elimination.

Confirmed. I purchased Apostles in separate Cities just to test it out, and you are right. It is with all cities.

I have another quick question. Does it add any extra protection to send multiple spies in the same city (of your own civilization) to counterspy for protecting your Spaceport?

Depends on the set up of your districts and where you place your spies. Spies guard the district they are assigned to and any district on a tile next to that district. So, putting a spy on your spaceport and a district connected to the spaceport will provide extra defense, if I remember correctly.

Okay, after playing a few more games I've figured it out. It seems if I'm playing Gathering Storm everything is normal. Civs are happy to trade luxury resources 1 for 1, and if I have any leftover I can usually trade them for 10-15 gold per turn. If playing on Rise & Fall, it's as I mentioned above. Absolutely no trading of luxury resources, BUT every Civ seems to be happy to buy my extras for a fortune. I'm talking upwards of 80 gold per turn as early as turn 125 on standard speed. I was testing this out last night and I'm banking over 500 gold per turn by turn 150. Something obviously seems off, and I now find my self building zero commercial hubs and a lot more entertainment complexes. Anyone else come across something like this? The easiest solution is to just play GS, but I'm not a huge fan of the gameplay. Disasters, flood barriers, and death robots just aren't my thing. I only play it so I can utilize some of the other Civs that are locked behind that game mode.
