Although I agree that there are samey mechanics which at times can get boring, most of my games are rather different from one another. I always play Deity / Huge maps but I play a different leader in each of my games and I turn on or off some of the NFP modes differently in each , so none of...

Never got any reply to this link although it's the third time I mention it in three different posts over the last months! Ok, let me reply myself with a question. Is this too disturbing, or underwhelming, or off-topic, or hard evidence that yes, machine-learning is possible and affordable for...

I've posted this link in another thread but never got any comments on it... I'd love to hear some! https://techcrunch.com/2016/12/06/aragos-ai-can-now-beat-some-human-players-at-complex-civ-strategy-games/ That was Freeciv, probably less complex than Civ6, but it was in 2016, a massive six...

Agreed, except that this mode is so broken on the AI side that turning it on is by itself an exploit: AI does not improve luxuries anymore, with all the consequences suffered (lack of amenities for the AI, etc.), not speaking about the tourism multipliers (which is also an issue).

Mmmm... indirectly I might say, as neglecting your culture means you don't get access to the stronger governments and the better policy cards... However, you would not get science from Theater Squares alone (which by the way may not be the most effective way to boost your culture if you're...

I believe you should persevere. Being 10 techs behind the AI in Medieval is no big deal in higher levels, if you do it right you will catch up and overtake later.

I've always heard it said that Roland Rat, Coronation Street were set "up North", so there you go! Just the same in France: Parisians need constant reminding that not everyone outside the Périphérique lives in the sticks.

Well, compared to London which is the center of England, just as Paris is the center of France...

Sometimes I wish that were true with some of my Canadian colleagues... but that's only because they speak a better French than I do :lol:

O well, I've seen some interviews on TV in UK where they would subtitle Scottish folks speaking so-called English with a very thick accent (something like Robert the Bruce?). Granted we do have some very different accents in France, but I've never seen an interview of a person from the East or...

Or a super-insanely-crazy AI-mad-about-science patch ? <Row ListType="ClassicalYields" Item="YIELD_SCIENCE" Value="1500"/>

Since I have family both in England and France, I've heard it quite a lot :lol:

It's always a love-hate relationship between both countries, what I like most is the expression "to take a French leave" translates as "filer à l'anglaise", that says it all!

I always play on Marathon but everytime I turned Apocalypse mode on, I never could reach the last stage, won before (I played normally though, I suppose I could have been going crazy on coal plants and Soothsayers just to see what it looks like...)

Agree to that, but lack of support is mostly demonstrated by ignoring the blatant game-breaking bugs that hinder the game since last NFP "patches". Those brought much more issues than actually meaningful content.
