    Game Over, how'd I do?

    You said that you left the game before because you failed to learn it; if you don't enjoy the game then you shouldn't spend your time on it, but I'd hate to hear that you drop it again because you think you're not good enough. Civ6 is not an optimization machine. You do not need to play...

    [NFP] How Are People Liking the New Policy Card and Government Changes?

    I think there's a reasonable game pattern now where you go Autocracy into Monarchy and build early Government Plaza and Diplo Quarter in your capital. Well, it existed before but Monarchy was prohibitively bad. There are several upsides to this line of play. Trade routes to your capital are...

    How to Get Theocratic Legacy? Is This a Glitch in the System?

    You don't need to switch to a government in the next-highest tier to get the legacy bonus. Getting the Oligarchy bonus then switching to Autocracy was a common play of mine before the card changes. Interestingly, if you don't adopt any of the governments in a tier you can get an extra legacy...

    Grievance help

    Are you actually helping France or are you taking the opportunity to loot the unprotected Russian motherland while her army is abroad? :crazyeye: It's not like there aren't game mechanics for you to leverage in that situation. Wars declared against your friends & allies generate grievances for...

    Question re Civ6 YouTubers

    The flipside to this is that favorable maps often provide the best displays of high skill strategies, which in turn make great learning opportunities. The example that I'm thinking of is a video of a Chinese player I watched years ago who used the district discount mechanic by opening with three...

    Agoge (16) Colonization (21) Urban Planning (20) Agoge (15+1): Settler spam can help you win the game. But ensuring your survival is a necessary precondition to winning. Urban Planning (23-3): This feels very overrated considering how early Ilkum was eliminated. At first, we have the choice...

    What are some of your "civ rituals"?

    Gwangju as in the South Korean city? In Hangeul it's spelled 광주, which is much closer to Gwangju. Kiwanguzu would be 기왕우주. Or maybe I'm missing something here.

    why don't the developers give a *******?

    Firaxis gets some leeway for 1) being a mid-size game developer that 2) produces a game across multiple platforms 3) played by tens of thousands of players with different expectations 4) in conjunction with a publisher that they rely on for quality control. Not everything they touch is gold, but...

    [NFP] Community Monthly Challenge

    19 points on Immortal. Stupid game. Received two joint declarations from Rough Rider Teddy and Gitarja, plus I had to compete with Mvemba and Mansa on the other continent. I'm pretty sure I found a bug with Temple of Artemis, too: it didn't update its Amenity count when I placed improvements...
