    6otM 01 - Opening Actions

    I went and documented everything like a succession game. Here are my notes: Old habits die hard. It took me until turn 31 before I remembered I should really be documenting this game. As of turn 31 I only have one city (founded in place), two slingers, two scouts, a warrior and a builder...

    Niter ...

    While I have not had any problems with nitor, oil has been a massive problem in my games. I have yet to find any source of oil on land (despite owning most of it). I would not hesitate to settle a city there to get the resource. Since there is very little penalty for the number of cities you...

    How can i manage more than 15-20 cities?

    Since the game is turn-based, just take your time. The turns will take longer but it is because you are doing more stuff (generally a good thing). This does not work well in multiplayer though.

    Interesting start. I'm looking forward to playing it when I get home from work. Thanks for setting things up.

    Civ6 GotM1 - Designated Victory Condition?

    I went with domination on this one. My first two games finished in culture and science victories. This may be a fun new way to play (and is probably the best way to deal with the AI).

    How do I find out the relative strength of my civilization’s military?

    That number can be deceiving. I was faced with a French army with a relative strength of 800 while I only had 500. My smaller more advanced units shredded the 30+ warriors that made up the ENTIRE French force. It is a good indicator of a possible attack from your neighbors.

    How many hours of Civ6 did you manage to play in the first week?

    I've played 41 so far. 33 of that was over the opening weekend. I took a break for some Path of Exile before jumping into game number two.

    News: Which Civilization shall be the first for Civ6 GotM?

    I voted for Scythia because that was where my cursor landed. Not too concerned with who we start with, I'm just looking forward to getting back into some GOTM action.

    Mouse binding & edge scrolling

    When you first start the game (initial blue menu screen) you can select Borderless Windowed mode in the options list. You cannot change this once you start/load a game.

    Which Civ Did You Play As First? (Poll)

    I went with Sumeria. Gilgamesh's beard was too good to pass up. Finished a dominant culture victory in the 1960s.

    When Montezuma sends a declaration of friendship...

    That is just Monty. General rule of thumb, if you see Monty prepare for war. It may take thousands of years, but it WILL happen.

    Mouse binding & edge scrolling

    I think you have to hover the mouse near, but not right next to the edge of the map (not the screen). It was driving me nuts so I turned it off. Now I need to find out how to rebind the map scrolling keys on my keyboard.

    Are you pre-ordering?

    This will also be the first time I did not go out to the store to get a boxed copy. While I lament the loss of the box for the shelf, I relish the opportunity to download the game in my pjs while brewing the coffee needed for the first gaming session.

    Avoiding the flood of previews

    I wanted to know if the game was worth my money. Due to all the footage, I was able to see several different playstyles and features and was able to make a more informed decision. I have a few hours to kill at work each night so the lets plays help kill the time.

    Are you pre-ordering?

    I will not preorder a product without seeing it in play. With all the lets-plays on YT lately, I've seen all I need to make an informed decision with my money. Firaxis can have it (preordered yesterday).
