    AI turn processing soft lock in "Settle City"

    Follow-up: - The critical action was doing the gpt for gold trade, or something which that caused (like Monty not liking me for some reason, perhaps fearing my increased gold?) Other action changes did not change the outcome. - If I skipped the gpt for gold trade and proceeded with warring...

    AI turn processing soft lock in "Settle City"

    First off, apologies if I'm not doing this right. I've been reading this forum for years, but have mostly been on r/civ since Civ VI launched. However, I think the question I'm about to pose might be over the head of that audience. My game updated this morning - China Leaders Pack update? -...

    [BNW] Hill of -3 Coal..

    Just saw this too - after over 10,000 hours of play. Seems to be unique to building a citadel over a not-yet-discovered strategic resource? Digging around, I found one reference to this on CivFanatics: https://forums.civfanatics.com/threads/citadel-resources-bug.527105/ And one on reddit...

    Strategy variations for Huge Continents maps at Standard speed

    I'll give these settings a try on Deity to see if I have anything to report. The last two times I tried - months ago - I did it once on Marathon, which isn't fair to the AI, and once got steamrolled by the AI in the Modern/Atomic era, just out of silly under-militarization on my part; I had...

    Strategy variations for Huge Continents maps at Standard speed

    I think that poses an interesting question. Presuppose that we're going for a CV, and have gone CR->Reformation, optionally preceded by opening Tradition. Also suppose that we get Sacred Sites. Are you better off finishing Liberty into an Admiral to meet the other continent ASAP, or...

    Strategy variations for Huge Continents maps at Standard speed

    I'm at the point now where I'm trying to play odd groups of settings to keep things interesting. I chose this combination (Huge/Continents/Standard) as I think . . . - Huge/Standard nerfs DomV - still possible of course, but quite a bit slower to get to everyone - Continents nerfs Sacred...

    Is it better to Raze and re-Settle? Or Puppet/Annex

    There was a bug in Vanilla that caused Courthouses to remove *all* per-city unhappiness, but I believe it was patched long ago so that an annexed city with a courthouse is the same as a self-built city, notwithstanding the maintenance cost of the courthouse and additional social policy impacts...

    Brave New World Patch notes! Version 1.0.3.276

    At least in my experience, Religious Tolerance gets more useful the wider I play, and the higher the difficulty level I'm at. Given you're probably playing wide if you take Piety, this seems reasonable to me. And I'm tending to play wider with the nerf to Tradition. When you're settling up in...
