Surprised to not see Total War: Warhammer mentioned. I've played 1 & 2 about a total of 3200 hours in the past 3 years. Previous time-sinks have been HoMM and Ao* among other things.

1230 on Civ6. Mainly due to having 2733 on TWWH2.

I think I had 1-2 theater squares and wonders. I wasn't going for any victory condition, just playing around. That one single band got me to over 550 tourism and a CV. I wasn't paying attention, just doing gigs where I could, then noticed I was leading in culture, dominant over 3/5 nations. I...

The promotions I had were 1) +1 level and +1000 tourism on national parks (useless) 2) +2 levels on wonders (very nice, lots of wonders to play at) 3) +2 levels on entertainment complexes (nice). Upgrades 2 and 3 made a world of difference. After the 3rd promotion I was rocking the wonders...

No, that was my initial expectation (or something along the line of gaining maybe 5-10 tourism in a few gigs) and that's precisely why I posted about it. I went from 10ish tourism to 550+, so that that one band single handedly won the game. Was this a crazy fluke or does that happen all the...

Tried my first GS game as Phoenicia, just fooling around and trying out things. Around turn 250 (on standard) I was last in culture, and purchased a couple rock bands. The first one quit after the 2nd gig, but I managed to level up the other one to 3 and started playing out wonders and...

Australia is so OP here it's not even funny. The whole secluded continent filled with pastures that you can surround with outback stations?

Lack of focus seems to be the key here. Forget wonders, forget religion and aim to have 10 cities up by turn 100, by grabbing a few cities from nearby neighbors and settling the rest. After that choose which victory you want to go for and concentrate on that. Follow this and you should be able...

Í'd have to agree that limiting the number of religions/prophets should go. Investing in a religion is already a massive ordeal, and if you end up not getting a prophet it's game over. Restricting the number of religions doesn't really make sense, neither wrt realism nor game balance. Then again...

...which matters very little, since you're bulldozing over everyone anyway, or at the very least can effortlessly kick off any invaders at pretty much any point, except the first 50 turns on deity. So yeah, they provide very little benefit and I usually don't bother with them at all.

I've seen one religion win and 2 culture wins by the AI, both on deity. I've also had a few close calls, with both cases. AI domination victory, at least in my experience, is not gonna happen, I've yet to see the AI grab a single capital in any of my games, which is frankly pathetic. The same...

Personally I think the logic is pretty straight-forward. For cities without any water access it's mandatory, for coastal water it depends and for fresh water cities there's generally no point.

Try a cavalry unit with the Escort Mobility promotion for siege engines. I usually level one up just for that purpose.
