This thread is pretty much the capstone for any future discussion about civ6 difficulty. Impressive work getting your time to sub-100 though.

I did a 267 rome science from a meh start and without any real strategy other than picking whatever looked good at the time. To get any good metrics out of this though you'd need a civ4 style challenge thread with a standardised starting position, game speed, map size, etc., and an agreement on...

Continents may as well be called "double pangea" First your dominate the mini pangea you're located on, then you auto victory against the civs sharing the other pangea because you've got 3x-6x their land mass and no need to maintain a military. Functionally there's no difference in...

Diety AI starts with 3 settlers and a bunch of scouts and warriors. It doesn't make any difference, they get an initial boost but they aren't able to convert that into momentum.

I can't tell if Civ6 or BE was more ridiculously easy. The weird part was when Civ5 came out there was a contingent that believed it was unplayably easy but then BE and Civ6 came around and just blew that right out of the water. The last Civ game to actually be challenging was 4.

Unfortunate, but not surprising after Civ5

Name a single one.

Seconded. I'm 100% behind escalating AI bonuses to ridiculous, near (or actually) unbeatable levels. Gives me something to push up against when tweaking out every last abuse of the rules.

By rolling your face up and down the keyboard until the victory screen popped up? It's BE - a screenshot of the AI winning would be more impressive.

I don't understand what the challenge is meant to be? Win a game of BE using any victory condition from a decent starting position?

You should post this discovery in the strategy section. "Good starting positions make it easier to win"

Why is anybody humoring this with a response?
