I'm trying Jadwiga. Her and Pericles get the early wildcard slot for great prophet points, and she has better religion bonuses.

Yeah, I think you have to be aggressive to protect your religion. In a recent game (Immortal difficulty), I got a religion as Gorgo fairly quickly but couldn't expand because I was swamped with barbarians. America sent Protestant missionaries to convert Sparta and got Sparta down to no religious...

Similar thing in my game--America must have been stuck on 3 cities (It goes Washington, New York, Philadelphia, Boston, right?) I'm playing as Montezuma on Emperor, and Teddy is being ultra-aggressive. The map is set up so that there's a mountain range blocking most everything to my north...

Agreed, or at least they could be limited to fighting for the same city-states, wonders, or great people. It makes sense for Barbarossa to get mad at you for taking over his suzerain status, or for Qin to be mad if you finish a wonder he already started, but agendas that require you to ignore an...

Aside from the game design problem, it's just bizarre that uranium would be the necessary resource for Modern Armor. Nuclear powered tanks are futuristic, not modern.

Minimal warmonger penalties for capturing cities in defensive wars, possibly increasing with amount of conquest (if I use Brazil's DOW as an excuse to wipe them out, the penalty is reasonable; if I just capture a few cities on my border they were using to attack, the penalty should be fairly...

Speculation--I can't imagine this was turned off by default, or most people wouldn't even have known it was an option. But the first thing I did after downloading was run the benchmarking tool--maybe that turns off leader animations and doesn't turn them back on?

Are you getting animations or just static diplomacy screens? If the latter, check that your leader animations are on--it's one of the advanced options under the Graphics tab. Mine was turned off by default for some reason, and that solved the problem.

It's in the advanced options under Graphics--there's a leader animations option at the bottom.

Solved it--leader animations were turned off by default for some reason. For anyone else with the same problem, it's an advanced option under the Graphics tab.

When the leader diplomacy screens come up, the foreign leaders aren't saying anything on the audio; it's just a silent diplomacy screen. I thought this was just a missing feature from Civ 6, but then I saw other threads listing the phrases and translations. Anyone else seeing this?

The two obvious choices for a new VC are religious and economic, and the current VC most in need of an overhaul is diplomatic, which in Civ V functions a lot like an economic victory. I'd expect diplomatic victory gets reworked in a way that uses the new leader personalities--say, if you get...

Especially with the new leader AI, it would be cool if they took a page from Civ4 Colonization and had multiple leaders per Civ. It would be fun and add replayability to have to deal differently with, for example, George Washington (military focused, not inclined towards alliances, agriculture...

I'd suggest 3 planes per city for each 10 population in a city, and make an airfield improvement available that workers can build anywhere that can hold 3 planes (all of which die if the airfield is captured by an enemy). Capitals should have swarms of planes defending them; minor outposts...

Morocco is my first thought, except it's going to have to spend a lot of resources defending against the Zulu and Songhai invasions. Other than that, though, with so many European capitals on nearby water (especially Portugal and Venice), Morocco's going to be swimming in gold on a continent...
