    Why haven't they brought back Vassal states/capitulation yet?

    I have no idea. I've been wondering the same, especially with the loyalty mechanic and governors. I would love a dynamic vassal system, which is really how a number of the empires represented in this game actually functioned. I would love if there were tiers of control Vassal - you...

    Your Favorite Civilizations to Play

    I'm pretty open to playing a variety of civs, in general I like civs with unique tile improvements as that is the most visually obvious differentiation for a civ. Fortunately there are lots of those! I also tend to prefer civs that have unique things to help get that critical classical golden...

    [NFP] Township District Idea

    You know what, that actually makes more sense with where the game is at. If it could be changed from the beginning I'd say forget Neighborhoods but have this 'town' idea. That's not what we have though, and I'm sure they aren't going to just up and replace neighborhoods. So yes, I do like your...

    [NFP] Minor pet peeves and annoyances you wish the developers would fix

    I have one, not sure if it's been mentioned yet. Unit selection bias. When you click on a escort formation it pulls up the weaker unit. Why? you're going to want to control the escort from the stronger unit. Also, when a unit is asleep it will be selected first. Example: When you select...

    [NFP] Township District Idea

    New district idea - Township. This would be a 'glue' type district that is capable of doing lots of things. This will help make far flung cities more viable and help mitigate some of the worst issues in an era. Township District, would be a 'green' district meaning it's not specialty and there...

    [NFP] NFP Game Modes are half-baked

    True. And I do have it enabled for nearly every game. I also mentioned that I like Dramatic Ages. There are some problems with it though - since the Age bonuses are now policy cards you have even more pressure on your wildcard slots. Not to mention, if you haven't gotten to a government by the...

    [NFP] NFP Game Modes are half-baked

    I'll preface this by saying there have been a number of good things to come out of the New Frontier Pass. Notably civs that have a more intriguing approach to the game. And I particularly like the diplomatic quarter (although that might have been a free update, I don't know...) TL:DR - The...

    Great Wonders Elimination Thread

    Both Relgious Mahabodhi Temple 18 = 17+1 Love this wonder. The AI doesn't seem to race for it so I almost always get it. Getting 2 free apostles at that time of the game this comes out is awesome. I often use one of them to add a belief to my religion (depends what promotions ofc) +4 faith is...

    Enhancing Maya's Start position options

    It still wouldn't help that much with costal starts. Even if you scout inland and decide to settle away from the coast you are wasting probably a good 4 turns relocating your settler. What I've suggested is that Maya get a bonus of say 25% yields to all cities and it drops by a small...

    [NFP] Why do you buy rockbands with faith?

    I like the idea of rockbands being unlocked from Broadcast Center, even better if they generated rock band points - it would have to be a lot of points since it comes so late. Naturalists purchased with faith is somehow more acceptable but even then it feels a tad weird.

    Civ5 vs Civ6 - what each of those games did better?

    Oh one thing I remember was that in Civ 5 if you went into a Joint War you could say 'I'll be ready in 5/10 turns". In civ 6 the joint war is declared immediately.
