Thanks, Firaxis Team! Appreciate all your hard work & I am looking forward to what comes next! In the meantime, I'll be taking One More Turn... :)

My sense was that the NFP was the end of the road; the "thank-you" posts here and on Reddit confirm it for me. I was hoping I was wrong, but it's no surprise that Firaxis is ready to move on to "The Next Thing." I do agree that a bugfix patch or two would be nice (that one bug where cities start...

Playing a game as Khmer right now, with another (human) player as Russia. There was no chance in hell I would beat him to the first Pantheon or Prophet, even if I were to beeline Astrology and immediately, build a holy site and run projects. After all, Russia can just do that too (and do it...

Quick (positive) update: we opened a ticket with Aspyr over the weekend and sent them our save game. They responded Monday (after my first post in this thread) stating that they had released a patch to resolve the desync issues. Neither of my Mac users noticed Steam patching, but the game worked...

I'm not getting crashes in single-player. However, cross-platform mutli-player is a dumpster fire for me right now. If I host (PC) my two teammates (Mac) desync every turn. If they host I crash to desktop after every turn. I've tried bypassing the launcher, Direct X 11 and 12, etc. I've now...

Interesting that we're all looking at the same statements, social media posts, etc. but drawing very different conclusions from what we see. Hats off to the marketing & dev teams for maintaining an impressive level of ambiguity around this. My read is that Civ VI is done (outside of potential...

I had to use the launcher bypass, I couldn't even get the game to start yesterday. Without the launcher it runs fine. I thought about bypassing the launcher when they first... launched... it a few years back, but since it didn't cause issues I didn't bother at the time. It's annoying how it's...

I hope they don't change Mali, they have a very unique play style & I would hate to see that changed. I'm not sure how you would change things without making them more "generic." Indonesia probably doesn't need any changes. I consider them an ideal of balance in Civ VI: fun, with some useful...

I usually pass on HSD as my city core is set & I'm usually worrying about other things at that point in the game, but you laid out a very nice argument / approach. I'll have to stop sleeping on HSD and give it a shot the next time the game gives me a suitable continent to target.

I revised my vote from "good" to "may use." I really liked it at first, and the idea is really solid. But I agree that it's too expensive to leverage most of the time, and the plethora of polar City States is just dumb. I hope they at least address the polar CS issue in the April patch.

11-15, since that seems to be what it takes to win (at least through immortal). As noted multiple times in this thread, victory type and map size will influence this greatly (e.g. religion on a small map vs. domination on a huge map). 11-15 hits the sweet spot for me in terms of micromanagement...

Philosophically, I agree with you 100%. The game should be complete at launch and only get better from there. But practically, no game ever is nowadays, and with very few exceptions (most of them in the indie space) games stop getting bug fixes and balance improvements when they stop earning...

It's funny that we now have a couple of official statements from the dev team, but still no concrete indication of which way things will go. I guess we'll know when we know... I hope they commit soon either way so I can stop thinking about it. :) I'd gladly pay for another year of patches /...

Thanks for clarifying. Also, interesting edge case re: GE force building a wall.

Related question: if a city's walls are damaged but the Civ who owns it completes the Steel research and gains Urban Defenses, are the city's defenses fully repaired? Had a situation in a recent game where a city under active attack had its defenses fully repaired in one turn. I assumed that was...
