Update: Civ VI is up and running but the pointer was misaligned. Sorted it out - the game wasn’t rendering at the same resolution as my telly (yes I know I should probably get something better for this machine). Here we go! Leaving this thread up in case it helps someone else.

Update: approved MacOS’s proposal, then uninstalled in Steam, currently reinstalling (after carefully retaining my HoF file)

So, I replaced my i7 MBP with the new M4P Mac Mini; I understand Civ VI is one of the games that’s been updated to natively support Apple Silicon, so I’ve been excited about that. My intent was to start afresh, bring over my old photo and music libraries and my portfolio, got some bad advice...

They've made it work on Mac, too, but I don't know why they bothered. The first one was 'you are the Vikings, you like in Antarctica, and the sea is made of boiling acid'.

BW, no question, it's all contextual but the only context in which it isn't the most important by far is when you're on barren archipelagos.

I've tried googling this to no avail - is there a benefit to siting on a hilltop? I'm aware it can mean the difference in whether or not a garrisoned unit can shoot over hills and forests but I'm not clear if there's any benefit for the district itself.
