I usually don't hesitate to attack an AI with a tech advantage and I never pay attention to their military size beforehand. It can be a slog taking their first city in such situations, but after that, it's downhill for them from there. Generally they never have a "complete" military and I've...

open borders goes a long way toward friendships though. Diplomacy can be ignored completely if you want, but if you do not like/want everyone hating you, open borders.

Can I win this game? The game is Alexander, continents, Emperor, everything else standard. Current turn is 226. The save file is attached. Read on for more details. I screwed up in the early game thinking I'd get a religion and I invested too much time into in. I didn't go for religion...

This thread is encouraging. Last patch, I couldn't even finish my Australia game out of boredom. Looking forward to trying this patch after I finish my XCOM 2 game.

I've always preferred Domination type victory in Civ games, but unfortunately it isn't too fun in Civ VI. The AI is so easily steamrolled, it becomes boring because the game is basically won very early on. It's funny because CiV had the same issue after artillery and flight, but the early game...

My experience, the AI doesn't even attempt to defend themselves.

It was a cool read, and in all honesty, many of the changes made to the game work really, really well and are quite fun. The game is boring though because the AI is so easily steamrolled. I'm not sure if this is an issue of the AI not getting enough bonuses or if it just needs to play better...

So far I'm liking Australia! My capital started with a pop 10 cap. First 100 turns, never had to even think about building granaries, or farms for that matter. Beyond Australia specific things, I'm not seeing a lot of differences elsewhere. The game started me on a lil peninsula with Jadwiga...

Any word on a Hall of Fame???

I think it makes more sense to have some sort of reduction of city strength per turn (for X turns) opposed to health, basically making the city weaker without actually reducing the population. I don't think fortifying a few units around a city for 10 turns should be enough. It should require...

I assume one factory/power plant can still cover multiple cities? I also assume one zoo/stadium can still provide amenities to multiple cities? So one factory can provide production for 6 cities if they are all in range, so essentially just one IZ per city "cluster"? As for the entertainment...

You get this message when city states are conquered as well. That's most likely what you were seeing there, different city states being captured.

Bugged for certain or the percent chance is so low to be useless; same as bugged pretty much. I've killed dozens of ships with sea dogs and have yet to capture one.

I use to do this then realized it really makes no difference either way so...yolo I guess. =/

Which Nationalism unlocks fleets on top of that, which makes them that much more ridiculous for their era. I just dealt with an AI brazil with these things. He one shot everything, including field cannon corps, sea dog fleets, and ironclad fleets. My Sea Dog fleets were hitting it for 9-13...
