Not sure I fully agree that Progress is "way OP." I actually think that they are fairly well balanced! Progress is my preferred pick, but I think authority can actually be the most OP if you play it right. Just because by nature an aggressive strategy is usually best.

Strongly support @pineappledan 's proposal here. I've wanted a Rome re-work for quite a while, as I've always felt the current Roman UA is boring and underpowered. It's an ever bigger plus if it helps optimize the code.

Essentially the title. There are some head-scratching balance issues with trading that I'd like to change, if possible.

Is there any mod that changes AI trade logic? Is that even possible or is it locked behind DLL? Asking because when my group plays multiplayer games with AI civs the trade logic gets abused and there is no way to police it. In particular making loans to the AI and using compound interest over...

Is there a way to access a previous version of this modpack? We’re getting CTD around turn 80 that we can’t get past at all.

Thanks for the answers here, very helpful. Is it ever worthwhile to delay settling a city if you are close to unlocking pioneers or colonists? Obviously it is risky but the immediate infrastructure upon settling seems worth it.

Hi all. I’m really struggling with the pace of expansion in VP. Vanilla Civ V I understand (four city tradition), Civ VI I am comfortable (expand as early and often as possible), but for whatever reason the ideal pace of VP eludes me. A few examples: - In my most recent game as Russia I went...

Agreed, it honestly feels as though Authority is better at going peaceful wide than Progress.

This looks great, thanks for the team for putting this together!

Civ VI needs mods more than previous games in the series to make it playable. That said, my buddies and I have sort of settled around a collection of mods that makes multiplayer exciting and balanced. Can’t recommend it too much for single player, but for MP I think modded VI is the best yet.

As a side note, am I the only one who nerds out and fanboys whenever I see posts by @Gedemon, @pokiehl, and @sukritact? It’s like I have so many of your mods installed that you’re my holy trinity of Civ modders. Anyway, carry on...

I hear you on this, but I think most people in this particular thread are critical of the idea of making a tier list based around which civs can exploit a bug best. Doesn’t seem to be the most useful discussion of meta game.

I’d also add that you might be seeing the effect of various AI improvements, including recently a greater focus on science.

It seems like getting a dark age late in the game could be potentially catastrophic (particularly given how many cities you would typically have late game). With a large percentage of cities rebelling, is there any chance that this could prove to be a sort of rubber banding mechanic? My...

Just wanted to see if anyone has been able to dig into dramatic ages yet. What are your thoughts on the new game mode?
