Ah, I guess its easier then. I tried saving and even getting a fast campus for research grants after securing work ethic, and usually not even that is enough unless im extremely lucky in the order of when the GS appear, and how hard the AI prioritizes them until I have enough banked. Fantastic...

Yeah I always pair up with crusade as well, having the production backbone to pump out units while effectively being a tech level higher is damn strong for early rush purposes. Just curious, do you play on deity? If so, how on earth do you secure Hildegard outside of sheer luck?

It really does, especially early on. The only bad thing about it is that it's so easy to set up (minus the pantheon) that it can get quite stale after a while.

Personally I can't really subscribe to the notion that civ 5 was better than 6. I liked civ 5, and some features were better (World Congress, ideology, ai aggressiveness, art style), but civ 6 is just superior and has much higher replay value imo. Played some civ 5 some months ago and tried...

Your question is very general and really hard to answer, so I'll ask you a few questions instead before I give a more detailed answer: 1. What do you need this production for? 2. How much production do you need on a per city basis? And why? Remember that production is only a means to an end...

This just teaches some very bad habits as it's essentially cheating through an unintended exploit. It's also on a game mode that many people don't play with, so I generally wouldn't recommend this to someone who explicitly wants to improve his play.

No they did not.

There is a difference to me between "great city state" and "fun city state". There are many great city states - Bologna and Kumasi for instance, among the two best city states but hardly my idea of "fun" (it's a passive bonus that you rake in, and you dont really change your playstyle with...

Happy to hear it worked out for you! 😄 Those tight games really are the best ones, make you feel like you really earned it. Nice score by the way, think the most I ever got was somewhere south of 3000.

Not sure whether or not multiple defensive spies help for the same city, but there are certain promotions (and even a policy card) that you can pick to decrease the likelihood that enemy spies are successful. As running Democracy, you should switch over to Synthetic Technocracy immediately if...

I dont know what speed you're playing on, whether there are special rules in your mod or when you can expect to finish your own exoplanet expedition in relation to when he launched his, but the answer is lasers (ground or lagrange, doesnt matter). If you play on standard speed, and Turkey has...

So we're randomizing maps now, but adding higher difficulties is still too difficult to implement?

I was wondering since you specified restricting win conditions, and I was wondering if that was affecting the difficulty as I usually never restrict the win conditions. That being said, it's by no means impossible to beat the AI on deity without GDRs. I honestly can't even remember the last...

How so?

I vastly prefer the forum to discord, as that place is just a mess for finding information, and is a real echo chamber when it comes to dissenting opinions. Never have I seen a place that is so Orthodox on what they accept as official doctrine, and how quick they are at crucifying dissenters...
