To me it seems to vary widely. In my current game the top four civs, including me, have been friendly for a long time and I've been allied with the other three for some time now. One other civ keeps trying to friend me but I keep turning her down because she's unfriendly with a couple of my best...

Don't think we didn't see what you did there. :lol:

I played around with graphic settings. First I changed from windowed to full screen. No significant impact. Then I changed from 4k to 1920x1080. To my great surprise this had no significant effect, and was actually slower than the result I got yesterday in 4k windowed after turning off vertical...

A separate box isn't the issue. I have an unused Raspberry Pi 3B loaded with Raspbian sitting two feet away. I don't want to run Windows. If I have to live with inferior performance in Civ 6 as a result of that, I'll do it. But I want to make it as least inferior as I reasonably can.

After a bit of online searching I found somebody complaining about performance under Linux who said turning off vertical sync fixed his issues. I know I had turned it on not long after getting Civ 6 on Linux because I had some screen tearing issues. That was a while ago so I tried turning it...

That's very depressing. It would seem the primary culprit here is whatever Steam is doing to allow Civ 6 to run on Linux. I found one post from someone with hardware slightly better than mine but that should have been roughly comparable. My times are about 20 times worse. The graphics frame...

I'm considering building a new computer. Civ is the only game I play with any regularity. I'm unlikely to ever get into first person shooter games. Aside from Civ, I mostly do web stuff, rarely some video things and graphic editing. Without going utterly crazy on the budget, what would I need...

This thread reminds me of a restaurant I used to frequent. I would always order a "small" soda and the guy at the counter would say, "We only have medium and large." He was unaffected by my argument that with only two sizes a "medium" wasn't really possible. So what kind of hardware are you...

I've had one game where I was clearly going to get a religious victory but it got too boring and I abandoned it. I've done science more than any other. Domination can get tedious but I find it generally more fun. I've been doing culture recently, mostly trying to hone my approach. I've never...

I've never had much luck with mods. Part of it, I'm sure, is because I'm running Linux, but every time I've tried a mod or even an add-on map something has gone seriously wrong. Just yesterday I tried to install the YnAMP maps and it hung trying to put up the main menu. I had to kill the process...

Thanks, I never noticed that option. Found a few others I'd overlooked too.

Seems like this must have been asked before but my searches came up empty. I've got a lot of cities with a lot of cultural buildings, way more than will fit on one screen of the "Organize Great Works" dialog. How do I move a work from one page of the display to another? If I grab the work and...

I finally got them back. I've been semi-turtling and haven't met all that many city-states. I was already suzerain of all but two so when I got a big envoy award I dropped them all on that city-state and became their suzerain. Immediately moved my units off, which turned out to be smart because...

I thought of the suzerain route but my partner in the liberation ended up with 9 envoys and it's going to be a while before I can compete with that. Where I really messed up was when I made peace with the civ that took the city-state in the first place. He was willing to give me just about...

I helped liberate a city-state that had been captured. Unfortunately, I came up just slightly short of what was needed to take the city so my partner in the liberation got it. (We were down to the wire on time.) Now I have four units apparently stuck in the city-state territory that I can't move...
