Not a hard rule, but generally I try to keep my military strength to at least 1/3 or 1/2 of the military strength of any worrisome neighbor. I do think it is important to have at least one up-to-date unit, so your city defense strength is adequate. I got surprise DOWed once in a Deity game by...

Aztecs. Building districts with builder charges means your advanced cities can effectuate and cost share in building out your expands. Aztecs have no need of Moksha or Reyna with a 4th promotion to insta-build districts, which really allows you to experiment with governor titles. Building...

You need 20 niter per musketman. Do you have any melee units already being produced? If so, when the original 20 of niter became available, the production for that melee unit probably automatically changed to a musketman. To produce another one you'll need 20 more niter.

Actually, you shouldn't be afraid of this. What does it matter if some civ 30 tiles away DOWs you? By the time their units reach you the Emergency will be nearly over anyway. And presumably you have the military to handle the civ you were at war with first anyway. Even if another neighbor gets...

Why swordsman rush? You had horses readily available. Horseman rush against unwalled foes is imo vastly quicker and easier to arrange. It has been a fun thread watching you sort things out. You seem to be having fun developing your empire, but an honest question: do you care about achieving a...

Your game seems to have moved really fast! In my game I finished at turn 359 and none of the other civs had even finished Moon Landing, iirc. Bad luck....

Sci Vic, turn 359 (Krampus Challenge) It's always a little intimidating to come to the AAR thread and see Chrumo has the first post. It usually means he was able to figure out something I missed, and therefore got done a lot faster than me! As was the case here. I settled 1W so I could have...

And ... Firaxis and 2K continue to give a giant middle finger to those of us who got the game from Epic or other sources.

@tedhebert- you're right, a better option is to move one of the duplicated units, but the OP specified that he could not do this. Probably the only neighboring water tile is blocked by the enemy ironclad. In such a situation your only option is to delete one of the units.

Dom Vic, turn 94 My first ever sub-100 win of any condition; made possible mostly because of Heroes and Secret Societies, of course. What was your plan for achieving the VC? What are the major steps you planned to take? What events, if any, changed the plan in execution and to what new plan...

I got the game from the Epic store; after I set up the 2K acct, it asked me if I wanted to link it to another acct, and Epic Games was one of the options. I did link it, and did nothing further. After that, I restarted Civ 6 from the desktop and found that the new Julius Caesar DLC had in fact...

Wow. How long does it take you to complete one of these maps? I always enjoy looking at your maps, but always feel leery of playing one, as it kind of feels like I have forbidden knowledge just from the announcement post. Same reason I never play TSL maps....

2 units of the same class can't occupy the same tile/space. you have to delete one of them. the 2nd still won't be able to move (it's still blocked by the ironclad) but it should be able to fire. don't allow any other naval units to complete their build in that city until you can egress the...

Eh. I see I can't download this as I never bothered to dl Julius Caesar, as he seems so boring I doubt I'll ever want to play him. But I guess I'll have to if I want to keep trying GOTM.... How would I do that (download Julius Caesar) at this point? I did make a 2K acct but see no means of...

can you please explain how to do this ? That is, how to search for the file of a specific saved game when choosing from the listed games ? I don't know how to do this but have been wanting to go back and replay some older games and it would help a lot in locating them. Thanks in advance!
