I gave them a shot this weekend, and I kinda like them actually. The archer rush strat + other later bonuses mean you pretty much have *something* working in your favor during the entire game. Although I agree the siege unit stuff is pretty useless. Janissary are definitely good but yeah, I...

I feel like I am even more confused than the OP. I have some even more basic questions: EDIT: Nevermind. Put the gov dude in a forward settled city with a promotion, got it.

So for optimal play, every single era change should have one tech and civic in this "almost done" state?

Ah okay. That's right around when the Naturalists come in too I think. Do you chop, buy, or hard build your archaeologists? How much faith do you have saved up by then? I always struggle to find the balance between culture/tourism and faith when I do CVs. And that usually means I can only buy...

I've been testing it and I am 99% sure you need to be adjacent to city center AND across the river. Is this what you have found aswell? This usually limits the spots quite a bit.

Civ has better AI then another game? How is that even possible? Game developers really need to start prioritizing a better AI. Without it, the replayability of the game goes way down.

What things have changed from R&F to GS when it comes to SV? What tech tree path is optimal? What civic tree path is optimal? Which districts to focus on? Are there any must have great people or wonders like they've have been previously? (ie. Big Ben)

Okay, I think I understand now. I just realized I've been neglecting governer plaza and Ancestral Hall way to much. Didn't realize how amazing it was. Still, though, I can't see myself needing more than 3 building within the next 50 or so turns. Do you just make a bunch of extra ones and just...

Yeah that's why I am really not sure how to order my progression with Rome. You'd just beeline Craftsmanship -> Stateworkforce then? Do you even try to hit boost (improve 3 tiles) and (make speciality district), or is it not even worth it with Rome since they have so much early culture. And if...

How would that work in the build order though? Isn't Magnus still nec If you had to make a exact build order for Rome, what might that look like? You'd still want to et a 2nd city out ASAP for the 6 pop civic boost, right? Was thinking Settler -> Scout w/ a Builder purchase. Then spam...

For whatever reason, EVERYONE seems to make Feudalism the benchmark and considers it super important. I can't really figure out why though. The builder charges don't seem like that much of a game changer. The boost to Knight tech would make that seem to be the reason, but even in non-domination...

What do you think the best Civs for reaching a high pop are? Skirmishers could be decent with the promotion I think but yeah without it they are totally outclassed by crossbowmen it seems. I guess it's probably not worth the effort.

If you're still looking for some casual Civ 6 multiplayer here is a discord: https://discord.gg/43w3RA7 It is pretty small and chill but should be fun.

Here's a discord link if interested: https://discord.gg/43w3RA7

I want to try Cree in this multiplayer game. Now that population is way more important, they should be good right? IIRC, Cree can get the most food and highest pop city because those trade routes get insane. Mekewap is just good infrastructure, and I imagine I'll build those wherever I can...
