Climax: India had ~4 archers and a varu outside the CS so I was sure they would take it. But somehow there was some kind of barb uprising over in the shared Germany/India territory, and both nations had to pull units back to handle it. I ended up knocking down the city defenses pretty quick with...

The inane particularity governing which things can be placed where is one of the worst, most frustrating things about this game. I just don't understand. Like, why does Oxford University have to be built on flat ground? Can good universities not be built in hilly country? Does this not...

Yeah, the real problem is that I don’t have an avenue to actually liberate it. OTOH I just offered the emergency at the first WC meeting. I didn’t quite understand how these things work; it didn’t get many votes, only me and Chandragupta voted in favor. It looked like the proposal failed; but...

My situation: it’s the late classical period. India is my close neighbor (grumble), and Germany is on the other side of them. There is a one-hex mountain pass that leads to the other side of their territory, closer to Germany’s capital; that one hax is he city-state of Antananarivo. I suzerain’d...

Useful links, thanks!

Bump? EDIT - I keep finding answers to things after I post! So sorry!! :shifty:

Sorry, I know that sounds ridiculous.... The thing is, a lot of mods I've seen link to a Steam page, where I have to "subscribe to download the file." But when I subscribe, it says "some games require you to relaunch the program before files will be downloaded." Problem is, I don't have Civ6...

I'm into the digital era in my first game, playing Greeks on Prince difficulty... closed out both the tech and civic trees at around turn 400 out of 750 (playing on epic speed)... so the equivalent of turn ~225 out of 400 on normal speed? This seems crazy. Oh and I wasn't the tech leader - the...

Yeah Steam has sales all the time, and there are other stores that sell the game on Mac/Win. But on iOS the only way is through the single monolithic App Store, and content always seems to be max price there. It's almost like, if there is only one way to get a product, the price for that product...

Should also say: now that I am in the modern era and have explored most of the map... this Continents map script is absolute trash. Two perfect 'V'-shaped continents separated by a huge, featureless perfectly 'A'-shaped ocean. No interesting islands, nowhere to expand in the medieval-industrial...

I just started playing Civ6 in my iPad, after however many years playing Civ5 on the PC. It's been a bit bewildering - right from the start, can I tell what is a good place to found a city? How many rings does a city get over time? 2 like Civ4, 3 like Civ5? How immediately do I need to be able...

...Aaand, after re-playing 125 turns from 4000BC, I randomly tried loading my prior save again, and wonder of wonders, now it loads. What is up with this game???

I don't know how they all could have gotten corrupted, though. I was bouncing around among them, loading various saves with no problems, over several days. Now all of them, the ones I had loaded before and the ones where I hit 'save' and never went back to it, crash to desktop. Are the save...

This game can be incredibly frustrating. I just played about 250 turns of a game on epic speed, I'm currently near the Renaissance. Played over multiple sessions, saving the game and coming back to it later. Suddenly I try to load my game and the game crashes. I start it up again, and all mods...

My situation: I enabled a bunch of mods, then started a game. Didn't like that start, so pressed "restart game" so that I wouldn't have to go through the whole annoying advanced setup again. (I increase the number of civs by 50% every time to add challenge and variety and geographical...
