I was thinking about exactly this the other day in relation to the Preserve. When you build a Preserve, you don’t get much benefit from the go (usually, just +2 housing and a culture bomb) — it’s only when you build the Sanctuary / Grove that the yields come online. That’s essentially what...

FFIW, my own completely anecdotal experience says it *can* happen. Hotseat game, one of the AIs (Arabia) killed my city-state (Bologna), so I denounced him as Canada to liberate it. Promptly forgot what I’d done it (because the turns in hotseat games take forever), but Arabia soon repaid me by...

I know the OP’s question asked who was the better tundra civ, but I think it’s worth adding this: Often, I don’t spawn anywhere near tundra as either Russia or Canada (I’m convinced there’s something wrong with my RNG). In these situations, I definitely prefer Russia. While Canada’s immunity...

Well exactly. Min-maxers gonna min-max, but that doesn’t make them right (and, perhaps more importantly, it sucks all fun from the game). My own response to the OP: I’d say it depends on the victory condition. For science victories, you need quite a lot of districts: Campuses, obviously, but...

If you have a problem with the post please report it rather than responding, thanks --NZ

Engaging with the map is definitely the best thing about Civ 6 (which is, of course, a result of the whole district separation mechanic). I recently fired up a game of Civ 5 while I was waiting for the new NFP patch to drop, and it immediately struck me how much I missed engaging with the map...

(copy paste from other thread) Massive changes to Mapuche, Canada and, especially, Khmer, who will now be an absolute faith juggernaut. The ‘major adjacency to holy sites from rivers’ bonus alone has the potential to be amazing, let alone the other buffs alongside it. More dubious about...

Massive changes to Mapuche, Canada and, especially, Khmer, who will now be an absolute faith juggernaut. The ‘major adjacency to holy sites from rivers’ bonus alone has the potential to be amazing, let alone the other buffs alongside it. More dubious about Spain: they’re still very dependent...
