I wouldn't describe myself as loving the civ switching idea, but I think the best way to implement it is to create a list of ancient tribes/cultures and then decide which of the middle cultures could be successors to the ancient cultures, and the do the same for the modern age. I really don't...

I think there will be an option to only allow "Real Life" Transitions, even in random map games. Despite modern politics seeing migrations after about 1600 as "Invasions" or "Colonisations" rather than just natural population movements, there is nothing wrong with migrating American tribes into...

tldr: The AI isn't good, but the simplicity of the game, allowing the player to optimize their play, is a bigger problem. The AI isn't so much a problem as is the simplicity of the game. Civ6 made the path through the game trivial. Keeping above the threshold of a city becoming unproductive...

I think the game systems in CIV have got too abstract and away from reality. It has all been done with the best of intentions, but it makes the game less fun. Combat is one that has just got far too unrealistic. I think they have to strip it back and a lot will depend on how they build a...

I would really like to see combat revamped to be more meta, so that building an army and fighting was more strategic, using fewer counters, and focused on supply lines/army composition/military technology, along the lines of a HOI4, than lots of counters. First of all it takes a lot of...

Well you say it isn't a "War Simulator" but you are going to spend a lot of your time fighting wars. The game pretty much forces you into war at any serious difficulty. If I am going to spend most of the game at war, it needs to be far more interesting.

For me I would like to see a few more general paradigm improvements in the game, rather than just a tweaking of this and that. TLDR; Get rid of the tedious width created by surrounding the core game in mini-games that have a much larger impact on the game than they should. Make the core game...

I would also add that the latest patch here they tuned up the combat for AI CIVs and Barbarians did nothing to improve the game. I had a city 2-shotted by warriors a game or two ago. If the AI can take a city just by getting two warriors in attack range, there really is no point in playing. I...

Civ6 is my least enjoyed Civ ever. They really did builders in with this version and the game at any difficulty over Prince forces you a kind of warfare only track that is really one-dimensional. It is just so easy to end up in a blind alley where everyone hates you and you have to focus all...

If I pick any of the world map types - Continents, Small Continents, Continents and Islands, or Terra; all I ever get, even on the largest map size, are two massive land masses with a varying number of islands in between. It is Ok for a while, but it gets really boring always playing virtually...

Reply - yes it is. I'm not sure if it is part of the original game and YNAEMP gives you the ability to turn it off, or if it is an optional setting totally contained in the mod. Sorry, I have a few mods and it is difficult to know what is part of the game and what isn't. It wouldn't surprise...

It may just be coincidence, but I was struggling to get a desert with Mali, and on a whim changed the bias from 1 to 5 and I have been in a desert on start ever since. I know the info is that 1 is stronger than 5, but... EDIT: OK - I've figured it out - I think. The game calculates start...

In the latest version, the DWcontinents map script seems to have inherited the Pangea grain_dice setting (grain_dice =2), so we are getting a Pangea every time.

The problem with both sides of the argument is that they use very emotive terms to describe their case, and they use statistics very persuasively. Yes, for the 4.5 billion years the Earth has existed it has been very hot, but the reality is, that we are only interested in the time where man has...

Yeah, it is the "permission" part to do certain activities which are useless. A lot of schools don't do them now, but you still see a few about sport, where they tell you football is a contact sport and can cause serious injury, then ask for your permission for the kid to do the sport. All I...
