I think either your scaling is bugged, or mine is bugged in the opposite direction. This is what it looks like for me with both sliders on the lowest setting: And on the highest:

I feel like if you're on deity and you spawn near Harald, you need to start slinger, slinger, warrior to have a chance. Aside from Harald, at least one slinger in your first couple of builds seems pretty important. In Civ V I typically start scout, scout or scout, monument, but I feel like VI...

Sure, but even with the AI's tactical weaknesses, 5 against 1 isn't going to go your way. Scout followed by builder just doesn't seem viable - next try I think my first two builds will be slingers, or slinger/warrior.

i5 6600K Can definitely recommend the 850 Pro anyway. It's great in general and it will probably speed things up for you here if you're using an HDD.

I have an 850 pro and it gets like 1% utilisation while loading - I guess if you have a slow HDD it may well be the bottleneck, but it's entirely cpu-bound for me. I even checked my cooling in case I was getting thermal throttling, but no. It seems like my CPU just can't load the game any...

Well, I tried this out, but adding the exclusions made no difference - even turning Windows defender off entirely made no difference. Ah well, worth a try anyway.

I feel like campuses are useless except maybe (maybe) in the late game, because all they do is push your tech far beyond the point where you can actually build those things you've researched, which is pointless.

It does seem broken. I built campuses in two of my cities but I don't think I got past libraries in either of them and I had flight by 1000AD. I didn't build any more science buildings for another 700 years or so because my tech had far outstripped my ability to build the things in reasonable...

You guys are all so lucky. I have the game on a good SSD, with a 6600k, and no joke this game has the longest load times I've ever experienced. After Sean's finished talking, I can go off and go to the loo or something. 8 seconds? It takes minutes for me.

What even determines this? Is it still culture? It seems to be very slow, and I couldn't find anything in-game that describes what the rules are. Yeah, it's like it shows the previous thing, except sometimes it's even more random than that.

Well that's interesting. Do you mean Documents\My Games\Sid Meier's Civilization VI, or the installation folder? (Both? Something else?)

[TL;DR: It might help slightly in some circumstances, but CiV is not a good contender for benefitting from a RAM drive] There's a word for that, but I think it's against this forum's T&Cs :p. So, there are some very specific circumstances in which a RAM drive is useful; this is a general...

Per title, BE is currently on sale for the next 48 hours - apparently it's less than 55% in some regions though(?)

Silly question: is there a way to change my vote? I voted after 3 or 4 games, and now that I've played another couple I just can't stand to play any more.

Hmm, I guess I must have had them pillaged by AIs and not read the notification properly :(.
