One survives by only playing 100-150 turns.
I set my games to finish after 220 turns, which seems about right for me. I think with every version of Civ I've disliked the later stages of the game, and now I can cancel them.

It seems strange to me that people who claim to dislike the game and no longer play it still spend so much time on this site.
I haven't quit and I probably won't any time soon. I haven't played nearly as much as I thought I would, and I've loaded up V instead several times, but I won't quit at least until I've played all the civs. By that time hopefully things will have improved.
It's maddening though; I'm learning things much more slowly because you don't have to understand the fine points of the game to win on the highest levels. There isn't much incentive to innovate new ways to use the game mechanics because victory is assured anyway. That takes a lot of the fun out of the game.
Without us, who would even be creating threads? It's not like there's actually any strategy to opine about yet in Trade Routes And Production Zone Manager VIIt seems strange to me that people who claim to dislike the game and no longer play it still spend so much time on this site.
I have stopped playing after about 40 hours and 6 or 7 games. I tried starting new games but it's just so tedious. I'm always so excited for the first 150 turns when I'm settling and discovering the world. I see so much potential. I love the new mechanics like districts and builders, but there is just no challenges whatsoever and the sense of wonder goes away pretty fast. It's like I'm all alone in a vast, barren world.
Back to CiV Brave New World with Acken's Mod. I think after playing that mod prior to Civ 6 that I'm even *more* judgmental of the incompetent AI. Acken should have been hired to program it (although I realize it may not be fixable from other threads).
Immortal is just crazy stupid for me -- I have to focus on surviving in the early stages. And then the AI actually knows how to *win*?! How strange -- can even build a spaceship logically.
So, I'm not advocating Civ 5 per se (4 is better with no modding), but with that Mod you will have lots of enjoyment during the year or three it takes to get Civ 6 up to speed.
