Can I disable districts?

[nyyfootball]

Is it possible to actually put things in my city instead of miles away in the countryside somewhere? Are rural people the only people allowed to enjoy the benefits of human civilization?

You can surround your city center with districts. They will all get adjacency bonuses, and will make protecting them with spies very secure.

The extra adjacency from other things (like mines for industry or river for commerce) are completely ignorable. They are insanely OP in early game, but later on it really makes no difference once you get some buildings in there. Also, you snowball way too much if you have each district as optimal as they get. It makes the game no fun.

Slightly related, I recently accidently started building a entertainment district instead of a commercial one, did anyone figure out a way yet to remove a district? D:

 

[nyyfootball]

My question is whether or not I can remove districts from the game completely? Is anyone at least working on a mod to rid the game of districts? Because I would greatly enjoy such a thing.

I don't even understand why you would want to play the game after neutering it like that. You may as well load up civ 5.

So much of the game is built around districts....the short answer is, no.

But, you could go back to playing C5.

No, you can't.

Or rather, yes... you can go back to playing Civ V.

Districts are kinda the primary new function, yea.

I hated Civ V too though. Why has Civilization taken such a horrible path since Civ IV? It seems that they are more concerned with selling games then making good games.

Districts make no sense. Why is everything in the countryside outside of my city? Why can't I put things in my cities to that people living there can actually use them?

Maybe this franchise isn't for you anymore, or maybe it never was. Don't live life as a troll though, go find something you enjoy playing and play that.

 

[Atwork]

And if C4 is still your ideal -- well, keep playing it.

 

[nyyfootball]

I love Civ IV and before, back when Civilization fully embraced emergent gameplay and stopped trying to pander to CoD demographic. I am not trying to be a troll. I am simply expressing my displeasure as customer of commercial video games.

Welcome back nyyfootball!

Still worried about the lack of real world logic behind districts I see, and still uninterested in the strategy or gameplay changes they bring to the table too.

Oh yeaaaah, I'm all about Cash on Delivery.

Why are you asking if a core gameplay mechanic can be disabled? If it were disabled this wouldn't be Civ 6. There are 5 other main iterations of civ for you to play if you don't like the essential features of this one.

 

[Matte979]

As an old timer, I think civ6 is a step in the right direction. So I guess we agree to disagree. And definitely not for the COD as it actually requires more thinking and decision making than civ5 or 4 ever did. We just need some balance and a better AI and UI fixes to make it the best civ in my humble opinion and the civ with the most options on how to play.

I decided to wait until release. My premonitions came true. The early descriptions of the "districts system" were unfortunately accurate in their nature.

I liked the emergent gameplay of the old games, I don't like the "actiony" and "dumbed-down" aspects of the new games. Civ VI is proletarian through and through.

The district system is way more complex than city building in past games.

Then go back and play that bourgeois Civ IV if it's more your speed.

It is complicated, not complex. Complexity would imply sequitur thinking which is grounded in actuality. It literally makes no sense to have all your amenities so far away from where everyone lives. Unless you have a huge rural population, districts make no sense.

I just want to know why everything is so far away?
