Civ VI Funny/Strange Screenshots

[Aurelesk]

Spoiler What need do you have for wonder when you can look upon the works of the Middle Kingdom? :

It is like having many jointed Natural Parks, but better!

That Tundra/Snow city was my most powerful city in Growth, Production and Culture somehow, only second in Gold. I hated it when all my Great People showed up there instead of my Capital.​

I managed to build all the Wonders in the game by turn 251, with neither War, nor city-flipping to me, nor any Game Modes. Well, it was a Prince / Continent / Small, but it was still a challenge for me. I must admit, I replayed the map because I couldn't secure Angkor Wat, and saved-scum 5 turns in order to secure Gebel Bakal the French stole from me. The fact I started next to the Païtiti wonder might have helped a bit.

For the no flipping part, Chinguetti is maybe an exception? The city was conquered by Kongo, went Free with 2 Swordsmen due to my Loyalty pressure, flipped to me but I refused it, went Free with 2 Warriors instead, so my Slingers / Warriors could conquer it and liberate it.

I learnt a few things:

• The production bonuses from Monument to the Gods (+15%), Corvée (+15%) and Autocracy (+10%) stack with Qin Shi Huangdi's ability. Brussels' Suzerain bonus will probably works (+15%), but it was not in the game. With 5 Builders charges, I could do any Wonders from the Ancient and Classical era (+40% of 15% → 21%). I need to do further testing to see if Amenities could increase of decrease the Production given.
• If you built the Pyramids in a city where Liang is established, the free Builders enjoys the additional charge from her (6 charges : 3 + 1 (Qin) + 1 (Liang) + 1 (Pyramids)).
• The 30% Faith discount from Monumentality stacks with the 15% Faith discount from Theocracy. I had a 45% discount on all my Builders and Settlers (almost half price!). The same should be true with Gold with Democracy. I need to do further testing to see if Mali could enjoy and 65% Gold discount with Monumentality, Suguba and Democracy.

I was swimming in Faith. I had around 1000 Faith per turn on my last turn. I had only 5 Holy Sites (and 2 religious City-States), so they "only" gave me 135 Faith in total, an average of 23 Faith each with 20 extra Faith from excess Prophets points (Oracle, Pingala). Divine Inspiration gave me 4 Faith per Wonders, so around 200 Faith in total, while Chinguetti also gave me around 200 Faith.
Add +15% from Kilwa and +24% from Ecstatic statue (Ibn Khadum), and 75% of my Faith output come from this 5 things: 5 Holy Sites, +4 Faith per Wonders, 12 Trade Routes with Chinguetti's bonuses, Kilwa Kisiwani with 2 religious City-State and Ecstatic Population.

You can say that Moksha was extremely useful in order to set up late cities. Just buy the districts with Faith!

Spoiler Qin wants to "talk" with the Engineer responsible of the Panama Canal :

It happened. I don't know why. I guess the Canal search for the first orientation suitable and do not seek to make sense with the whole Panama concept.

Spoiler Luckily for that Tribal Village, Meteors never strike twice the same place! :

Spoiler They are culturally dominated but they don't know it yet... :

Somehow, in this game, I managed to bug the game and failed to trigger the Culture victory. I launched the Satellites in order to meet all the remaining Civilizations at once. I had this on the turn on meeting:

[/img]​

Then the very next turn, the game adapts the Tourism value (the maximum Tourism from a Civilization you can get cannot exceed their domestic Tourism).

I never managed to trigger the Cultural Victory. So I went into space.

That's taking wonderwhoring to a whole new level.

Speaking about wonder, this has to go high on my list of "worst AI-wonders ever".

It took me a few minutes to understand you are not talking about Machu Picchu! To be fair, I would probably done the same thing. Machu Picchu is an empire-wide Wonder. The Wonder on itself has no other purpose than increase adjacent Theater Square locally.

I do not understand how he could have put that Temple of Artemis. It needs to be adjacent to a Camp improvement, but there is none next to it. He cannot have harvested the tile because the Maori cannot harvest Bonus ressource. So... how? At least it is 4 Food and 3 Housing!

 

[SeelingCat]

I believe it's a different, modded, wonder: the Temple of Poseidon.

That Machu Pichu is really beautiful though. That is Civilization VI's high point.

 

[Aurelesk]

Spoiler The scenery here is wonderful! I want to go on Brasilia National Park again! :

​

No, no. It is not a bug. It is really 705 Tourism worth. I just maximised the Appeal and the modifiers as high as I could. I could fit 5 other National Parks afterward, with 476, 571, 588, 610, and 621 Tourism each. In total, that city generated 3571 Tourism by itself only through those 6 National Parks.

Yeah sorry, that was perhaps a bit vague. The temple is indeed the Temple of Poseidon (from the mod linked above), which is in a perfect position for him. I was indeed referring to the Machu Picchu wonder, which of course could have been useful if he had a lot of districts next to mountains elsewhere in his empire ... he just didn't.

It is a tactical move! The AI is so smart it knew that if anyone built it, they are going to enjoy too much adjacency bonuses to district from it and will crush Kupe sooner or later! So he built it, so nobody could enjoy from it... Smart move, Kupe!
He can still conquer the world and have access to those mountains!


For the National Parks worth 705 Tourism, I made the math. The Appeal is 32-32-31-31, a total sum of 126. How?

Each unimproved Rainforest with Brazil, Reyna's Forestry Management and the Biosphère wonder gives 3 Appeal to adjacent tiles. So, a tile with 6 adjacent Rainforest has 18 Appeal.
Add River (+1 Appeal), Eiffel Tower (+2), Golden Gate Bride (+4), Alvar Aalto (+1, 2 times with Mausoleum), Charles Correa (+2, 2 times with Mausoleum) and you have 31 Appeal, and 32 with Chichén Itzá next to it (+1 Appeal, does not remove Rainforest, the Rainforest is unimproved for Reyna).
So... if features under districts are considered unimproved, does that mean Mbanza or Vietnam might enjoy +1 Appeal from Reyna's Forestry Management?

For the Tourism modifiers, there are Computers (+25%), Environmentalism (+25%), Golden Gate Bridge (+100%) and Wish You Were Here dedication (+100%). Oddly, from 126 to 705, we ends up to ×5.6 modifier, or +460%. Which is odd. Why not +250% as 25+25+100+100 or ×6.25 as 1.25×1.25×2×2? My guess is the formula is weird, and does some rounding (→ Wonders do suffer a lot from that).

1. Computers (+25%) and Golden Gate Bridge (+100%) are added together → +125% or ×2.25. It could be Environmentalism instead, I don't know.
2. Then it is multiplied with Environmentalism (×1.25) → ×2.8125
3. The value is rounded down: ×2.8125 → ×2.8
4. Then it is multiplied with Wish You Were Here (×2) → ×5.6
5. Then the Tourism is multiplied to that value → 705.6
6. Since Tourism are always Integer, it is rounded down → 705

That is how you ends up with a National Parks worth 705 Tourism, I guess?

My seasteads aren't very sea-like

To be fair, this seems to be a bug with the oceans mod. Still funny though. I ended up moving the seastead in the end next to the sea resource.

My lady-in-waiting, Odette, really wants to make sure that I know that the majority of the citizens in Arabia are following the Eastern Orthodoxy religion. I mean, she REALLY wants me to know. Guess there's not a lot of hot gossip in the court balls down there.

Wait, that's illegal!

If the German tourist finds Canada too distant to visit, Laurier will politely oblige and see Canadian culture brought much closer to the German tourist. Complete with a few regiments of well-trained tour guides

Speaking of which, would you care to explain how come you're still to research Refining, but you already have 4 Infantry armies (at least) and a positive oil balance trend? Young and Rockefeller alone wouldn't exactly cut it, would they?

In a certain way, it was. I won Tourism as Freleanor having almost completely flipped all of Shaka's cities. The mini-map looked like a giant pink blob. Most of the heavy-lifting was done by some high-level rock bands, though I can't remember if Furry Revolution was one of them or not. I certainly hope it was

I think the greatest takeaway from that game is a great name for a custom religion if I ever attempt a Religious Victory. If the world ever flocks to the churches of "Furry Revolution," I'll be sure to share a screenshot
