First login in years

[Roman Legion]

So I'm back, been playing Civ 6 lately, last civ I played was civ 3 and hadn't played that in year, let alone logged in here. Trying to figure out civ 6, it's a different beast, but I'll get there. I finished my first play through today and lost of course lol

But between last login and now, a lot has changed in my life and I hope I'm not as much of an idiot and a jerk as I feel I likely was as a kid being around here.

Anyway, need to figure out how to mod civ 6 now and what mods are must haves. I hope to stick around here regularly and make some new friends, learn something and contribute again. Off to play my second play through on Civ 6.

Take a look at the highest rated mods on the Workshop, there are some real gems to be found. I use mods that add in more units to fill in the gaps, to make the World Congress appear later and some UI adjustments.

The one mod I basically never play without (except when I play on Switch) is

Terra Mirabilis. Rebalances the natural wonders (becuase half of them are awful) and gives each one a unique ability, instead of just tile yields for some. Also adds some more.

Honestly I'd probably get my feet wet with vanilla before diving into mods etc. There are a lot more mechanics at play here vs. CivIII.

Yeah I would also recommend getting familiar with the base stuff before any mods or DLC.

My favorite mods are nothing big gamechanging ones, I like 'Colored historic moments', 'No Giant Death Robot unit", "Real great people" and some fan made civs and leaders.

That's my thing with video games. It's a bit painful to watch people play a really great game packed with mods before playing vanilla first. And I barely ever mod the game with stuff hat completely changes the game. But that's me.

The only one I use is "better reports," well, because I was sick of not being able to sort by yields

If had started posting back when I started lurking here, I would probably have a wholly terrible reputation. ( Instead of my carefully managed facade of mediocrity!)

Welcome back!

I'm a big fan of Sukritact's Simple UI adjustments. The UI in civ 6 still leaves a lot to be desired. This fixes a few issues.

Thanks everyone! Yeah, I do plan to keep things un-modded for now except maybe for some minor improvements as mentioned above, possibly, but I'm in my second game of civ 6 now and doing better but still learning a bunch. I dunno if I'll win but I don't think I'm doing nearly as bad as I did my first playthrough lol
