Hi all,
I'm a seasoned Civ VI player but I don't have as much time to play as I used to to. I've tried some bits of the latest expansions, which bring much needed novelty to spark my interest.
My question is as follows : which of the new game modes do you consider to be musts for all new games? I tried all of them to some extent but I find that some sure add flavor and cool mechanics, but tend to make the game unbalanced. For example, I was trying my luck on Immortal with Gaul, but I felt that using (not to say exploit) heroes gave me an unfair edge. Also, my Vampires (combined with Siege Towers) literally STEAMROLLED my way to a Domination victory without breaking much sweat. On the other hand, Apocalypse made sure I was basically spending all my gold buying Builders to reconstruct damaged tiles to vocanoes. Felt more tedious than anything else.
For this reason, I tend not to use Apocalypse, SS and Heroes modes. They are fun, but for a "legit" game (to test my mettle VS Deity) I feel like they're OP and that if I win, it will be thanks to them only.
Corporations I haven't tried yet but I feel that this one I'll be using.
Random Tech and Civic trees... meh, it makes it harder for you but no big impact on the AI I guess.
So... is there anyone who feels the way I do about game modes?
Cheers!
