Greece First Look (Pericles) Video

Acropolis is a District, not an improvement.

Thanks for pointing that out, edited it.

But the that would be no better than having an Acropolis right next to the city building it....
Since the Acropolis's culture (and the ability to put specialists in the tile) goes to the city that Built the district.

You can't switch districts between cities... the city that built it gets it.

(something like that might be worthwhile if those were the only hills in that area)



Essentially once a city builds a District (or Wonder) in a tile, that tile belongs to that city.. it can't "switch back"

Hopefully you can switch a tile between cities Before you put the District/wonder there (so you could do that setup if the only hills were in that ring.)

Maybe, but it would look awesome.

You have 7 cities and only 6 acropoleis . You should move one acropolis adjacent to one of the ring cities and then build one in the capital

It gets bonuses from being next to other districts though, not just the City Center. Doing it like in the diagram would be an interesting to boost that by having them chain each other for adjacency.

couldnt you just build the acropolis to its city's citycentre and all other districts of that city around that? D:

I mean, in that star pattern...each acropolis just gets +2 for the capital's centre and +1 each for the adjacent districts...you could just do that much for every city itself without that pattern.

Yeah, I noticed, couldn't squeeze in a seventh one. Damn those six-sided hexagons

You're right it would probably not make any sense towards optimization of the yields.

dturtle1 got me enthused to visualize it.

Possible?, it is amazing !!!!, Visualise the splendour of it

Yeah exactly One Acropolis per City so One Capital and 5 Satellite Cities. Idk but an Atlantis Styled Ring Civilisation with a Main Capital City surrounded by specialised satellite Cities with Greek Architecture and few wonders would look absolutely amazing.

I think it's probable that placing an Acropolis next to a second city center is unlikely to happen too often. The second city would have to lose access to a ton of tiles. But there are a handful of cases where it might be useful, particularly if that's where hills happen to be.

That's the thing about the Acropolis--you can't just put them anywhere. If you did happen to find a cluster of 6 hills in a ring, you could theoretically surround a city with Acros (and force that city to have no tiles of its own). But it would require the stars to align.

I really love the strategic depth of it though. The bonus may sound simplistic, but it's not a simplistic decision on where to place a city or the district, particularly when you consider you have other districts to think about, like the Aqueduct, which will need to be both adjacent to the City Center and a river/lake/mountain. So already you're talking about two tiles that need decisions made, and in some cases you won't be able to satisfy both.

The more I read about Greece the more excited I am for it. I'll likely be using them in one of my first few playthroughs, hopefully Pete doesn't get them nerf'd too soon (likely the suzerain bonus being too OP without some cap or diminishing returns).

 

[Magil]

One thing I'll say is that currently, I like every Civ enough to be comfortable selecting "Random" for my first play through. I could really see myself playing any Civ--I imagine I'll enjoy civs that get to play around with districts the best, like Germany, Greece, Brazil, and Japan, but I kinda want to save trying to optimize economic benefits from districts for a few games in so I understand my goals a bit better.

 

[Scaramanga]

I think the underwhelming nature of Greece is because their fame makes them an ideal starter civ for new players.

 

[DeutschDachs]

Frederick Barbarossa is not going to like Greece very much... Civ really nailed modern German-Greek relations

Has it been stated whether the Acropolis retainers the standard (+1) adjacency bonus form being next to Wonders, which normal Theater districts have?

Or is that lost and completely replaced by the higher district adjacency ability?

 

[Foulweather]

What I really enjoy about Greece is that Pericles' leader ability, "Surrounded by Glory", is a mechanic that mirrors Athens' real rise under Pericles. The Civ-VI Pericles relies on being the suzerain to city states to increase his culture, in the same way that the real Pericles relied on accepting payments from the Delian League members to build cultural improvements and sponsor the artists, dramatists, and philosophers of Athens. I love when the game can mirror history so well.

It wasn't stated, but I don't think we've seen any UD loosing their adjacency bonuses.

I don't think the Hansa will get adjacency for regular mines like the Industrial Zone. Seems like the Acropolis could go either way, we don't know yet.

According to Ed Beach, Greece is the baseline for Civ power.

 

[SupremacyKing2]

Can't wait to play Greece in civ6. They are going to be one of top 3 favorite civs in civ6, no doubt.

This is critically important info for me. I will, at some point, go back and redesign all my Civ6 ideas to be roughly this power level, and try to reduce it to somewhere near its level of simplicity. Will obviously be impossible, because you just can't capture the uniqueness of ~40 Civs with such simplicity and lack of intimacy with the game mechanics/balance.

Thanks for the info!

We know the Japanese electronics factory does provide bonuses to multiple cities, because it explicitly says so. If it's not made explicit that an improvement or district affects more than its home city, I doubt it'll work as the multipliers will get too big.
