Sid Meier said the game is a series of meaningful choices. Unfortunately, there are not many choices for Civilization 6. At first, expand until you can. And exploit cities before districts becomes very expensive. If it does not seem to be able to win, it is only war. Therefore I made exploration, exploitation, expansion and extermination more meaningful.
V1.2 Patch note
1. Realistic Exploration
Units with 2 movement is really slow because they waste a movement when they confront features(forest,jungle,marsh) or terrain(hills,river). Units should have at least 3 movements to explore rough world.
All unit movement +1
2. Hills do not provide food. Your choice should be more important than placing your citizens on the most profitable tiles.
All hills only provide 2 productions.
3. Extreme district cost inflation is mitigated by lowered scaling. Accordingly, the yield from harvesting decreases. However, it can be improved after Industrialization. Those changes make you possible to expand cities in late era, which is impossible now.
Scaling factor x10 -> x4.
Industrialization doubles the yield from harvest. - Industrialization leads environmental destruction. Isn't it?
4. Science and culture are important in 6. If you consider adjacency bonuses, it is very difficult to find campus and theater sites. It makes playing tall cities difficult.
Campus and Theater now acquire adjacent bonus 1 from 3 tiles of grass or plain.
5. In Civilization 6, there was no specialist, only layperson. Now they are back. Good for tall city.
Citizen in district slot yields twice now.Ex) Citizen in campus yields 4 (was 2 before) sciences.
6. Did you miss Civilization 5 where you can easily build your own roads? Did you miss valuable maritime trade? You can now make the road quickly. Make a lot of money by traveling a long distance by ship.
Land range of merchant not 10(was 15). Ocean range of merchant is 30(no change).
Once a merchant makes a round trip, the trade is finished (at least 20 turns before).
A ship allows you to trade long distances and it provides additional yields. (x)
(I need help to solve it ☹. I don’t know how to get length of the trade routes.)
7. The next technology of the wheel unlocks lumbermills. You will have to think more about cutting down the forest.
Engineering unlocks lumbermill.
8. Play aggresive with oligarchy governement, defensive with autocracy and monarcy.
Oligarchy now has 2(was 1) military slots and 0(1) economic slot.
Autocracy now has 1(2) military slot and 2(1) economic slots.
Monarchy has 2(3) military card slots and 2(1) wild card slots.
9. Do not cry any more when you don’t have an iron nor oil. You can do it if you can.
You can produce the units which that require the strategic resource without it in a city with an encampment. (Expect Better AI)
10. The military maintenance cost was too cheap and there were too many units on map. It must be harder to keep many troops now. In addition, the cost of upgrading units has also increased.
All unit maintenance cost doubled.
All upgrade cost doubled. Professional army (50%->30%)
11. Unit balance tweak and add anti-ranged, anti-melee. I can not agree with the opinion that swordman take combat bonus against spearman. Spear is longer than sword and that point is further maximized in group battles. Swordman should be strong against archers because they have a sheilds to block arrows IMO while spear can't block arrows.
+2 combat to spear man (was 25) and pike man (41)
+3 combat to AT crew (70), infantry (70)
+5 combat to modern AT (80)
+5 ranged combat (75) and combat (65) to machine gun.
+5 combat to monk. Military engineer build charge 2->8.
Oligarchy melee bonuses 4 ->3. (now +3 legacy bonus, +3 gov bonus)
Anti-spear bonus (+10 combat against anti-cavalry) to ranged units.
Anti-range bonus (+5 combat against ranged unit) to melee units
Anti-melee bonus (+5 combat against melee unit) to cavalry unit.
Simply, melee > ranged > anti cavalry > cavalry > melee.
12. Balance tweak on religions (Pantheon, Belief) with more fun.
