Simultaneous turns in MP > Disadvantage for lower hardware?

[andreasrau]

Hi guys,

You know the situation in a fight: Your range unit is low, so is your opponents unit - who attacks first will survive, the other one goes down... So what most people do is mouse spamming - I heard... I do that, too. But it doesnt work out for me.

I played the one and another multiplayer Civ6 game and I experienced some severe problems when fighting against other human players. In the beginning of the round other players are always faster than me starting to attack, running away or building a city - its so decisive in so many situations that you can do that first move.
Well, the others are always faster than me That sucks hard and multiplaying is almost not possible like that... Its a huge disadvantage!!

Is it just my "old" laptop? (IntelCore7 2,2GH; GTX760M; 8GB DDR3 RAM; SSD; details ulow, resolution 1600x... - the game itself works just fine..)
Inet connection: cable 50MB/s

Does anybody else got an idea or experiences the same problems?!?!

Replies welcome

"In the beginning of the round other players are always faster than me starting to attack"
If u start attacking at the beginning of the round u are doing it wrong
The way the civ networkstack works it that u can give comand's in Turn transition that wil go of first
Giving comands in turn transition in strategic view is the fastest way to get first move

I`ll try that with the stategic view! But I don`t really understand what you mean with "turn transition". Do you mean that i can give commands to my units when there is still the sign blinking: "Please wait"? That would be awesome. I`ll try that out, too.
Thx a lot for your reply!

"Do you mean that i can give commands to my units when there is still the sign blinking: "Please wait""

Jes thats how it works, if done correctly most of them go off

Well I tried. Didnt work...

Left click own unit > right click enemy unit.

That´s how it should work? Is that what you do? And that doing with various unit?

 

[komodowaran]

Left click own unit > hottkey for attack > right click enemy unit.
But with players that have a way better conection to host or are the host that won't work

Didn´t work out for me... maybe I´m too dump?!?! I don´t know. I´ll try to watch a MP video. That might help
thx anyway
