You ever single player rage quit?

[Jandos]

I used to ragequit quite a lot before I learned how the fake friendship of some leaders is working.
I remember how Harald Hardrada declared surprise war on me with his "Now comes a storm you cannot escape. You can only hope for a quick death. Til sigrs! Til halla Óðins!" when I was busy bulding entertainment complexes with Eleanor on turn 60 or so.
Now I always keep a look on all leaders military strenght all the time

Had a couple quits (not really rage quits though as I wasn't that upset) with Mali. In the end I gave up and played a game as Matthias. I don't know why Mali is suddenly so challenging. I think it's the mods and how it affects map placement. Surviving the early game has just been too challenging for me with the Mali. Strangely I did not have this problem last year (those games were before the fall patch). At this point, I'm considering Mali the most challenging leader to play. I've never struggled like this before.

Today's rage quit: Just proudly upgraded my two slingers to archers when four Korean crossbowmen declared a surprise war.
(By the way: Why can't I exclude Korea in the game setup options?)

You can by hand-picking the civs you want to be in the game.

As to the OP's question, often I come to the game wanting a particular sort of play experience. Let's say I want to play a naval game and I get a start miles inland. Restart! I don't feel it necessary to bow to the gods of RNG and play whatever starting hand I'm dealt. Maybe it's a "challenge" to do so, but I don't care about that. I'm looking for fun, so I will restart until I get a map that looks fun.

I know that of course. I wish for an option to EXCLUDE certain civs without taking away the surprise element.

I wouldn't call it a ragequit, but I probably don't play past turn 5 of like 90% of my games. Usually I don't even do anything except take a 5 second glance and then reroll. I reroll until I get a good start. I play on higher difficulties though, back when I used to play on prince/4 (which is the most "fair" in terms of resources) I would take whatever it gave me.

You could use firetuner so you don't have to keep rerolling. Unless are going for achievements.

edit: now, imagine if the ai could ragequit, and when it did, you got a little message saying so-and-so just ragequit and why.

Sometimes I try my hand at a GOTM. You know, where the sacred rule is not to replay any turns? In most cases it ends with me giving up because I made some mistake that I know will cause a loss of turns. Its more frustration with my carelessness than rage though.

I use that mod where you can specify an "old" world with fewer mountains and volcanoes? The number of times I find myself surrounded by frickin' mountains anyway...….

 

[Funababbitt]

I suppose it could be called a rage quit when I discovered what they had done to strategic resources in Gathering Storm. I was a warmonger. I played for conquest. The vanilla release was worthless because the AI couldn't attack and couldn't defend. Religion bores me with its spammed missionaries and profits. Tourism - who cares? Let's be peace love and groovy and all smoke a joint didn't work for me. When I encountered my first "World Council" vote about which religion should have extra advantages, the question seemed idiotic. So the discovery that strategic resources had to be acquired through "cooperation" because they were otherwise so scarce that my warriors were being overwhelmed by swordsmen, it was the game breaker.

I had been wise enough to await years and many reviews before buying Civ 5. I liked it. I liked Civ 4. I rage quit Civ 3 when my battleship was sunk by a spearman and never played it again. I started with Civ 2 and pulled a few all nighters with it. I loved it. With Civ 6, I made the same mistake I'd made with some earlier nerfed versions and jumped right in. Sure there was good stuff, some good concepts. I am happy to take time to learn about bonuses and advantages, and even watch videos of some games - but not with a game that just sucks.

It appears Firaxis made it a marketing strategy, to put out crap games and then try to affect repairs with overpriced expansions. This time it completely failed to work for me and ended up making a bad game worse. We're all onto their game. So, why am I here? I came for one last look, to see if the game had yet been modded to fix its fatal flaws. Nope. I won't be buying Civ 7. I don't care if there is a Civ 7. It seems to me this franchise has run its allotted life span and is ready for the catacombs. At this point, I wouldn't call myself a Civ Fanatic any more. I'd rather play Age of Empires or Rise of Nations. I didn't like them nearly as well as the Civ franchise but they seem to have survived without the developers screwing them up.

Only once. An ally (pretty certain it was Dom Satan) declared war on me the turn our alliance ended and proceeded to blitzkrieg through my empire, conquering all of my cities except one (and that one was not my capital). The game was over at that point so I quit.

Play as Inca and benefit?

Rage is a very powerful emotion. If you "rage quit" to a game rest assured you’re definitely not having it against the game but what it represents to you in real life or as an accepted replacement of what really is bothering you.

But was it in rage? For some reason, I can’t picture in rage ever.

By the way, nice to see you back, @Zaarin. Missed your commentary and spirit.

Not really rage. More just "Well, I'm done." I do have a pretty explosive temper if provoked enough, but I'm pretty slow to get there. I think I'd have the sense to walk away from a game long before it got me there...

Thank you!

Just did. Started next to Nubia and was crushed by a wave of the Cow's potato archers. It didn't help that the game's barbs have the idiot XCOM Zombie AI where the barbs will choose to attack the player before another civ. Sure fun fending off both the angry bovine and barbs. On the plus side, I didn't have to get lectured about my cities not being built properly.

 

[Deadly Dog]

Rage quit? Well, yes, but far easier for me to show the handful of times I didn't rage quit in time:

Well, always bear in mind there is only so much space for resources. Getting tons of iron and horses early means less of other resources later. Likewise, your seemingly barren regions might be the world's only sources of niter, coal, or oil later.

But yeah, it can still be a bummer.

Not necessarily- last game I had no horses, iron, aluminum, or oil (This is V), and only 1 source of Uranium. Strategics tend to screw me.

Fully justified in giving it up. Not so much a case of rage quit as disgust quit. If it's not entertaining, why continue?

Achievements, mostly.

 

[OmegaDestroyer]

I have a variant I call "religious victory quit." It hits when I realize how incredibly tedious it will be to go and try to convert the rest of the civilizations, and it will be a pain to switch to a different win condition.

I've never seen the point of achievements in any game.
