I just declared war on myself?  I'm Aztec. Greece asks me to joint war India, who could refuse such an offer? A few turns later Greece asks me to declare friendship, which I do. A few turns after that, Greece parks two warriors by my capital and declares a surprise war. But right after his war screen comes up, the Aztec war screen comes up as well. Maybe because I was friends with Greece? The popups on the side say it was actually Cleopatra who was the second declaration, who isn't even on this continent and may or may not be in this game.

If an unmet faction declares on you (because someone asked them to), you get your own leader screen. I haven't experienced this myself, it's just the tentative consensus for now.

I just finished a game as China, and it felt really silly to have three Great Writers sitting around in 1850 because I was producing great people faster than I could actually build places to hold the great works.Gully Foyle posted:That's honestly been a major issue in every Civ, and probably every 4x game. That point where it is obvious you are going to win, but need to spend a bunch of time actually winning is definitely a downside to the genre. I don't know if it really is possible to fix it. I do sort of miss the environmentalism of certain earlier Civ games, where you would spend time building mass transit, recycling centres, and using workers to reduce pollution. Sure, it was make-work and could be annoying, but it made you feel like you were doing something good while your science victory ticked over. This sort of stuff is why CK2 and Stellaris both do the 'let's see how everybody deals with a giant doom invasion from off the map' as a standard part of the late game. Steve2911 posted:Been playing on Prince difficulty and this is definitely way easier than the equivalent on Civ V. I've always just picked a vague strategy and built up at mostly random in that direction, but the AI doesn't seem to be stopping or trying to outpace me at the moment. At this point of Civ V I felt completely, totally hosed from every angle. So far to me, the AI seems way, way more competent as soon as you pick a slower speed than Standard, even staying on Prince difficulty level. I'm wondering if it's just that the AI can't deal with the particular ratio of production speed to turns of the Standard speed.

If only the AI could GG out when you bring 20 proselytizing apostles. My second game became an accidental religious victory, oddly enough. Prince difficulty, since this was only my second game. I was trying to prevent TR from spreading his vile protestantism, as he only had to convert me to win. Realizing I had something stupid like 25,000 faith in the bank, I built up a few dozen apostles to convert my cities back, and then the buffer cities around me...and then well I still have some left over I guess I'll convert America for kicks and suddenly the 'chievos pop, and the game was over. It seems like the AI sort of does the same strategy, except they blow their apostle wad too early and end up kinda hosed. I was a consistent emperor player in V, for those that are playing on higher difficulties, how significant is the bump after Prince? After an embarrassing loss due to score my first game, the subsequent three have felt pretty easy.

By a source of freshwater if possible, at least until you have extra sources of housing; the early Housing limit without a source of fresh water is terrible. There are some times you might settle elsewhere, but generally, you want freshwater.

Also, for the longest time I thought the little red house in the city name on the map meant that the city was at its housing limit, but that's not actually what it means. That means it doesn't have a source of fresh water, either from when you built the city or from an aqueduct. There actually isn't an easy way to tell from the map when a city is at its housing limit, you have to click on it and then read the toolbar at the bottom

Holy HELL how do I check what deals I've made with the AI? Harald is being a MASSIVE TOOL and standing right on my incomplete wonder that I can't rush because my Great Engineer can't be on the spot with him. I have NO WAY of knowing how many more turns this will go on for and I have no way of canceling any of it. This is so infuriating.

Yeah, I'm saying the red house icon is a signal about the city's water status, which most players know when they built the city and changes once, if at all, so why is it taking up so much UI space? Meanwhile, the city's population-housing ratio, which changes throughout the game many times and is important to negotiate, is not immediately visible.

Aqueducts either bring the city to freshwater levels if you don't have freshwater already, or give you +2 if you already have freshwater in that city. However, rivers also enable waterwheels, which are nice.

So I have one archeologist then he vanishes, and I can't seem to build any more. I'd assume you need to have the right kind of museum or a university in the city, but nope.

Makes sense, my main point was that his first instinct was right, the red house was because he was at/near the housing cap. Settling on water will increase your starting housing so you won't see the warning right away. IcePhoenix fucked around with this message at 04:41 on Oct 25, 2016 |

In a culture district, you can make either a building for artifacts, or one for great works. If you build the artifact museum, that city can produce an archaeologist, who has has 3 charges in all but name. He will survive until he has filled his city's museum (it can't trade artifacts until it's full), then disappear. Also Leader Animations is a setting. I believe it's under Leader Animation graphical quality, you can just set it to off. I'd recommend you leave it like that, honestly, it saves you waiting for their animations to play out.

Yes, but my point was that the red house doesn't communicate anything about the population-housing ratio unless it is specifically "You could build an aqueduct here". A city that is near its housing cap but has an aqueduct will not have a red house, when many people might think "Hey, city growth slowing to a crawl might be important." It pops up in the sidebar messages but there are so many garbage popups that it becomes easy to tune them out. Edit: Also a city that is way below its housing cap (because you built a Neighborhood) but does not have an aqueduct will still have a red house. This is all I am saying Edit 2: OK, I am going to leave the above up there, but it looks like I am wrong. The thing that confused me is when when a city is one-under or equal to its housing cap, it doesn't get the red house even though its growth is already seriously crippled.

For as much as was made about Civ 6 leaders being more animated and goofy and such I'm really underwhelmed by most of them. Philip and Victoria are cool but the rest are very self-contained. Peter is absolutely infuriating and I DOW him every time because I can't stand his hand-wringing simpering or his unfounded snobbishness. I liked much better Alexander riding up on a horse to taunt you smugly or Montezuma gesticulating above his brazier or Boudicca slamming her sword into the cart or Kamehameha and his fantastic hat.
