Banana Man posted:Still getting used to the game, how do I use for Japan for the best effect? I'm not quite sure how the adjacency bonus works for them Normally, districts gain +1 output for every 2 other districts next to them. Japan gets +1 for every adjacent district (possibly stacking with the normal bonus, the wording suggests it does but I haven't checked) so they're encouraged to make super build up cities.

Everything's brown and it's not easy to identify the terrain without hovering the cursor over it to read the details. I really like the maps for the areas you haven't explored with the fish and the dragons and all but yeah, idk why they would think a brown morass is something to add. Also Germany is op as gently caress holy poo poo.

This game has the Worst Hills. It's incredibly hard to tell hills from plains, and if something's on the hill like a resource, good luck.

It's not like they'll do anything but hate you even without a warmonger penalty, and even the weird ones who like you won't give you anything useful. Yeah the AI civs have enough trouble getting anything done even when they luck out and manage to drop an invasion force right on top of your city. Threats and warnings are about 10 steps removed from any real danger.

Is there a way to mess with the config files and create custom hotkeys? During periods where nothing is going on, I like to turn on auto end turn. However, there's no way to turn it off besides going back into the system menu and flipping the toggle. You can't tell units to wake up when it's not your turn, or do anything else that might pause the auto end. Unfortunately the game itself doesn't pause when you're in the system menu, so if someone declares war on you and you want to turn off auto end, you may actually miss an additional turn while you're opening up the menu to turn this feature off. It'd be nice if I could set up a hotkey to toggle it rather than having to go through a four step process every time I want to turn it on and off.

I don't like how they changed movement so that you need two movement points to go uphill/forest/etc., rather than being able to spend the second point to do it.

Yeah, you're encouraged to make your cities into tight clumps, and ideally pack them nice and tight too so you can get the bonuses from your super-factory (+4 hammers/culture compared to the normal factory's +3). They also build holy, theater and encampment districts in half the time. Makes it easy to counterspy since the vast majority of your districts will be in the 1-tile counter-aura your spies have. That is it would if you didn't have to set CS orders every 3 turns.

So in my near-completion Germany game, basically all 10 surviving AI's are spying on my capital, either on the campus or the financial district. I got the Great Zimbabwe and a few other buffs to trading income, so each of Aachen's 10 trade routes makes 30 gold, in addition to other outputs. Anyway, my two spies are catching an enemy spy basically every 2 turns, and every time the owner immediately offers me amenities and cash for the spy's return. I just keep getting richer and happier, it's making the conquest of Brazil super easy.

I'm not sure I like the current city-state suzerain bonuses. Some of them are too good and it kind of breaks the game when you can abuse them early. I got one suzerain bonus (with 3 envoys) that lets you choose promotions for your apostles and went on to convert 3 civs to my religion, wiping out 2 religions (one was Saladin) in the first 150 turns on standard. Now I'm gonna accidentally get another religious victory.  So what can I do about england capturing city-states, can I liberate them later or will they just be cities from now on? I can't afford to go to war with england right now, but I'll have to if they threaten my double unit experience militaristic city-state

It did lead to one funny situation where a barb unit got stuck in a forest while my archers just pelted it with arrows from a plain 2 tiles away. It had to spend one turn leaving the forest, then another to actually attack my archers. But otherwise, yeah these movement rules are kinda annoying.

The movement rules are probably more fair to the AI because it's easy to understand as a human that you should always end your turn on a forest/hill or crossing a river, but it's anywhere from not easy to physically impossible to get the AI to understand it. It does make me hate Jungle starts even more though I generally like the change. I would be fine if just scouts had the old movement and got only two moves instead of the new three.

There is oooonnneeee unseen tile over here and ahaa now you have 3 units pillaging tiles. The cost to repair those tiles is so expensive for how fsst the barbarians come back.  Turn 15, on King.

So I have to click on a civ to see the civ trait, click the leader to see the leader trait for that civ, go back to the civs tab, pick that civ again, click the first unique unit/building/improvement, see that, go back to the civ tab, pick the civ again, and then check the second unique thingie.

Peaceful Anarchy posted:Maybe I'm misunderstanding the new movement system, but in what situation would this be to the scout's advantage? They ignore terrain cost altogether in Civ V is kinda what I meant. Even without that they could still cross a river or end their turn on a hill/tree with their last move I guess. The promotions for Civ VI scouts are nice but unless I'm playing a huge pangaea map I've explored everything neccessary by the time I've earned one.

Can you ever do anything good with rainforest tiles? My captial has loads to its north but they're doing very little for me when worked. Should I chop em down or is there a tech right around the corner that turns them into mega-food tiles or something?

On the technical side, this really is the most stable version of Civ I have every played. Not a single crash so far, no slowdown, no graphical glitches and everything is fast, including loading times. Same rig as Civ5 but that thing crashed every now and then and was much slower. They did a fantastic job and I can't wait how the game will look like after the first expansions and updates.

Anyone know why the game takes 10+ minutes to launch from Steam for me? In that time my laptop's fans are quiet, as if it's not straining to load anything, until eventually the game starts and actually runs pretty well. I had the same issue with Civ V and Beyond Earth after upgrading to Windows 10.

I'm realizing how awful I've been at managing my cities so far. I blame the UI. Civ4 had nice distinctive icons for positive/negative local city health & happiness so you'd pay attention to those numbers.   I was maximizing growth out of habit and wasting a disgusting amount of tile yields on limited growth. But my capital had very little growth and even in the late game it's still my smallest core city and is producing twice what my best civ5-esque min-max 4x river wheat tile 7x floodplain tile petra super-city with 3 overlapping industrial center boosts can make. My tiny capital sitting at 9 pop has twice the production with amenity boosts for being so small.

Is it just because my SSD is slow, or when you start/load a game, did they purposefully set it so that you have to sit there and listen to the Beanster give his entire leader speech before you can click 'continue' every single time? I swear it wasn't like this in Civ V, and now in VI regardless of leader, the 'continue' button will not show up until he's started the very last sentence of the leader intro. It makes reloading really annoying. Edit: Sanctum posted:I'm realizing how awful I've been at managing my cities so far. I blame the UI. Civ4 had nice distinctive icons for positive/negative local city health & happiness so you'd pay attention to those numbers. Yeah, I'm trying to relearn city management. Right now I just put every city on food/production focus and ignore it, but on higher difficulties I'm going to really have to focus on production when it becomes obvious a city won't grow quickly (housing cap issues). I still don't really know when a good breakpoint is to start specializing citizens in your campus/theatre/industrial... Fhqwhgads fucked around with this message at 12:58 on Oct 28, 2016 |

Nothing has ever been slow for me, I just find it way too coincidental that whoever I play as, whether it's starting a new game or loading a current game, I always get the 'play' button during the last sentence of the speech. I remember in V just burning through the speeches in like 5 seconds. Just a curiosity, not sure if it's me or if they did something on purpose because gently caress it we paid Sean Bean you're going to goddamn listen to Sean goddamn Bean! Edit: Gameplay conceit, I don't like how I can't tell a civ to back off until they already do something I don't want. I'm playing against Spain, and have totally carpeted my own continent with my religion. I don't tell him to step off with his missionaries until after he converts one of my cities? Of course I can't convert it back without royally pissing him off, either...
