If you capture a city, but don't hit the "keep city" button, and then settle peace negotiations, the "cede XX city" won't show up in the list. This has hosed me.

Is there a way to control where great people spawn? My great admiral spawned in a harbor on the other side of my main continent, far away from where my fleet was staging, and blocked off by ice caps.

Oh look, the religion I founded is missing from my capital (and is thus gone forever) about 5 turns after I founded it. No other civs sent any missionaries, it just magically vanished. What a wonderful bug.

Even if you go back the full 10 turns? If that is the case then that sucks and I feel your pain. Maybe go back 10 turns and do different poo poo?

You could load an autosave and found it a turn or two later, I guess.

I just played around with the autosaves and it's worse than that. I use the Great Prophet on the holy site in my cap, pick the religion, and it doesn't show up in my cap at all. Still shows the pantheon like in my other cities. It didn't grow that turn, and I tried using it a turn later and got the same result. All of my cities are very far away from any other religious cities so it isn't pressure doing it. Something in my game is hosed so that my religion never "takes" in my capital. Too bad, that looked to be a good China game where I had a good Petra expand and was able to steal a settler from barbs.

A fun thing to do when starting next to Monty and have been given recon units from tribal villages is to declare war on him, have your Scouts purposely weaken themselves against Eagle Warriors while having your own Horsemen near, let the Scout be turned into a Builder, then kill Monty's Warrior and get a free Builder.

It almost seems as if the quotes were looked up by a bot and then just fed to Mr. Bean without being checked by a human first. Also, I hate it that you can't bribe a civ to go to war with someone else anymore. I enjoyed being a puppet master in previous games.

Fojar38 posted:Has anyone else read the historical sections of the Civilopedia and realized that whoever wrote it is an rear end in a top hat? They definitely talk a whole lot about how this and that were primitive and savage. And not just in the context of caveman ages, from Russia's entry for example: quote:The roots of Russia lay in the initial settlement of Novgorod by the Norse and the establishment of the Kievan Rus kingdom around 882 AD by Oleg, who managed to conquer the Ilmen Slavs, Finno-Ugris, Veps and Votes who inhabited the region - but they were all just a bunch of uncivilized savages. So, let's begin with the rise of Grand Duchy of Muscovy. Also the time periods they cover in regards to civilizations can be super weird, instead of broadly going from their origins to present day, the German entry for example ends in 1815 and the Greek one in 336 BC with a literal "and the rest, as they say, is history" conclusion. Yeah, I'm sure nothing of any significance has happened in Greece for the last 2300 years.

Yeah I'm pretty sure whoever wrote the Civilopedia is the same person as who chose the quotes. They're trying very hard to be ironic and offhand and "well I claim they're savages, but obviously that's ironic and racist, the irony is that they weren't actually savages and I am glibly glossing over their history in a manner that might seem to be racist to you but is actually very respectful (if you're in on the joke...)" It's a very low-effort type of humor, similar to sarcasm, where it's just literally "X, but, psych! Not actually X  "

Trivia posted:If you capture a city, but don't hit the "keep city" button, and then settle peace negotiations, the "cede XX city" won't show up in the list. Also, even if you remember to ask for a city to be ceded, if you miss that the other side are asking for that city to be returned, you will return it. The option to cede is not greyed out or hidden, and if you select it the demand to return is not automatically removed. I just conquered Madrid again, and when Philip refused peace without returning it, I just wiped out his last city and the settler he was trying to sneak out.

This is yet another issue that somehow carried over from the Civ V release. I remember when they introduced the civs online and were showing off the Ottomans. I'm paraphrasing because of memory. "The Ottomans originated in Asia-minor(most Americans won't know where that is)." "The United States is a world power(which means it has enough nuclear weapons to destroy the world several times over)"

Yeah but at least 5 it felt like it was still trying to be edutainment. This barely tells you any information at all--I mean, it's not like I feel like I've learned everything about chemistry that the Civilopedia has to teach to someone with a barely passing interest in the history of science, it just feels like there's a lot less of it in between the  .

I'm paraphrasing because of memory. V was much better in that regard, it didn't have even nearly as many attempts at dumb quips and overall felt like it was written more professionally and with more respect towards the various things it covered. For the sake of accuracy, the two quotes you're thinking of went quote:Many Americans know very little about the Ottoman Empire (it occupies the blind spot Americans have for pretty much everything between Greece and China). This is a great pity, for the Ottoman Empire was vast, powerful, and extremely interesting. quote:The United States of America is a world "super-power" (which more or less means that it possess weapons capable of destroying everything on het planet).

Not gonna lie: some of those great person choices, while it's not like they don't necessarily belong there, feel a little excessively tongue-in-cheek. Though I'd kinda like it if the "hurry wonder" great engineers had the ability like normal where they can spread it twice, but doubly attach their deeds to their unit and let them 100% rush their particular wonder with one of those charges--if you already built it or lost it to someone else, whatever, they're still as useful as any other GE, just they get a bonus for having their wonder in the game. Like Gustave Eiffel, he's in, right? Fur20 fucked around with this message at 12:18 on Nov 4, 2016 |

I'm assuming whoever was saying how easy culture victories are was kidding. I maxxed out the tech/civic tree around turn 300 on standard pace, now I've got 750 tourism per turn with all the civic bonuses and trade routes for 75% more tourism to the major civs. Only 1 other civ is making more than 60 culture or tourism per turn. 25 turns later I am a long way from culture victory conditions, I might as well just capture all the capitals at this rate. Even the weak civs aren't influenced yet.  Gort posted:* Factories, power plants, zoos and stadiums affect all cities within 6 tiles of them, and stack endlessly, so ideally you want cities circling an industrial hell-whirlpool full of baseball fields  Sometimes you can really milk the AI for gold via trading a single copy of a luxury multiple times and using spies to get huge pots of gold. Also they give a shitload for any great works

TASTE THE PAIN!! posted:People complaining about the AI not upgrading need to have Germany in their game on Immortal and up. They're a real powerhouse and have surprised me in two games rolling around mechanized infantry corps fairly early. This is pretty much my current situation on my first Immortal Civ VI game (though I'm using a lot of mods to slow down tech progression and also add better UI), I left Germany alive and we were friends for a while, but now he hates me due to different governments and he has Tank armies while I'm still utilizing Cavalry and Biplanes. If there wasn't a huge mountain range right between my Civ and Barbarossa he probably would've caused me a lot of grief.

Since someone brought up spies: has anybody figured out how to recruit partisans? One of the promotions available to my spy upon completing a mission was the ability to recruit partisans at 2 levels higher. I think it was mentioned before the release of the game that the recruit partisans mission allows a spy to spawn barbarians in a city with an encampment, but I've not seen the ability to actually perform this option, nor do I see encampments listed as districts in the spy relocation screen. Another half-implementation?

The city needs a neighborhood for it. The AI doesn't build anthing outside of the campus, spaceport, or commerce hub. Occasionally you will see a industrial or theatee district but rarely a neighborhood.

Started a game with Kongo on Emperor, as Prince was way too easy and King didn't offer that much improvement. Met Gandhi pretty early on, took his cities as they were situated on a long pair of rivers and he was busy building Stonehenge. 200 BC I discovered Gunpowder. 170 BC I discovered the Wheel. Something seems off....
