The White Dragon posted:Answer: the AI is a schizophrenic, suicidal mess of frayed and hosed logic. It isn't a question of provoking them, or maintaining an army or whatever; it's a question of when it will flip out that you have a unit walking on a tile it has vision on and denounces you as a lead-up to total war. Just wipe 'em out now, save you the trouble of competing for suzerain status. Right, but no. I am talking about every Civ game ever, and Civ VI already loosened the restrictions on strategic resources with regard to combat units; making them even more prevalent removes the interesting decision entirely, independent of AI patches or mods. Making strategic resources available to everyone makes every game the same. I understand that some people prefer one game of Civ [x] to be almost identical to their next, but since not everyone does, mods that make the game more same-y should be separated from mods that don't.

Hey so I just realized I did a dumb thing. I'm in Goon Games 2 and 3 and failed to realize that me flying out of the country for two weeks is going to affect how much I can contribute to the civ games. Is there any way to swap out with another player or do I need to surrender?

Because I'm surrounded by them in game #1 D: I've not had a chance to have a go at PBEM (or even SP really, too busy with other things) but might it be worth disabling barbarians for multi player? That would emphasise player interaction and prevent the kind of situation where everyone is playing their own barbarian mini game.

There's a bug in the game that currently prevents replacing AI by players in hot seat - it corrupts the save (replacing players by AI works fine, though). Let's discuss it on the game's page, I don't want to spam this thread. markus_cz fucked around with this message at 17:44 on Feb 1, 2017 |

I started a new game after a month or so of waiting on patches for diplomacy weirdness. Things were going smoothly. I was in declared friendships with two civs. After they had passed, both still read as "friendly". A few turns later, I sent them delegations and offered to declare friendships. Both refused. The next turn, both of them declared war on me. Whelp.

I wish there were an "upgrade all". Even if you still couldn't upgrade outside your own territory, it would be handy.

This mod looks pretty nice. It changes district costs so that they scale based on the number of that particular district you already possess, rather than your number of techs and civics. Much more elegant in my opinion.

How did the AI manage to get one civ two full eras ahead of me (information era vs. just into industrial), get mech infantry and still lose all its cities to a small army of a few trained up artillery, about 3 infantry and a few battleships after it declared war on me itself? What bonkers calculation does it do to try and work out relative power because unless the two mech infantry it had count for a hell of a lot, it cannot possibly have been classed as stronger. It didn't even build any units despite it taking me about 15 turns to actually get my army over to it.

Having the barbarians target you over other Civs is really, really annoying. In my current game Rome had a barb problem and a Roman settler had a barb horseman one tile away. I was two tiles away with a swordsman and watching gleefully as I was planning on yoinking that settler after the barb got him. The horseman attacked me instead, passing right by the unescorted settler. Not the first time I have seen this either. WTF?

Yeah, the barbarians have unique AI, different to the other civs. They do capture AI civs settlers a lot though. I guess they don't prioritise it over attacking units, or maybe they do focus on the player.

I don't see the sense in having it costed by number of districts, or by era. Creating a district should be pretty cheap and should be available as soon as your civ can conceive of it, since it does very little anyway on its own. The increasingly sophisticated buildings that go there should bear the burden of that cost.

Additionally districts should scale up only by number of districts/buildings in the city. Empire wide malus' needs to die. It's not fun, and you should design your mechanics to be counter snowball instead of using a bludgeon.

Either one is still better than the vague and unstoppable cost inflation via tech progression malus.

I actually thought I was in the Endless Legend thread for a moment, and was going to chime in that yea, the tech costs increasing kinda bugs me as it discourages acquiring niche techs (therefore rendering naval play pointless, good work there Tempest expansion!). Then I realized that this was the civ6 thread. Oh no, you guys have it much worse, so much worse.

Much more elegant in my opinion. This mechanic would be perfect if district bonuses were still stackable/overlapping. It would create an opportunity cost between making a tightly packed, tall super empire and a wide empire well supported by diffuse districts (if balanced correctly). But this global district cost mechanic seems really counterintuitive and logically incoherent without overlapping districts. Tieing district cost to 'number of districts already in city' or something like that makes a lot more sense.

I wonder when we're going to get more DLC. This far out from Civ V's release, they had added 3 additional civilizations, plus made the pre-order bonus civ available for all, so Civ VI is 2 civs behind. Makes me hopeful that they are working on a big balance patch to release alongside the DLC.
