After suffering a surprise attack early on that nearly took my second city, I took the last civ on my landmass literally 1 turn before I met one of the 4 unknown civs from the other areas. Yay for sneaking by with no warmongering history. I razed a few cities that I felt were in bad spots or to close to other cities, so it would have been bad.

Also Modbuddy won't work unless you download 27 gigs of assets and point it to that folder. So they made it take 27 more gigs of space to mod if you want to use their tools that don't add anything.

I really want to make a custom civ too. I have the coding ability, just not the knowledge to navigate what they do.

I like a lot of the stuff with the newer civs but they seriously keep in this trend of giving newer additions good but OP abilities (when compared to the original cast). They should just make each civ more powerful as they are with Australia.

There are some that feel kinda weak (India's never stuck out as partially strong to me) but Australia doesn't seem particularly overpowered and no one seems diminished by them. My last game was as Russia and they're still the beasts for religious and tourism victories they've always been. Those Lavras poo poo out both religion and great writer/artist points like crazy. As for the mod tools it's really a shame that both V and VI are such a massive step backwards from IV's "Yeah, everything is loving moddable from the beginning. Just reach into that code and mix things around." Heck, Firaxis even got it right as recent as XCOM 2.

Why is the Aztec civ dlc showing as installed, enabled and everything except for having Aztecs in the game. I didn't buy anything for it, but it says I have it anyway?

It's a civ that previously was only available to those who pre-ordered. Two months after release it was unlocked for everyone.

Aztec DLC is free since January I think; they were a pre-order exclusive for three months after release then were available to everyone. You not having them in-game is weird, though. Not sure what's up with that.

It's hilarious to me that Australia's bonuses revolve around having massive food output and extra housing, allowing really tall cities, yet in reality we're a country known for having a tiny population spread out over a vast continent. (And a major hot button political topic is how ridiculously unaffordable it is to buy a house here)

Not so much against players, but at least the intorduction of walls doesn't spell the effective end of AI conquest. Also the diplomacy seems a bit more reasonable. AIs are more likely to either be your friends or hate you forever, one or the other. You'll actually get DoFs and Alliances semi-regularly (and alliances now share maps which is awesome). You'll still get the occasional crazy dude (I'm looking you Harald, who only cares how many boats I have).

Someone needs to find the release manager at Firaxis and beat them with a stick until they start coordinating releases with their partners. Y'know, like every other company can manage to do.

I really, really hope there is a proper revolution mechanic in the next expansion. Moving the happiness from global to local is a good set up for such a thing since the region the resistance comes from won't be a die roll.

There is no reason another aspect of the game can't be a revolution/espionage system that is far more robust.

My own experience following the patch is that the AI does seem to be more willing to make friends now and as long as the warmonger penalties are acquired early on they'll decay fairly quickly.

What was one of the first twenty uploads to the brand new Workshop: of course, Hitler. I don't know why but it never fails to amuse me that for each new Civ game and workshop it's like a loving worldwide race to see who can get a Hitler civ up and going first. I see one of the first entries was a new religion too: Kekism!

Why is there not a Restart option yet that rerolls map generation, like Civ 5 had? On top of that, why can't I save my advanced create-game options? They reset to default every time.

Then download this mod, and note that you have to overwrite a file in the Civ 6 folder and not place it in the normal mod directory. *May not be updated yet for this latest patch, so I'm not 100% sure if it still works. Also the answer to every QoL issue with Civ 6 is answered by googling Civ 6 thing you want and hoping someone made a mod for it, because Firaxis doesn't have to care since we keep giving them money anyways.

The trouble I see from the tech boosting in a team. So, it gives you the boost if your teammate does it. Not the instatech like older civs. However, this now encourages the team to always go for a different tech. If every teammate is not studying a different tech, it is a wasted effort. Make sense? Or am I fundamentally misunderstanding?

I think my question is, does a teammate researching a tech count as an Eureka or a separate boost? If the latter, then yes, it's worth researching different techs.

Is there an option to disable the hex/terrain tool tip pop-ups? They are frequently popping up and obscuring the notification tabs on the right side of the interface. I have the tooltip settings turned to 2 seconds which is the max bit that doesn't appear to do anything.

I have the tooltip settings turned to 2 seconds which is the max bit that doesn't appear to do anything. There's weird delays on everything, really. The notification tabs are very very fiddly about whether or not they'll show the expanded tooltip when you hover on them. And there's really no reason that hovering on them should also trigger terrain popups -- the notification tabs should be 'opaque' to the cursor. I'm still annoyed that leader screens have s l o w fade-ins for the buttons, and that half the exchanges you get load an animation, then fade out and fade another animation in, THEN finally fade in the buttons. It's so unnecessarily slow.
