TipTow posted:I will join this evening when I get home and baby is put to bed. You can actually join right from work, just from a web browser. The initial signup at the PYDT site doesn't require the game - you need to link your Steam account, though. Basically, I just need all players to sign up for the game first before I create the save in-game and start sending it around. As for the DLC, it's all handled automatically, no need to turn anything on and off.

You do have to have Steam running already in order for the plugin to work as advertised though  and you have to hand-create a Hotseat directory, since one doesn't natively exist

MooselanderII posted:How's the combat AI in the game now that there have been a few new patches? Is it still a Sim Civilization builder game? I just had Persia and Australia declare a Joint War on me, while moving escorted settlers towards my territory. With a little scout support, I captured both and now my position isn't looking half as lovely. I really am thankful they declared war on me, otherwise I would have suffered horribly trapped in my little territory sandwiched between mountain and ocean.

I'd like to get the PBEM running in about 12 hours tops. We're missing a player but I think we've waited long enough. Roland Jones, please get in so that I can start it. I'll reduce the player count. Thanks for your patience, everyone.

So resuming my first game of Civ6 after playing Andromeda, and I see the AI is what it's always been in this series. Australia keeps declaring war on me, suing for peace after I sink his navy and take a city, then fifteen turns later declaring war on me again.

So apparently, if Poland captures a city with an encampment, the below can happen? I'm talking about Frankfurt.

I don't think it's so much a bug as I read the code related to city captures is really wonky. Like, "destroys the city and rebuilds it, building by building, district by district" wonky. If you think that's weird, I also saw on Civfanatics that whenever you even begin to construct a Wonder in a conquered city when playing as Alex, you get the map-wide full heal. Not when you complete the Wonder. When you start building it.

Please calm down, John Curtin. I'm only occupying your cities because you declared war on me so I took your stuff in exchange. I did nothing to threaten you aside from be nearby, technologically advanced, and in possession of a strong military - that last mainly because Peter is also nearby and has been an rear end in a top hat from the stone age on.

I just learned that other civs are now happy to trade their great works to me for a few luxury or strategic resources, which means I can gradually accumulate as many as I need without having to buy the great people myself. In the game I just played I could afford to trade away pretty much all of my resources all the time (I was isolated and had lots of wonder amenities) but I suppose that won't always be the case. I assume I could have also made a huge trade and then declared war to cancel my side of it, which is a classic civ tactic that they seem to have tried to remove from the game (no more trading gold for GPT).

Yeah, it does seem like they're a bit too eager to give up their great works. On the other hand I'm not sure I'd ever get a Great Work in a game with civs like Russia and Brazil at higher difficulties otherwise.

They don't seem very willing to do a 1:1 trade for luxuries either. I'll be damned if I"m going to trade 3:1, or 1 lux and some absurd gpt price.

I like using my spies to steal great works even though it feels like I should be using them for gold all the time. I do like how the mechanics of stealing a great work undetected play out when you think about it : "Breaking News! Monet's Water Lilies stolen from the Aachen Museum by persons unknown!" "In unrelated news, join us tomorrow for our coverage of the grand opening of the Pasargadae Museum of Art, featuring Monet's Water Lilies."

Alex's ability to heal when taking a city with a wonder is as scary as I thought. I played as Alex and started next to France. Decided not to attack them until mid game when they had 8 cities and wonders in 4 of them. I was invincible.

Wacky Delly posted:I know right? If you don't keep his cities, he'll never learn. Won my first game. Was playing as France on a large map, won a science victory, and out of nine rivals only two never declared war on me - Poland kinda hated me but kept trading with me all game, and Sumeria thought I was hilarious and was a bro all game long. Egypt, America, and Brazil all declared war once. Kongo, Germany, and Russia declared war a few times. France was at war with Australia for more of recorded history than not, and Australia started it every time. Seriously, John. You declare war on me, I get your stuff. That's how this works. Also Toowoomba is a stupid name for a city and I did the world a favor renaming it Marseilles since I owned it for a few hundred years.

Dragonrah posted:I get that every time now too. A problem from the patch, maybe? I think I've been running into this every time I've played since the patch. Also, is it just me or is the AI a hell of a lot more bloodthirsty in this game? Both games so far, I've repeatedly had half the world declare war on me in the span of two turns. Gilgamesh is a bro, at least.

The thing with the game occasionally freezing when quitting has been there since release for me, though it doesn't freeze my computer (I can ctrl+alt+delete shutdown the Civ application). The patch has introduced a thing where turns sometime take a long time, even early in the game. Seems to have to do with the barbarian turns, the game also freezes for a few seconds for me at times when doing stuff like changing policies. The patches have improved the AI a bit. Since the latest patch, the most notable thing I've noticed is that the AI used ranged units quite competently a few times which made overpowering it quite a bit harder. That said, it still needs a *lot* of work. Naval and airborne warfare is still a complete mystery to the AI it seems which makes the game so easy at times. It just can't defend against it, at all. Also, since the last patch the AI has declared joint wars on me a lot more, *especially* in later eras. But... the times it has happened there is no military fielded against me. They just declare the war and nothing happens.

Pretty much since release I get a crash notification for the program when quitting to desktop about 50% of the time, but since I was closing it down anyway it doesn't matter, and seems to have no knock-on effect. I'd guess its now affecting you as well, but brings down the whole pc instead. I know this info doesn't help.....

After a long session (multiple hours) I have to restart my PC. Not because of a hard-lock, but because everything on it runs very slowly after playing CIV. Things like +10 seconds to open up the right click menu on my desktop. I check my processes but nothing regarding the game is there. It feels like a memory leak but it's not.

I can CAD just fine, but then I can't actually bring up the task menu because the screen is stuck on Civ and right-clicking the Civ icon on the bottom taskbar and clicking close window doesn't work. It's a shame since I'm enjoying the game and it otherwise runs fine, but I don't want to play a game that can reliably crash my computer whenever I want to exit.

The space race victory was better back in Civ 1. I think then (if i remember correctly) you had to build X number of components and could launch early with a specific number of turns to win but could still lose if someone else launched later with more thrusters. I think. Now it's just 'who can be bothered to build 3 space ports and ideally grind a great engineer".

I don't have a problem bringing up the Task Manager, it's that the background screen thing is still Civ. I can see the task bar at the bottom of the screen and that's it. I can't actually get at the Task Manager window or interact with it.

On the other hand, this utterly homicidal AI must make life grand if you're playing as Australia.
