You don't even need copious luxury resources in trade if you're more intentional about where you expand your civilization, which city-states you prioritize, and what Great People you go after.

Based on last Civs' track record, what are the odds that the AIs will be improved in later DLC?

I just started playing Civ6. I have hundreds of hours in 4 and 5. Is it worth getting Rise and Fall? If so, can I wait to see if Steam puts it in sale in a couple weeks, or I should get it now?

Rise and Fall is worth it at full price. Delaying your Rise and Fall purchase until you're ready for the extra stuff is a win-win since the price may be lower by then.

I booted Ulvino from No Korea, but I'm more conflicted about doing so in goon summer, as he's in a position of dominance with fewer human players. Should I do so anyway and continue or should we just scrap the game at this stage?

I was starting to think the same thing about this keeping me busy. I was wondering where my builders kept disappearing to.

Hi Civ thread. Quick question: If I’ve got enough era points to trigger a golden age, is there any benefit to continuing to accumulate them or am I better off waiting until the next era ticks over? How are the era point thresholds calculated?

Winter goon game: I'm gonna be off for 2 weeks from 16-30 June, does anyone want to step in for me? I'm playing as China and I'm currently in the process of eating a slice of Russia, as is everyone else

JeremoudCorbynejad posted:Winter goon game: I'm inclined to just say take the two weeks, enjoy it, and we'll resume when you get back. We're only down to four players, Nubia and Indonesia have been in a game long and crippling slap fight, China and America are both razing through ai Russia. Not sure what the western front is like, but I haven't encountered a single bit of resistance on the east, even since the AI took over (not even shooting me with their walled city?). I'll have two-three cities dropped before you leave, then we really are in the end-game phase of the whole world being owned by 2 civs, with Indonesia and Nubia largely still a mystery to me off in their own corner. But, so long as they continue wasting hammers on whatever beef they have been holding through two Indonesia players, it's you and me really. e: mother fucker, next turn I finish an Entertainment district. This turn, that city shits out 2x Rough Riders on hills. lmao these loving rebels. onesixtwo fucked around with this message at 18:48 on Jun 4, 2018 |

Yeah I'd love to know what's going on with Indonesia and Nubia. They've been at war since about turn 20 and while Nubia's military score has been bottom of the pack for as long as I've been watching it, Indonesia just hasn't quite managed to stick the knife all the way in.

Is there a mod which stops the AI leaders popping up and negging/praising me? I find it annoying when my turn's interrupted by something which doesn't matter.

I think my favorite part of Civ6 is the early to mid game; I love the land grabs, and the goodie huts, and the exploration and barbarians and all of that. Is there anything I can do (with either mods or settings) to get the most out of that phase of the game? As is, I usually drop a game before 1600ce (which I guess is its own answer to disliking the endgame)

End game would be so much better if they increased movement of your units more and made them even more powerful at the end. It should be easier to take over cities, destroy units, and move across the map. Why does Spearman from the Ancient Era have the same movement as Modern AT from the Information Era? It's such a simple fix that would not only level the playing field in the late game, but also make it fun.

My personal pie-in-the-sky idea for a future civ game is to totally mix up the way granularity works. 6 kind of does it with the unpacking of cities, but I think the main beef with how stacking and units work is how big of a deal one tile is. It's kind of nuts that the base unit movement is two tiles and leaves very little room for units to move at different speeds, since one tile is a logistical nightmare and three tiles is a massive boon. If cities took up seven tiles, and the default unit movement was like five tiles, it would make it way easier to have units move at slightly different speeds, and ranged units wouldn't be as ridiculous.

Ships get faster so why did the land units not get the same treatment. Unrelated, but what I miss from Civ1 is that your boats (trireme) could cross oceans right from the start but there was a chance at the last movement turn that your ship got lost in unknown waters. With some luck you could actually discover the new world if the dice rolled in your advantage.

John F Bennett posted:Ships get faster so why did the land units not get the same treatment. Land units do get faster because roads and airports become available. There are no such things on the sea. The other thing to consider is that a turn in the early game is supposed to be several years and in the late game it's a month. Dietrich fucked around with this message at 14:47 on Jun 6, 2018 |

Getting borders opened so your archaeologists can get stuff, having them trek to yet-unsettled-lands that still have barbarians, playing the artifact slot machine, the museum minigame.

The AI doesn't contest the new world as much as you might like, but on higher difficulties they get so much of a lead that they have a chance at it. (Plus, most new world generators leave the old world a bit more cramped, so unless you really bring your early rush game you're probably going to need the extra room in the colonies.

As is, I usually drop a game before 1600ce (which I guess is its own answer to disliking the endgame) Get a mod called Historic Speed or Extended Eras or something like that. The mod name might be different but it replaces standard speed with historic speed. It was updated for R&F so it handles golden/dark ages now. Your mileage may vary on the era pacing overall but it doesn't jack up production times like the normal long speeds like epic and the other one do. So in the Ancient and Classical eras you have a lot more time to build settlers, military units, districts, etc. Play as Korea if you really want to enjoy a noticeable tech gap. I like late game myself but the focus definitely shifts. I felt like the standard speed pushed me through the tech tree much faster than I remembered, so playing on historic let me get the most out of certain units before they're all suddenly upgraded again.

How are people going with achievements? Is there any interest with that sideshow? I'm left with mostly the frustratingly hard ones and random ones like 100th Anniversary.

I'm moderately curious whenever an achievement banner pops up, but I guess I started gaming too early to understand the obsession with achievements. I can sort of understand ones where you earned a victory type, or won with a specific ruler. Random ones, though, or things like a badge for playing multiplayer the first time or completing a tutorial don't really seem like achievements per se. Also, peeps in the Rise & Fall Classical Era game, just realized recently that pins can be to specific players instead of either self or all. Consider my response pins charitably in that light. Or not, the mighty Japanese kingdom pins as it pleases.

MAH CHEEVOS I don't get it either, but it must feel like a right chore for those OCD players who just have to get 100%. If it's actually somehow fun for someone then fair enough, but to me it's like the most pointless poo poo ever. Games used to unlock new stuff for achieving something, but stream cheevos do literally nothing except +1 to a database

Well in slight defence of MAH CHEEVES figuring out how to do some can teach you stuff about the game you may not otherwise have learned.

The "finish the tutorial" or "win your first game" or "beat the first boss" style of achievements are effectively metrics for developers, can be helpful in figuring out if people actually stick with the game or just abandon it after a certain point.

I like achievements because it tracks what you've done - so I know which Civs I've not finished the game as - and shows you possibilities. The last one is more for RPGs but it means I know that (for example) there's four factions I can finish Pillars of Eternity 2 with. That sort of thing.

Crazy to think last played Civ 5 maybe 5 years ago, and my laptop could barely handle the requirements then, but now I've bought Civ 6 to play it on the same laptop, only streaming it through Nvidia instead of playing it from the PC hard drive. I'm on their streaming beta so it's free for now, hopefully they don't decide to withdraw it any time soon!
