Oh be like me and get the World Congress vote for immigration to pop up and make one of your neighbors get +pop growth and -5 loyalty a turn in all cities.  One of the meanest things you can get as Eleanor, especially when mixed with spies knocking out any governors they're using to prop up their falling loyalty.

Yes that's absolutely hilarious when it happens and you pull it off. Also she makes the diplomat governor a good early choice.

Beyond Earth actually owns and i genuinely hope a sequel is in the works synthesizing what they learned from 6 with the writing from BE1.

I'd like a pony too, but after seeing the progression from V->BE->6 I can see a pattern on where their priorities lie.

been trying out a mod that gives every AI the aggressive agenda's of other civs (hates neighbours, nuke-happy, ignore warmongering..). It's called Aggressive AI Overhaul. It's almost too much! Everyone wants to fight their closest neighbours all the time. Just like real life! It's pretty interesting to watch.

Great game overall to play while doing something else. I wish they'd do something about the AI's passive-aggressive agenda though. Having to reject tribute demands/lovely deals every 5 or so turns makes things extra repetitive. At least I don't have to see those "Oh, you were friends with that CS I just robbed blind?" messages from Civ 5. Oh, and I suck so I find AI to be enough of a challenge to me on Prince. Mostly because they have strategic resources I don't. They have yet to take a city from me by force but they don't have to. They just use horses to gently caress my infrastructure

Considering how many bonuses the AI get on higher difficulties, does it make any difference if you run pillage campaigns on an enemy? Rather than take their cities, just burning down all their infrastructure? Or does it not matter when they get free stuff dropped on them constantly?

I'm never sure if constant pillaging causes grievances, but it's often better to leave their cities and just make loadsa money off their improvements.

When I'm at war I generally do a fair amount of pillaging unless I've already got like 10,000 gold banked. I don't pillage campuses, industrial zones, or commercial hubs unless I know I can't/won't capture the city they belong to. Because repairing them takes an exorbitant number of turns.

Can you guys help clarify adjacency bonuses a bit? I'm wondering if it's worth going out of my way to get an extra +1 bonus on a district when building. Like taking down a mine tile to get an extra +1 science on a campus. Given the fact that district buildings end up dwarfing that initial bonus fairly quickly. I'm wondering if the initial bonus is multiplied out or compounded beyond the policy cards that add 100% adjacency later in the game. Is there some mechanic that makes that initial bonus a fundamentally important figure?

What I don't bother worrying too much about is commercial hub adjacency. You'll usually get +2 or 0 and I often choose a 0 because I'd rather have a triangle farm in a given spot for midgame.

Oh, I see, great point. I just looked up the Rationalism type cards and it looks like aside from the standard 100% overall district bonus, it yields another 50% if the adjacency is at least 3 AND pop > 10. (The wiki said 3, maybe it's 4?) So going from a +2 to +3 is very important sacrifice everything to do it, but a +1 to 2 jump not so much I guess. That's a pretty important spike.

Not directly about current district discussion, but here are a couple informative guides by PotatoMcWhiskey: How to get 40% off Districts and How to get +50 production from Industrial Zones.

Wow, Civ6 for consoles will cost a whopping 110 bucks at launch. Or you could just pay 60 for the vanilla version. I was thinking about picking it up for PS4 but I guess I'll stay with the pc version for now. I'd miss my mods too much probably anyway.

Generally speaking, I'd rather take a harbor than a commercial hub anyway, given the choice. Unless I have a really good adjacency bonus, or I'm one of the civs that really benefits from having a comm. hub (Poland, I think a couple others?) it's harder to give up a workable land tile than it is a coastal tile. Since the main benefit of either one is gold + the trade route, and you can't get stack the trade routes, it's an easy decision. Of course I'm bad at the game so that's probably wrong, but oh well.

Hello Thread! So I only played a few games of vanilla a few months after release, and linked videos above seem to imply that Industrial Zones are less junk now. Is it worth installing to play Vanilla again, or would the things that drove me up a wall (District price scaling, Ineffectual AI) make me regret reinstalling? I'd go play Civ5 but I think I've beaten that horse well enough.

And docks don’t unlock the Siphon Funds mission so you can have a city be a trade hub without permanently tying up a spy to keep the AI from stealing all your gold.

I was thinking today: Ive played more than a dozen of Civ 6 games so far, in prince, king and emperor, and I never seem the AI use bombers. And bombers are by far the most effective unit against cities on the game (and strong against units too) I mean, the AI is not only bad at using its units, its really bad at choosing them too. Like in most wars I defended against, they strike with usually too much cavalry & melee units and too few ranged and bombard units I think the AI could get a lot more dangerous just by putting more weight on the types of units there are really effective for an invasion, instead of seemingly picking them at random

It's a big problem in a game where every playstyle comes down to "fight them or let them win".

They do occasionally build fighters to protect themselves though.

 I did built some fighters on one of my first Civ 6 games, but then I realized it wanst necessary, since the AI will never use bombers

PLEASE tell me someone here holds the arcane and forgotten knowledge of HOW TO RUN MULTIPLAYER CIV4 WITH MODS. Joining through steamworks reboots the game and unloads the mod before joining the lobby. Direct IP doesn't work because I'm on a sub network.

Competitive Civ players have a fair amount of AIDS due to memorizing the optimal research and tech paths that aren't apparent from regular gameplay so I'll pass. I just like playing high fantasy civ with friends.
