That's... a very good way of putting it, actually. Which Firaxis game was it that pushed out a "QoL" update that did literally nothing except break mods and change the launcher to shove more ads at people? Was it also civ6?

The "normies" most goons look down don't give a gently caress about mods, they'll look at the thing, see if they're interested in a run, do so or don't instead of staring in horror as FOMO cripples their brains

well like most games. the best way to get a culture victory for the event is take away nearly every city the ai's have via war. the game is only on 4 (prince?) so they don't build an army for poo poo. so much land to take tho.

I've been trying not to do this, but isn't conquering a civ or two just kind of cruise control for cool when it comes to any win condition in 6? When an AI declares was on me I actively try not to conquer them (it's hard, as the war weariness mechanics make captured cities a devastatingly effective sponge for the homeland happiness) because then I have a civ-conquering army sitting around doing nothing and twice as many cities as anyone else. Moreso than the older games I feel like I need to strongly self-regulate for the game to remain challenging. E: Before anyone mentions Diplomatic Victory, that's the name of a checkbox to uncheck in the game options and nothing more, since I already have the achievements related to it. I don't think that the "guess what the AI will vote for then also vote for that" World Council is any good at all. Shit Fuckasaurus fucked around with this message at 02:18 on Nov 17, 2023 |

the rules are all screwy. i did have to build tons of entertainment but the normal city flipping loyalty does not happen. i just burned all the civs down to like 1-3 cities for each of them. and ya war pretty much solves all problems in civ

Culture victories are one of the easiest wins, and most people who don't know how to play (obviously on King difficulty or lower) will eventually stumble into culture victories just by playing long enough and building wonders.

I'm trying to play the monthly game linked above, and I was able to conquer a couple of Vietnam's cities alright but I'm running into the issue where now I can't keep them because of loyalty so I think I may have failed The game is a pretty good start though, you get horses, iron, some good luxuries, a bunch of 3 and 4 adjacency campuses, etc. But I'm so behind in science while I rushed an army since the stated goal was domination or religious and I'm sure as gently caress not doing religious, I dunno how I'm gonna catch up and conquer everyone else especially across continents, which is insanely annoying

The answer is probably bombers, tragically. Cross-continent warfare absolutely sucks.

Well I might have to restart anyway to keep in the spirit of the challenge which is not to reload any turns (but I don't see anything wrong with starting over from scratch) We'll see how bad I hosed myself by using a lot of resources capturing cities that I don't think I can hold

What happens as far as domination if you raze the capital? I was in the end able to keep it, but I don't think I caught up in science enough to win this game if it has to be domination, I might start over but I dunno

That concept of the game of the month thing is neat tho because now that I failed at it I'm interested in like "how did other people do this" I hadn't played as Abe before and I chose to try and swordsman/battering ram rush to try and take over Vietnam, thinking that once I got industrial zones I would use those powered up melee units along with the siege units I already had to keep rolling on to the next guy, but I got bogged down trying to actually keep the Vietnamese cities and then by the time I finished securely taking over Vietnam, I thought I could also take some city states to shore up my loyalty pressure before moving to Byzantium, but then I got an emergency declared on me over the city state and by then Byzantium was coming at me with artillery and it took me forever to defend it and I'm like 7 or 8 techs behind which may be too much to overcome, I dunno. I do have a really good production base though, I got a +5 industrial zone and Ruhr Valley in Washington and a bunch of other industrial zones everywhere else. If I pumped out bombers really hard maybe I could still do it, I'm trying to beeline them now.

Oh yea, someone please explain how Ruhr valley is so good? On paper it looks like something ultra-niche, taking forever to break even in terms of industry, so it's regulated to a something like pre-building in a city for when a space project unlocks. Like, a "normal" city with five mines and a preexisting +20% industry would take fourty-five turns until breakeven, which is hot junk. If you did something like totally terraform a city in preparation of Ruhr, and had 20 mines, the math is much better and it pays for itself in 3 turns but... do people do that? That's a shitton of builder charges to burn prepping for a wonder, which might be optimal multiplayer play but I really don't play that.

Serephina posted:Oh yea, someone please explain how Ruhr valley is so good? +1 Production to Mines and Quarries is very nice when you have a city in the Tundra Hills where that's about all you can build, but for most civs Ruhr Valley is going to be about the +20% Production more than anything. A high-adjacency Industrial Zone (with Dams, Aqueducts, and Canals at +2.5 each, as they get the district adjacency as well) can easily hit +6 with a little planning on top of the upgrade benefits. As long as you're not Brazil, the best way I've found to use Ruhr Valley is actually in an undeveloped city in a hill-dense rainforest with ideally a couple lakes and a well-placed Industrial Zone, regardless of if you've developed the adjacencies. Place Ruhr, then start choppin' hill rainforests to get it out quick. Continue choppin' hill rainforests (which will receive 20% additional production) to build up the adjacencies for the Industrial Zone, then infill with Mines and Quarries. Apologize to God and your citizens for your -7 Appeal ratings, then build whatever you want at easily twice the pace of any of your other cities. Behind Rainforest and Regularforest Hills, you can also drop a city in the barren Tundra Hills specifically for Ruhr, but you need to do it ahead of unlocking Ruhr itself because that'll be a slow-growth city. The only part that sucks about Ruhr is that the AI will not only beeline it, but also build it in a city with poor production output and no hills like an idiot. Ruhr can be the most powerful Wonder in the game if you plan ahead.

I went ahead and beat the monthly scenario. It was easy and pretty chill, but also kinda boring without all the bells and whistles that the DLC has added to the game. It was neat to play the vanilla version, if just to see the difference. No barbarians and being on a separate island meant that I didn't build a single military unit, and used builders to scout. I spent the first half of the game expanding onto my own island, and then onto a few others for the luxuries, and then pivoted to spamming seaside resorts, which let me win about 20 turns after I started building them. I wanted to make a bunch of national parks, but the vanilla naturalists are so expensive (and I didn't have a religion) that I was only able to make one park the whole game. There's also a great location for a Chicken Pizza city, which gave me phenomenal culture, which eventually turned into tourism.

I don't think that the "guess what the AI will vote for then also vote for that" World Council is any good at all. i was thinking about this. diplo can already be beaten by knowing how the AI votes because that whole system shows the stupidity of the AI even worse than combat. also for the first third of the game or so you can buy all/up to 20 diplo favor from each civ for 1 gold, making it impossible for them to vote for anything more than once. so for the cost of like an early game trade route, you can guarantee a diplo victory it's there any way to salvage that system? are there mods that try? or if not, are there any that just remove it entirely?
