I've been paying just shy of 0 attention to this game since I didn't want to get overhyped... ... and I've been rewarded, because the game is coming out in 10 days and I had no idea!  Tell me everything guys, I'm so excited

iFriend posted:Sorry if this has been asked before. Can any of you recommend a free AUS VPN for unlocking early? I think I used VyprVPN the last time I did an early unlock? Seemed to work fine. I've only ever bothered to unlock one or two games early. Civ6 fits the bill

Does anyone know if a city has to be built directly on the coast for it to be a coastal city, or is one tile away sufficient? For that matter, is there even such a thing as a 'coastal city', or is the only thing that matters where the city's buildable hexes are located?

 What the hell are those 'Star' adjacency markers for? Do you actually get some bonus for being adjacent to other districts/the city center? For actual production bonuses, it shows +ind/+sci/+gold, but what is this unmarked star bonus? For reference, this is an Industrial Zone being placed

LightWarden posted:Star marks a district boundary. Most districts get a +1 to yields if placed next to two other districts, though Japan gives a +1 to per adjacent district. This only applies to things that actually output gold/culture/science/faith, so you don't get much on your encampments, for example. City center counts as a district for this purpose. Thanks, I noticed I was getting +1 industry for being next to... the Campus??? poo poo makes no sense. Another question, does anyone know what causes the actual cost of buildings/districts to rise? Like all districts are 60 production to build, but at the point I'm at, some of them are 251 production, and some are 335, and I have no idea why. I assumed part of it was advancing eras, but that doesn't explain why campus/entertainment/theater/industrial are more expensive than holy/encampment/harbor right now.

LightWarden posted:You were getting +1 Industry for being next to the Campus and Aquaduct, so a +1 for adjacent to two districts. Thanks, this explains a great deal. I was wondering what (if any) the penalties were for going wide, and other than happiness I didn't spot anything. The Civlopedia was really blank on production cost stuff, it's probably in there in the district section somewhere. Need a phone friendly version so I can do some toilet reading on it

The lack of hotkey bindings is baffling  No movement keys, hardbound to arrows, no Yield button, but 1-6 are conveniently bound to... map lenses? Yay?

Jay Rust posted:I would have to echo the concerns about production being too low and being unable to keep up with science and civics. 30 turns for a monument in a new city is pretty absurd. It feels like the hammer cost for everything should be like a whole 50% less I ran into this, two things that I didn't know: 1) District cost (and buildings? not sure) rises as you build more in your empire. This is a penalty for going super wide if you're building up your cities and try to add another relatively late. and more importantly 2) Adjacency bonuses for your Industrial Zones are really important. You get +prod for adjacent mines, quarries, and 2x other districts. So if possible, place your IZ next to 3+ mines/quarries. I didn't do this on my first game and was wondering why everything started to take forever to build once I was past the early eras.

I wonder if lowering any range unit with a range >1 would help the combat AI at all. It loving sucks at dealing with archers in any era.

Civ6 is a well made game that has given me two of the most boring games of Civ I've played in a long, long time. My very first game on King, I start on a continent with England and Arabia. After fending off early era attacks from both of them with the superior strategy of 'a ranged unit on a hill facing a huge outnumbering force', England was my buddy forever, and Arabia was ineffectual and did nothing. I cruised out into the lead scientifically and stayed there all game, eventually quitting in boredom because holy poo poo did you see how long it takes to build spaceship parts if you didn't make a donut of industry with your cities that you wouldn't know to make in your first game? Second game, I play as China, intending to build All The Old Wonders and... do just that. Because there was no one else on my continent. I kept clicking next turn out of morbid curiosity, and eventually met them all jammed on another continent, but I was at a point where I could crush them all beneath my Venetian naval fleet of modern destroyers while they faffed about with medieval/ren era units. I'm not entirely sure this is Civ's fault, exactly, but jeeze, those were not interesting games or stories.

I'm mildly shocked they didn't steal Endless Legend's take on armies and hex combat. It has a brilliant system where when two armies meet, they 'expand' into their full size and the actual terrain nearby is used as the battlefield. It neatly solves the massive swarms of dorks covering every hex for a mile, and still lets you have a mini hex wargame battle instead of doom stacks smooshing into each other.

The White Dragon posted:I always found Endless Legend's combat to be extremely cumbersome. I can understand its appeal, but how often do you actually manually engage in EL? Most of the time you click auto-resolve, right? It's cool the first dozen times or in the very beginning of the game where micromanaging your units' orders can actually decide a battle, but after that it's like, oh god just get it over with. The single army-spread into map system is the part I like, EL's units are a mess of 10 different tooltip-obscured abilities in a mishmash along with a totally inappropriate rpg style equipment system that's cumbersome in a 4x, and the actual combat is a strange plan-and-execute mix. The main thing is it solves the problem of large army movement with 1upt, and makes it correspondingly easier for the AI to move forces around (something it royally loving sucks at with 1upt clusters). Megazver posted:"One of the things that Brian and I talked about back when he was working, was taking the battles and putting them onto a separate map and fighting them out in a minigame mode. We looked at that and it really added to the complexity, without adding much value. " It's not a separate screen, that's why I like it so much. AoW3 has a separate tactical map and is a good fun game, but it's a different approach. EL drops the army battle right there on the same terrain you're playing everything else on, so you can still take advantage of chokepoints/forts/cities/useful defensive terrain etc, but the transition is fast and seamless. (I think most 4x combat in general is pretty jank, because power disparity often means the outcome of a war is already decided before it even begins, even if you ignore the frequent deficiency of AI tactical ability, but that's neither here nor there :P)

I think the AI has been lovely for decades but more people are finally veteran enough to notice it on a more regular basis  And judging by steam victory %s, the vast majority of players are still crappy enough that they don't know, don't care, or have plenty of fun in spite of that.

Millennia also experiments with alternate, much earlier victory conditions (literally victory ages, if you're running away with the game you can attempt to end it early by going for and succeeding at one of them)
