Fister Roboto posted:One thing I really hope for this game is that diplomacy messages don't just randomly pop up and take over your entire screen. That annoys the poo poo out of me in Civ 5. Why can't it just be an alert along with all your other alerts that you can either respond to or ignore? Especially since most AI diplomacy messages are inane bullshit like "tee hee your friends are my friends too" or "you built a city too close to the city that i built right next to your capital, rear end in a top hat" Honestly, with the exception of a declaration of war, all diplomatic messages should just be alerts. For the 100th time; I'm not giving any of you fuckers open borders so you can settle a city in the middle of my country on the god drat worthless tundra spot.

Away all Goats posted:Wait, someone actually liked the way religion was implemented in civ5? Even now after all the expansions and patches it feels like an after thought to me. I still find it extremely dumb that beliefs are exclusive. Someone took the useful ones? Sell all your shrines and ignore it forever. Especially against the AI that just spams missionaries and blanket the world with them. Honestly what I want them to do with religion probably wouldn't work very well with how they want Civ to be.

I think we're all missing the big picture here, and that big picture is will Civ VI have a proper borderless window option?

Auto unit cycling is extremely annoying. No game I don't want you to go half way across the map and select my settler while I'm in the middle of a god drat war. Oh look now my archer is moving away.

Zopotantor posted:Has anybody tried the feature that lets you levy units from a city state? Is it worth the effort? Sure it is, why should I send my own soldiers into the nuclear wastelands? I'd much rather send these warriors that the city state has kept around while I'm laying waste to cities with nukes. I wasn't paying attention and Teddy was launching things into space, but I couldn't have that happening while the divine religion of Crabs had still not spread across the entire world. So I nuked him, like 20 times, and then I used the nearest city state I had control of to capture the cities (and die to fallout).

JetsGuy posted:It wouldn't matter because the AI would just cheat and your warmonger penalty would just go up. Warmonger penalties are pointless, since the AI will hate you anyways. And you should always completely wipe out a Civ because they continue to make the AI messages completely annoying. Has anyone made a mod yet to put denouncements and the other dumb messages in the bottom right notification area where they should have been by default?

turboraton posted:Ok guys almost a month has passed, let's be honest here. If ALL civs hate you for any reason you are just being bad. At least TWO cigs should be friendly to you in a six or more player game and more if you actually try. The only civ that has consistently been approving of me (as long as I don't go conquering everyone) was Rome, because they like civs with huuuuuge tracks of land. Though in my religious victory game Norway went from gently caress you to best buds and I have no idea why.

prefect posted:My religion-choosing strategy: Screw all you filthy heathens, Crabs is the one true religion! We must spread Crabs everywhere! Also speaking of bad combat AI, has anyone ever had the AI actually use a ranged unit inside a city to defend itself? Like I could take an archer + 2 warriors to stop healing and the AI never uses the archer it has inside its own drat city to attack me.

Pistol_Pete posted:If they have walls they'll use the in-built defenses to attack you. They seem to have some common-sense, too: they'll fire at the catapults pounding their wall to bits, rather than some random warrior that you've just bought along to make up the numbers. I know they use walls to defend themselves, but that is about it. Doing a culture victory game and I just got a warning that Germany is about to win a culture victory. They're producing 19 tourism and 16.6 culture per turn, but game seems to think that they're dominating everyone else. For comparison I have 710 tourism & 234.9 culture per turn.

Is there a quiet notification mod for VI yet? I never cared that the AI approved/disapproved of my actions, it isn't changing what I'm going to do. Honestly all AI interactions should be a button that I can right click away, because no China I'm not making peace if you don't give me all the cities I took from you stop asking me every 5 god drat turns. Of course Civ VI likes to make it even worse than V by having every god drat interaction take too long. If they want to waste money on pointless poo poo then waste it on a throne room and not stupid animated leaders.

JetsGuy posted:Really a great thing civ should add is disputed land and claimed land. The cultural borders poo poo can still exist as "undisputed" or whatever. It would make for a cool experience but I'm sure the AI would gently caress it up. Except knowing Firaxis it would end up being that all AI civs claim the entire world from turn 1 and hate you forever for stealing their land.

SKULL.GIF posted:Why is there not a Restart option yet that rerolls map generation, like Civ 5 had? Do you want a restart button like in civ 5? Then download this mod, and note that you have to overwrite a file in the Civ 6 folder and not place it in the normal mod directory. *May not be updated yet for this latest patch, so I'm not 100% sure if it still works. Also the answer to every QoL issue with Civ 6 is answered by googling Civ 6 thing you want and hoping someone made a mod for it, because Firaxis doesn't have to care since we keep giving them money anyways.

Magil Zeal posted:I've generally been in favor of Civ VI's development so far, but I can safely say that the new mechanics that seem to be the selling point for this expansion aren't really resonating with me very much. Never been a fan of "%-based chance" stuff on any sort of major scale (sure, maybe a dab of it in relatively minor features like espionage, but aside from that), and I've never liked natural disasters in Civ games. I never saw much strategy in "X% chance your poo poo gets blown up". But, I'll withhold any definitive judgment until I see fully just how interactive the mechanics are. You know how we can get a better specialized city mechanic? Use Colonization's mechanics! Have everything be actual tradeable resources, so you can have a city that is just all food production with others being focused on other things. Yeah I know, this is never going to happen. Yeah I'm looking at this xpac and going, great more features the AI won't be able to deal with so it won't have to. Maguoob fucked around with this message at 23:58 on Nov 20, 2018 |

Arrrthritis posted:you guys mean to tell me they made two expansions for this game and no improvements to the AI? Didn't Firaxis say they wanted the AI to play to win the game in Civ 5 and 6? In 4 you could have actual alliances with AIs that wouldn't immediately back stab you if you got too far ahead. This makes it even worse that the AI is horrendous. I sometimes wonder if Civ 6's AI is also a performance problem because it must move every unit it has on every turn and tries to get as many units as possible. The issue with an AI that "plays to win" is you either have to design a good AI or design a game that an AI can more easily play, Civ 5 and 6 did neither of these things and 6 made it even worse with districts and housing. The easy solution would be to ditch their entire religion system (the AI over indexes on it) and remove ranged attacks as a concept. We know the AI does not use ranged attacks effectively and can't even use aircraft effectively. Keep the 1UPT in concept, but not in practice, by allowing you to make combined armies (e.g. Warrior + Slinger) with techs to let you make larger armies. Aircraft would be a multiplier on battles fought in their operation range, so bombers would reduce defense if you fight in range and fighers would reduce the effectiveness of bombers and other fighters. The nuclear weapon issue is bad from a game play perspective too, because it shows the AI's complete inability to use a tool. Nuking the same city, that it can not even take, 6 times in a row is just bad. This also flies against the trying to win goal. In Civ nukes aren't even all that terrible of weapons, you already kill millions when you invade a city without nukes and fallout is only an extremely temporary issue. Trying to bring real world issues with nukes when saying the AI's use of them (or lack thereof) is a bad comparison. If I could get an updated Civ 4 with QoL improvements I'd rather play that than 5 or 6. I really don't expect them to fix anything when they release Civ 7, because the average player doesn't care that the AI is unable to play the game.

MH Knights posted:Didn't realize at first how quickly you needed to be to trigger the exploit but I have it down now. Is there a way to force your turn to end? Like even it you have units that can move/act/are stacked in your city? I think it was Shift+Enter to force end your turn.

Chad Sexington posted:Maybe identity is the wrong word, but with Civ 6 there is a lot of strategy about which district you place where and why, making each city very much their own thing. Trying to maximize your adjacency bonuses, especially for your initial core, makes for a fun challenge. I too find Montezuma much easier to deal with when I ask him to be my friend... via a letter, delivered by many nuclear weapons because I don’t want it to be lost.

Serephina posted:I've not played any Civ6 for a while now, and something about that screenshot was bothering me. Just looking at all the pretty yeild icons made me yearn for a game, but something about the minimap and the city placement on the world was wrong, and I couldn't quite put my finger on it. Maybe something that Rise&Fall or Gathering Storm added? ...It took me at least 30 seconds of staring before I realized what an idiot I am. Don’t worry, give it enough time and you’ll instantly be able to see how absolutely disgusting images like this are. The Pretty Border Faction disapproves of such monstrosity. I’ve played enough Civ to instantly recognize it, but the lack of districts and a worker unit are also a big hint. Thinking about districts, I would like to see it done with a “bigger” map. That is, in civ vi split each hex into 6 smaller hexes but still have the cities themselves take up the original space. Districts (and units) would then only use one of the smaller hexes.

Dpulex posted:It's baffling that someone, a professional who was paid money and understands the game, thought this would be a well balanced and reasonable addition. I really have to question that part of your statement. Half the time I'm not even sure the developers even play the game, see how long it took to add a production queue. Or the annoyance that is the AI pestering you with pointless statements or worthless trade deals in full screen.
