My wife made me a civ themed birthday cake. She gets me. 🥳

just a simple question where should i settle

my bad the tooltip is covering some of the map theres just forest and plains there

I wonder if the cities will keep their antiquity names, or they'll get updated automatically during era transitions? They gave any info on this yet?

I've noticed that when they announce new leaders they don't mention their empires (i.e, they annonced Xerxes, not Xerxes of the Achaemenid/Persian Empire)

So, kinda dumb question maybe but, let's say I pick Cleopatra, will I start as Egypt in the Ancient Era and from that on I will be able to make a non-historical path? Or will I be able to play with Cleopatra as the Mississippians?

So I was playing Greece in civ 5 gunning for a diplo victory, I had a whole bunch of city states as my friends, but then Egypt attacked one, I couldn’t fight directly but I could give units, and so I did. I donated units Whenever I could, I gave Gatling guns, riflemen, but the fun part is, these aren’t my units, other militaristic city states gave these units to me and I gave them to the beleaguered city-state, it kinda felt like they were using me as a proxy instead of the other way around. but now that I’m thinking about it it was more like the free world (I had freedom, he has autocracy) coming together to defend a vulnerable nations, this has been the first time in my hundreds of hours in civ 5 where donating units to a city state actually prevented it from being wiped out.

now I just need to free the vatican from hun control

Hi. Is there any way to check for late-game crashing of a mod build in Civ V? When I try a new mod build, I have to eyeball it, but because crashing occurs late in the game, I lose a lot of hours. Any help appreciatedl.

I was thinking the most modern US president I could ever see them considering being Reagan, but as he's still very controversial (for good reason imo) so they probably wouldn't, but I'd still say he's historically relevant enough to justify it.

Ofc the problem is the more contemporary a leader, the more passionate their detractors will be.

But if they were do add a 20th century president they haven't done before (sorry FDR), who do you think they'd pick?

Had CivBE been released in a universe without SMAC, it would have been an excellent game, especially with the Rising Tide. But it faced a Transcend level competitor - one of the greatest 4X games of all time with a unique sci-fi setting, amazing plot and atmosphere.

*** In the darkness, something goes >pop< ***

CivBE was a good effort, there were some nice ideas and I remember sleepless nights playing it.

But it was underbaked. If felt bland. It did not have a soul.

The aliens were meh (except the worms and kraken, they were cool). But nothing compares with the sheer terror of a Demon Boil of Locusts of Chiron appearing near your base. Suddenly your String Disruptor Stasis Generator Singularity Engine Gravship with Antigrav Struts is no longer safe.

The leaders were underdeveloped. Lady Deirdre Skye, Prokhor Zakharov, Sister Miriam Godwinson, Pravin Lal, Colonel Corazón Santiago, Chairman Yang, Nwabudike Morgan - they carved their names into your memories like those locusts borrowing into the brains of unlucky defenders. Now, what were the names of CivBE leaders again?

The units. One of the coolest things about SMAC was the unit constructor. Want a submarine probe on a singularity engine - there you go. CivBE had some cool units, but we wanted the freedom to create them ourselves.

The wonders. Honestly, one of my biggest disappointments. I don't remember a single one I build, they all felt generic. Now, about the Secret Projects.. I will only say "We must dissent", and the video for The Self-Aware Colony immediately awakes in your memory. The Dream Twister still gives me chill.

Weapons, atrocities and diplomacy. Nerve gas. Planet busters. Really, wth, why couldn't you give us something similar? PB was the ultimate weapon, which came at a prohibitive price, but it felt amazing.

Overall, while I enjoyed CivBE and spent a couple hundred of hours in it, what we really need is a SMAC remaster or a true successor.

I've tried messing about with difficulty settings but it doesn't seem to work. I'm pretty decent at the game and tend to have double the score of my friends by like turn 60 or 70. Is there any way to give them a boost or me a handicap? Usually we play 6 player, 2 or 3 AI's depending how many of us there are.

I'm fairly new to the series and have been trying out both CIV V and VI and have found that I much prefer V. Is this the general consensus or am I missing something?

Now that we know that in Civ 7 leaders no longer need to be political, military, monarchs, etc., this opens up a range of possibilities for new leaders for Brazil, since they can now be scientists, artists, thinkers, diplomats and no longer be limited to the figure of Dom Pedro II. The question remains: which historical figure would you like to see as the leader of Brazil?

I don't know if this is a known strat but isnt it great ?
Varangian gives easy early game adjacency harbour, that I can double with level 2 Reyna, of which I retrieve science with golden age. I think +16 gold and +16 science at turn 33 is quite good no ?
Also, I have founded a religion but did not find anything that could boost this early.

I'm playing Vietnam in Civ VI. And there are a lot of mountains around my area which make it easy to defend but incredibly hard to grow because I can't build farm so the population is stagnating at 7. How would you guys deal with this situation?

Shouldn't it be more (+1 per 2 coast tiles)?

Hey guys has anyone had this? Since updating Civ 6 on my ps5, every time I turn it on it goes to the cog spinning screen and then freezes. I’ve tried uninstalling and then downloading again but it just still won’t work.

I have no idea what to do to fix and it’s so frustrating. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks everyone

any help??

Hello everyone!
Playing 6 people multiplayer without mods - how to stop players from getting shafted on start? :D
What do I mean - we are using abundant resources, balanced start position, other world seeting are set on default. Every game one or two of us gets ridiculously bad spawns, for example nation without any spawn bias gets thrown between the desert and bunch of 1/1 tiles, does not sound very fun!

I am a fan of history and have enjoyed finding the historical references in civ games but I am having a lot of trouble finding any answers for what the Shawnee attributes mean? So does anyone have the translations for the Shawnee attributes? I heard Tecumseh means "All our Relations" and the civ ability seems to be about the Ohio River Valley based from the Shawnee stream, and Civfanatics discussions also may have found the origin of the building and military unit, but the rest is unknown for me. Does anyone know the rest (civics and traditions) any help appreciated.

We've decided it's time to figure out who the real G.O.A.T. of CivPlayers League is.

Lol I've saw a lot of posts with the same question. But none had the right answer for my situation. This is coast adjacent to a harbor. I can't figure this out. I'd hate to remove the seals. I bought that tile special for Colossus.
