Playing on immortal and they're close neighbours. Basically, Russia will help me stave off the imminent victory of Georgia for 158 gold coins per year. If I pay i bet theyll do a lot of nothing.
Does anyone know it crashes the game still? Just deciding to buy it or not and can't find any recent reviews or people talking about it.
How's your Yongle experience. I'm feeling very Yongled and I'm kind of liking it.
Me and my friends are planning a Civ 5 LAN game sometime soon like we used to do in high school, and one thing about my friends is they always turtle. Most are not particularly advanced at the game, although we all have a lot of hours in it for the most part. I have on friend who is borderline a professional in Civ 5 and almost always wins.
We ban all victories but Domination, Science, and Culture.
I am a more nefarious man, and while I could probably win by turtling and going for science, I do like to try my hand at stirring the pot because the game is frankly quite boring when everyone is ignoring the multiplayer aspect of the game... so I often times start wars.
Now, usually I have to wait a reasonably long time to do so, like Industrial Era or later, once I have nuclear weapons. I don't love doing this though. The last game we had over a year ago I spawned on my own continent, settled 3 or 4 cities, and then colonized by settling a city near one of my friends. Unfortunately, his capital was like 15 pop in the renaissance and though I had a massive invasion force I was only able to raze the surrounding lands before the invasion was beaten back and I had to make peace, with both of us being worse off than before.
I would like to try to start maybe one or two earlier wars in the game without sinking my whole game, if possible. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to do this?
I just discovered this game and it looks right down my alley. Which Civ should I get?
Hey all, here's what I've tried:
-Made sure to have a 2k account
-Made sure to restart game after linking it
-Tried unlinking, relinking, restarting
-Tried saving a new game file instead of cloud saving old ones
-Checked Windows Firewall to make sure all Civ6 versions were allowed over public and private networks
What's my next step?
I cannot ever remember seeing this before so I thought I would share
Could I use the Panama canal to connect from my city center to this lake (as it says it can connect two tiles) then connect a third canal where the last pin is to get into the open ocean?
I have been reading some papers and blogposts on the topic of culture and the relationship with technological advancements, and a common example of why x civilization didn’t get this certain technology before collapsing, and the answer is complex but cultural compatibility/demand is a key aspect. The researchers go into why Rome didn’t industrialize in one example, and I listed some links if anyone is curious.
So my main point is does it make sense that in Civ you technically don’t need culture to advance along the tech tree?
I think every game struggles with this, and I get it is a complicated topic, but culture or more abstract conditions should be implemented to advance in major eras (which unlocks techs onwards), such as the bronze age, industrial revolution, information age, etc.

I’m on an isolated peninsula and have a chance to really set up my cities well, but I need some help with city placement if anyone wants to share their thoughts. Thanks!
Hey guys - trying to figure out why i can't canal into the coast from Batavia. I have so many hours on this game but this has me stumped :'(
I’m curious what you think is a good settling spot. Any advice would be appreciated. Leader is Korea so please try to keep seowon in mind.
Do you think Greeks are a good civilization and do you have a strategy with they please (I am a noob)
I know about CPL and CWC but I haven't seen any short-term 1v1 tournaments where you can compete against other civ players to win a prize. So what I'm trying to understand is, first, are there any tournaments where everyone can compete outside of the CPL community?
And secondly, if it doesn't exist, are people interested in participating in these kinds of tournuments?
I put the realist earth map, in early game I defeated Victory from England, and Barbarossa from German, then Cleopatra, Pericles, and Pedro from Russia was disturbing me with his religion so I defeated him too, and then I convert everyone in my religion (Zoroastrianism) with Congo, Gilgamesh, Roosevelt, Tomyris.
Do you think it was easy? I would prefer conquer every civilization.
I have a few mods subscribed to, mostly cosmetic and ui mods, and when I load up a saved game that I played with them enabled, some of them don't work. I tried every combination of enabling and disabling them after restarting the game, and nothing seems to work. Some posts online I've seen say it has something to do with the mods updating but I don't know how that works. How do I fix this? Thank you!
