It never shows anybody playing how do I play it with someone?

For me it’s that the ai is completely useless with air units. Doesn’t matter how far behind I fall in any category. Eventually I’ll get bombers and then just steamroll over the ai. Current game the emperor ai was building spaceports in the 1800s. But got a few bombers and now they don’t exist anymore.

If there was a real threat of the ai also sending 3-4 bombers at a city and rolling in unopposed things would be quite different.

I have been playing Frederick/the Germans on King and have been getting a lot of starts where either the geography turned out to be too constrained (too many mountain ranges cutting off too many directions, or too much desert, like that) to get a reasonable number of cities on the ground by the end of the Classical era. I'm playing 100 turns and then saying f*** this.

I had been hoping to get a win with Germany's district bonus, Divine Spark and a religion with World Religion, getting lots of campuses on the ground and letting the culture boost from religion help move up the civics tree with not so many theater squares. In my most recent game I made the error of attempting that on a start that looked good as a place to build Petra. Places that are good to build Petra are not very good places for capitols. Not enough production/growth early enough: you won't build Petra for a long time, if at all, and in the meanwhile you don't manage any growth.

Probably I should try something completely different, like Russia, rolling starts until I get one with tundra, and going from there with the tundra pantheon and adjacency-bonus follower belief.

New to CIV. Are they all effectively the same? I know you have to theme them and some buildings can hold certain works while others can't, but other than that, they are all the same bonus to tourism? I guess I'm curious if a renaissance Great Artist and an Information Great Artist are any different. And would there be any reason to pass one up? Thanks!

I feel like the conventional wisdom on this is "Choral Music if you can get it, or Feed the World after that, or then meh" but like with pantheon choice, those choices only benefit cities with Holy Sites and at a scale that doesn't matter much later in the game.

I'm thinking Zen Meditation is much under-rated in the discussions I've seen about this: who doesn't sometimes need another amenity, and what city doesn't have 2 districts sooner or later?

I'm just now looking at Work Ethic and it seems to have gotten a buff from what I remember in vanilla. That's another benefit that applies to every city, and the bigger the city, the bigger the benefit. Makes it pay to run an Inquisition though.

Warrior Monks I should probably try at some point just to see what it can do. Jesuit Education feels like a dud because by the time you have enough Faith to go buying buildings with it you probably already built up the districts. Reliquaries is very niche and a gamble that you will have some way of getting a decent number of relics. Divine Inspiration, also very niche if you plan to build lots of Wonders.

I was playing Civ last night and I decided to go for a domination victory 90% of the way through the game. Then after I won I was surprised as fuck that I got the domination victory achievement. I would have thought it would have been the first one I earned,. It seemed too easy. I guess I typically focus on other types of victories, especially science.

This is the screenshot

Starting 2 days ago I get this error no matter what lobby I join. I have uninstall/reinstalled, verified file integrity, flushed dns, checked my internet. Not sure what it could be. Ive also dropped and readded mods. Still nothing

I’ve sent over 10 spies to pillage improvements and steal tech in other cities but they all get captured/killed even if the chances are basically minuscule after gaining sources in cities. (2-9% chance)

Recently got back into civ 6 (base game) so far have spent 120+ hours and won on every victory apart from culture (prince difficulty i know, I will get slagged for that) first play through of a culture path to glory only managed to get to turn 50 and somehow lost (don’t ask me probably a glitch now that I think about it) playing as France so then decided to go for a domination vic by turn 250 had won (Aztec’s, I know sue me) so back to square one as France was thinking about paying as Persia (from what I know they should be second to best if not better than France to have a cult vic) might have waffled abit but I have built and traded and bought G.P or buildings or policies that would relate to culture score/tourism gain (if that makes sense)

Long story short any pointers to a cult win, feel free to ridicule as I probably would be judging

Is there a description someplace of what fraction of a Spy's time is spent "establishing" in a new city?

I'm trying to decide which promotion is better, Disguise or Linguist. I just has a Spy killed and am going to be raising a new one in the end game, with access to Non-State Actors. I'm thinking my optimum Master Spy has Rocket Science, Ace Driver, and something to speed up mission throughput.

I am currently in love with the combo:

• Pick Mansa Musa (Mali), which Focus heavily on Gold, and try to got as much money as much as soon as possible.

• Then pick the Governor Reyna, the Financier, and beeline for her 4th promoted, which allows you to buy District directly with money.

• Lastly, rotating Reyna around your own cities and bought every District as soon as the city’s population allow for it, in which even as soon as the turn 5th from when the city got created.

That is my currently favorite combo, which is not too much overpowering and still allow some competition with the AIs, what about you guys? Do you guys have your own favorite one?

Edit: forgot to add. I am playing the Storm DLC without any mod at all.

Rule 5: Made it to 63 era score in the first era (see bottom right corner). I have never gotten it that high before in the first era. It's a bit insane. And I didn't even build a Seowon yet, either.

At some point during the late stages of all my games, the yield improvement values will stop showing up next to the available Builder action in the improvements palate when I am about to act upon a hex tile:

Normally you'd see \"+\" next to whatever yields this improvement effects.

The exception is clearing a hex tile:

The yield value for bulldozing a tile still remains.

I have mods installed including the fix for the immense game hanging delays to Builders and Military Engineers. I admit I haven't played a vanilla (mod-free) game to this late in the play, but the only mods I use are UI and report improvements. (I don't use any map and gameplay mods.)

Has anyone seen this before and know the cause and/or if a fix exists?

My civ game encyclopedia has this error on all the entries, was it a mod that caused it? How do I reset it? I listed the mods I use as well

Felt confident to play on King (as Victoria) my culture was low so was stuck in Monarchy for longer than I hoped, but got a bonus for Totalitarianism so decided to go Fascism and go for a Domination victory.

I handily beat the 1st Civ (Brazil) but Egypt and Persia have planes - and are using them!

I have one fighter built and have it deployed but it doesn't protect even if they attack in the "green" area of where the fighter is deployed.

How do I counter when the Civs fly now?

I'm very close to entering a dark age (to get a heroic later)

And i have have a great merchant that gets generated next turn and screws up my plan

Is there a way to temporarily disable a commercial hub and stop generating great merchant points?

I've been playing Civ6 for a month now, and after playing through several games in successive difficulties, I get why the game is popular—but am I wrong in wondering where the romance options are?

I mean, what even is a modern game without sexy time? Even console tile-based strategy games, such as Final Fantasy Tactics, contained a hint of romance in their subplots. But Civ6 has somehow assumed that I don't want to cuddle with Cleopatra.

Think about it. You're conquering some Bronze-Age bodies, surrounded with half-naked, fit people—and somehow you're not going want to do some biological research? With some "adjacency bonuses" from that bathhouse wonder-thingy?

I thought these games were supposed to be a "sim" of sorts. And guess what happens in the Sims? You get down in every room in the house. I know I did.

In Civ 7, I want to get to know those leaders in a more diplomatic light.

Don't you think I want to get grinded by Gorgo? Suck on some Seondeok? Have a dirty agreement with Dido?

I want to tease Tamar's ***ties.
Get wet with Wilhemina.

Got daddy issues, ladies? Get ravished by Daddy Roosevelt.
Want to get gripped by Gilgamesh? Get your Sumerian supper.
Heck, shake up some Shaka while you're at it.

Just in case, ya know, the devs are listening.

I am up late from a work crisis and i played some civ to relax. I just got back in after stopping out of frustration. I always had small cities and got few great people. I watched all kinds of videos and it just addled my brain.

Then as I was looking critically at my cities, I realized that i keep forgetting to build a building/unit and my city gets distracted and doesn't get the chance to be a powerhouse.

I'm planning out my next game and to help me sleep I start thinking what my build order should be. As I thought, I realized a calculation i saw as part of a different answer "3 houses make a district"

So, to get 3 houses, you need 6 farms. That's 2 byilders.

But we can't make builders too soon, so first some military, like a cout and a slinger to add to our warrior...wait.

A generic build order. Unit, unit. Building/district/wonder

Just loop around that for each city and I won't forget to build something in a city that I want. I'm planning out a bunch of turns so my city can grow and build while I'm away looking at other cities or pushing units.

I'm gonna try it next game, but what am I missing?
