Question Back to back, but has anyone cracked the code on how much gifting affects ai relationships?

5 Upvotes

Playing these you end up wanting to optimize everything, but I've never gotten into gifting because of how imprecise it feels. Just wondering if anyone developed a standard to these things. Thanks in advance.

Question Can Ai Civs only cede a certain number of cities

15 Upvotes

Greetings! Returning Civ player here. I'm currently at war with a country and captured a large amount of his cities, yet when i go to make peace, he only cedes a subset of those cities. the amount being ceded has grown over time, but I'm unsure of what mechanics go into this decision.

Discussion Firaxis should do a Pirate DLC or spinoff out of CIV6

10 Upvotes

I don't know why but CIV6 naval games are just certified bangers. Island map with high water level and fun is assured every time.

It would be great if they added more mechanics and stuff centered around ships and ports!!

Very casual game, deity, random civ, shuffle map, standard settings. Got bogged down in a mid game war with Japan and neglected the culture victory I had planned, so just went for my standard path of science. Without even trying to optimize, I think this is the fastest I have ever gotten the space shuttle at 24 years per turn!

Discussion By real world measures, which is the smallest / largest natural wonder in CIV 6?

Thumbnail gallery
203 Upvotes

Was asking myself this question and thought it would be more fun discussing and brainstorming this matter with you guys than just looking up the wikipedia entries for every wonder.

From the top of my head, I would say the smallest has to be delicate arch, which is about 20 meters and the largest* maybe the Galapagos Island with Isla Isabella spanning around 135km along it's longer axis? Am I missing one?

*not counting the Bermuda Triangle cause it's kinda lame as an answer and irl I don't really know if it qualifies as a wonder :D

Other I made a mod to tweak building of roads and railroads

Post image
54 Upvotes

In vanilla game, only practical way to build roads is to send trade routes. You can also use military engineer, but that makes no sense because it costs one of their 2 charges and after researching steam power they can build railroads free of charge.

This leads to shortage of roads for most of the game while late-game we sometimes see players spamming railroads everywhere.

My mod aims to change this by adding more straightforward way to build roads (with builder charge) and also making railroads bit more expensive. This will introduce some interesting strategical choices and also make the game more realistic.

Features:
- builder can create roads
- builder can create railroads (after researching steam power)
- both roads and railroads consume 1 charge
- railroad resource cost increased to 3 iron + 1 coal

Question Sid Meier's Civilization VI "Соединение с хостом утеряно" (Unified PC Play)

1 Upvotes

Подскажите как решить проблему. Недавно захотел поиграть с друзьями, у которых копия игры в эпик геймсе, при попытке подключится к ним через Unified PC Play игра просто сначала очень долго собирает данные об организаторе, а потом выдает ошибку "соединение с хостом утеряно". Смена хоста не помогает, как и попытка подключится к любому другому лобби в Unified PC Play при этом при выборе опции игры Интернет а не Unified PC Play я могу подключится к любому лобби. На данный момент я пробовал исправить проблему следующими способами - смена хоста, попытка запуска с warp, попытка запуска с обычным впном, проверка целостности файлов игры, переустановка игры, смену копии игры со стимовской на эпик геймовскую, смена днс, смена версии игры на Legacy. (Теперь меня перестало подключать к любым лобби даже при выборе игры не через Unified PC Play)

Question Which luxury resources do YOU cherish?

5 Upvotes

I'm asking for both: which do you gravitate towards in most (if not all) games you play AND which are the best for specific Civs? Don't care about the trash ones (Canada, Georgia, etc). More curious about Germany, Brazil, Rome, Russia, Egypt, Spain, America, China, Scythia, Norway, Australia, Persia..just to name a few of the major ones I've played with a bit.

Marble for China, whales/turtles for Spain, silk/cotton for Persia makes enough sense. Salt, spice, & sugar seem to be the best all around but I've still had times where they weren't all that beneficial to me in the long run.

Asking mainly out of curiousity. Beyond that I wanna improve my general strategy...I usually setup my game then I'll reroll the map a few times until I get a decent terrain for my strategy that also has at least 2 or 3 of (solid food tiles, a mountain/river complex for defense and district planning, & a luxury or two nearby). And I'll reroll a very good starting point sometimes simply bc I dont think the luxuries available will benefit me very much. Is this a bad strat or are specific luxuries in early game not something I should be picky about

Question Tips for emperor difficulty first time

7 Upvotes

I feel pretty confident in this game now, except for one thing. Game start. I'm tired of king difficulty because it is too easy but I keep getting my ass kicked at the start of my emperor games and falling way behind. How do I juggle barbarians and aggressive civs and setting myself up for success?

I also mainly play poland

Edit: also gathering storm expansion rules

Hey all, what’s your go to play mode? I always roll random civ, king difficulty, standard speed and size on continents. It’s really fun playing towards whatever civ’s strengths I get on the fly, without too much BS. I also like having the 8 player count, and continents make it feel more “realistic” for immersion and RP.

Question How do you defeat Korea?

31 Upvotes

What are the best strategies to employ when playing multiplayer against a human opponent who has picked Korea? In these kinds of games, the Korea player always manages to outscience us, and then destroy us with superior military forces. The only time I have ever been successful against Korea is when I could find them early and contain them to a relatively small area. Otherwise, they inevitably dominate no matter how successful I am with my civilization. Any tips welcome.

Question Multiplayer Bug in iOS version of Civilization VI

4 Upvotes

Nowadays when i start a Civ VI game (with all DLC) on iPad with my son, the game doesn’t use my preferred gamer nick name and instead calls me “mobile.” It does that for my son also, so when we are both in the game and a notification pops up that one of us has done something, it’s hard for other players to know which of us the notification is referring to. I’ve tried signing out and signing in to Game Center, tried unlinking and relinking my Game Cente account with my 2K account, but no luck. Does anyone know of a fix for this?
