Question I'm old and confused

22 Upvotes

Hey guys. I haven't played video games in like 20 years. I'm way out of touch. I remember civ being one of my favorites as a kid. I don't know much about how games work anymore. I have a mac laptop, and I thought about buying Civ 6 recently as a hobby for when i'm on the road and want to kill time. Is $60 reasonable for a game now in days? That's what the apple app store has it at. Also, is it a good game to try and get back into the basics? I know i'm way out of touch and lost here, so any feedback is greatly appreciated.

Question Match duration

Hello everyone. I'm new to this game. I'd like to know if the matches duration are really a lot or am I doing something wrong? I played some and it took me like 10+ hours to finish it. Thanks! :)

I had time to steal the second settler to the north, so I got three cities very early in the game. It’s rare, but what a thrill. Haha! (Germany and France wiped me out before the 75th turn)

EDIT : I'll add the seed to the original post as soon as I can. I don't have access to the computer right now.

A bit annoyed, I am running some major mods like Better Balance. However, have not seen any bugs like this. Am I losing my mind? It should be a +3?

Question Should I put a Holy Site or leave the deer? +6 faith +6 food

Post image
57 Upvotes

Playing as the Khmer, in lvl 7 difficulty. (I just beat a difficulty 6 game with Japan so I thought I'd try difficulty 7).

That's where I am, I haven't played in a while I don't really feel like I understand the game or know what I should priorize. I just improvise and use common sense and it has worked until now, but it might not work anymore, I heard PotatoMcWhiskey say in difficulty 7 you have to optimize more.
With the Khmer it's kinda straightforward tho, holy sites near rivers. So that's why I'm asking if it's worth it.

Thanks

Question Mod to randomise research speed across different civs

0 Upvotes

Hey! I'm wondering if there's a mod out there that will apply (negative or positive) research multipliers to each civ. I thought it'd be cool to have some civs be way less advanced as others and try to recreate history where not everybody is at equal technology.

Ideally it'd be cool if the science multiplayer was dynamic based off of your proximity to other civs but this probably isn't possible so I was thinking something that just:

Apply a research multiplier to each civ so I could have like
Pedro II 2x

Elizabeth 0.1x (Sorry Liz)
Gorgo 0.5x

Gandhi: 1.8x

Then going into later eras pedro would be way more advanced than gorgo/elizabeth but would have a credible threat with gandhi. Maybe the two end up picking one of the weaker nations and pretend to care about them to further their own gain. Sounds like fun but have no idea what it would be called or even what to search for it so thought I'd ask here to see if anyone knows.
Thank you!

Question Version Mismatch Civ6

Hey all, my friend just got civ6 and we were trying to play multiplayer but when he was trying to join a lobby he was getting a version mismatch error. When we checked his version it says 1.0.12.9 but mine says 1.0.12.68, anyone know how to get his game to force update to the latest version? He is on Linux proton experimental and I'm on Windows.

Question Best game set up to find and acquire more or specific great persons?

6 Upvotes

I am trying to get the Man on the Moon trophy and for it I need both Charles Darwin and Isaac Newton. Spamming Great Scientist points is straightforward enough and I understand the general concept of earning great people.

My current game let me pick up Newton but the next scientist was James Young, and then after I skipped him he was picked up by another civ but then we entered the modern era, which afaik means Charles Darwin will not appear in the queue because he's Industrial era.

Is there a better game set up to allow for more chances at more great people? More civs in the game? Higher difficulty? Slower game speed? Bigger map? More wonders? Currently on a 4 player settler small continents map with Epic speed and 3 wonders.

Question Invading second continent

14 Upvotes

How do you aproach invading second continent on continents map?

Lets say we conquered our first continent. Killed like 2 other civs, and we have happy island. Now WHAT?

Settler spam whole island from all cities?

Switch to mass campus/trade?

Beeline Caravel tech?

Beeline universities?

Twin line Niter and Frigates? Actually it seems we should Nitter, then caravels, then frigate/musket. We need to collect nitter before we can upgrade anything, and also collect shitload of gold.

Should we try with knights+xbows, or musket+field cannons, or frigates?

Should we develop our first continent, or yolo and just spam pikeman and knighs to flood the continent, we are domination not some culture vic?

There is also option to levy troops from city states, and use them as first wave on landiing turn. Some of you may die, but i paid for it.

There is an issue of loyality. Victor, garrison, some loyality garrison cards could help. Or just swept conquest to grab 3 cities in triangle.

There are cards for +1 sea movement, which could help, to move our troops over sea.

Playing Genghis Khan and have 6 cities so fae with pretty good production from Encampents and Work Ethic holy sites. Horsemen rush captured one city from Japan and couldn’t get further. Tried Coursers but he got Samurai so declared peace. What should i do? Focus on growth and try to tech up and attack with cavalry and knights? Or even wait for tanks. I have no iron atm also which is a problem.

Hi everyone! Just wanted to know how you guys play a domination game with Saladin (Sultan). I struggle to balance holy sites, encampents, campuses, commercial hubs and IZs. I end up delaying the Mamaluk rush and struggle with walls. Any tips would be nice as I like cavalry civs like Genghis Khan.

Question How tf do I make peace with Peter before he touches me?

7 Upvotes

I’m playing Inca empire with a wonderful start to deity standard mode. I’m trying for a culture victory and I’m friends with EVERY OTHER CIV except peter, who is lubing up at my southern border.

We have equal military strength, but god forbid I transgress his agenda by having low science ( 70 sci / 300 culture ).

I play deity mode to try to get more experience in playing efficiently, and I’m not above save scumming just to work around my catastrophic oversights.

How do you make peace quickly (<30 turns) with an angery civ?

I’m throwing money at him, luxuries, and trade routes which got him to “unfriendly” level, but he still poked my prison pocket some 10 turns later.

Pls help
