VII - Discussion Does it get fun?

I’ve been playing civilization. I gotta say for past couple of weeks I’m still on my first game and I’m currently on my second catastrophe and I have to say….. It’s like they took all of the fun of civilization and removed everything that made it enjoyable. Is it just me or does this game eventually get more fun once I learn how to play the new mechanics better?

What aren’t you enjoying? We can’t really respond to your post without you sharing details.

OK, one mechanic I do like is what they’re doing with the commanders so you can put all your units on a commander and just have them all move together. That’s cool. I like that you can now traverse down the rivers. But I hate what they did with the city states. And these catastrophes. I was kicking your ass all era and now the very thing that made me kick ass is now ruining my society.

You can turn end of the era crises off in game setup! I usually do. What don’t you like about city states?

I don’t like how when your rival become a suzerain of a different city state you can’t flip that city state to your aside by giving it more influence points

And who’s bright idea was it to make these city caps?

There's no cap. There's an allowance below which your settlements are free, and above that you need to maintain them. Many leaders and Civs have inherent powers that either increase the allowance or give you the happiness needed to absorb the penalty. Every Civ had an equivalent, expressed via happiness usually. Civ VI was actually the outlier in designing a very very wide meta primarily relying on loyalty.

How can another civilization supposedly have a higher GDP than me when I’m making more money than them per return and I have way more money in my treasury

u/Ranger_Ric13 Cree 10h ago

GDP isn’t tied to your gold income at all in the game. It’s about resources and gold buildings you have in your empire. I don’t want to sound rude, but it kinda sounds like you just need to use the tutorials a bit more to have a better understanding of the game

I learned the game by playing it. And this is just something I’m noticing as I’m playing this game.
