Civilization VI

[mongers]

Glad I didn't get this in the end, seems rather weak sauce.

Thinking of going back to playing some Civ IV. :gasp:

Thinking about it a bit...Yes. Nubia is a very weird choice.
If they were wanting some more Africans for balance why not go for Ethiopia or Axum.

But America and Australia annoy me more.

The US has been there in every single Civ. Have you been holding this annoyance since 1991?

I actually like this more than V. I enjoy the game mechanics more. Remember that V had several expansions. It was pretty shit when it first came out. Actually, so was IV.

Why? Not meaning to be glib, but try to sell the game to me. TO me, as a peaceful/culture player, the AI randomness is breaking the game.

The V and IV were flawed when they came out, but they weren't, for lack of a better word, tedious.  Somehow VI managed to break the "one more turn..." spell that was intrinsic to all Civ games before it, good or bad.

I don't see the AI as that random - haven't really played with the very latest patch though.

I don't think it is random but as he mentioned earlier the note actually knowing the reason they are annoyed is more fun in theory than in actual practice.

The AI is no more random than in previous Civ games. In V, for example, it is pretty much impossible to keep anyone friendly for a long period of time, if you are doing well.

And I certainly played the shit out of VI when it came out, one more turn and all...

[DGuller]

I just checked my Steam stats.  I played VI for a grand total of 67 hours.    I played V for, oh shit, what the fuck am I doing with my life?

[Grey Fox]

Playing Civilization, obviously.

[Solmyr]

At this point, I have 131 hours in VI and 684 hours in V. But most of the latter I played only after I had all the expansions. So there's definitely potential for VI to get up there.

Yes.

[Solmyr]

There's a typo in a XML file that has been messing up AI priorities, causing them to overvalue faith production. This is pretty bigtime: https://www.pcgamer.com/typos-in-a-civilization-6-data-file-are-messing-with-the-ais-priorities/

The article has link to a mod that fixes this, until Firaxis do it themselves.

Really, there should be an Anglo-American civilization. A thousand years from now the UK, US, Canada, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand of the 17th-21st centuries will not seem anymore different than the Greek states and their colonies of the 6-2nd centuries BC.
