Civilization VI

Those are pretty impressive pics. My cities look like back water venues by comparison.

What is up with all the giant trucks?

You ever heard of Monster Trucks?

Trade caravans.

Winter update is out with lots of balance, quality of life and AI changes. Also, two DLCs: Poland + scenario, and Vikings scenario with some new natural wonders and city-states for the base game. Right now, Poland seems to be massively overpowered with ability to steal land and an excellent UU.

So rather like the modern day place.

Where are the quality of life changes?  Doesn't sound like there is much in the way of that, and still no ledger.

Next Civ: Australia.

So they dropped the Civilization aspect from Civilization?

Stumbling through my first campaign as Gorgo (random pick).

Hoplites are surprisingly weak against Brussels' warriors and Spearmen. I also picked up Hannibal Barca as General, but was surprised he didn't buff my units. Turns out Hoplites are Ancient, not Classical Era, and he only buffs Classical and Medieval.

Outrageous!

The Aborigines would have been a very interesting addition. English Australia is meh.

Did they ever build an AI into the game?

[Josquius]

The game must have sold well in Australia.

I still haven't got this.  Waiting for a sale.

Not really.  Well unless by AI you mean going from friends to attacking by surprise for no apparent reason.

There are plenty of issues with the lack of challenge posed by the AI, but this particular issue I never understood. If you have an AI that supposed to play to win, than "friendship" is temporary, and if they see an angle to backstab you, they should take it.

At the same time, it completely defeats purpose of having any diplomatic actions. Why try to partner up with any Civ if in a few turns it'll turn on you? Not worth the time and resource investment.
