Civilization VI

[Josephus]

Seeing this thread, I decided to reinstall the game from Steam, and give it another go.  I lasted 40 minutes before I got bored.  "Please, no more turns..."

I've found I restarted often. Resource limitations make sense for game mechanics, but if I have no domestic iron or horses I may as well stop playing. Same later on when I have 3 oil and 12 coal.  I'll get steam rollered.

You could go for a non-domination victory I suppose. I don't know. I'm pretty new to CIV VI. Last I played was CIV III.

Really?

I'd give Civ IV a go in preference to VI.

I think the pretty universally held opinion is that Civ 3 is the worst game of the franchise.  The culture mechanics that pretty much force you to Holodomor every foreign city you conquered is probably the most awful mechanic I ever came across in a major game. 

Civ 6 has to be the second-worst, though, just on account of intense apathy that it inspires.  Turning a classic "one more turn" game into a chore required some pretty serious chain of misjudgments in the game design.

I'm coming close to 800 hours played in Civ 6 (have 684 in 5), so it must have done something right.

Civ II was the best with the FMV Elvis.

If you like playing Civ 6, good for you.  I'm not going to judge you for your poor taste in games, even if it's obviously warranted in this case.

I heard Guller plays Fortnight.

Conquer the holy city of that religion from him?

And then what happens?

I took the holy city. I own it now. But it still shows him as converting three civz and is one more away from winning.  Or should I have destroyed it?

[Solmyr]

Don't think that will do anything as long as he still has holy sites of his religion to create apostles/missionaries. You either need to destroy all those, or just conquer him completely.

[Zanza]

According to my Steam stats, I played Civ VI three times as much as Civ V (more than 400h versus 150h for Civ V). I guess I played Civ II and IV more though.

[Syt]

I have about 120 in both V and VI (which surprised me - maybe I left VI on in the background while doing something else?), and I definitely have more finished games in V.

I do have 57 achievements in V, vs 32 in VI.

[frunk]

I played a ton of the first, a tiny bit of II, none of III, quite a bit of IV, 128 hours of V (there were some good mods) and 22 hours of VI.  71 and 7 for achievements on V and VI.

[DGuller]

I gave the game another go.  At some point I realized that my negotiation screen is completely broken, I can't offer or demand anything, including peace.  Is Johan still working for Paradox?

[DGuller]

Oh, turns out I had Concise UI mod on, I had no idea I had any mods running.  Still, the stupid game should've gave me some indications I had mods running.
