Civilization VI

[DGuller]

What was cool was in a game ysterday my city state ally was able to break up a Mongol assault and then razed one of their cities.  I don't recall seeing that before.  I quickly rushed a settler in to claim the ground.

I think they did that for a while.  If they capture a city, which they can try to do, they will raze it unless it's unrazable.  It's helpful to engineer when you want to get rid of some enemy city, but you don't want to take the diplo hit for razing it.

I've been trying a bunch of different games, one thing I notice is I'm always without strategic resources. Iron, coal, oil, or alumunim, there is never any source within my civilization and I need to try to find some worthless (tundra or desert) tiles to settle to grab a few scraps. It gets annoyiung since I'm always vulnerable.

Tundra and desert squares are great places to build districts and wonders. 

[DGuller]

I often imagine what it's like to live in a Civ 6 city.  You want to see a play in a theater with your wife?  Sure, put your tundra clothing on and take a 500 mile one-way trip to the theater district.  Don't let the smell put you off, it turns out it was built on top of oil back when no one knew what oil was, but that's okay, it's collected as it's seeping out with the same efficiency as if there were a derrick there.

I once had my civilization's first holy site built on top of uranium. That must have been an interesting religion.

[The Brain]

Interesting how?

[Josephus]

Speaking of Civ, I had my first religous victory today. (It's only my third or fouth campaign.)

Religious victory is pretty tough. Lots of whack-a-moling. Oh, I've converted five of eight civs. Now six of eight, now sev...wait, shit, two of them converted back.

Btw, is there a way to go back and see what a tribal village gave you? Too often the notification flies by while the screen is focused elsewhere.

It hink there is a log.

So I took a week off and now returned to the game... or hoped to.
Having trouble launching it. Once the launcher came up and said "No games" or something.
Now it just shows "running" in the interface, but launcher won't even load.

bloody waste of money.

[Darth Wagtaros]

I've noticed some more bugs fromthe latest updates. I had one unit just not get promotions. Fight after fucking fiht, but no promotion.  Plus it'll suddenly just crash.  But I'm trying to enjoy it.

[Darth Wagtaros]

Any good mods to make this more interesting? I never found anything as good as Fall from Heaven

[Josephus]

there's another bug where CIV's are going science mad. Might explain why I came up against robots before I even had musketmen

I keep having trouble playing. In fact, as I write now, I have been playing for less than 10 minutes since 19:00, the rest of my time was devoted to try and find a solution for these constant crash or mod conflict error (when everything worked fine with the same setup on Sunday...)

Nice bbc interview with Sid Meier about games:

And it's the 30th anniversary of Civ 1's release. :gasp:
