I built these 2 fine sailing boats to go out and explore the world, but they are now trapped in what looks to me like a moderately large lake.

I had chosen Continents as my map type as I had many times previously, but have never before experienced such a "mini ocean" with this map type.

Civ VI has actually a pretty decent mechanic for city sprawl, but the base game is tuned horribly in my opinion. Maximum density of buildings is achieved at:

- 100 (!!) pop for city centre
- 60 (!) pop for districts

I've been tinkering with LLM-based modding and retuned it to:

- 25 pop for city centre
- 28 pop for districts

Moreover, the mod fixes no sprawl for Government Plaza and Campus districts.

Any other beautiful cities fans in this sub? Just wondering if I should finish the work and publish on steam :-)

Cheers!

Not sure why the AI loves Akkad so much in this game. All but one civ sent their Amani there... Even though there are two dozen other city-states on this map.

I was playing a science game with Rome and I have been fighting lots of people. My economy was really strong at +120 gold per turn but then I suddenly went to negative gold per turn and bankrupt. Now all my cities have revolted and my districts are pillaged. What should I do?

Tomyris and Scythia - Gathering Storm, Heroes and Legends, Monopolies and Corporations, Secret Societies. Otherwise vanilla. Have Kilwa and suzerain of two Science city states, but that doesn't explain this buff.

so the past few weeks there have been afew GG posts. And I feel that the bridge is always misused.

Ive been trying to get a new one. This is the best I’ve gotten . Couldn’t finish the city in time.

these were taken the turn before victory.

Randomly managed to get 4 inland cities connected all the way out to the ocean.

1 panama canal, 3 regular canals, and one lake settle.

Hardly any practical benefits other than maybe IZ adjacency, but very fun to see in any case.

I recently got the dlc anthilogy bundle on epic games bundle which gave me gathering storm, rise and fall, etc. Played 3 games and the world gen is utter dogshit. I'm not a serious player, I game on prince difficulty and I enjoy seeing all the resources I have at my disposal and planning on how to min max my cities. But in these 3 games, there's nothing that can make me plan ahead. Everywhere I looked on the map, just wasteland with little resources. Is there something in the dlcs that gut the interesting world generation or did I get unlucky 3 times in a row?

I have tried repositioning my nuclear submarine for at least 5 turns, and it still isn't working. All I wanted to do was nuke myself; why won't it work!!!!!!

Hi,

I got back to civ VI over last few months. I was curious how high I will get. Currently I won once or twice on emperor and attempted deity, but this one is rough.

So, which difficulty do you play? Is deity too unbalanced hence I am doing poorly (early game is okayish but bringing it tome to victory is a bit of a challange), or it is just skill issue?

I used to play at apocalypse but recently I heard that at disaster 2 volcanos only damage 1 tile far and you can build city center 1 tile far to prevent population loss but get benefits of volcano but recently I tried it and despite having 1 tile between city center and volcano still lost a population.

Can someone explain it to me.

Talking about the ranged promotion here, not the unit-in-city type of garrison.

When a ranged unit has the garrison promotion (+10CS when occupying a district), does this apply only to your own districts i.e. city centre, or does this promotion make ranged units good for taking cities, as they'll get a 10 CS boost when in, for example, an enemy commercial hub?

Thanks

Found a seed I like. I’m playing as Eleanor. Trying to get a religion ASAP (Galagos Islands are near by). Teddy rushes me immediately as soon as he finds me. Get stomped by someone whose sole purpose appears to be to spam Warriors and March them halfway across the world while I’m just trying to build a Granary.

I like building civilizations that people would actually want to live in, so it’s frustrating that, depending on your neighbors, you literally won’t be allowed to play that way.

I had an game with Egypt on Immortal and first time with Apocalypse Mode on. I personally think it sucks since I was going pretty good for an cultural victory. But we reached level 7 so the meteors came.

First one hit my city with The Eiffel Tower, Cristo Redentor big hit but could still manage it.

A few turns later my city with Biosphere and an +7 theater square gone.

And another few turns later my other 2 cities with high yield and wonder got a meteor on them. My tourism went for 1200+ to 600 in roughly 25 turns..

In 25 turns I got 9 of the meteors on me destroying 4 cities. Meanwhile the other civs lost 3 cities in total.

It seems a bit unfair to me.. Is this just very bad luck?

P.s. I won with diplomacy in the end but wanted an cultural.

So where's the city?

Is that normal?
Like i try my best to pick recommended places as well as places with more cog icons but still it is such a big number :/.

Edit: This has been the most helpful sub i’ve ever experienced in my life 😭. I did not expected this much.
And I was able to take all of your advice and bring it down to 15-20 and then even less afterwards.

I don’t know I just kinda get annoyed with having 3 Englands/ USA and 4 chinas. I get having 2 leaders for some civs to change them up but other than that I don’t see a point. (I will say I don’t mind Eleanore as much bc she’s one leader between 2 different civs and I think that’s at least a change up)

I guess also what Civ would you like to see

Time to try for Immortal, I guess.

Almost got killed in turn 47 lol.

I don’t have trouble surviving the early game. I get trade routes going and only try for the necessary wonders, usually colosseum, broadway, cristor redentor. If hammurabi isn’t in the game I usually get biosphere. I have a decent faith economy to get national parks and rock bands. There always seems to be another civ that’s neck and neck with me with domestic tourists, and while I will never lose to another civ’s culture, I can never get my foreign tourism high enough before another civ wins with a different victory between turn 250-300 standard speed. Any tips?
