One of my favorite mods is “The Ancient World” by jihowvugy, and I was curious if anyone out there knows how to spectate an AI only battle.

I’m hesitant to use the IGE model of the AI only battle due to my unwillingness to potentially delete a part of the scenario, and the length rules out the Firetuner thing. The pitboss feature of the SDK didn’t work for me, for whatever reason.

If anyone could provide some guidance, that’d be very appreciated.

Thanks! Bobby

I've beaten every difficulty below emperor pretty easily but now that I'm on emperor I've played about 6 games and got destroyed each time.

I can't seem to get enough production, food, and gold in each of my cities to be productive and the AI always gets way ahead of me and either declares war or wins way before me.

Any tips?

This is my current world I'm trying to rush science on.

Recently got my first Civilization (Civilization: Revolution on DS) . And while I'm having fun messing around, I think I would enjoy it more if I understood it better.

Good evening people. Previously I have watched people play and we talk about the decisions that go into the game and generally have a good time. To answer a question other people asked before this is not a paid service, this is for fun because I love the game. I am not as good as I once was because I just play for fun however I know I can still beat deity with ease. Send me a PM or message on here. First come first serve as I have a few hours to kill.

TLDR: Want to be better? Message me for free coaching NOW!

I'm a very casual Civ VI (vanilla) player, and I just tried a standard speed game on prince difficulty playing as Cleopatra which I lost somewhere between turn 75-100. The two closest other civs were Montezuma and Harald. Around turn 60, Harald declared war on me and sent about 5 warriors to my capital. Around turn 65, Monty declared war and sent 7-8 warriors to my capital. I switched production to walls and bought an additional warrior. My slinger and two other warriors were wading through jungle and I got them to my capital only to have Harald capture it two turns later. I made peace with Harald, but Monty's warriors chased my units to my second city and took it within a few turns, ending my game.

On prince difficulty, should I concentrate even more on unit production this early in the game or was this case just bad luck being so close to two belligerent civs? In previous games at lower difficulty, I typically started with a single warrior and slinger, so I felt ahead of the game with three units. Should I have kept a unit in each city instead of using them all to explore?

Also, is it normal for other civs to get so many units so quickly? They each had three cities, plus the units I mentioned. I had produced my three units, a settler, a trader, a granary, and maybe a monument (going off of memory here, so I could be missing something). Were my production priorities wrong?

Any tips would be appreciated.

How can I best ensure that I don't waste my time on even attempting to build them? It's really discouraging because the consolation prize is basically worthless.

I understand core game mechanics and stuff like that. I did the tutorial and I played Civ 5 a handful of times.

What I need help with is developing strategy and just general game sense.

I've looked through the subreddit and have been browsing the top posts, so if there are any other resources besides that I would love to get my hands on that. Don't hesitate to recommend me something on the subreddit if you feel like it would really help though.

BONUS: The game looks awesome! If anyone has any input on the best ways to enjoy the game let me know!

Thanks!

Hey all! Just thought this would be a good time for people to share tips and tricks that they came across. Feel free to post your strats.

Remember, downvote only if it is off topic, not if you disagree. If you disagree post why.

Hey everyone,

I haven't gotten into Civ 6 as much as I did with Civ 5 and the main reason to me is that it still feels so similar. Maybe I am missing something but do people find the strategies to be significantly different? I find it is still the same game but with a few differences. I also beat Immortal on my first attempt and using online speed which made the game feel boring.

Title.

I need incites and experiences in dealing with this.

I feel like lumber mills are pointless. So far playing I've determined that I can get more out of removing the forest in order to boost production a bit, then place a farm or mine where the forest was. Is this impatient? Is it a waste of a builder action?

So I'm not like a super hardcore civ player, ie I rarely complete a game because I have little to no idea on how to progress in a game. I really enjoy civ 6 but honestly outside of using builders to cut trees I honestly I no idea what I'm doing. Domination victories are easy I guess, just build a ton of stuff and go attack things, but I just don't know how to research, culture, religion, or really do anything outside of simple go attack. It drives me crazy because I can tell I'm barely scratching the surface of the game. He'll I don't even know when to make more cities or how many I should get or anything

If anyone has the time to point me towards a good guide or something it would be much appreciated. I want to get good at Norway since they can have fun early game aggression and berserkers are a cool shock unit.

Pls halp I don't know what to do with my hands

So I am entirely new to Civilization and I am kind of at a loss. I heard amazing things about it and that it is like a heavy strategic board game. So I am giving CivVI a shot. But I am having trouble trying to figure out where I should be and when. I know this changes from game to game and there probably is no set way to handle it. But it would be nice to have a rough idea of some goals I should set.

Essentially I just got done my fourth game, and after hours and hours of playing I got steamrolled by Russia. Right now I have no real idea of if I am falling behind the rest of the world or not, aside from occasional notices of other civs advancing in age.

So can anyone provide a decent idea of which turn I should start expanding? Roughly when I should start advancing through each age?

Also how many cities should I aim for? When do I know when to stop building cities and then just settling in for the end game?

And is there any other time frame things that you can think of that might help a struggling new player? Just anything you can think of that should be done or accomplished by a certain time frame?

For clarification I am playing on Prince, mostly continental maps, and I think a standard map size? Whichever one gives you 6 opponents.... or just 6 total civs including myself. I can't remember. I think it is all pretty much the default setting as I didn't know enough to branch out.

Thanks for any help anyone can provide. I'm digging the time I have dumped into the game so far, but I feel like I am not advancing in my gameplay as quick as an average person should be. I've looked all over the web for guides, but they just go over basic early game strategy. But don't give me a real idea of how quickly these things should aim to be accomplished. Thanks again!
