These barbs are making this practically unplayable. Can't catch scouts ever and even one getting away means like four horsemen coming in and fucking stuff up.

8 hours played on king, culture victory is in the bag barring unforseen happenings like the entire world attacking me at once. Thoughts thus far:

It's mostly better than double-expanded civ5 out of the box

Jesus why god am I refreshing so many spies and trade routes did they learn nothing from Beyond Earth I long for death

Attempting to go fairly tell is not the way to be. Not only am I having a really hard time holding all my great works (And everyone else's, thank you spies you are my greatest allies) I got done up the ass pretty hard on later strategic resources. No niter, no oil, cockblocked army upgrading and generally clunky shit

Still not entirely sure what's going on with the culture victory. It tells me more culture and more tourism is more gooderer but I'm not entirely sure what does what (If anything)

Fast movement and attack animations but not instant is fantastic

The focus on wide so much over tall is a real shame and may put me off in the long run. Admittedly there's a lot of work that you can put in to every single city so going wide gives you a lot of shit to do which isn't ENTIRELY just busywork, but still not completely my bag

Agendas seem to just piss off the entire world always. Surprisingly difficult to hold a semi-stable friend since everything you do is making someone somewhere angry

Overall enjoying it and like I said, feels better than current-civ5 right now but I also don't think it's going to end up being a 1 2 or 4 for me. I'll play a fair few games of it but it's not feeling like one that's going to completely grab me by the balls for months/years on end.

Why the FUCK doesn't the "lock mouse to window" option fucking work?

I always scroll the map by moving my cursor to the edge of the screen, but apparently this game doesn't want me to do that, since "Scroll when Mouse at Edge" was turned off by default, and the map doesn't scroll when you're hovering over the top menu bar even when it's turned on. Not that any of that fucking matters, because the "lock mouse to window" option is fucking broken, so I end up accidentally clicking somewhere on my second monitor and accidentally minimizing the game every 15 seconds. FUCK

How do you fuckers usually scroll the map? With the arrow keys? Click and drag? Both of those feel really awful.

Has anyone here tried out the Endless Space 2 Early Access? How is it shaping up?

Yo

Placing district mechanics is shit

That is all.

I have no idea how International Tourism is calculated. I won a cultural victory in AD 1610 before I even got to Seaside Resorts and I never made a National Park (Kongo doesn't get enough faith), but my capital had something like 20 visiting tourists because it had 5 great works of writing in it.

The best thing I can tell is that both wonders and things that generate tourism generate visiting tourists slowly over time, but I have no idea how the numbers involved translate.

So I have a Great Merchant and no idea how to use him. Supposedly he can give +1 trade route and some gold bonus but I have no idea how to use that ability. I went to a commerce district and there's no option and there's also no option within a town. All I see is the annex tile ability.

Yes, because it tells me relative military strength

is there any point in going tall

>>158092508

yes

Is there a mod for Civ 6 yet that makes the tooltip for what terrain and modifiers tiles have not take for fucking ever, or better yet, just adds a permanent little window that displays that shit on mouseover?

Unbelievable that the options don't have tooltip delay in them.

>>158092524
Just reading the civ/leader abilities already made me wonder how anyone could even look at it and think its balanced.

I'm sure China just loves having to fiddle around like a motherfucker for their great wall and then you can just lose the fucking tile. Meanwhile Saladin is like "lol i dont have to build faith to get a religion and i get +10% to everything for having one"

Is there a picture of the VI tech tree yet?

>>158092663
china's literally F R E E wonders are pretty nice, but the wall is fiddly as shit and none of it compares to clonehorse

>>158092663
It's even worse when you realize horse units can just rape cities for free.

>horseman attacking over river loses like 15 hp and deals like 40 damage to the city

Do apostles act like inquisitors and remove foreign religions from your city?

>>158092754
>>158092763
Oh don't worry I noticed how bullshit horses are when a barb encampment started spamming them. Y'know since barbarian camps apparently can now spawn new units every 3 turns or so and basically besiege your entire city with one camp while 2 more spawn during the time it takes you to combat a shitty 1 tile camp that has higher military production than your city.

Can't build certain districts without X pop but if you don't get them in time you literally go broke because you produce no fucking income without a Commercial District that needs 10 pop.

Name a nation that never historically went to war that still exists. Every country that we think of as being super-peaceful today is like that because they were delivering the good dick to all their neighbours back in the day, otherwise they'd be part of another nation.

I really like how VI actually captures this fact. Early game there's no "civilization" among the civs, its a slugfest over the most stupid reasons, only late game can you carve out a dignified and humane society on the foundation of all the blood you spilled.

Does anyone else feel like every civ in the game is very "jack of all trades" in this game? They all have so many powers that affect so many assets of the game that even if you don't have something that directly makes you better at something the way the game works you'll get it anyways when you dominate another part of the game. It feels like it's designed to be a safety net from minmaxing

Imo china is my favourite civ so far because they actually feel decently different, what are yours

Also hope a tall civ comes in dlc or some shit everything in this game feels extremely wide

I'm sure there's a meme to be made here with that expression of his, but I've got nothing right now

Your playstyle is gonna be dictated a lot more by what the RNG throws in your direct vicinity, because you can either research whatever you want real slow, or you can research what the game gives you easy Eureka/Inspirations for and go twice as fast.

Considering I started in deep marshland as Egypt I feel like there's no start bias to combat this either.

just cheat to make yourself collectivist

Well I just started a new Civ 6 game and I'm at a River surrounded by 4 mercury deposits. That sounds healthy.

Was on ironman.

PS. great idea to restart. godly start

Just one scout?

I tried to do a couple of pointless expansions at turn ~400 after I had basically won. A single district required something like 5200 hammers and took 120 turns. Why is such mechanic even in the game? You pretty much have to make all your expansions in the ancient era now?

It's based on amount of cities, not era

>>158096467
You'll be wishing you didn't waste production on more scouts when you're being assfucked by 5 barbarian horsemen

civ 4 question

should i download dawn of civilization or just play the RFC scenario that comes with BTS

>>158096478
It aint era. It's the new wide limiter.

How's civ 6?

>>158096628
It's good
Unpolished but worth the price

xenophiles can purge other species, just not their own. Collectivists can purge anyone.

I like roleplaying too but the game is just shit without being able to purge.

Am I retarded?
How do I take this city?
Its got no fucking health but my units just keep attacking it and get nothing done

>>158096532
Well those were my 9th and 10th cities I think and I had only expanded by capturing cities post ancient, but the first 6 I planted definitely didn't feel much penalized at all. Felt a bit harsh for only 9th city.

>>158096628
it's shit
